Can you vacuum lower than -26" Hg?

What elevation are you at?

I infer 2740 feet. Full vacuum is -29.92" Hg, so the 27.1" Hg is minus 2.6" altitude adjustment, while -26" Hg is minus 3.92" Hg.
I typically recover at about -29.5, or only minus 0.42 inches HG at sea level, sooo I would say off hand that you don't have deep enough vacuum.
I would dead head your vacuum pump and see if it will pull 27" Hg.

If you hook your gauge directly to your pump with a hose and turn on the pump, the hose and gauge are evacuated quickly to maximum achievable vacuum, which allows you to see how far the system will pull down without any leaks anywhere.

I think this is a funny thread. If you over purge it will "butter up" and that's what guys call crumble. Look butane is a gas that leaves the environment just as fast as you interjected it. Look at a bick lighter, you can see the butane in the lighter but when you turn it upside down and squirt it is your hand wet with butane? I'm a journeyman steamfitter google that.
Funny thread tho. I'd say 45 minutes tops.

It's still a shatter it shatters last this morning around 10am I tested it and all the butane was out after 6 days and it still shatters I'm not gonna put it in for 45 and get sick smoking it Google the side affects of smoking butane it's really bad so I left it in and at 45 mins I've never Hurd that time. At what temp?

What you can't make shatter purging the resin for 6 days. Crumble for sure. Butane dissipates in the environment almost immediately especially under a full purge. I make shatter everyday bro using a closed loop recovery system. Don't let these guys throw you off and tell you to purge for 6 days. Lol suite yourself bro. Keep doing it for 6 days then.
Really funny, I just ran into this post and had to laugh.

I do it till It can break a Chunk off take a light to it and it melts away if it sparks up there's still butane in it and it sparked up lots every time till this morning. and my bud works at a medical place and they do it for 1 week with temp at 80f. My Max pressure is -26.6 that I can get if you have a good way for that pressure let me know I'm looking for help making this not looking to argue

Bro the resin itself will always catch fire if you put a flame to it

No it just melt down when hit with a lighter if it sparks there's still bad shit in it what I've been told by over 80 people and I notice when I tried it when it sparked I cough for a long time and I just about puked but now it's out I barely cough and get ripped and yes I run best value vac? So I froze a batch of green and used chilled butane of whip it brand I sprayed last night and once it evaporated I put back in freezer Cuz I had a been and never wanted to scrap but I was gonna do it when I get home can you recommend a time and temp for -26.6 ?please and thanks

Yeah that looks good my 2nd batch looked like that when my pump only hit -25 then I taped the lid and hit -26.6 and it started bubbled with very large bubbles. Do you got a time and temp for -26.6 I can use ?
