Are these bubbles pockets of air?

Title says it all...33 grams purged for 30 hours now.
Bubbles arent colorful or irregular shaped anymore. No crackling, or butane smell/after taste.
Bubbles look differentish because its heating to 100 before i put back in to purge. Im trying to finish this off while retaining as much terps as i can...

From here it looks like water and solvent. 100F is too low, if you are going for bubble free shatter.

Try 110 to 115F and -29.5" Hg
.

So my only issue with going to 110 is that I notice it begins to wax up on me at those temps. Would purging at 100 initially and then upping it to 110 to finish it off work decently? Or any other advice to try and negate this inevitability? The most recent batch I'm messing with temps at 110 so hopefully it begins to finish with minimal/no waxing. Thank you for the advice,

I've noticed that a little bit of ethanol in the blast dish seems to help loosen the patty so the butane may escape. If this fails then winterize and you will likely drop the culprits.

Are you positive about your temperature and pressure? How are you measuring those two parameters and where?

How are you getting there?

115F should liquify everything, if brought right up to temperature, vis a vis incrementing your way up.
