Consistancy is everything, especially as far as tempature goes. Imo you have to use digital temp control or simular accuracy -/+ 1 degree, or you wasting your time. A tempature spike can easily push your shatter into wax. Screw that! Griddles and the like are not for vac purge...they use 15-30degree spikes to climb a couple of degrees and do that constantly thru the purge time. Not good. Temps will jump up and down inevitably
Theres no set number on temp for what makes what as far as consistancy because other variables like how fine you grind up your stalk, what micron screen size your using, how much you agitate your bho, etc. all come into play and in combination with temp.
I only make Two types myself. Live resin from fresh frozen buds and shatter from cured buds. The goal with temp is to preserve as much flavor as possible by not burning out your terps but making your bho still viscous enough to let out the bubbles of tane when under pressure.
For Shatter I go 89-95 degrees. For live resin I go 80-89 degrees as to preserve more of its flavor than shatter because raw terps evap quiker as dry cured weed lost most of those terps in its drying phase.
Nothing in the blast game is black and white but I can tell you that consistancy is key
Another great tip. Agitate the bho least as possible. I make dishes out of Raw Brand parch paper and four paper clips then blast into that so i do not need to scrape with a blade. I set the oarch dish in my chamber and purge it for 48-72 hours without disturbing it and it comes out magical every single time.
The only time you shpuld get a wax result is if you made a mistake. There is no reason to make wax intentionally when you can make shatter instead
