For all of you who are having multiple failures and are using a crockpot, I suggest that you try using a toaster oven or an oven. I made my first batch with a crockpot and it came out decent, but my second batch that I made using my toaster oven came out easily twice as good. Just try putting the plain butter/coconut oil in the oven for a while and checking the temp a few times before you put the gange into it. This will help you make sure that youre not overcooking it. I had mine around 325 the whole time.

Oh and decarbing is also something that I've come to love. My caps made with decarbed gange come out way better.

AND if anybody is having trouble finding empty caps around where they live and dont want to order off the internet, just go to any health store or any store that sells vitamins, and buy the cheapest ones and just empty them out. It's pretty easy.
