maybe some day you will be more open minded and can learn from those who have already spent much time researching to learn proper information.
first off, its not an opinion that what crackles in oil is water, its based on years of observation and tests by many people. almost every experienced oil maker here knows what the truth is in this matter, and none of them agree with you. Must mean something, probably, you should not have such strong beliefs, then its possible to change to allow new information give you a more accurate representation of reality.
as for assuming, you are classicly guilty here: you said yourself you did not make the oil, and even if you did, there are ways the water can get in invisibly to you. a true statement i can make about this is that every time i make oil i cannot assume there is no water in it, until it has been tested with use. you never know for sure if some got in unless you test after. people who say the oil crackles from water are helping you learn what they already proved to themselves.
water does not purge well out of oil, its stuck in there worse than butane. you have to spot cook it out really hot, if you see a drop, but if it was formed by cold dish use, it would take prolonged heat with it spread thin.
light some pure butane on fire and see for yourself, no crackle or sizzle.
light the bubbles on your plate of oil purging, the bubbles light up with almost 0 sound.
take oil that vapes with no crackle, add some water in it and observe.
How about you do as you say before recomending it to others? OK?
Take some under purged oil and put it on a nail....you'll see the crackle and sizzle. Its the instant super heat that causes this to happen to water and butane.
