What are you tapping into? An empty collection pot?
Looking at schematic on skunkpharm, Valve #4 is at the point of solvent injectio, which can be routed to the material column or the collection pot directly.
Chill the vessel that you want butane to go to to help draw it, as well as drop the pressure in your collection enough to allow you to inject an entire can (and several).

I made a top stem adapter to load the butane. you will need a 1/4 flare, a end cap with a 1/4 fnpt and a valve to turn on and shut off the injection of butane.
Loading through valve 4 injection port leads to butane escaping, plus the awkward angle tires the wrist real fast.

Is this rapidly boiling butane because of not so cold (frozen) sight glass or it is low pressure inside?

and is it enought pressure inside, or sight glass is frozen so that butane doesn't boil rapidly?

Please post a picture of your overall system, so that I can see where your sight glass is located and how your system is plumbed. You shouldn't be boiling in your sight glass. You should be boiling in your recovery pot.
The lighter color when boiling is due to the Beers/Lambert effect, where significantly more light passes through the thinner films that thicker films.
