Bleeding brakes with Mityvac. Need tips.

I'm having a little trouble with this seemingly easy task. i open the bleed nipple and attach the mityvac. the problem is, the bubbles never ever go away. shouldn't the brake fluid be coming out without bubbles? maybe the tube is not tight enough around the nipple? maybe the nipple is too loose? help! i've never bled brakes with a mityvac before. what am i doing wrong.
