Herboven Decarboxylator 230V with UK Plug,Decarb Machine with Infuser Feature, Suitable for Small Batch of Herbs

Product Information

CO2 release:As the carboxyl group detaches, it releases carbon dioxide (CO2) as a byproduct. During the release of CO2, the cannabinoids in the plant matter are converted into their active forms. Once the process is complete, your flower will have a higher concentration of active THC and CBD, making it more potent and effective for homemade infusions, edibles, tinctures, or topicals.

QUIET DESIGN: The Ardent Nova Decarboxylator and Infuser preps botanicals for topical, oral or sublingual use right in the comfort of your own home. Quiet, odorless, and simple to use, the Nova Decarboxylator is the ultimate botanical activator According to scientific studies, cannabinoid acids have some medicinal potential of their own. But to become their active form, including THC and CBD, they must go through a process called decarboxylation. What exactly is decarboxylation?The Ardent Nova Decarboxylator preps botanicals for topical, oral or sublingual use right in the comfort of your own home. Quiet, odourless and simple to use, the Nova Decarboxylator is the ultimate botanical activator What's actually happening under the hood? The cannabinoid acids in raw weed have an extra molecule of CO₂ attached. This is also known to chemists as a carboxyl group (hence the term de- carboxyl-ation). Applying enough heat causes this extra CO₂ molecule to be released, leaving behind the active cannabinoids we know and love (along with some excess CO₂ gas). How to decarboxylate cannabis buds in your oven The decarboxylation process occurs between 90 and 140°C. Therefore, using the oven method you can either: (1) heat at a higher temperature for a shorter period of time or (2) heat at a lower temperature over a longer period of time.

Congrats! Your cannabis is decarbed with little to no effort on your part. You can now move on to infusion or extraction, using the same herb cooker. One important thing to note for CBD users is that CBD does have a different heating point to THC, meaning there’s a different decarb rate. With most strains, this isn’t an issue but if your hemp is heavily CBD dominant you will need to put your herb through the Lift twice, as one run only decarbs 50% of CBD-heavy herb. What I LikeAnother advantage of the Ardent Nova is it doesn’t produce any smell like the oven method. This is particularly handy for those wishing to be discrete. Consuming cannabis in its raw form contains no active THC or CBD. Rather, raw cannabis contains THCa and/or CBDa– the acidic precursors to THC and CBD. To convert that CBDA into CBD, and enjoy its potentially therapeutic effects, decarboxylate your weed. What happens if you decarb weed for too long? Also, be advised that the boiling points of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids are much different than their decarboxylation points. Boiling points for these compounds have been much more thoroughly studied than their decarb temperatures: Cannabinoids
