Can somebody break it down barney style for me? What is "decarbing" and do I need to do it?
Lol.Its when your stopped eating carbs for ages.
There are coupons,,usually for $30 usd off. I got mine for $180 usd..still pricey for what it is. BTW..I smoked some decarbed weed from it and I was astonished at the good taste and high I got from it.There is a cheaper way to decarb that is precise....buy a sous vide. You can get them for about 100 bucks canadian that fits on your instant pot. It is an imersion heater used to cook food precisely.
Set it to 210 F and put your buds in a vac seal bag (all sealed) put it in the water for 2 hours. Let it cool down and its ready for use
With decarbed weed you can eat the bud and get high. They taste kind of nutty and crunchy (you can sting yourself).
I decarb my weed for edibles. For the next batch i am getting that sous vide. 6 to 7 weeks to chop.
The Ardent Lift is the bomb for decarb it is just pricey. 240 USD is about 320 CDN.
Not sure who you mean, but apparently the Ardent will decarb about 100% of the THC and we are lucky if we could decarb 85% traditionally.We all smoke decarbed weed..I don't think it possible not to...or are you just saying that's what you used to dry it really fast..

Curious how to attain 240' when cooking in water, where max would be boiling? Not busting balls...just sayin.and to gwheels post here is some more info, Much better and more efficient way to evenly decard your erbs.
Sous Vide Decarboxylation Temperature
The Sous Vide method is the brainchild of Sir Benjamin Thompson, an American British physicist. One of his experiments involved even-cooking a mutton shoulder using this method. In short, the weed is vacuum sealed in plastic, then a water-circulating heating element is placed in a pot of water to heat the water evenly. Next, the vacuum sealed weed is placed inside and slow cooked to decarboxylate fully and evenly.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Vacuum sealing machine
- Weed grinder
- Sous vide precision cooker
- 10 quart pot
The advantage of this method is that the water circulates to produce an even temperature, all of the weed is cooked evenly and thoroughly providing a consistent amount of THC and CBD throughout. This process also protects your weed from burning on the outside.
- Grind your weed up to a coarse grain but not a powder, being sure to collect any kief produced.
- Seal your weed in heat-safe plastic with your vacuum sealer.
- Place your sous vide precision cooker in your pot filled with water and set the temperature to 200 to 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once the water reaches the correct temperature, add your sealed weed and cook for 1 hr 30 mins to 1 hr 40 mins.
I think you are not getting a complete decarb at those settings..I used an accurate oven at 240 for 40 minutes and thought I was good..NOT..The Ardent does it way better than I could.I decarb usually 6 oz in a baking bag(large) @225F for 30 minutes. Never fails. I use this stuff for baking cooking, wouldnt waste my time without decarb
