Decarboxylator machine

I think I asked this before ATU... with the ardent machine I remember you said that one can cut a bud from the plant and decarb for immediate use. But can someone like oldjarhead100 comment on the taste in a joint. I remember ATU said it tastes great vapped. I'm a 2 joints, then smoke 2 more kinda guy.
I know anyone that can save a lb of roaches smokes a few doobies. Lol
Thanks again Alltatup for your investigation into the unknowns of our wonderful plant.
Cheers
 
My friends smoked some decarb in my bubbler bong and said it was smooth (we were using hemp wick).

Cali, I went ahead and decarbed all the buds from my last harvest, and put them in jars with 65% bovedas (since they come out of the NOVA at a low RH (can't remember the number offhand--maybe 57-60%). Next time I'll write it down when I decarb fresh bud. But it made sense to me at the time to put a slightly higher RH in there with those buds, and I think they like it.

I really don't know whether this is subjectivity or objectivity, but 4-5 weeks after decarbing, in cool, dark jars with 65 bovedas, the perfume is wonderful when I open a jar. The buds are nice and maleable, and the high is very good. I can still see sparkling trichomes on some of the buds.
 
ATU when you do a fresh bud does it come out dry or wet and limp cause thats how mine comes out I would have to decarb it 3 or 4 times to get it dry enough to roll a j with it now putting it in a bowl might work
just dont have a clean pipe right now lol
 
we had our family Chrismas party and a cousin said he had 5 gallons of 160 proof moonshine that he is looking to get rid of 160 proof should work for tinctures right
I mean will I have to change the procedure also I dont know how it will taste but if its free who cares lol
 
It should work fine so long as your not burping up home brew after that’s nasty
It’s readily available here if you get enough it makes good Khalua (sp)
 
OJH, it will work, it just won't be quite as strong as the 190 proof because of the higher % of water present. The water will pull out some stuff, like more chlorophyl, while the alcohol only infuses the good stuff.
 
OJH, Save it till I get there in a couple of weeks. I can show ya how to use that moonshine so the water in the shine doesn't bleed out chlorophyll. We can make some nice golden dragon !
 
@allatup , I don't dry until i'm ready to use herb. I put my fresh cut into jars and let it cure a few months.
The decarboxalator does not dry it out unless you don't use the top. I don't know if decarbing early before drying helps.
My reading seems to indicate that decarbing will arrest further curing.
 
Got my Lift yesterday. Which was a bit of a surprise as I ordered a Nova. First test with fresh cut flower has made a very positive impression. Much stronger effects than I've been getting with my digital/hot oil technique.
I chewed a 2 gram bud with a cookie chaser. Less than an hour later, full body come on. Then pleasant couch lock. Also very smooth to vape with strong effects.
Will be continuing tests today, tomorrow and beyond.

I was getting good results with my home made set up, but it was also inconsistent. Some batches were kick ass, others were disappointing. Flower coming out of the same jar. So I felt like I was wasting. Found a discount number online (they are all over if you look), which paid for the expedited freight. $30 coupon, $25 expedited freight.
One odd feature is that the Nova can only be shipped to certain states. The Lift has to be shipped to other states. I was sent a Lift, out of MA.
Haven't bumped into warranty information yet.

Edit: It comes with a one year warranty. Be sure to save all packaging and everything else (like the plug cover), just in case you need to return.

Thank you for that link. All I care about is functionality and that seems to be there. Just decarb'd a second batch and will taste later today. Maybe sooner than later. : )
 
Yes, mine is called a Lift, but it's the same as the Nova. Jeff Sessions is the only one who doesn't know...
 
hey, folks, I got mine about a month ago and have been using it to make edibles only. So much easier and lots less smell. I also really like that I can turn it on and go do something else, even leave the house because it only gets to one temp and turns itself off. Love that. alltatup_ thanks for the link to this awesome machine! I haven't tried using fresh bud yet and haven't tried smoking it either but am going to after reading these threads. I have also found that using 190 proof works better than 90-150 proof. I'm getting the best results_in terms of strength and flavor from using decarbed dry ice keif/hash than bud- its stronger so you have to use less (HA, depending on how high you want to get or not) and also much less taste. Its also worked really well for tinctures as well as butter/oil. Also cool that you can just put the keif/hash directly into whatever you're making_it is so fine its hard to tell there is any
weed" in it. Thanks to everyone above for all the ways they've been using it_ gonna try some of those out too_especialy vaping_ haven't tried that yet or using newly harvested bud.Cheers to all!
 
Good to hear you are getting results like everybody else. I've used fresh cut flower and it turns out great. Vapes very smooth. Useful for all other applications.
I think I'm moving toward screening some hash out of this stuff after its been decarbed. Some of that in hard candy could be tolerable. : )
Don't forget to Lift your cuttings! Now waiting for mine to end a cycle.
 
Its great. Maybe I'll decarb some bud today! Or get really ambitious and make some dry ice hash first! I did find that when using the decarb that I seemed to get more effect when I ate some animal or veggie fat along with it_ don't have to infuse it in oil or butter_ just eat something with fat in it at the same time. Especially when using the decarbed hash/keif. I think the fat just helps with absorption, maybe.
