Decarboxylator machine

I use a flood light shining on my silicone dish. Position so that its warm but not too hot. No fan.
The alcohol is very shy and hates the light.
 
Part of a day does all I mix at one time. My silicone dish is about 10" square. I put 4-8 oz of EverClear in it and set up the light. I never leave it on at night, unattended.
I do a lot of passive, time consuming chemical things in my studio, so this is just another one of those things.
 
Jason I think I misread your post originally. Here's my take on what you suggest: I would just decarb the hash and then infuse into the oil. I am a little wary of oils because they go rancid, which is why I prefer pga infusion. At the very least, if you just decarbed the hash, you wouldn't have to heat the oil, and the hash WILL infuse in oil without heat... won't it? My understanding is that oil and alcohol infuse the cannabinoids etc. without heat.

alltatup_ wow, thanks_ photos too_great! It sounds like you took all the necessary precautions and I'm gonna try that too. Have you tried putting the oil in the freezer to see if it solidifies- at least until it warms up again?
 
oldjarhead100_ thats a great idea_pouring the tincture into one of those trays, letting the ever clear evaporate and then freezing. I have some of those small silicon containers too_ I use them for the rosin I make and a great idea to keep oil in too_ so easy to work with when its frozen. Those trays look nice too. Thanks for the info.
 
Yeah you don't need to heat 2x and I'm not sure the Lift would decarb something once its in oil....it doesn't get very hot. Could be though....never know till you try it.
But you can decarb your hash, mix it directly into an oil or butter or anything with animal or vegetable fat and then just cook with that or eat it. if you just use the first/ finest screen to make the dry ice hash then it hardly tastes at all and is so fine it mixes right in with just about anything. it even works well to put the decarbed hash into veg caps (2X size) and then just swallow_ no taste at all. then just eat something with fat in it.
 
I think its the uv in the light that breaks down the THC but not real sure if artificial light can do that too? I know sunlight will for sure. But I keep all my jars in a cool, dark, dry place....and the freezer once they're 6 months cured.I'm getting me a couple of those silicon trays for sure_ thanks for the tips!
Anyone ever heard of freeze drying bud?
 
ZigZag I do keep the oil in the freezer and take my rice grain sized swab for under the tongue with a toothpick. It's too sloppy and gooey at room temp. I figure it's better for the oil to be in the freezer, too.
 
Has anyone found anything other than the nova or lift? I am looking for a more sturdy option to advents unit as they are not returning my inquiries about warranty.... more than a bit disappointed with the life span!!!!!
 
The units come with a one year warranty. Hopefully, they last quite a while as no batteries are involved.
Be sure to save ALL the packaging material. It needs to be returned with the unit for warrant service. And don't open the unit up. That voids the warranty.
 
Mine works fine too, but crap, I tossed the package. Oh well, if it dies, I'll hack it. Maybe adapt a deisel motor or something.
 
And still no response? I am thinking if they don’t I will call my credit card and have them reverse the payment, apperanlty it’s an option. If they don’t stand behind your brand, I am happy to put they out of pocket rather than myself.
