No trichomes are harmed when I decarb. I decarb the whole bud. I've seen how much happiness is left behind when I grind for smoking.

Hey, that’s my wife’s coffee grinder, heh. That thing would brutal on pot, I will update to say hand grinder.

What is that purple thing? Some insulted food heater? How hot does it get? Are the buds in liquid or dry?
 
I wondered about that. If all buds are cut from their stems they aren’t much bigger than a really big piece of popcorn.
 
I used to chop the shit up, then I put some GG4 bud in whole and decarbed it then into the freeze with 190, when I took it out and shook the hell out of it, all the bud fell apart. After that I no longer do anything to the bud before it gets decarbed, maybe I'm lazy, but if its going to fall apart on its own why chop it?
 
I decarb in a sealed Ball Jar, 240 for 40 minutes in the oven. No smell, no hassle & ready to extract as soon as the jar cools. Can't see how it matters much whether you grind or not since the temperature for everything in the jar hits the same level and that's what is doing the Decarb work. Oh yeah, I pre-heat the jar so there's no guess work about time at temp.
 
I don't usually have to break anything up. I smoke my buds and use the trim for everything else so it's usually already pretty broken up. After decarb I crush it up with my hands in the pyrex dish I heated it in. I feel like it's a little easier if it's still a little warm.
 
Last night I put some large buds into a mason jar and decarbed them at 250F for 35 minutes. They broke apart from the stem so easily to go into the shredder and ground nicely. I’m finding that decarbed weed works beautifully in my Firefly 2+ set at a lower 300s range. It’s smoother and I just have to do a slow inhale for 10 seconds, let goes of the sensors and continue the slow inhale until I have no capacity left. The taste is amazing even more and I haven’t had any combusting on the second and third tries from the same bowl so its gone farther.

I’ve also been filling my capsules with it. Man are those potent!
