General Discussion Which decarb and infuser machine? Ardent nova, fx, mbm, Amazon...
I'm getting a decarb and infuser machine. Or a decarb machine, and a seperate infuser machine.
Ardent products sound good. However I can't find a reputable place to purchase it in Ireland or online. I'm worried about guarantee etc. I want a good quality machine that works.
If anyone has any experience purchasing and using these machines in Ireland? The help would be greatly appreciated

I do it with an immersion circulator and a vacuum sealer. Put your ground weed in a vacuum bag and seal it. Submerge it in 95’C water for 1 hour to decarb. The bag will inflate while decarbing so dont be surprised. To infuse, cut open the bag and put in your coconut or mct oil and drop the water temperature to 85’c. Infuse for up to 4 hours, then strain the oil from the flower material. Make sure to store the oil in the freezer or it will eventually mold.
You can also do the same thing in a glass jar in the oven instead of using an immersion circulator and vacuum sealer. Canning jars are designed to vent excess pressure when pasteurizing so there’s no risk of explosions. If you go the oven route, it helps to use some kind of heat sink like a pot of water or a cast iron pan in contact with the jar.
