    Best BHO Extraction tube

    . I've been running my BHO out of 5/8" copper tubing for years and I want to switch to a stainless steel tube with valves for closing and keeping the pressure inside the tube. I've found two versions, one from Ablaze and the second from Best Value Vacs. Ablaze offers a 45 gram tube, including...

    100% Decarb With The NOVA

    . I just got an email from Cara at Ardent. Apparently the foul smell in the cap and sealant is the smell of properly decarbed bud. I think she's full of shit. . Who else bought a Lift because of this thread then found it to be smelly? . What alternative is there? I've got a half gallon...

    100% Decarb With The NOVA

    . I've gotta give Ardent an A+ for customer service, my replacement Lift came in today barely 2 weeks since sending out my old model. The problem is the silicone cover smells the same as my old one. If I didn't need decarbing so bad I'd toss this one out and call it a day on my $210. Does no...

    100% Decarb With The NOVA

    . My first Nova stunk of sealant or plastic, the smell soaked into the buds. I emailed Ardent but got no response, so I packed up my Nova and left it under a desk. This spring I screwed some bud by letting them dry too much in the early curing phase, basically stopping the cure. I took out...

    Desktop CO2 Subcritical Fluid Extractor - $3,200

    . Dave I`m thinking for getting one when I have a lot of trim on hand, I`m not a dabber so I wouldn`t be running any good bud through it to make shatter. I`m not sure of what I`d use the extract for, maybe tincture. .

    100% Decarb With The NOVA

    I took a quick run home on my supper hour to run a test with cured bud and decarbed bud of the same variety (decarbed last night). I ran back to back bags on my Volcano. Normally I wouldnt feel any higher off the second bag right away, this time I definitely feel higher. My vocabulary seems...

    Herb Grinders

    . I just picked up a Sharpstone V2.0, 2.5 inch, it has raised groves for the fingers to catch to help with unbinding the unit after grinding. I would like a bigger one, the 2.5 inch is their biggest, but this one does a great job grinding. .

    100% Decarb With The NOVA

    . Foul smell update I washed and soaked the inner silicone cap for 3 hours and only dimmed the smell. The inner cup washed out clean after a few minutes, no smell. Be careful washing and drying the inner cup, there is a sharp edge on the inner lip that gives a nasty paper like cut. I then...

    100% Decarb With The NOVA

    . I emailed Ardent yesterday and got a reply today at 9:30 am: . Hi Hobbess, Thanks for your message and sorry there is an issue with your unit. Please try a quick soapy soak and wash of the cup and the cap and/or a run through the dishwasher. If there is still a smell please let me know...

    100% Decarb With The NOVA

    . That's great Frank, what kind of inner lid do you have? Anyone who is getting a stink should chime in here and give Ardent an email, so we can get some help solving this problem. I'm not noticing any bad taste when vaporing, but there is a definite smell transfer from Nova to bud. I'm...

    100% Decarb With The NOVA

    . I'm sure that the smell goes the other way around, the silicon(?) cap is stinking up the whole unit. I emailed Ardent about the odor, I'll see if they respond. In the meantime I want to go with something metal to act as the cover, any ideas other than having one machined? I'll take...

    100% Decarb With The NOVA

    . Foul Odor Does anyone with the new silicon cap notice a foul odor coming from it? Very rank. The odor transfers to the bud but I don't notice it when vaping. Most of my decarbed bud will be for capsules so the odor isn't a deal breaker, but it's disturbing. I can't see Ardent not...

    . Hi Frank, welcome aboard! What's rosin? The trichomes pressed away from the plant matter? How do you use it? Why press? I've browsed a couple of rosin threads and still can't wrap my mind around it, probably should have another thread, sorry for taking things off topic. .

    Which Canadian Licensed Producer are you with, and are you happy?

    . I ran out of capsules for decabed bud and Hydropothecary is sending me 300 for free, after a call to customer service. It`s their policy to only send capsules when decarbed bud is ordered, but they took care of me with the first call. I offered to pay for shipping and the capsules but they...
