Ecru 420

Been using a Levo. Interested to hear how well the Ecru works.

 

Also have the Ardent FX
No problems with the FX so far but the ability to control the temps seems like a good idea
I'm trying to settle on decarb times for CBD and CBG and cannot get a definitive time and temp

If anyone has one please post your experience

 

I'm still wrestling with the idea of whether a decarb of CBD and CBG is even necessary
They may be more beneficial in their raw form

I went to the site and seems like it is a cross between the magical butter machine, levo and ardent

Not a fan of infusing in these devices
Use them for decarb only
The products they produce are fine but the taste is too off putting.....if that's a term

The DIY crowd is already tearing these devices down and modifying them or outright building their own devices so they should be coming down in price soon as people discover its a hot plate with better temperature sensors
I'm being a jerk but what I paid for the Ardent was ridiculous but necessary for odor containment
Their history of reliability is a bit questionable
A lot of the stories seemed like folks abused the device and then turned on Ardent
Trying to decarb a pound of weed in a day in a device that, at the time, maybe held 15-20 grams
The build was never meant to hold up to 16 hours of constant use
More like decarb 14 grams every couple of days

 

Wow, great price. Thanks for the heads up

EDIT: Wait, it looks like it only decarbs.. with a separate machine for infusion.

 

Decarboxylate.

Cannabis (THC) = 240 F for 40 minutes.
Hemp (CBD) = 250F for 50 minutes.

Seems to be the best compromise. If in doubt run longer. It really takes well over double the normal time before I see any real change in effects from degrading. I get busy and miss hearing the timer go off and think WTH. Just how long was that cooking?

Exactly what I did with the last batch of hemp
Mix of cbd and cbg rich flower and over decarbed it
Big thumbs down from folks as the chocolates didn't seem to offer any effect

It seems from an anecdotal standpoint that folks get more relief from the higher thc in some cultivars like thunder struck 10% thc/15% cbd
Hemp flower in the less than 1% thc range seemed less effective for sleep

It makes sense from some of the points in your thread that letting a regular decarb go a little longer gives a more sedate effect
It seems you can achieve some sort of ratio of thc/cbd that affords the pain relief and sleep without being over intoxicated for newbies or non users who are purely medical

 

Don't forget the roll terpenes play. And you can buy food grade terpenes now days to add to medibles. Lots of terpenes, and flavor in essential oils as well.

 

Which product is that? I went to the website and it shows 2 different machines (3 if you count the decarb box). One for infusion and one for decarbing.

EDIT: this is where i went - https://www.ecruherb.com/shop - am I looking at the wrong site?

 

ah okay, thanks, thought i was going crazy lol

 

A bit late, but I bought the ECRU 420. Worked great the first time. The 2nd time, error code after an unknown amount of time. Set it to 30 minutes and walked away. Came back 20 minutes away to an error message. By the smell (it's not odorless by any means, but does greatly reduce it), it wasn't near the end of the cycle when it quit. I'm in my month window, so I'll be returning it.

 

I just looked at the Ecru 420 on Amazon and couldn't believe how many machines, boxes, and what not there is available for decarb and infusion. I have an Ardent Nova.
