Ardent Nova Decarboxylator- Herbal Activator + Extractor

Got my unit promptly. It works well, i've used it twice. I had to order the silicone infusion sleeve elsewhere but you can use a heat-safe glass jar. Im looking forward to another round this weekend. Seems like a solid unit, and very minimal smell unless very close to the device.

Great little device.

This is quite possibly the best product I own! It decarboxylate the flower so well with no spell in the house it's easy to clean its precise exact and works every time I could not recommend it any higher if you decarboxylate anyting you must have this product!

Works great

Still a bit pricey for what it is. But looking forward to seeing these in kitchens everywhere. If you think you want this, I promise it’s worth it. Just looking forward to it being a bit more affordable for most people. Been using mine for a year now without issue.

I got this so I wouldn't stink up my entire house like an oven would. It really is so easy to use and takes the guess work out of trying to regulate the temp in the oven. It takes around 2 hours for an ounce. The best part is, when it is done it's shuts off on it's own. It was easy to clean. My only recommendation is when the product is done, take it outside to open, because the product inside does have an aroma.

This machine goes above and beyond! It is so simple to use that even a first timer can make amazing butter or oil without error. I’ll never go back to the crockpot or stove methods for infusing oils! Will surely purchase again in the future!

Works great but do 1/2 oz at a time for consistent results.

Great product but pricey. Made some tincture the other night and tried it. Worked very well. I'm impressed with this little device. I have other tools that require more material but this is perfect for small batches. The price point is a bit steep.

Great product! Absolutely works as advertised! Just put your product in, press a button and walk away. No noise and barely, if any, smell. I got their infusion sleeve to infuse coconut oil for baking and am happy to say that it works just as perfectly and easily as the decarb process. The thing that I was sort of skeptical about were their claims that their decarb process was so much more efficient than ovens, so you could use less product when making your oils, butters, etc. and I’ve gotta say after 3 batches made with the Ardent that I’ve definitely noticed a difference. If you’ve got the cash to spend (because yeah, you could decarb in an oven, it seriously, this is better, lol ) and you were on the fence about getting this, than make the leap. Just a time, effort and money saver all around!

These two machines are very well made and a great idea. They do the job well, and I really do not have anything bad to say about their design, etc.I am selling them, though, because they don’t accomplish anything that I can’t do on my stovetop or in the oven as far as carboxylation, and the tinctures are too weak to get me high as I have been smoking since the sixties and am no lightweight. The carber is too small to do a whole oz at once so I break it up into two parts. The process of speeding up the infusion and tincture process is great, but I make brownies that are a gram each, so...Nice items, though. If you are young enough not to have built up a tolerance, they are really quite perfect.

Does the job!!! No mess. No fuss. Set it and forget it for about an hour and a half. Holds in the smell UNTIL you open the lid!!! Still way more discreet than baking in the oven. No longer can you smell it from my front porch.

I love it! Does what it says every time

Saves a lot of prep work for herbs to be prepared for jnfusion.

Great other than I thought it was larger. But decarbs perfectly and cools down. Perfect for smaller batches. Totally will blow your mind to decarboxylate and then smoke it. I know, most user for cooking. Turning the thca to thc is a huge difference in getting results. Watch the video. Great product for smaller consumers. Holds about 1/4 oz. Maybe a bit more.

Have used eight times, works great. Gets herb perfectly evenly brown throughout. I unplug at 45 minutes because I feel it may start to go past the “sweet spot” for maximum potency after that. Do your own research.

Excellent value and 'does what it says on the tin'.

This thing takes all the guess work out of decarbing. I hope it lasts forever lol

Works great...

I like it alot

Just as described. Fast shipping. Great product!

Works great

This is a wonderful product for when decarboxylation of marijuana is needed to use for edibles. Traditional methods of using the oven will stink your whole house up, this product releases no odor in the house. You can only slightly smell it when its on if you put your nose right over the unit, stand back from it when its on and no odor and thats with decarbing very potent, sticky dank plant material. Worth every penny!!!

This thing is awesome. The % of loss for the extraction process after using this vs using a traditional style 'oven' method is literally night and day. Love mine. HIGHLY (pun intended) Recommend!

does a great job even with buds but be careful to have same size and don't overfill

Best purchase ever!. Easy to use, and pays for itself in no time. Love it!

Easy to use and very effective

This is perfect for a decarb. This improved my product quality tremendously as noted by my third party lab testing shows

Does exactly what it says. Does it absolutely perfectly. Don’t overfill it for best effect.

No smell

Great product

Wish it was larger. Does a great job. Easy to use just push a button and come back later.

Worked like a charm to make brownies without the oven method. The smell was very faint / not weed like

Totally satisfied with this product no smell at ALL!!! I used olive oil with my flower awesome!

Great

Looks & performs as advertised.

Great for heating up oregano, or any other smelly type herbs in the pantry.

Truly wish was bigger... but very happy

Some people comment on the smell so I put it in the garage the first time. I put my nose on it several times and zero smell. Was using sealed Mason jars in the oven and my house smelled terrible!!! So easy to use!! I don't fill it very full...only about 1/3 full so heat circulates through equally. It comes out perfect!! Everything is evenly dried and uniform color. Love it. Worth the money. Can tell difference between quality of finished product vs, using a Mason jar in an oven. Very obvious!!!!

Just Awesome...nothing else to say

This thing is the bomb. Just drop in your product put lid on and push button. A little while later wo la your product is ready.

I rarely write reviews unless I'm completely disappointed or the opposite, blown away with new product I won't live without. I've used a vaporizer for years and was clearly mistaken about the effectiveness of a vaporizer in the decarboxylation process. I'll be totally honest, I looked at this gizmo several dozen times and thought it just seemed like an overpriced adult version of an easy bake oven. I was somewhat cocky in my belief it wasn't really needed but thought I'd like to see what I could make with edibles so I reluctantly purchased several weeks after first being introduced.I've not made edibles yet but it is still worth the purchase 10 times over even if never used for edibles... I feel like a fool! If you are buying herb and not using this decarboxylator, you are simply tossing money away. As someone that has appreciated vaping as a remedy to medication side effects, I have been on a fairly consistent rate of consumption to avoid those issues. Within a few days I had to drastically reduce the amount consumed.It WILL make a difference in potency. All I can say is if you don't take my word for it, purchase with the comfort of knowing returns are easy... It won't be returned! I am kicking myself and mentally estimating the amount of money I've wasted. This seriously is a game changer. Fact check the research and watch Shanel Lindsay's videos. Her knowledge and experience is outstanding. Many times I've wished she was my kitchen partner... I think she knows how to make everything and it all starts with such a simple process, decarboxylation with the Nova.

Love my Nova. Perfectly decarbs and infuses product with little to no smell, ease and convenience, no fear of burning. Turn it on and forget it. I bought the separate silicone infusion sleeve, but you can use a small glass jar instead. The Nova is perfect for personal user. If you want to make much larger quantities though, might want different product. Mine is perfect for what I need. Love it. Five stars!

Believe me, this product is worth it's weight in gold. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Push a button and walk away for about an hour and 45 and your done.

works in 2 hours, no oven. there is very minimal smell since the cover has an inner silicone seal that helps to keep the smell from coming out. load it, push button walk away, simple.

This thing is awesome get one.

Both items worked wonderfully! Thank you

I have had this a couple months and it is working great so far. I have ran around 10 batches through this and every one came out perfect. I have tried various fill amounts with no problem at all. I plan to try oils soon, but I have confidence they will work great going off other reviews.There is one thing to be aware of however. This thing SMELLS! This is not an issue for me as I have a dedicated space for it, but it will easily stink up a small home. Run a window fan or a fan with a charcoal filter nearby if you have concerns over smell.

With well over 30 uses from this device, I will tell you wholeheartedly that it's worth the money. Not only does it not have your house from smelling like an herb farm after use but most importantly the strength of whatever you plan on making with the decarb herb is amazingly better. The only thing that would make the device even better would to add some type of visual timer that shows exactly how long it would take to finish the decarb process. The time it takes to complete will be different Everytime based on density and weight, so this would feature would add a little piece of mind if that could be figured out. If your using this product to decarb and then infuse, I recommend an electric pressure cooker as well. With this combo you can go from raw herb to a potent snack in as little as 5 hours.

A light scent released but a world apart from conventional oven decarbing.

Works perfectly every time, I like to make edibles and this little unit preserves all of the goodness in the weed, you never lose any potency.

No more wasted botanicals. Nothing gets wasted. Still stinks, tho.

This rig works. Turns good weed into super weed. Makes cooking with weed simple and reliable. What was the big surprise is how much more potent weed gets when smoked after decarboxilation. Decarbing is now standard procedure for me. No need to grind the bud to decarb. The bud darkens a bit in color, looses the strong odor and the smoke does not have the distinctive smell of noncarbed. This could be advantageous in some situations.

It is so easy to use. Just like the old commercial says. Set it and forget about it! Dont forget it about it.... fast shipping.... easy to use and no setup required

Decarboxolates (is that spelled right?) buds at right temperature. Great little machine, highly recommended first step to making cannabutter.

I've been using the Nova for a while now and it absolutely has increased the potency and consistency in my edibles. Worth every penny.

I purchased the bundle of the decarber, the infuser, and the lecithin powder. I've used it to create infused coconut oil and infused ethanol and the results were highly effective. Works great!

Works beautifully! So simple to use. Arrived quickly and was packaged very well.

set it and forget it, works well...

I have been an oven decarb person... This little baby really took it up a notch!! Very little scent but I also put it next to my oil duffuser (eucalyptus masks everything). I think the key to a good decarb is to make sure the pieces are as even as possible. I did a rough chop of my large pieces to make them uniform. Excellent baked goods came out of this process. Im a believer!

Ok, this wonderful little machine has changed my life on a daily basis. After doing it's odor free and absolutely controlled heat magic, your flower is ready to consume, no further baking needed. Husband and I make nutella/peanut butter graham crackers with the measured out decarboxylated medicine crumbled on them. The flavors go amazing well together.I have found no need to bake them in the oven as called for in Firecracker recipes. Stop reading reviews and just do it. I'm a long time herbal enthusiast, back when I started , a one finger, nickle bag of smoke was really five dollars, whole lid for fifteen. Now I've discovered edibles. They truly work in such a way, I believe they will replace a vast amount of the synthetic drugs used today.Change your life//Buy this machine

Works exactly as it's supposed to. Worth the investment to not have to mess with an oven or toaster.

This was recommended to me by my doctor and it’s. Godsend. It can be used for smoking or edibles. Either way, you will be throughly impressed.

Quality built and the ease of use is great!!! May buy another one in the near future!!!

Excellent easy to use product. Does exactly what it promises. Very little (but some) smell during operation. I doubt the smell would be noticeable more than few feet away.

Works effortlessly. So much easier than the oven. Results as promised.

works excellently no smell

It is very simple to use and works perfectly

Do not hesitate if you're considering this product. From first use, I realized I've been doing it wrong all these years... This is perfect for its intended purpose

Works perfectly

Decarbonizes my weed perfectly every time.

Every thing fixed thanks danny

Works like a charm. Does exactly what it’s supposed to do while eliminating most if not all of the “oops” risk. Perfect form and execution!

Wow, when I read I may be losing over 30% of conversion due to my oven method I found that hard to believe. Although I knew I was not getting consistent results. One run through with the Nova and I know was losing a lot of constituents. I can actually use almost 30% less of the oil I make from it. So this will totally save me a lot of money over time. I use the Nova and the Levo oil extractor and I will never go back to the old methods of making my medicine. ** Update! Check out their website because you can make small batches of infused oil right in the Nova now (you need to place a small bottle with the oil in the machine first) It works too. I made the best infused pizza with the oil.

Product arrived quickly in new condition and works as advertised. It works great decarbing oil, shatter, or hashish to create spectacular edibles. I purchased the Magical Butter Machine at the same time so I know my product is always decarbed properly and worry free no watching and the same for when my butter is made. It also works great on your favourite bud but destroys the taste if you smoke it after. I would only use this product for my concentrates and edibles but it sure makes decarbing a worry free adventure. These machines aren't essential and can both be replaced by a little research and sitting at home in front of the oven watching through the window and worrying to hot/cold/long/short as I did for years. Now I press a button and my edible material is decarbed and ready. I press another button and my butter is ready. Life is sweet!

Very practical and easy to use.

Perfect machine

I love this, no smell and I can just turn it on and leave it alone, it gets the job done.

After a long quest for simple high potency edibles I found this device. As simple as decarb, grind and fill a gelcap with the material. Since it is properly decarbed you are able to get quite the kick out of what you can fit in a gelcap, trust me. Now you have amazing edibles with no unnecessary sugar or fat intake that are amazingly portable. Game changer for me.

Set it and forget it!

This lil baby is THE BOMB!!!!! Don't listen to anyone who says this gives off an odor.....it does give off a VERY FAINT odor of toasted nuts or something similiar!! I tried the old fashioned way via the oven 1st of course. It took HOURS and stunk up my WHOLE house! Not to mention that I had to watch it like a hawk to prevent any burning, scortching or other user error catastrophe. This magic machine is a NO BRAINER!! Add your 'herb', push 1 button and come back later to perfectly toasted Herb for ALL your botanical needs

Works as advertised. I use this bad boy at least once a week and is soooo much better than using a damn oven. Used a total of 4ish times. will update if anything changes.

This thing is awesome! Kinda pricy but well worth it. Just hit the button and walk away.

Just purchased this item, have used a couple of times, and so far so good. The finished product is exactly as described. Since this is new I, of course, can not speak to its longevity or durability. Will modify review as required.

This works exactly as stated with zero odor.

Alittle pricey but worth the money . Hold 1 oz. of herb and does exactly what advertisement says herb is perfect when done ! Very strongly recommend !!!

Well made. Packaged well.Super consistent decarb of herb.Using too create tincture bases, and lotions.Fantastic. You wont be disappointed!

This product has been great. I’ve used it twice so far. It has done everything it was purchased to do. It has been so easy to use. I don’t think there is much cleaning to it!! I highly endorse this product.

It's a chamber that holds 12 fluid ounces, which is approximately 1 ounce avoirdupois of weed. It automatically decarboxylates which means it heats the plant and then lets it cool somewhat in a very controlled way which I found quite tedious to do in my oven. You sit there watching a thermometer and every couple of minutes you have to open the oven door to cool it down, or maybe blast the heat higher because now the temperature is dropping fast, and you need to sit there doing this for a half hour to an hour. With the Ardent Decarboxylator, on the other hand, you put one ounce of weed into the machine and press a button and come back later. Yes, you can do a much bigger batch in the oven and maybe its almost as good or maybe it isn't, but an ounce is enough to make a nice pound of cannabutter with little effort.

Just fill it up and close the lid then push the button. Can’t get any simpler than that.
