“Absolutely love this machine, saves me hours of time decarbing my full extract cannabis oil, and I know it’s done right. No babysitting literally set it and forget it.”
-Maria A.
★★★★★
“I Love my Ardent!!! It is wonderful to be able to decarb without any smell! I do go outside to open it once cooled, but it is great if you have close neighbors or a spouse/roommate that doesn’t like the smell. Small, easy to clean, the perfect kitchen aid for anyone making edibles. I think the end product is much stronger so I use less when making cookies. Great investment.”
-Janet S.
★★★★★
“I love my NOVA. It allows me to control what’s going into my infusions with MUCH more accuracy and efficiency than I was getting from previous old-school decarb methods. And last but not least, amazing customer support!”
