What can you infuse in the activator?
Decarbed flower and concentrates, kief can be
decarbed in the activator.
Will the herb continue decarbing while I am
infusing?
Researches have shown that herbs should always
get decarbed before infusing. If you don’t decarb
before infuse, your oil will only be approximately
20% to 30% activated.
Why the herb feels different from the herb I
usually bake in the oven?
Decarb without an enclosed system might
cause uneven decarbing, increasing a charred
flavour. If you prefer the flavour you get used to,
simply set the timer longer to achieve the ideal
decarboxylated herb. Also, the flavour might
differ from stray or storage conditions. But with
the exact time and temp setting, you are always in
control of what your want to get!
Does the infuse process smell?
Our silicone cover comes with an air valve
design, the infuser is able to minimize the odour
compared to the regular stovetop infusing

method.
How many sticks of butter can you fit inside?
The maximum capacity of the canister is 4 sticks.
However, the material should be packed loose
with room on the top.
Can I vape the infused oil?
The Answer is NO. Vaping oils are made with
distillate, terpenes or live resin. Infused oils are not
recommended for vaping.
How much can you infuse at a time?
We would recommend 2 ounces of shake or 1
ounce of regular flower at a time.
Precision decarboxylation and infusion are
new to me. Should I use my whole batch at
once?
We would recommend some experiments with
small amounts before trying the whole batch
whether it be the new oil, or a new recipe.
