1. What can you decarb in the unit?
You can decarb cannabis flower and concentrates, including kief, in your FX
2. How much can you decarb or infuse at a time?
Roughly four ounces of flower (or more!) depending on density, or 28 fluid ounces of oil.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that plant material should never be squished
or compressed down in the device - only fill to what fits naturally. Oil and other liquids
need to always be under the FILL line.
3. Will the cannabis decarb while I am infusing?
This was a very common question and so we tested, tested, tested. Our research has
shown that you should always decarb with an A1 or A2 cycle first, let the unit cool for at
least 20 minutes, and then mix the activated cannabis and oil material and run through an
infuse cycle. If you don’t decarb before you infuse, your oil will only be approx 20%-30%
activated. Decarbing and then infusing is the correct process.

4. What container can I decarb concentrates or infuse in?
You can decarb concentrates and infuse directly inside the stainless steel inner cavity of
the FX, or any heat safe container that fits comfortably.
5. How long do I infuse for?
Our research has shown that the infusion cycle needs at least 45 minutes to extract the
most out of THC or CBD. Ardent’s tests have shown that whether or not the infusion runs
for an hour or 2 hours, the infusion rates are nearly identical. This means that infusion
times can ultimately be left up to a consumer’s preference or the material requirements. If
running for less than the automatic cycle time, make sure to set a timer when you start
your infusion cycle to be sure when you should manually end the cycle.
As mentioned, No sleeve is necessary to infuse or decarb in your FX. Learn more about

6. How do I manually end a cycle?
Hold down the button until it turns green! Not turning green? Just unplug it.
7. Can I decarb outside or in my garage?
No - much like most kitchen appliances (and people :) your unit needs to be at room
temperature to work its best.
