Infusion Cycle
This entire cycle will run for close to three hours (that much time is not needed for infusion
but some people like a longer infusion time, and there are other uses for this cycle that can
benefit from the longer time period). This cycle peaks at 176 degrees F (or 80 degrees C).
Important Note: Ardent’s tests have shown that whether the infusion runs for a one hour or
a 2 hour cycle, the potency is the same. This means that infusion times can ultimately be
left up to a consumer’s preference or the material requirements but should be a minimum of
45 minutes and a maximum of one complete cycle.
As owners of the original Nova may know, the THC activation cycle can also be used as an
infusion cycle, especially when infusing concentrates or kief, which only need to be heated
and mixed for infusion since there is no straining. When it comes to concentrates and kief,
it is more about allowing the concentrate and oil to blend well. This higher temperature
cycle is perfect for making sure the concentrates melt appropriately into the oil and can still
be run for as little as 30 minutes.
The FX’s Infusion setting is perfect for lower temperature infusion materials. Test out some
different infusion materials and times and let us know your preference!
