Vivosun Herbal Decarboxylation & Infusion Machine (1.2L)

There are six: Butter (160°F, 2 hours), Oil (160°F, 1 hour), Tincture (160°F, 4 hours), No Heating, Decarboxylate (250°F, 1.5 hours), and Clean (5 minutes). Press Function to cycle through them, then press Start. Every preset except Clean can be adjusted with the Time, Temp, and +/− buttons.

Spread your herbs in a single layer on the bottom of the chamber. You can wrap them in kitchen foil or simply cover them. Select the Decarboxylate preset (250°F for 1.5 hours) and press Start. After the cycle, the machine runs a 15-minute cool-down and then displays "End."

The countdown begins only once the chamber reaches your target temperature. Until then, the display shows the current internal temperature as it climbs. To stop a program early, hold the ON/OFF button for more than 3 seconds.

The machine holds 0.6–1.2 L, and Vivosun's recipes are written for 2–5 cups of butter, oil, or alcohol. Always fill between the min and max lines, since under- or overfilling can affect operation. Use 14–28 g of decarboxylated botanicals per cup.

Vivosun recommends olive, grapeseed, sunflower, almond, or avocado oil, or refined coconut or MCT oil. Avoid canola, peanut, and vegetable oils. Add 1 tbsp of sunflower lecithin per cup of oil.

Yes. Use grain alcohol of at least 150 proof (75% ABV) with the Tincture preset, and don't add water or lecithin. Alcohol is highly flammable, so never operate the machine near an open flame, gas burner, or smoking, and always use it in a well-ventilated area. Vegetable glycerin works as a substitute but produces about one-third the potency.

Add water between the min and max lines, select the Clean preset, and press Start for a 5-minute wash cycle. Never submerge any part of the unit in water. Take care around the sharp blades when wiping the head unit.
