What are other signs that your concentrate is done decarbing?

Gets you high when you eat it?

Looks different via TLC. Eg:THCa/THC TLC during decarboxylation

Might even stop responding to bromocresol green.

Tricks of the trade

Easiest decarb test ever… Dissolve a small sample in EtOH, dab on a TLC plate with a capillary tube and allow to fully dry (careful using a heat gun-you may decarb your sample!) apply bromocresol green ( I use a soaked q-tip in a rolling fashion) Yellow? keep going. Blue? Yer good to go! I used to run a TLC plate in a chamber with Ethyl acetate and Heptane …but why bother! [TLC] [Bromo]

@Oiterally

im assuming thats gonna help get the air out

Not “air”. CO2….and many of your terpenes if you’re not performing this trick under pressure.

@cyclopath

Air is a terrible heat transfer medium…

> It is striking to see that water is 23.5 times more efficient in transferring heat than air. Further, given a specific volume of water flow over a hot component (the volumetric flow rate), water has a heat carrying capacity nearly 3,500 times that of air.
