and need to get deeper vac than an oven allows to decarb at lower temps.

?!?
vacuum does NOT lower decarb temperature…

it might shorten decarb TIME, mainly by removing your residual solvent (possibly terps in the case of “THCA”) so that shit will actually heat up.

this has been discussed MANY times.

From this paper, my read is that the vacuum doesn’t substantially affect the decarb time. There are time/temp graphs about half way through. They look not dissimilar to ones from non-vacuum processes.

I’m not a chemist, but my understanding of decarboxylation is that we’re basically dumping enough energy into the material to beak the bond between the carboxyl and the cannabinoid. I think that means that the primary determinant will be the heat energy applied to the material, not the pressure of the environment.

they found decarb to be “first order” or “pseudo first order”, which the wizard would have us believe means le chatelier’s principle does NOT mean sucking makes it go faster.
