There's that product called HerbsNow which i've seen people online using and they're still using them so they must like them. It looks exactly like a food dehydrator however the temperature must go way lower because I own a food dehydrator and it only goes down to like 35°c which would cook the bud. no? It claims to dry bud in 96 hours.
Also, anecdotal but i've heard a couple of people mention they switched off Boveda to Integra Boost because bud smell was being affected. Just sayin.
never heard of the integra. had to look it up. looks like the same tech, wonder what could be different for smells? i've used the boveda for years and haven't really noticed lacking smell. maybe i'll give them a try and see if there is a difference

the stuff inside the Integra is a lot thicker. It's like a gel compared to Boveda's liquid. I've never tried both to compare when it comes to taste and aroma being affected. Just something to keep in mind
Dehydrating is just the process of removing water from your food. Removing moisture quickly enough to prevent spoilage and discourage future pathogen growth is typically the final desired outcome of the process. This can be done as simply as hanging the food in the air and allowing evaporation to naturally occur, but there are many factors that can contribute to your success or failure.

Boveda even admits that their product reduces the smell of your herb until you grind it up. They refer to it as a patented "terpene shield that coats your trichomes in a monolayer of purified water to protect and save the terps."
It used to be much more prominent on their website but now you have to do a little digging to find them talk about it....
If you have land and a junk car just stick them in the trunk of that junk car. They will cure and dry all by themselves.
Otherwise you have to do the old fashioned drying methods and curing methods. The best way is what the tobacco farmers do. There is no quick way to dry and cure.
