About Yocan Dirk Hot Knife
The Yocan Dirk Hot Knife is the latest dabbing tool from the Chinese vaporizer company Yocan. It promises to be a helpful companion to wax concentrate consumers and aims to help those who want to get the most out of their sessions.
If you need more convincing, here are a few more compelling features offered by the Yocan Dirk Hot Knife.
Decent Battery Capacity
The Yocan Dirk Hot Knife is outfitted with a small battery that has a capacity of 400 milliamperes (mAh). Despite the hot knife’s small size, it is able to pack a battery that can last it a long time. Since cutting wax concentrates with a heated tip does not take that much power from the battery, the Yocan Dirk Hot Knife will last anywhere from a week’s worth of use to nearly half a month — depending on how much you use the tool of course.
For frequent users, a single charge may last several days. This capacity is still good granted that you constantly cut wax concentrates when you fire up your vaporizer. Conversely, those who only dab on occasions may enjoy a longer battery life as they subject the Yocan Dirk Hot Knife to fewer sessions.
Packing the Yocan Dirk Hot Knife with a small 400 mAh battery is also good since using any larger than what is installed on the unit may cause some sort of imbalance and make the usage and carrying of the device more challenging. Holding the hot knife in your hands feels great. It is not top or down heavy and users will not feel strained or forced when using the tool to divide stubborn extracts.
To charge the Yocan Dirk Hot Knife’s battery, one must use a USB type-C charging cable. This technology is way better than the dated micro-USB as it ensures faster charging times and a more stable power delivery. This means that the battery is less susceptible to bloating, which is often caused by inconsistency in the power lines. Thus, it prolongs the longevity of the hot knife and ensures that you get to enjoy your tool for years to come.
Also, USB type-C ports are multi-directional and you will not damage the port as there is no right or wrong way to plug in the cable.
Variable Voltage Setting
One of the best features offered by the Yocan Dirk Hot Knife is its pre-set voltage levels, which allows owners to adjust the heat level produced by the heating element to activate the ceramic cutting tips, which we will get to in a few.
The Yocan Dirk Hot Knife has three voltage settings, which are 2.6 volts (V), 3.2 V, and 3.8 V. The lower temperature levels are ideal for cutting softer wax concentrates as the voltage level is enough to break down sticky extracts. Meanwhile, the middle temperature level is good for harder substances as the higher intensity of the heating element is good for melting hardened materials. Meanwhile, the highest temperature profile might be good for priming your concentrates. The heat produced at this setting is enough to nearly extract the active ingredients in the wax concentrates so you will not waste any time when you load them up in the wax chamber.
Ceramic Tips
Here is what others may consider the star of the show — the ceramic cutting tips.
As the name suggests, these heated cutting tips are made of ceramic. For those who do not know, ceramic is a material coveted in the vaping industry as it is known for its low and slow heating capabilities, which ensures that the wax concentrates it vaporizes do not reach the point of combustion, which is what happens when the materials get burned.
The Yocan Dirk Hot Knife comes with the K1 heating tip, which is the one with a rounded tip. Designed to be cross compatible with other Yocan products, it is also compatible with the K2 tip, which uses a sharper, pointed end. The former can be used to scoop up and lay down dollops of waxes while the latter is best used for chopping up sheets of hard wax.
Yocan designed the heated tips to connect easily to the battery by way of a magnetic connection. Instead of getting irritated by threaded connections, the heating tips seamlessly connect to the base of the Yocan Dirk Hot Knife. This ensures fast and straightforward operation since you will not waste a second when changing the tips to suit your dabbing requirements.
In addition, the Yocan Dirk Hot Knife also features an adjustable tip, which changes the angle of the ceramic heating tip to match the cutting or heating needs of its owner. According to Yocan, the tip can be turned every 90 degrees, which make it suitable for a wide variety of cutting styles.
A cover is included in the packaging to help protect the ceramic heating tips from damage when traveling. Additionally, the cover also keeps pocket lint, dirt, and other microorganisms to stick onto the ceramic cutting tip.
