Dirk Hot Knife

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.
