A hotknife is a heated dab tool that makes handling cannabis concentrates easier and cleaner. Unlike traditional dab tools, which often leave sticky residue behind, a hotknife attachment melts the wax so it drops smoothly into a banger or e-rig with no mess.

1. Attach the hotknife attachment to the 510-thread battery.

2. Turn on the battery by clicking the button five times.

3. Scoop your concentrate with the ceramic hotknife blade.

4. Heat the blade by holding the power button to let the wax melt off into your banger or e-rig.

Use the protective cap when not in use to keep the blade clean and safe.

The hotknife blade heats up almost instantly, usually in under 3 seconds. This allows for quick and efficient dabbing without long wait times.

The Dabstract Hotknife attachment uses a universal 510-thread connection, meaning it can be used with most standard 510-thread vape batteries. However, for the best performance, we recommend pairing it with the Dabstract 510 Vape Battery, which includes adjustable voltage settings and a pre-heat function optimized for hotknife use.

Yes! You can adjust the voltage settings on the Dabstract 510 Battery to control the heat level:

• Green (2.7V) – Lower heat for smooth melting, most terpene preservation

• Blue (3.1V) – Medium temperature, for good balance

• Red (3.7V) – Maximum heat for fast melting

While adjusting the voltage is recommended for vaping, it is recommended to operate the hotknife at the lowest temperature setting to preserve the product. A high temperature setting can degrade the concentrate too much before it reaches your vaporization device. 

To keep your hotknife attachment in top condition:

• Let the blade fully cool before cleaning.

• Use an alcohol wipe or a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to wipe away any residue.

• Avoid submerging the blade in liquid to prevent damage.

The Dabstract 510 Vape Battery is designed for long-lasting use. Battery life depends on voltage setting and usage frequency, but with moderate use, it can last a full day before needing a recharge.

he battery charges via USB-C, allowing for fast and efficient charging. 

Simply:

1. Plug the included USB-C charging cable into the battery.

2. Connect it to a USB power source.

3. The LED indicator will show the charging progress.

Yes, but always use caution! The hotknife blade gets extremely hot during operation. To use safely:

• Never touch the heated blade.

• Always use the protective aluminum lid when storing the hotknife.

• Allow the blade to cool fully before handling or cleaning.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

The Dabstract Hotknife attachment is specifically designed for handling cannabis concentrates and is not recommended for other materials.

A hotknife uses heat to melt concentrates cleanly off the blade, eliminating waste and mess. Traditional dab tools can leave a sticky residue behind, while a ceramic hotknife ensures precise and efficient transfers.

The hotknife heats up almost instantly after pressing the power button. You’ll see the concentrate begin to melt within a few seconds, signaling it’s ready for use.

No, the hotknife attachment requires a 510-thread battery with a button to function. It’s designed to work seamlessly with the included Dabstract 510 Vape Battery for optimal performance.

Since the hotknife attachment heats up quickly and is only activated when in use, its impact on battery life is minimal. However, frequent high-voltage use may require more frequent charging.
