What should I get? DTV Mini HDT, Drop or Saber?
the mini hdt or if you miss a sale or need another one get the little tips separately on amazon and as many cheap stick pens you want.
I was thinking DD Drop since its $25
See who's got cheaper shipping between them and HCH. I think the dr dabber knife is just a stylized stick pen so you should be able to take the tips off for replacement on either but triple check to get the most for your money. I am confident the dtv buddy has a removable tip but I am not sure for the mini or the drop knife. I know for sure the puffco one is not gonna let you use your own tips
I just picked the crossing up in a bundle with a core 2.1, carry case, glob mops, 4mm pearls for like 120$ shipped. Black Friday deal that happened early last week. The knife works great but never used one before so no reference to the other brands. Can't image the experience is that much different....
Been using the ooze brand tip on a yocan kodo for maybe 2 years. Became a daily driver a couple months ago when I got my pocket. Absolutely love it. Never used another kind so I have no idea how it compares. Or how any of them could possibly be that different.
Went ahead & got one from Ooze & I'll put it on my xray kodo or caligo reakt.
I'll probably pick up the Saber, Drop, Bear Trio 2 or DTV HDT
Not a bad idea. I was looking at Chinese/Amazon tips but ooze are cheap enough
I haven't had one for a little while but I had ooze first them the DT HDT. The HDT was way more robust than the ooze, but that was whenever the HDT first dropped. Two years ago? I got a ton of use out of the HDT but the ooze let me down a bit. For the price I paid to was probably fine but the HDT was better quality
Well if the Ooze tip on a batt sucks ill get a Saber, a DD Drop or Bear Quartz Trio 2
If DTV restocks the black Mini HDT I'll get it
Definitely. Ill keep an eye out for your feedback as I've been considering a new one as well. I used to press a fair amount of rosin but I haven't in a while so some of the live resins and stuff I'm dabbing don't make as much of a difference.
I like the 510 threaded hot knive attachments, they're more affordable and you can toggle the heat

Are you purposely not considering the Puffco one? It's $37.50. I've never tried a heated dab tool, so I don't have an opinion, but it seemed strange to exclude this one.
Puffco hot knife
It is the worst one, most hot knife users say the Ooze tips are just as good or better.
Yeah I've heard multiple people say the puffco one sucks
They have major design flaws that makes breakage inevitable
$75
Because im not a fan of Puffco. I saw that $38 Sale.
Id rather get the Bear Quartz Trio v2, Dr Dabber Drop or DTV Mini HDT
My only experience is with the puffco hot kinifes. Always work great for me.
This is where personally, I draw the line. Never have had the need for a hot knife while dabbing.
Hot knives help out a lot when using e-rigs.
Or twaxing
Fair but certain devices it works really well to drop in. One of those things that seems pointless as normal dab tools work but it's quite nice and much much cleaner
Right?!
Check out the bear quartz trio 2. I've used the Focus V Saber and the Puffco Hot Knife.
The trio 2 is my preferred hands down.
Trio 2 is what I use
I may check that out. One of the things I like about the Saber is the light. I didn’t think I’d use it at first but it’s key for loading erigs in the dark.
I just commented id get that > puffco
I have the Puffco and the Dr. Dabber Drop, but am thinking of getting the Saber. The Puffco is very flimsy and cheap feeling compared to the Drop, and the cap doesn't fit well on the end. The Drop's cap is magnetized, which works somewhat better.
I went through 3 puffcos, loved the concept and form.factor, but just to fragile
The drop from Dr dabber almost seems designed from those learnings. Had one since launch and 0 issues
Can't recommend it enough
I'm less familiar with some of the others, but my best advice is look closely at how the blade attaches to the body.
Saber
Drop
Dr Dabber Drop
Focus v saber is my favorite I love everything about it.
Another option not listed is the Yocan black jaws hot knife with thermometer.
I saw that but id rather get something on sale.
Is the Saber on sale?
Yeah for $30 instead of $40
Dr Dabber all the way💪💪💪
Saber all the way
Anything but the puffco. Stopped working after about 1 month.
Definitely not lmao
