My friend got something called a knife last summer. It heats up so you can cut the big rocks, or use it to slide the concentrate into the rig easily. I just saw Yocan has one that came out a month or 2 ago called the Dirk which I am thinking about getting. I have the Yocan Cubex for over a year and it's basically all I use now.
Here's a link to the knife: https://www.yocanvaporizer.com/products/yocan-dirk-hot-knife?variant=44624417587389
I went ahead and tried a couple suggestions from this thread. Last time I went to a head shop I asked about hot knives based on your suggestion. I ended up getting this one from Puffco (the price in the store was lower than that on the website, but it's the same product.)
A hot knife was a fantastic recommendation! It's simple to use, charges in no time, and is ridiculously easy to keep clean. This is exactly the solution I was looking for. Thank you so much!
Shatter was always my favorite before I switched to live resin carts. It doesn't stick to anything until it melts so you can break it up and just chuck shards into your bong using your hands if you wanted.
Skilletools has a good selection of dabblers with tips designed for various textures.
With budders I use something with a dagger tip and wipe the product on the side of the cup.
Try to grab a dab tool kit. It usually has 3 different shaped tools.
The best all-rounder imo which I used to serve on a dab bar is the spoon shaped ones. Next is a shovel head one.
Runny concentrate is usually a lot more workable when it's cold. Have you tried putting it in a freezer for a bit?
I went and tried a couple things from this thread, so I wanted to provide some follow-up in case anybody's curious.
Freezing concentrate worked great! The texture of a gooey budder became much more like workable sugar. It also became much easier to dose and I noticed no difference in performance (it heated up just as well and provided the same hit.) Thank you for the suggestion!
Glad it worked out for you!
For hash I prefer to use a dynavap with the concentrate sandwiched in either herb or japanese cotton. The metal tip the herb and concentrate is housed in is heated electrically by the wand induction heater.
