Hot on the heels of its two recently-launched sub-brands — Yocan Black and Yocan Green — the famous Chinese vaporizer company has released yet another sub-marque that looks to expand the Shenzhen-based firm’s horizon: Yocan Red.
Just what exactly is Yocan Red and will it fit the bill for most smokers and vape users? Well, stick around to find out whether Yocan’s new label can help with your needs.
Yocan Red: a fiery kind
While Yocan Black focuses on practical luxury and Yocan Green appeases eco-friendly consumers, Yocan Red is Yocan’s sub-brand that looks after the needs of smokers and vaporizers alike. That’s because Yocan Red’s initial offerings are made up of affordable yet high-quality torch lighters that are suited for a variety of works — from lighting up joints to heating up bangers.
On that note, the main meat offered by Yocan Red are products best suited for those who enjoy consuming not only various strains of dry herbs but also for those who indulge in reaping the benefits of their select wax concentrates.
That said, Yocan Red is a celebration of going back to basics and embracing dry herb and wax concentrate consumption in raw form. Torch lighters can help set ablaze handheld bowls, water pipes, bangers, desktop wax rigs, and all the devices used in the past decade to smoke and vaporize the different catalysts of cannabinoids without the use of battery-powered vaporizers.
The torch lighters offered by Yocan Red are geared towards ease of use, longevity, durability, and uniqueness. So, you will find that the range of torch lighters under the sub-marque's umbrella can accommodate the needs of smokers and vapers from those who consume for recreational purposes and those who treat herbs and extracts as medicines.
But before we look into the products from Yocan Red, let’s first check out some of the features that set these torch lighters apart from the rest.
Yocan Red: Adjustable Flame Setting
One of the reasons why consumers should get a Yocan Red torch lighter is because products from Yocan’s newest sub-brand all come with an adjustable flame setting. Since the feature is standard across the board, buyers will no longer have to restrict themselves in selecting model to get due to its ability to offer an adjustable flame setting. Having said that, selecting the Yocan Red product they want wiull boi9l down to preference and the different quirks (which we will get to in a few) these torch lighters have to offer.
But why is precision flame control a big thing?
Well, for starters, a torch lighter that has the ability to control the heat it gives off can be used for multiple applications. Lighting up a cigar or even a cigarette, a lighter with low heat and short reach will do the trick. Maybe lighting up a bong? Smoking would be better with a torch lighter that has a decent amount of heat with a slight reach. How about getting those bangers ready? One best rely on a torch lighter that can spew out really hot flames from a good distance.
Now imagine buying different lighters for the aforementioned types of smoking and vaping sessions. Isn’t that going to be expensive? Now imagine having one posh and stylish torch lighter that can do all of those and more. Now that’s real savings.
Yocan Red had that exact same reasoning in mind when it created its products. Let’s talk about the Yocan Red Delta Torch for a second.
Yocan Red Delta Torch
The Yocan Red Delta Torch is one of the nine torch lighters offered by Yocan Red. It has many other unique features but like its other stablemates, the Yocan Red Delta Torch packs a technology that allows for customization of its flame output.
Near the back part of the Yocan Red Delta Torch’s pistol-style body is a sliding mechanism with a minus “-” and plus “+” icons. Now as you may imagine (since we’re basically talking about adjustable flame settings here), this sliding component controls the heat and reach of the Yocan Red Delta Torch’s actual flame.
Per Yocan, the Yocan Red Delta Torch can go as hot as 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit or 1,371 degrees Celsius. To put things into perspective, that much heat can melt iron alloys, most steel, and pot metals. So, owning a Yocan Red Delta Torch really allows its owners to enjoy many use case scenarios.
In addition, the flame of the Yocan Red Delta Torch can reach distances of up to 12 inches. So, it can be used to heat various items without putting oneself in harm’s way by really getting close to the actual item being heated.
Yocan Red: Refillable Butane Tank
Another advantage of getting a Yocan Red torch lighter is that the products sold under this line are equipped with refillable butane tanks. This means that Yocan Red torch lighters are reusable and not disposable.
This allows its users to make the most out of their purchase and not have a device that they will eventually throw away as soon as the fuel is spent.
Yocan was also considerate when it chose butane as the Yocan Red torch lighter’s source of fuel. Butane, as you can imagine is available in many places across the United States. You can pick one up at a gas station or even from the general store. Further, butane fuel is relatively cheap, so not only will you have little to no trouble sourcing your torch lighter fuel but buying butane will not cost you an arm and a leg.
Finally, the main benefit of using butane as a fuel compared to other dated and conventional lighters is that refilling the tank is fairly easy and straightforward. Simply get the butane canister and place the nozzle onto the refilling hole of the Yocan Red torch lighter you are using.
Checking the running fuel is also quick and painless as Yocan Red torch lighters such as the Yocan Red Diablo Torch have a dedicated window at the side of their pistol-style handles so you can monitor just how much butane is left in the tank. Doing so ensures that you are not left without fuel and a torch lighter that will not produce flames.
And now that we’ve mentioned the Yocan Red Diablo Torch…
Yocan Red Diablo Torch
The Yocan Red Diablo Torch is yet another unique torch lighter from Yocan Red. Aside from the aforementioned peek-through window to check how much butane is left in the tank. The Yocan Red Diablo Torch is equipped with a refilling valve that is usually found on the lower portion of the torch lighter, oftentimes on the underside of the pistol grip. It appears to be a small hole that can accommodate a butane tank nozzle.
According to Yocan, the Yocan Red Diablo Torch — as well as other torch lighters from the Yocan Red line — only accepts a long nozzle. Using the preferred nozzle length can ensure optimal butane reloading as it is the recommended setting by the manufacturer. Typically, one would have to flip over the torch lighter and press the long nozzle of the butane canister not the refilling valve.
Yocan pointed out that refilling the eight-gram tank of the Yocan Red Diablo Torch would take only just 10 seconds. During which, the nozzle will have to be pressed hard to the valve to avoid butane from spewing over. Keeping this in mind not only ensures that you get to conserve whatever butane you have in the canister but also to keep yourself safe should any fire hazard be nearby when refilling your Yocan Red Diablo Torch.
After the Yocan Red Diablo Torch has been reloaded, it is recommended to let the torch lighter rest for about two minutes. After the said timeframe, the Yocan Red Diablo Torch is now safe to use.
Yocan Red: Piezo Ignition
Another benefit offered by Yocan Red torch lighters is the use of Piezo ignition. This technology separates Yocan Red’s torch lighters apart from other lighters on the market today. For comparison’s sake, a traditional gas station lighter will have a spark wheel mechanism that creates a spark when one turns the mechanical wheel around. While some may say that it can get the job done, a spark wheel lighter can be inconsistent and may fail to create a light, especially when it gets wet.
In contrast, a lighter with Piezo ignition technology will deliver reliable results almost every time. The way Piezo ignition works is that a small mechanism uses a spring-loaded hammer that is made to hit an inorganic compound called lead zirconium titanate — commonly known as PZT. When the spring-loaded component hits the PZT, it creates a high voltage that also leaves an electrical discharge that will ignite when mixed with butane fuel.
Is Piezo ignition really that good?
Well, let’s just say that this technology is now used on almost all modern-day lighters because of its reliability and dependability. In addition, Piezo ignition is known to work faster that a common spark wheel lighter. Imagine trying to light up a bowl and not having the flame you need when you hit your lighter. Not only can it be annoying but it can be a deal breaker for lighter users who consume dry herbs and wax concentrates for medicinal purposes.
Adding to its reliability and being a fast source of flame, Piezo ignition systems are also considered a resilient technology. They will not break easily as they are engineered to withstand a good amount of beating. Think of torch lighters with Piezo ignition components as Casio watches powered by quartz technology. It may not be as intricate as an automatic Seiko or Audemars Piguet but it can deliver results every time you need it. It will also last longer as it has less complications.
So, if you want a dependable, reliable, and long-lasting torch lighter, then look no further. We’re here to tell you that the Yocan Red torch lighters are ones worth checking out.
And since we’re already talking of torch lighters worth looking at, we suggest taking a quick glance at the Yocan Red Beef Torch.
Yocan Red Beef Torch
The Yocan Red Beef Torch is equipped with Piezo ignition technology, making it a dependable torch lighter not only for recreational consumers but also for medical patients who use their favorite dry herb strains and wax concentrates to help manage and even cure their medical conditions.
The Piezo ignition technology used by the Yocan Red Beef Torch is hidden at the core of the torch lighter. According to Yocan Red, one can expect the Yocan Red Beef Torch lighter’s Piezo ignition system to last some 20,000 uses — and that’s a lot. For a lighter that always hits right on the money and never misses 20,000 times of clicking the ignition system means a lot of sessions enjoyed, whether you’re alone of partaking in a group activity.
Aside from having Piezo ignition, the Yocan Red Beef Torch also has some notable features, these include having a heat-resistant grip with genuine leather trim made from real animal hide. This gives the Yocan Red Beef Torch lighter a good look that as a classic vibe to it. Pretty much how the genuine leather feels, using the Yocan Red Beef Torch leaves a sense of security, which means that its owners can rely on it to produce flames when they need it to.
