There are many ways to smoke dry herbs and concentrates. Traditional methods involve using a butane torch, but this can introduce harmful chemicals into your smoke, as the flame can release toxins and impurities from the fuel, not to mention those fumes can also irritate your eyes and cause damage to the lung tissue if inhaled. Butane torches also burn at extremely high temperatures, which can lead to harsh hits and a loss of flavor from your cannabis products. A better alternative is to use a laser smoking device. These smoking devices utilize precise laser beams to ignite your material, resulting in cleaner and smoother vapors, while also making your smoking device far easier to clean. For a laser smoking device that can deliver smooth, flavorful hits and is easy to use, the Hitoki Trident V3 is an outstanding choice.
The Hitoki Trident V3 is a next-generation laser combustion smoking device that features a 445nm precision laser for igniting your dry herbs and concentrates, along with a ceramic loading chamber, a magnetic glass water base, and built-in water filtration, delivering clean, smooth, and flavorful draws, plus a kink-resistant silicone hookah hose or a bong-style hose. It also integrates a simple one-button interface that offers three laser-powered heat levels, and a high-capacity battery that offers around 280 sessions on a full charge, while supporting USB-C charging and pass-through charging.
Designed for both home and outdoor use, this laser combustion smoking device completely eliminates the need for butane torches, bringing you a smoother and more potent session from your favorite herbs or concentrates with no chemical aftertaste.
Here’s our review of the Hitoki Trident V3, where we explain how this laser combustion smoking device is designed to work and talk more about all its unique features.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with its size, this laser combustion smoking device has a sleek form factor, meaning it doesn’t take up too much space to set it up in your desk or living room table. Its compact body also makes it ideal for everyday use at home and while traveling.
The Hitoki Trident V3 also sports a gorgeous aesthetic, combining an all-Black cylindrical body with a central glass cover around its heating chamber and a glass base that add a touch of elegance to its appearance.
Furthermore, the device also packs a premium, highly durable construction, as its body is built of aircraft-grade anodized aluminum.
We’ll now go over the device’s main components. For its heating element, the Hitoki Trident V3 comes equipped with a 445nm precision laser that’s powered by advanced laser technology ignition, which the device utilizes to ignite your dry herbs, concentrates, and mixtures. The device’s laser is fully enclosed and only activates during sessions.
Thanks to this clean heating method, the Trident eliminates the need for butane while preserving the full flavor of your botanicals, ensuring a pure and potent session without chemicals.
Its precision laser also offers a wider burn radius in comparison to its predecessor (the V2), which helps improve airflow and consistency, giving you cleaner hits and greater control every session.
In addition, the device also features a small ceramic bowl integrated above its heating element into which you can load your flower or concentrates.
When using the device to smoke concentrates, it’s recommend that you layer your concentrate on top of some ground material instead of placing it directly into the chamber to ensure a high-quality vapor with crisp flavor.
The device also comes together with a poker tool for loading its ceramic bowl with more precision and cleaning it when necessary.
Integrated at its base, there’s a magnetic glass water base with built-in water filtration, which cools down the vapor during the device’s heating process and also helps filter out impurities from it, ensuring truly clean and smooth draws that are rich in flavor.
Since its glass water base is magnetic, this also makes it easy to remove and refill whenever it’s low on water.
For its mouthpiece, you can go with either a flexible, 34-inch silicone hookah hose that has been upgraded from the previous model for extra durability, or alternatively, a bong-style air hose, both of which are built to be kink-resistant.
INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL
For controlling its heating process, this laser combustion smoking device features a one-button interface that offers you a simple, straightforward operation.
Integrated at the top of the device, we have its power button, through which you can cycle between its three laser-powered heat levels, ranging between Low, Medium and High, enabling you to tailor each session to the type of material you’re looking to smoke.
Its Low heat level is ideal for cured, dry herbs and for conserving battery life, while its Medium heat level provides a more balanced heat for denser or fresher botanicals. Its High heat level is best suited for infusion flower with concentrates or for getting more powerful sessions from your cannabis products.
The device’s power button will light up with a different light color for each heating level, with Low being represented by a Red light, Medium by a Green light, and High by a Blue light.
USAGE TIPS
To use the Hitoki Trident V3, just load up its ceramic chamber, then lock in the base, press its ignition button at the top, and enjoy a clean, flavorful, water filtered session.
There’s also a carb button at the side of the unit that allows the user to clear the device’s bowl a few different times as its laser ignites the material while inhaling.
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
For its power, this laser combustion smoking device comes equipped with a high-capacity battery that offers users between 280 to 300 sessions on a full charge.
When its battery is running low on power, you can recharge it by simply connecting the included USB-C charging cable to the device’s USB-C charging port.
Best of all, the Trident V3 also supports pass-through charging, meaning you can even use it while it’s plugged in. This not only allows for longer sessions but also prevents its battery from getting completely depleted during a session.
MAINTENANCE
As for cleaning the device’s components, start by disassembling the unit.
Once all its components are separated, rinse the water base with warm water and isopropyl alcohol.
After that, gently wipe the laser lens with a Q-tip and a dab of isopropyl every few sessions.
You should also remember to clear ash from the ceramic chamber regularly.
