No. You have to hold a straw in your month and suck them directly in. Your lungs act as a filter. Do not and I repeat, open a window. Fresh air reacts really badly

You are welcome, and thank you for watching!

preety price i got mind 12o dollars

It is quite good for carrying around. The weight is rather minimal considering it's not carbon fiber and it folds up to a manageable size. There are smaller travel tripods available, but any that I've had were too small for me to want to use full time, whereas this one can serve as both a travel tripod and and everyday tripod. If that makes sense. As for travel- for me, yes, I'm fine with it for travel. It fits in my carry-on luggage and, as previously implied, I'm not super keen on the REALLY small travel tripods, but I don't want to say anything disparaging about them. I just prefer a beefier tripod and I don't usually pack a great deal of items in my bag, so I'm not super concerned about bag space. It is about as girthy as a loaf of bread, if that helps you.

Like yoga blocks? It may, but it would likely cut very slowly and would probably require the thin wire. Personally, I would choose a different tool for that job. Winons makes a higher powered hot knife that might work, but I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure.

I hope you contacted them about it. Then again, the extra wire is really difficult to see; it's just a very small couple of wraps and is very thin wire. I didn't see mine until I knocked my box over and it fell to the floor. I'm unsure what type of wire is used for this, but I don't think it would be difficult to figure out and considering how thin it is, would probably be rather inexpensive. But don't take my word for it.

Order a roll of 32 gauge Nichrome (high heat resistant ) off amazon for around 8 bucks What ever you do don’t go to lowes and get the galvanized wires in the picture hanging section trust me it won’t work save yourself the headache lol galvanized wire won’t heat up and you’ll hear the power supply chirping 🦗

I'm glad it worked out for you! Sounds like you're doing some art projects, so I hope you're steady craftin' and that this tool continues to come in handy for you!

I believe you and would love to see it if you decided to do it!

@@thegentlemanscalawag2273 I've ever made one back when I'm sitting at Elementary School, it made a hole on my pants backpocket because l put it in my pants pocket and decided to sit on it

Good point. Either of these are quite nice for day hikes and picnics, but I assume most dedicated weight weenies would probably already have something lighter that the like better.

You are very welcome!

And thank you for watching. Glad I could provide any help.

Great, thank you very much for saying that! This is the entire reason I do these reviews- to help people make informed purchases. I hope the tombstones you're making come out great!

I can't tell you either way if it will work on the particular foam you're utilizing, but what I can tell you is my experience- The highest density foam I have cut has been the foam floor tiles that are commonly used in garages and children's play areas. You know, the ones that link together like a puzzle. Mine are 3/8 " thick. I was able to cut it and it as easiest with the wire rather than the probe stye tips, but was very slow going. If you don't mind going slowly and need a clean cut, this works pretty well since it doesn't get so hot that it melts the foam beyond the cut, but requires patience and isn't what I would choose for a large job. I hope this helps.

@@thegentlemanscalawag2273 thanks for sharing your experience !!!

@@alexherrera3918 No problem, Alex. Thanks for your inquiry. If you use one of these on your project I'd be interested in hearing how it worked for you.

@@thegentlemanscalawag2273 , i do small foam planes and planning to build bigger onces. I decided to use a cutter with more watts (24watts), with a variables power supply . I will share what i find. tks

@@alexherrera3918 dude, that sounds fun! I used to love foam planes when I was a kid. Had a bunch of little ones and had one with a 4' wingspan that I broke the the same day I got it, but the hour I spent flying it was a ton of fun! Had I stopped when the wind picked up like I should have, perhaps it wouldn't have met it's demise. I think the variable power supply is a good idea. Versatility is valuable. If you happen to post any videos of you making your planes lmk and I'll gladly watch.

I don't currently have any dense foam on hand to try it on, unfortunately. At least, I don't think I do. I'll take a look around and see if I can scrounge anything up and try to remember to get back to you. Since I didn't realize it wasn't designed to do all of the things I wanted it to such as cutting paracord, I'm thinking about grabbing their other hot knife as well which is much higher temp. If that's the case, I'll do another video review of the other knife along with a comparison video of the two.

​@@thegentlemanscalawag2273 оk thanks. I will wait for a new review

​@@MrTaron-yh5tm I found a yoga mat/sleep pad type of thing and a piece of foam garage floor panels and the wire was the only tool that would cut, and even that was very slow. I would say this is for foam that isn't so dense, and Winons makes a higher temp hot knive that would be better for the more dense foam.

@@thegentlemanscalawag2273 If you do a new review I will wait. In any case, Thanks for the creeping information and for the review.
