Best tool for applying concentrate? (lemmy.world)

I recently began using concentrates and I'm still exploring different types for the first time.

Recently I got some budder, but I've been having difficulty getting it into the ring. I have a metal tool (originally designed for tobacco, iirc) with three different tips, but it isn't cutting it for this. Although sugar clumps together well and is easy to drop into the ring, so far budder has not been cooperating. It sticks to the tool, it doesn't stick to the ring easily, and I usually end up having to use my fingers (then cleaning them with pumice scrub, because nothing else will get the stuff off.)

I figure there has to be a better solution. So what do you guys use to apply concentrates? Are there any particular tools you would recommend? Or are there tricks to this process that might not be obvious to a newbie? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

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!
