Sooo I made this thread to sum up all kind of heaters and burners available chinese or japanese to have an overview or reference thread for anyone looking for a new heater (I didnt include subitisms, these are easier to get from some vendors or selfmade).

1. KODUTO: Kohgen Shoyeido Grandawood Japan incense
PROS: Portable/battery (good for travel), cheap, heating part is replacable if it breaks, adjustable temp.
CONS: Prices vary (Japan obviously cheaper) (more than double the price at Grandawood), Turns off after 3min, has a plastic smell, you need round micas

2. Nippon Kodo SIZURO: Kohgen Nippon Kodo
PROS: Portable, mid-price range, chargeable
CONS: adjust temperature in 5 steps(no precise control), nowhere to buy (sold out), needs round mica plates, temp. range 190-250c
can be used for hour and half, 30minX 3 times (safety off kick in once it reach 30min of continues use)

3. KODACHI: Shoyeido Japanese website
PROS: Portable, temp. control
CONS: Needs power supply

4. HIINA/Hi-ina: Shoyeido Grandawood Kohgen
PROS: Portable, cheapest?
CONS: Needs coal, no temp. control

5. Kangiiten × YouYuan Heater: Kangiiten
PROS: Ceramic surface, Kit includes shin kyara, good temp. control, amazing price especially because you can order some sandalwood or other shin kyara colors from the same website for small money and you have all at one place.
CONS: Not portable/handy, Not for travel
Aliexpress heater: similar design for less money

6. Kangiiten Portable Heater: Kangiiten
PROS: Portable (good for travel or car), cheap, incl. some shin kyara, chargeable with usb
CONS: Bad temp. control, no accessories (tweezer, metal tray etc.)

7. YuLanXiang Magnolia heater: Aliexpress short version Aliexpress long version

8. QiJiaXin heater: Aliexpress
PROS: Portable/handy, excellent temp. control, no mica neede

Depends really, i try to use every method. Kioka, ceramic, sub, coal. But the kioka is very easy to use, can take it anywhere(same for other ceramic burners)+ i cut the round mica plates for the kioka myself, so i put some thin ones on it and then it acts like a sub. So i get the best of both!

Anyone that wants the Kioka with all of this then go here https://www.tezumi.com/products/yamadamatsu-kioka-electric-incense-heater:
  • 1-2 - large pieces of Byakudan (sandalwood)
  • 4-5 - pieces of Jinkō (aloeswood)
  • 6 - small squares of takimono pressed incense
  • 3 - circular mica plates
  • 1 - tweezers
  • 1 - Travel Bag (not pictured)
  • 1 - AC Adapter (not pictured
They also sell Yamadamatsu aloeswood chips 0.8grams which is 16-24 chips (small chips, but perfect for slicing around 3 of the chips into slivers and putting on the Kioka with a mica) for just £17.17 GBP: https://www.tezumi.com/collections/incense-and-lifestyle/products/yamadamatsu-aloeswood-chips

Also anyone that wants a decent Yamadamatsu sandalwood bracelet here you go : https://www.tezumi.com/collections/incense-and-lifestyle/products/yamadamatsu-sandalwood-bracelet

I was having editing issues lol. I had meant to say the YouYuan that you were referring to earlier is for kodo cupping only. This is the one I use. It's too small for dumping large pieces of wood into it and also doesn't get hot enough to do that either. It's smaller than it looks.

can only speak for last two listed.
I would chose the Aluminum one because it have better led screen, heat up faster, charge faster, use USB Type-C for charging, wider temperature range, better battery and its cheaper.
The Qijiaxin is pretty good but i wish it would heat up as fast as the other one Lol also it comes with bag the aluminum one doesn't.

However if you speak for Chinese they would mostly recommend you the Youyuan or the Qijiaxin.

Just placed an order for one of those YouYuan heaters from Aliexpress. Will post my impressions when it gets here in a few weeks! Interested in how it compares with a traditional Kodo cup.

Ease of use, and using with shavings as well as small pieces of wood at different temp. CK as well as regular agarwood.

Thanks to those of you who I reached out to for help on this decision!

I really like it - Gets the job done. I like how precise the heating element is and how you can use it like a Kodo cup. Works really well for kyara and for higher quality agarwood pieces

It doesn’t work for fumigation really though. If you want to fumigate you probably need a subitism or hotplate. Something that gets hotter.

Personally I burn incense sticks for fumigation and use the ceramic for Kodo-style sessions.

My PayPal didn't go through so I bought the Yamadamatsu Kioko.

My Kynam heater died. It was # 9 (Aluminum) which is disappointing as I got it just over a year ago.
Anyways, would the YouYuan still be one of the better ones? Are there any new Japanese heaters worth checking out? At the moment I am leaning towards the YouYuan, it just seems quite pricey.

That's a real bummer. There are some different models coming out, mainly available on AliExpress. Some are cheaper. I dunno though. I'd still go with the YouYuan though I think. I'll find some links for you.

Good temps for powdered agarwood (soil woods mainly) and slivers/powder of sandalwood and tiny chips of Shin-Kyara for a ZhengLong (Golden Lotus)?
