Yocan Draco is a battery-powered electric weed grinder. It’s a USB-C powered jar with a long rotating blade.
They sent me two Draco grinders in exchange for honest feedback and a review.
The Yocan Draco has proven to be one of the worst weed grinders I’ve ever tested.
It’s $35 directly from Yocan.

What is this thing?
Yocan built the Draco electric weed grinder to look and feel like a high-quality accessory. The blades are stainless steel, and the glass is Pyrex. The Draco grinder has a 650mAh battery that’s charged via USB-C.
The top features a magnetic connection with a safety mechanism to prevent the motor from activating when the lid is open.
Draco has a single button on its top. Five clicks turn the grinder on. Three clicks switch between high-speed and low-speed mode. Two clicks activate automatic grinding mode, where it continuously spins until you turn it off. Holding the button activates “on-demand mode”.
The 6-blade cutting head spins inside the jar. The jar doesn’t have any grinding apparatus – the weed spins around with the blades.
Too WEAK to Grind. It’s USELESS
I think this is more of a design flaw than a motor strength issue, but the motor also has very low torque.
This grinder doesn’t work for me AT ALL. If I drop in a large nugget, the motor stops. It doesn’t have enough power to cut through big nugs or even medium nugs.
To make the Draco spin with weed in it, I have to break up the nug into tiny chunks first, and even then, they fly around inside the jar like one of those crazy cash grab machines.
I mean this in the nicest way possible: This weed grinder was clearly designed, tested, and released by people who have never touched quality cannabis, let along a quality weed grinder. This is TEMU bad.
Yocan Draco Video Demo
I didn’t want to create a full review video of this, but it’s essential to demonstrate just how poor this weed grinder is.
Get a BETTER Grinder
I assure you, this is not the grinder you are looking for.
It looks neat, and $35 is affordable, but this grinder will end up in the dumpster. Save your money.
I’m not a huge fan of electric grinders, but if you need one due to mobility issues, the Wakkit is the one I recommend.

Yocan Reputation
Yocan has been making budget tier, low quality cannabis vaporizers and accessories since 2013.
Many of their wax pens and oil vapes have been popular over the years. Yocan can often be found in headshops and smokeshops where people often seek the cheapest vapes.
Yocan has been considered a throwaway brand for years, but recently the Yocan Black line of Yocan products has been getting a lot of attention for their higher quality devices.
Yocan Black Products are Better than Yocan
The new Yocan Black Pocket is touted as the Puffco Pivot killer. I’ll be reviewing the Pocket ASAP.
I recently reviewed the Yocan Black Heat Vision. It’s an IR dab thermometer built into an autospinner carb cap.
If Yocan Black launches a weed grinder, I will pick one up to review. Until then, other Yocan products are still avoidable.
