What skis are they/do the have sintered bases? If yes, then the more you wax, the stronger and faster your bases will be. The less you wax, the slower and weaker your bases will be.

If they have extruded bases, then hot waxing will be a waste of your time. Just use a daily, rub-on applicator. Only lasts a run or 2 though.

every 2 weeks if your skiing consistently I’d say but there’s no such thing as waxing too often if you wanted to go crazy with it.

although if you don’t really care just keep a block of wax and buff pad in your pocket and it you need speed or are sticking just pop your skis off and go to town.

Where do you look to find out what base material your skis use? Tried to google “blackops 118 base material” and nothing pops up in any product descriptions I read

Looked and I can't find anything on them. Normally you would just look in the product description on the manufactures website.
