Expats from Reddit's largest community focusing on cannabis flower vaporizers.

  1. Be chill, this is a cannabis forum after all.
  2. Post links, pics, vids talking about where your fav vape/bong/glass/pipe was from.
  3. Don’t sell anything consumable on here. No sales of herb, extract, carts, pens, edibles, drinks, tintcures, anything that’s a consumable product.
  4. DEVICES and ACCESSORIES like a Mighty, Tinymight, some custom glass for a Carta or PuffCo Peak, 510 Mods, log vapes, DIY/One off vapes/pipes/bags/stems/dab tools/Etsy type shit that Etsy bans. That stuff is fine. AT YOUR OWN RISK. And that needs it’s own channel/community(communities) if people are interested in an exchange.
  5. Provide citations/sources for posts/comments where needed.
  6. Openly discuss safety of equipment/devices and cannabis products.
  7. Be mindful of what you post on here. The point is to have the whole server indexed by Google and other search providers and keep the space alive/history documented/growing in the future. (AKA Share Knowledge / Share the vibes. / Don’t get me arrested plz. )

I have to say, I don't often hit the Anvil native with the stock stem, but if you need a throat-tickle like you used to get in the combustion days, look no further...

Good question! It actually has a much more distinct click, and 'they' say this vape is all about riding the line (RTL, for those unfamiliar with the phrase, means "riding the line" between vaping and combustion, so a full spectrum big hit is the goal. Not for temp steppers!); which the clicks facilitate.

It uses convection, mostly; the actual chamber is kinda suspended in the oven - you heat the oven, then inhalation draws hot air through the chamber, vaopourising the material.

It has some detractors, largely (as often seems to be the case in vaping world) based on the maker, Vestratto, which I won't rehash here, but in that respect is remarkably similar to recent drama surroudnding Dynavap and Simrell, for instance. So there are parallels that extend beyond the form factor/tech!

I think it's not too controversial to say that most of those who hate it don't have one and wouldn't get one, while those who have one tend to love it and discount the drama.

I love it! i actually use it most on a Simrell MVS, I find it smoother than the stock stem.

Lol Gotcha. Yeah so that tells me they have the clicker set to a higher trigger temp than the Vapcap caps.

For butane convection, I still prefer the Lotus vaporizer. You wanna talk about RTL - when you're good enough with the torch you can actually watch vapor production increase exponentially until you flashover to combustion. One of my party tricks was vaping with a j-hook (with a pinch of water) and having friends guess if I had combusted or not. I never did, but I could get that sucker pitch black (without any ash).

Yeah I seem to recall a bit of drama around Dynavap/Simrell, etc. I try to stay out of all that b2b drama and keep my nose down. Yes companies like Pax and others have copied my designs, but what am I going to do about it? Huff and puff? Nah, I'm simply making something new and better to attract people's attention.

Yeah, iirc the clicker is in the top of the chamber, not in the oven, and there's a lot of thermal mass in the copper core overn, so by the time you get that click it's had a fair bit of time to heat-soak.

For reference, using my single flame torch it typically takes around 45 seconds or so to get to the first click on the Anvil, versus 20-something for my Dynas.
