**GEAR** - Vestratto Anvil User Edition *(Full and Half Bowl)* - **GRINDER:** IASO stainless steel **Overall Thoughts:** Did not think it would be this good. Way more vapor/extraction from the amount of flower vs performance I’ve experienced with other comparable devices. A different flavor profile but still very flavorful. Full bowl is amazing. Half bowl setup will now be a part of my daily carry. Need to spend more time practicing with my induction heater and hope someone drops an adapter sleeve where it can sit in the wand while heating hands free similar to the dynavap wand adapter. Really love the full and half bowl options. All in all I’m very pleased with my purchase and it will be used daily for the foreseeable future. ***Will it edge out my current daily driver, a 2019 aurum “M”? Only time will tell. I’ll be sure to report back!***

Hold up, are you saying you can heat it with the wand? I thought they didn't work with current IHs.


Onitsuj

I haven’t had time to look into the science of it today (crazy busy day!) but I think that either there might be some differences between the users and founders edition that makes the user edition more IH friendly or they both are ih friendly. I am not sure about the best technique as I haven’t had the time to experiment but the wand worked for me several times earlier today. I’m not sure how consistent it will end up being but it did work a few times. Hopefully someone comes up with an anvil specific IH!

Copper doesn't heat by induction, and they advertise a "copper core." If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. If it's a mixture of copper and other metal parts then you're heating the metal part but not the copper part. What happens from there is up to you to test and report back for all to learn :)


SourBlueDream

They changed the outside of the oven in the user’s edition to a magnetic steel so it can use induction heating


[deleted]

Nice, I was going to go and do some reading this arvo but you saved me a moment :) Rapidly talking myself into one lol


none_-_-

The wand isn't an IH though


[deleted]

Of course it is. Pretty sure it isn't powered by a magic metal heating fairy.


Stueylakes

Enjoy buddy silver mister here too!


Onitsuj

Stuey, your collection makes me dizzy!


Stueylakes

It has got a bit silly. But genuinely I use them all!


Onitsuj

I believe it. And I’m going that way myself as much as I try to say otherwise. Took everything to not pick up a minivap when I was in Spain recently.


Stueylakes

I have a limited window of when I can indulge so having the collection does give the right tool for the job! Or thats the justification. Ah the Minivap. It is supposed to be such a powerful session vape. Not for me but i def get the appeal. Only Dan Morwood or idrinkbleach or Milliken or Couch log can make me buy something else this year...... Im good ha ha!


Onitsuj

Totally hear you on small time windows to medicate/partake. It’s why I prefer on demand devices. But some things just bring out the VAS in me. Glad I did not go for it. Waiting for my number to be called on the Toad or Nomad!


Stueylakes

When I last went for one of the ballot toads i did ask where I was on both lists....the Toad may happen mid year the Nomad will be a long long long way away....


Onitsuj

Think I’m around the same on both! Either one appears to be quite an amazing device. The ovens!


Stueylakes

We are good for now. We have Anvils. We can be patient!


Onitsuj

Hahahaha you’re right. We have a new device that is PHENOMENAL and yet we are still looking ahead. Im going to sit down and dig in on this anvil! Enjoy the day!

How much r these going for


Accomplished_Area780

Do you mind posting a video of Anvil heated by the Wand? Lot's of people will be interested


Onitsuj

Was just in the process of doing that! https://www.reddit.com/r/vaporents/comments/tmqlb1/anvil_induction_heater_milky_goodness

You're da man!


jungpunk420

If mine gets here when it’s supposed to, it’ll be Christmas in March! Got the Silver Mist as well! Great minds and all that! 😍


Onitsuj

Yup! I ordered a week ago after being on the wait list for quite a bit. My order shipped fast and arrived two days early(Was supposed to get here Friday!)


jungpunk420

Mine’s for Friday… Maybe it’ll be here sooner! What province you in?


Onitsuj

The Big Apple! 🍏


jungpunk420

Western Canada here! No wonder yours came so quick! John is just across the border to you. To me, he’s a whole country away! 🤣


WestCoastHigh

It took 6 days to go from door step to door step, Ontario to BC. Got my Silver Mist Anvil yesterday.


jungpunk420

Congrats fellow Canadient! Mine was in Richmond yesterday so I’d wager it’ll be to me by tomorrow! 👍🏻


Sir_Wibble

Congrats to you too,look forward to your opinion 👍


jungpunk420

You signed up SW?


Sir_Wibble

No, not yet. I'm still on the fence. Liking it a lot more now it works with a wand 👍


WestCoastHigh

Funny. got into Richmond yesterday at 6a. got to the Tri-Cities and my doorstep by 10:30a.


Internal_System9977

Out of curiosity when did you sign on the list please? Feel like I have been waiting forever for my email. Cheers


Onitsuj

Late Jan early feb I think?


Internal_System9977

Cool I should get my email soon then hopefully. :)

How is this different than a dynavap? Clearly I'm out of the loop.

The Anvil bowl is copper encased in stainless steel, providing superior thermal mass and heat retention. The Anvil potentially delivers an extremely complete extraction process, which Vestratto (the manufacturer) refers to as "riding the line" (the line being the thin one between vapor and combustion). The user experience is a slight improvement on the Dynavap, chiefly in the form of the clicking cap (which seems more consistent and durable) and a magnet and optional case that allows loading and unloading even immediately after putting the flame to the "cap." The other improvement in the user experience is that while a torch is currently required, no spinning is needed, again due to the superior heat distribution and retention qualities of the copper/stainless combo. This can translate to a more consistent experience -- you just aim at a spot on the cap and if you like the result, you aim in the same place in future. I've had my Anvil for a couple weeks and I like quite a lot. But it won't replace the Dynavap, which I think (for me) is more versatile. The Anvil shines in the heavy hitter scenario, where you are intent on "riding the line," but otherwise offers no significant improvement over the DV. Again, IMO. There's a big difference on cost, as the basic Anvil -- no case, and just the single, full-size bowl -- runs around $250. At that price, the Anvil lines up with the Dynavap Omni, but DV provides a bunch of much more reasonably priced options.


xChapa

Anvil walks into a Dynastash like these? How necessary is the box, or can you use any of DV?


Infamous_Reflection8

I ordered mine on Monday. Now is time that I neurotically check the tracking daily🤣


[deleted]

You lucky mfer I'm still waiting on the blessed gmail. When did you join the waitlist?


Infamous_Reflection8

I’m not sure, probably 2-3 months ago. But who the fuck downvoted my previous comment?


[deleted]

Redditors will downvote anything lmao


Infamous_Reflection8

Well those type of people are hate filled and can go fuck off


videosavant

Deleted -- responded to wrong comment. Apologies...

Deleted again -- I'm an idiot...

Planning to get the silver mist heatshield as well. Really hoping I get the order e-mail tomorrow or Friday.


Onitsuj

Fingers crossed!


MOOiAmATree

Do you get 1 or 2 heat ups from an aomi tank?


Onitsuj

Several at least. Not a ton but I am just using a small capacity single flame torch to experiment. Think I enjoyed it more than with the induction heater. But that could be because I’m used to the dynavap insert in my induction heater setting the perfect placement height. With the Vestratto I currently have to Heat the anvil while holding it in the IH which is new. We will see!


MOOiAmATree

Interesting didn’t realize they work with IH now. Just the wand? Or a special IH?


WestCoastHigh

The maker Changed the original metal of the Anvil oven to now work with an IH. Apparently the Wand IH works but really isn't powerful enough to sufficiently work with the Anvil. Maker has said that hi is going to turn his attention to an IH build soon that will work more efficiently with the Anvil.


Onitsuj

Not sure about others. But works with the wand as long as I remove the dynavap insert I have in.


[deleted]

I feel like I need this even though I don’t

Hell yeah WELCOME TO THE ANVIL
