Anvil Amp-up - for those throat-ripping hits

Reply in thread

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.

Where my Vapman Mans at?

Reply in thread

Er, I guess?? It's a convection device powered by butane (i.e. torch), so the physics are similar, I suppose. They are both good at small doses, too; but if possible the Vapman is even more analogue than the Vapcap: there is no click, and I've never successfully one-shotted a Vapman. It's more of a flavour-intense, sippin' style conduction vape, while the Dyna is more of a one-hitter. That might be my lack of technique talking, tho. I've nailed my various Vapcap combos, and with an FMJ I can truly get one-heat-cycle extraction; whereas the Vapman is a "heat... was that enough... couple seconds more... still a bit wispy... ah, there we go"

They're a great vape with an impeccable pedigree and a loyal following for good reason; imho criminally under-rated.

Check it out!

how it feels to be on Lemmy rn

Yo, let me know if you need help modding the general community as well as any others.

While it's all small it's not too onerous, and we can add more mods as necessary. Also not keen for PowerMods(tm) who have too much influence on heaps of communities, but also want to support and get this space up and running.
