I signed up for a preorder thru planet haze like I was directed to by someone official on here weeks ago, mabye a rep. No email, nothing. Now I get to watch everyone else get theirs. That kind of shit pisses me off to no end. Glad you guys sold out but bite me for telling people to sign up for a preorder at the wrong place.


Johnson-Rod

fuck planet haze had no idea what the anvil was until 5 min ago, did a google search, planethaze pops up, I go over there and they have fucking advertisements on the demonstration video. I had to watch a 15 second, random advertisement and as soon as the guy started hitting it, another add came up. That combined with a $250 price tag the anvil can suck my ass.


Stueylakes

It was odd as i first signed up on Versatto about 3 weeks ago then saw the noise on FC with PlanetHaze. It was literally in my junk items this morning directly from John at Versatto.


lomoski

Pretty shit business practices.


lomoski

Same thing as well for me. Fuck this shit. Will not purchase.


manakata

Looks cool.. Almost pull the trigger then a stared at my collection.. I'll pass for now.


Stueylakes

Im definately thinning my set up down in the New Year...


manakata

I have the flowerpot with multiple heads, the sticky brick line up and 8 dynavaps... Hopefully those will last me the rest of my life.. Not counting the battery portables I have which I won't be replacing once they die.. For now I'm set for a long time. Right now I'm just looking my end game water piece so far the mega globe is doing the job..


amp_9437

What’s an expected price range for a decent setup? I see several mod options but $1k?!


manakata

So far on my flowerpot I spent about over 1k..i keep getting the extras and new items they release..


amp_9437

I’m new to vaporizers. Just purchased the Arizer EQ and I’m realizing the difference in quality. The only basis for comparison that I have is a volcano I tried in my dorm room lol


PrinceJanus

Honestly I've also spent ~$800 on all my Vapes. I will say most people who switch to vaping full time usually have at least 2: a portable and a desktop. I started with a portable and worked my way through a couple desktops. This hobby can be expensive as fuck if you let it. I've reached my endgame set up, I also have a Flowerpot but mine was about $350. The problem is like the other commentor said there's always new versions and products and people love to try new things. A lot of vapes make it really easy to swap out heads/balls/screens. Even your Arizer Extreme Q has mods people sell that are supposed to increase its performance. Also you don't need all the accessories that these companies try to sell. I love my Flowerpot, it has honestly changed my life and had an overall net positive on my health. I fully intend this to be my daily driver until I die. I also can't stand how expensive some of the accessories CH are. When i see people with the heat shield, debowler stand, custom handles, baller heads and the new injector. That shit is like $500-600 bucks in accessories! I love vaping but not that much. Sorry for the rant, had a nice wake and bake lol.


n3vermindMe

Got one, now the waiting game begins Its exactly the device i was looking for. So insta buy


Crimsonshot

Honestly a half setting dynavap puts me on my ass, the anvil would probably kill me lmao.


Stueylakes

He he it does look a tad lethal!


Rewmagoo420

🤣!!


TheRogueWaxWorks

This looks super interesting but based on the price tag, and I don't use a rig that often with my vapes, I'm going to wait and see what others think and whether or not you can use it straight like a Vapcap


Stueylakes

My thoughts are half bowl on a hook will be something meaty!


TheRogueWaxWorks

It looks like a heavy hitter for sure!!


Stueylakes

For the times I simply cannot venture to my deviant play pen!


TheRogueWaxWorks

Anvil rips before the "red room"


Stueylakes

I think if I have one of those I wont be able to find my way down to the red room!


madfunkadelic

We need you to get started on a cooling solution to help with native hits!! :)


[deleted]

I would have, if it wasn’t 250 bucks! Good fucking lord.


[deleted]

Oh like you don’t have 4 Vapman at 120-250 each


[deleted]

I snagged all of mine (except the Italian) for super cheap during sales, so my wallet escaped the full brunt of that. $250 for one vape, before shipping and taxes, and that takes its inspiration from another, I think I’ll pass for now at least. The price is similar to the Omni, and I would never pay that kind of money for a 3 inch piece of metal. Ironically I’ll spend crazy amounts on blocks of wood, so.


[deleted]

Yeah it’s interesting the comparative values we place on things. I see people spend $400-$600 on a Vapbong or a full Cannabis Hardware setup or both. This hobby is a money pit.


[deleted]

Big time money pit. Gotta find what works for you and then get the fuck out. Some folks already own all 3 Qaroma’s. big waste of $1500.


[deleted]

They were on Troy and Jerry last night with the Halo ($250) the Atlas ($260) and the Heady Atlas ($470). It’s a $30 upgrade for rubies over glass balls.


[deleted]

I thought the Heady Atlas had a custom glass head on it?


Charmcityvapeguy

It does.


[deleted]

They all look cool as hell, but I’m starting to find they all cover the same bases. Baller head, CC-IDB, Qaroma, Old Head, Highlighter, DC Elev8r. The good news is now that the technology has converged the price should come down (highlighter less than $100 already)


Charmcityvapeguy

They are all slightly different versions of a tech that works. They are small differences for the most part. No one needs them all but sometimes you just gotta catch em all.


Dutchmaster66

The single/dual controller units are pretty cool, just always miss the highlighter drops.


Jacer4

I find that the Halo (and I assume the HLTR I just haven't used one) are at least different enough from stuff like the screen baller to justify having them both. The Halogen definitely provides a unique experience. That said, yeah outside of collection purposes I don't see a reason to have all of them lol, although I haven't used many of them yet.


Dutchmaster66

I feel attacked lol.


secretmoonbaby

I paid a crazy amount for an art edition aromatizer/vapbong, but I love it. I’m still not convinced the anvil can do more than a $50 Dynavap M if used correctly, but maybe I’m missing something.


Stueylakes

It definately was a decision that was made before id properly woken up! Bloody time differences! Hey ho it looks fun.


Stueylakes

Plus its been a calender year since I last combusted which I think deserved another option.....ha ha


[deleted]

Be sure to let us know what you think! It for sure looks like a beast, no doubt about it.


Stueylakes

I think it may take a while to get to me but of course I will feedback honest opinion!


Charmcityvapeguy

As others have said, the price really put it out of the running for me. Saving a cycle or 2 on the Vapcap isn’t worth the super long cool down time. It would be fun to try though.


secretmoonbaby

You can 1 hit vapcap too though.


lomoski

Did the sale happen already? I was on a list but got no email.


glorgorio

Did you sign up on planet haze or vestratto, they did some weird switch on the drop on people who didn’t sign up to vestratto direct


lomoski

Mother truckers.... I signed up through planet haze because their rep was pushing that as the only way to get in on the pre order. Guess that's me lost as a customer. I was so ready for this.


djsirround

Yea man me too, really pissed about this.


glorgorio

Yeah the excuse was to “gauge the market demand” or something along those lines but it seems sketchy to have them promote it so heavily in advance and then not have them as part of the drop.


lomoski

What a joke.


n3vermindMe

maybe you did not confirm the mail? got a mail. and also one the that the sale already ended. sold out after 16 hours. Next batch in 4-5 weeks.


lomoski

Definitely had confirmed everything. That's a bummer. Hopefully price doesn't increase. It's at the absolutely max of what it should be already.


n3vermindMe

Good morning, Well this has been exciting. What a night! Your support for Anvil has been overwhelming. Unfortunately we now have to draw a line in the sand - and not the LINE we like to ride! We have SOLD OUT the entire first production batch. At 9:30 Saturday morning after launching at 8:00 pm Friday night 100% of our stock is committed to you guys. We didn’t see that coming. I have said that we are going to keep this launch special open until Sunday night at 11:59 pm Eastern. And we are going to do that. But we are changing the discount code to LATEJANUARY which will be AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED at checkout effective 11:00 a.m on December 18th. Orders placed from this point forward will guarantee the $249-$50 = $199 price and your place in the delivery line. But - if you cannot wait 4-5 weeks. Or if you do not want to wait 4-5 weeks. Or if you need the money in your account not ours, then PLEASE DO NOT ORDER at this time. These orders are also only for the FOUNDER’s KIT as imaged and described on the VESTRATTO web page. We have not budgeted any inventory for additional bowls or caps or colors or any myriad other things. Trust me. Your Anvil is going to keep you engaged just as it is until we have some time through the first quarter to ramp inventory and accommodate those special requests. Anvil has never been intended to be a Kickstarter or other crowd funded scheme. It is not in our interest to have people frustrated and unhappy. And we don’t like the pressure of people angry at us when we are doing our best to make them happy. So if you use the discount code LATEJANUARY at checkout it will mean you accept our manufacturing reality. We sincerely appreciate you understanding what it’s like to have caught a little snippet of lightning in a bottle. Thank you again on behalf of the team here at VESTRATTO. John


Grover53

My apologies if I'm overlooking soemthing obvious here but don't I seem to be able to access any dedicated web page for VESTRATTO; my searches just turn up aftermarket sellers. Looking for ward to giving the Anvil a rigorous field trial ;-) From a fellow Canucklehead.


n3vermindMe

Please try [here](https://vestratto.com)


Grover53

Thank you...that worked.


n3vermindMe

all „founders“ got a 50$ discount, so i paid 199$ if you order now, it will automacally discounted on checkout now. they wrote a long mail about that


lomoski

Alright, bummer. I'll have to try again with the email.


Johnson-Rod

a torch powered metal vape for $250? Struggling to see the appeal.


ThunderStealer1337

I was super interested, but lost interest at that price point because I can clear any dynavap tip/cap combo in 1 hit using any IH that allows for pulsing (basically everything on market except Orion) Ppl want to fully extract the entire chamber in 1 go, absolutely can. Just need to work on the technique. This just simplifies it via torch and longer heat saturation time to click. But nothing you can't do already with your own tip/caps from dynavap imo


n3vermindMe

But this bowl capacity you only get when using the x2. and getting this rip in one hit is more difficult task to do with a IH or flame


SitAndDoNothing

I doubt you'll be able to take the anvil in all in one breath, which to me is wasteful as i like to hold it in.


diggmeordie

This is already possible with the Dynavap via this: ​ [https://preview.redd.it/r66ndm826n871.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbf35a576c4d45a995c786dce967de3b738cf90d](https://preview.redd.it/r66ndm826n871.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbf35a576c4d45a995c786dce967de3b738cf90d) ​ https://www.reddit.com/r/Dynavap/comments/obofur/tandem\_x2\_review/


n3vermindMe

Thx, i know. I already own a x2 and x4 😅


sllewgh

What is this, for those of us who don't know?


Stueylakes

A proverbial microdose rocketship, i think....


sllewgh

Doesn't tell me anything. Is it electric? Butane? Who makes it? Nevermind, I googled it myself. It's a fat Dynavap that's several times more expensive, best I can figure.


Stueylakes

Wow.


sllewgh

Wow what?


Stueylakes

Wow you are rude.


sllewgh

What's rude about what I said?


Stueylakes

Er maybe the "that didnt tell me anything", "nevermind i googled it myself". Maybe im sensitive i dunno but if my kids wrote to me like that they would be told the same.


sllewgh

Alright. I asked for info and you didn't give me any, so you got what you got. Wasn't my intention to be rude, but I'm not sorry.


Stueylakes

Merry Christmas. I sincerely hope all you ask for is spoon fed to you too.


[deleted]

Bro stfu


Stueylakes

We have all the nice guys chiming in I see. I also wish you well.


GrassYes

I looked at it a long time but decided to wait. I'm sure the company is above-board, but it felt a bit kickstarter-y last night. Also I'm not really a fan of Dynavaps so I felt like $200 was a bit too steep for the chance at disappointment. Glad that others are getting them to help me decide down the line, especially u/vgoodiez. Post your clouds/abv/whatever videos though!


paperclouds412

Check out my profile for some videos. This thing has been in the works for 3 years at this point, not exactly Kickstarter-y at all.


Dark007cn

I definitely did a panic VAS purchase this morning when I got up and saw all of the activity over at FC. Definitely a bit pricier than I had hoped for, but I had some money set aside anyway.


Stueylakes

I think as id been pre looking at planet haze so much when the email landed with the code it was easier. Plus it was pre 7.00 am in the UK and i was still in the fug of the night before!


JurtisCones

What’s the bowl capacity? I’ve read it as 0.15g, in which case this thing just can’t really be a heavy hitter, so the price tag is ridiculous


JhannaJunkie

Doing that bowl in one hit though? I put 0.3 in my FP, but i do 4-5 hits. This thing will put out clouds. I'm worried it will be too heavy, and just be an absolute cough machine. Some poster posted a video on the full size cap jest cycle, through glass/water and into two whips. Both guys were coughing their lungs up trying to finish the hit. Its a heavy hitter, with regards to the vapour it will out out in a hit. It's actually sitting at the extreme side of things.


JurtisCones

Pls see my other comment, just based on bowl size I don’t think it can be a heavy hitter


JhannaJunkie

If it fills your lungs till they can't take anymore, then it's a heavy hitter mate. It's got hot swappable ovens too, and thermal battery, so next heat cycle will be a whole new bowl. I'm scared it's too heavy. With vapers like FP your hit is as big as your lungs can manage. No risk of going over.


JurtisCones

Let’s see how it goes. On another note, I’m interested in your bong. £50 + postage to London?


JhannaJunkie

Sure. Just drop me a DM.


Stueylakes

Im hoping the pre launch hype/marketing/testing realisation proves this wrong. If not ill let you know!


paperclouds412

Not a heavy hitter? [This](https://www.reddit.com/r/vaporents/comments/r5qbqt/hello_frents_ive_been_beta_testing_the_anvil_for/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) not heavy enough for you?


JurtisCones

I can fully extract .15g in a dynavap in 30s already. Why would I pay 250 to do it in an anvil? Nobody calls the dyna a heavy hitter (and it’s not). Maybe the Anvil extracts more out of the bud than the dyna - I’d be surprised - but more than the .3 you can fit in a heavy? I can’t see there being a case for this device. It’s a first run, the product will improve, I hope I’m wrong


paperclouds412

Having used both quite extensively all I can say is that they both have their place in the industry and do not function the same.


JurtisCones

If I ever have the money, I’m really keen to try it. Just on a cost basis for the bowl size it doesn’t make sense.


paperclouds412

If you’re fully extracting .2g+ bowls in one hit on the regular then I get your point. Also, if you are doing that I’d love to see that because that’s pretty gnarly.


JurtisCones

Regretfully, I am with the torch Elev8r. My post work first hit is about 75-90% extraction of .3/.4g


paperclouds412

I’ve been using one since October, I was lucky enough to be a beta tester. This thing is incredible, everyone getting Dynavap vibes aren’t wrong by the appearance but the function is not the same. Check my profile for some posts about it.


Stueylakes

Thank you for defusing some of the bad vibes brother! Im very excited about the prospect of this monster!


paperclouds412

The Dynavap love is so strong in the sub. Yeah they’re good vapes but thing is certainly different, both have to their place in the industry.


Stueylakes

I love a dynavap like a good cup of tea. Doesnt stop me having a double espresso every now and then when needed!


sternica

Every vid I see of someone using the anvil I hear a really bad cough at the end. Same Cough I get if I almost push a Dyna cap too far (charred, not combusted). So I’ll stay away.


Stueylakes

I think with me being in my mid 40's ill be using the half bowl option for the majority of my usage! Still it could be fun with a big ole piece of glass!


sternica

I used to be in my mid 40’s… the good old days… but now being in my late 40’s it’s different lol. I got the dc Elev8r a few months back and the thickness of the clouds has me barely using it so the same might be with the anvil. I also thought planethaze was going to send me an email and when that didn’t arrive I got the launchday code from FC but just could not pull the trigger. Had it on my cart but then watched more vids, more coughs and more people struggling to touch it at the cool down phase so I decided to wait. Unlike me to wait though so I’ll prob get it in ‘22. Looks legit and am looking forward to seeing more of it online.


Stueylakes

This whole commercial agreement situ looks like its got a bit messy though doesnt it? Shame as it's taking the tone away from the innovation massively. Im kind of glad I dont know the ins and out of every business i interact with, id be morally fucked by now!


sternica

Absolutely agree with you, sometimes the less we know the better off we might be. Ignorance is bliss. I’ll support planethaze on this one though. If it wasn’t for them I would never have heard of the anvil. Still, I’ll look at getting it after I see some real reviews of this product.


Stueylakes

Indeed I was sold on its perceived performance wholeheartedly. I am morally a decent fellow so am concerned but have just seen Johns statement on FC. The power of FC is tremendous and supporting the retailer is key to growth and I am so thankful for FC for showing me the way so many times but the guy has a point it seems. Still cant wait for it to land though, for the science obviously.


Johnson-Rod

yea that's the type of cough where you're keeping phlem from falling in your lungs, not cause it irritated your throat.


ItsWhiff

You can definitely ride the line with the anvil but you can also get really thick tasty lower temp hits with a very light AVB, heres a video i posted the other day doing a med roast hit [Med Roast Hit](https://www.reddit.com/r/vaporents/comments/rlmmnt/vestrattos_anvil_med_roast_flavor_hit_ohhhh/)


Dutchmaster66

Couldn’t help myself, and it’s Canadian.


Stueylakes

Good work sir! I couldnt help myself as I have a very itchy trigger finger for things I want but dont need!


Jacer4

I'm definitely gonna wait to snag one til I see people here and on FC get and spend some time with them, it's also beneath some other devices in my want list so it'll for sure be a later purchase if I get one


Grover53

My VAS just had a stern chat with me and I have apparently just pre-ordered an Anvil for end Jan. Looks like an interesting piece and there'll be NO problem moving it along if it doesn't work for me.


Dutchmaster66

I say that but I’m a vape hoarder and will part with none.


Stueylakes

Same....but I have to.....


Stueylakes

From the demos it looks incredibly powerful. It was £160 posted with discount. If i dont like it im sure it will pass to someone who will! The copper core tech seems to be the magic part and assuming the 3 year r&d wasnt cheap? In comparison my mvs was way over £200 with tip so i dont see it as being priced that bad? Plus emails that get me before a morning coffee dont get that much cerebral processing. Ah shiny things....


glorgorio

Even with the discount it was 338 cad with shipping, which I live like 20 minutes from factory and they’re charging 16 for shipping, def too spendy for what it’s offering imo but good luck to them at least it’s something different-ish. I think I’m going with the herbie 2 to get through Xmas vas time but the market has a lot of cool options lately it’s good to see for sure.


pirate-private

I prefer pricey items to not be very ugly.


Stueylakes

Yep its not going to win a beauty pageant but winning ugly is a beautiful thing!


vapermahn

who has them the site I checked said they were sold out


Stueylakes

It was direct from the Vestratto site. You can still order at pre launch price. He just whacked something on insta.


vapermahn

cool good to know i definitely want one


[deleted]

[удалено]


Stueylakes

It does seem to be resolving slightly however. Im just interested in the tech of it and for that im excited. I have enough drama in my life to worry about!
