Anvil vs Vices Joystik

The biggest practical difference is heating approach: Anvil runs hybrid while Vices Joystik runs convection (torch or induction heated ball matrix). That changes flavor delivery, vapor density, and how the device responds to slow versus fast draws.

Vices Joystik is the cheaper option at $110 compared with $200 for the Anvil, about $90 less. Live retailer pricing can shift, so confirm before buying.

Vices Joystik reaches session-ready temperature in 15-20 seconds with a torch, while the Anvil takes Depending on the heat source, ~30 seconds. That's roughly 13 seconds quicker on the Vices Joystik, which is useful if you want shorter, on-demand sessions.

Anvil uses hybrid heating, while the Vices Joystik uses convection (torch or induction heated ball matrix). Heating style influences flavor profile, vapor density, and how forgiving the device is to draw technique.

Vices Joystik has the larger chamber at Up to 0.25g, versus ~0.07 - 0.13g on the Anvil. A bigger bowl means fewer reloads on long sessions; a smaller one suits microdosing and quicker bowls.

Anvil is the better fit for microdosing in our database, typically thanks to a smaller chamber, finer temperature control, or both.
