Vices Joystik vs XVape Napalm Detonator

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