I have to say, I don't often hit the Anvil native with the stock stem, but if you need a throat-tickle like you used to get in the combustion days, look no further...

Well I tried a few different vapes in the past but at that point I didn't really give them a fair shake - they were just a novel way to smoke and weren't satisfying.
Now that I "get it" I'm anxious to try some others, but I'm very restricted on budget, and Im wary of more complicated devices as that usually just means it is likely to fail or have shit that needs a lot of maintenance/upkeep, etc.
I've tried a Volcano, a PAX, and a Crafty+ in the past, but it was a single sesh for each of them.
So the Volcano, and Crafty+ can certainly get the job done for the average ent. Especially compared to a device like a Vapcap.
Sometimes it's actually good to cycle through devices once or twice a year to avoid building up too much of a "tolerance" to the device (where it's use becomes habitual - load sizes, frequency, draw frequency, hold patterns, temperatures, etc all become habitual). Switching up devices helps reset your own tolerances.
Butane devices certainly give a great bang for the buck. The Lotus vaporizer was one of my favorite butane powered devices which uses heated convection airflow instead of conduction heating like the vapcap and anvil. Problem with the Lotus was that it is VERY finicky about torch control - gotta keep torch moving in circle or figure-8 to avoid overheating one section and combusting (it was one vape I NEVER shared with friends). The Lotus actually went out of business a few years ago but they were acquired by Vapman and recently came back on the market.
But there are certainly plenty of devices on the market these days, not like ten years ago when there was less than a dozen options in total for high end herbal vaporizers haha.
If budget is restricted the Anvil is probably not the vape you are looking for! That is one of the probably valid criticisms that can be levelled at it, and at Dyna too for that matter.
I have never tried a Volcano or Crafty, but I have a Mighty, and the OG Pax was actually my first vape. I would reach for the Dyna/Anvil over both 90% of the time, fwiw.
