From some more reading, a wok probably isn’t worth using with a standard induction cooktop. Might be better off getting a carbon steel pan and accepting that it won’t be the same.
If you’re having to buy crap anyway, they make wok + burner combos that are either induction or gas.
No matter what you can use a normal thin walled, uncoated aluminum or stainless (or carbon steel if you can find it) to figure out if you even like stir frying and it suits your life.
I already have a stainless steel pan so that’s what I’ll be experimenting with for now. The wok-burner combos are cool but definitely not worth it for me. Right now my money is better spent on more vegetables to cook than on hardware.
