i have an electric wok that gets lightning hot, and a high carbon steel wok that i use over burners.

i don't recommend using flat bottoms or use on electric / flat glass ranges. when you cook with a wok the idea is to use insane temperatures to blast whatever you're cooking and stir it up the side of the pan while adding the next item. so that's why flat bottom ones are kind of worthless, and why a cast iron wouldn't be a good replacement. my grill has a side burner i can use a wok on, and my range flips over to reveal a concave seat for woks. you can also get these seats for round bottoms, which is another reason why flat is undesirable
