Cian Hayes had given the visitors an early lead in the fifth minute when he curled home a fine effort off the far post.
South African Chislett, a summer signing on a free transfer after leaving AFC Wimbledon, equalised in style with a stunning strike from the edge of the box in the 17th minute.
Fleetwood goalkeeper Jay Lynch made a double save to deny Josh Thomas and then Ellis Harrison just before half-time.
Vale made a fast start to the second half as Ryan Graydon got up highest at the near post to nod home Junior Quitirna’s corner.
Swansea loanee Thomas scored his first professional goal just before the hour after driving into the box to make it 2-2 just before the hour.
