The ability to ride the line in one hit was surely a major design criterion for the Anvil, and it does that very well. Extracting everything in one cycle is the most efficient way to use it, but the line can be adjusted for personal taste from the dark full roast limit back to a medium or...

A fan powered system (such as the Volcano filling a balloon) pushes the extraction with a slight positive pressure, but otherwise the extraction is achieved by pulling with a negative pressure in the chamber. A higher pressure for espresso coffee extraction and a lower pressure for cannabis...

Such unicellular Foramenifera are responsible for fixing a huge amount of carbon in their calcium carbonate shells - 1.4 billion tons per year, almost 25% of the carbonate production of the oceans.

Some more thoughts on heating, and re-heating: If I heat (with a small torch) just above the lower ring I get a rather light roast that can be re-heated, but another round easily goes darker than I prefer. And a bit higher is flavourful, with another cycle required, but in both cases the taste...

Bang has a long history and many uses Medicinal Properties of Cannabis in Medieval Manuscripts of Azerbaijan and Soma in the ancient Vedas was likely a mixture of Ephedra and Cannabis, but Ephedra isn't readily available in India, so on Somavar (or Moonday) simply Bhang is the preferred...

I wouldn't even bother unscrewing the bowl since the snap discs reset within seconds on a magnet. I generally use the Vestratto Utility Case or the Mad Heaters Reload, but I have also used a DynaStash without any problems. Using the Anvil natively it is nice to get as many hits as possible...

I mostly agree, except for the cool down which takes only a short time on a magnet. [whether or not other vapes taste better is a personal matter, but a second heating is never as tasty as the first]

Climate change threatens everything, and penguins are just the tip of an iceberg. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-08-25/antarctica-sea-ice-loss-affects-emperor-penguin-breeding/102765634

Birdsong began in Australia, and the Superb Lyrebird sings them all. It can mimic any sound, including farm animals and machinery.

As an ex-smoker of bongs and chillums, I love the Anvil's full extraction in one or two hits, but with the XL bowl and XL mouthpiece it can be more like puffing on a cigar.

There are two things I use every day: the Anvil and the Aroma. Both require minimal maintenance and should last forever, and their results never fail to please. The Old Mate Grinder really deserves an OMG!

Just noticed that links are preferred in this thread, so Tabla Beat Science : Tala Matrix Zakir Hussain & Bill Laswell

Heating higher may allow another heat cycle (and another hit), and reducing the airflow (perhaps also heating a little higher to avoid combustion) may allow more hits from one cycle.

Cannabis, Cannabinoids, and Sleep: a Review of the Literature Effects of Cannabinoids on Sleep and their Therapeutic Potential for Sleep Disorders

Research also seems to have mixed conclusions on dreaming, some finding less dreaming and others finding no difference, but THC has been shown to suppress PTSD nightmares. There are clearly different experiences, but I wonder if longer use makes any difference. I can't remember not remembering...

Cannabis doesn't prevent dreaming, but it can make it less likely for the dreams to be remembered. If I am dreaming just before waking I will remember that (often vivid) dream, but otherwise they are forgotten. And I haven't noticed any difference in dreaming between smoking with tobacco and...
