And let's recall that the numbers on the Wand aren't actual temperatures, just amount of time it takes Wand dabbing banger to get to the temp displayed on the Wand. Can be a helpful reference, but the click on the Anvil can also be a useful reference point, unless you prefer hits with the Wand prior to the Anvil click.

Np! Glad it's helpful!
Btw wanted to add this to my post but it wouldn't let me edit it.
I tried 635 on the other wand last night for my last bowl and i think it blinked 5 or 6 time after the second click instead of 8 flashes.
I'm not gonna hog up the thread further to test this but I think there might be some variability between wands. Not a lot but some.
So one wand I might run +15 or +20 above the other wands settings. So sorry if 635 is a bit off, but hopefully it gets you in the ballpark of whatever your wand specifically needs for an rtl.
Agreed, you can use the wand and just use the clicks on the anvil to hit temps (just like a torch), that works fine for the most part (10 flashes past the 2nd click is an rtl) and likely is the most consistent way because it's the actual temp of the anvil that you're going by rather than the timing of the wand. But if you're like me with a malfunctioning bowl that sometimes only does the first click and other times only does the second click, and you happen to have a wand, I'd highly recommend doing what I did and tuning your wands timing to get your preferred roast rather than using the anvil itself. I think it's an infinitely better solution than taking on the guess work of 1 bowl that clicks twice and one bowl that clicks once, it's a slightly annoying variable tbh and it has caused darker roasts than I would like sometimes. But ya, there are options with the anvil assuming your bowl functions correctly with the clicks. If it doesn't, the wands timing is a pretty precise method for temp control with the anvil as well.
Alright, that's all for now I think haha, peace.

It’s been out of stock for ages. The XL bowl adds some conduction to the mix, which makes the effects stronger. Absolutely love this thing! It’s the only anvil bowl you’ll ever need, cause you can pack it as light as you want. Fill it up or throw almost nothing in there, it’ll work just fine.

I have the full bowl and it gets me so high that I feel that I don't need to go any bigger than that.. but you are making it difficult.Same is true for verdampftnochmal.de

It's true the XL is the best all rounder.

I have one on backorder from a US-based company. Hoping everyone got a little taste from Vestratto, not just the Euro distributors.

just got a device overheat with my first bowl? I can only use my forge with a fan next to it because I want to do more then 1 bowl lol

Post up what settings, which oven etc. I had probs in the beginning with that also.
Hey all, Maybe I can ask a question here about the Anvil.
How does it differ from a DynaVap, and is the performance worth the extra purchase price.
If I heat my Dynavap aggressively, I can get two monster hits from two heat ups before I cash the bowl. Now how much better can the anvil be?
Am I able to cash the bowl in one heat up instead or two. And how much better does that actually make the experience?
Thanks guys. The anvil Is on my short list for next vape.

Hello! You are in the right spot.
You can achieve one hit/heat extraction with the anvil, without spinning the device using a single flame torch. IMO, with better flavour, airflow and effect results than the Dynavap.
It can also be a sipper depending on the intensity of the flame and where you aim it on the oven. There are a lot of good videos on YouTube.
There is a price premium, however you are getting Made in Canada parts with (again IMO) incredible manufacturing standards. E
Well worth the money, considering the competition pricing is the exact same (HyperDyn, Omni, Tempest).

I use an Anvil 'usa' kit ('universal stem adapter', aka: Dynavap retrofit) that I got from Vestratto directly. Ran about $150. So you can reuse your DV stem, etc., to save roughly $100.
If you're finding that you have to hit the DV more and more to achieve / maintain desired effects -- the Anvil will help. Especially if you get an XL bowl.
This alone was worth an upgrade, for me. But the 'engine' that Vestratto uses is better in both heating and extraction, as well. And it's much more difficult to fuck up and pyrolyze / combust a bowl, IMO, vs the Dyna.
I use a wand (also w/ the Dynas), and I'm definitely a ride the line guy.
1HE can be done, but I use 2HE, at +8s / +15s after first click. To me, that's the better method. You'll want a WP for sure, if you're going 1HE.
What I like about the Anvil is the engineering. Dynavap makes a pretty good product, too. But I haven't touched mine once since getting the USA kit about 2mos ago.

Hi, have a look at the classifieds here in F.C. a member named BTKA is offering some Vestratto items.

Since people are still kindly posting 'likes' on my long 'technique' post (prior page), I'll add the following changes, as I've incorporated them into my own use, and I can't edit that post any longer (forum constraints)
Temp: 480F (+10F)
1st draw: 15s after first click (2nd will occur if cold enough, but doesn't matter on the first heat cycle)
(new)
2nd draw:
- Count after 1st click occurs.
- If 2nd click does not occur: Stop after 12s past 1st click
- If 2nd click does occur: Go to 15s.
Doubling the heat soak on the first draw improves the flavor (I still hit natively on this one).
Now, you're focusing more on *if* the 2nd click occurs, and what to do if it doesn't (it's hotter, so cut down the heat time).
A nice side benefit is that 480F will 'time out' on the wand, right about the time you want to be pulling out, anyway.
A second one is simplifying things with the count--always 15 as a base. Helps a bit, as you get into your sesh
This will give max extract w/o pyrolization / combustion. If you want lighter roast, adjust these times downward.
Again... your experience will likely be a little different. Tweak as needed, to your liking.

Will be purchasing an Anvil in a few months times, but not sure what size bowl to get. My typical usage is vaping 3 nights a week, using 4 Dynavap bowls (I tend to fill a full bowl just over half, loosely, so I'm guessing about 0.06 a cap?).
Conserving is very important to me, and not ruining my tolerance is another consideration. I'm thinking that the small bowl would be ideal, but I've read posts stating that the XL can do it all? Any thoughts? Thanks.

Half chamber is plenty. The full chamber may lead you into temptation. The XL has a more conductive lean. You can light load any of the chambers.

The half is awesome. The full half loaded is also pretty good

I would recommend either the XL or full bowl if you think there is any possibility you would ever want to do a bigger bowl, or if you don't want to have to be as careful packing it. I find the half bowl easy to pack too tightly for me, even with only about 0.05 eyeballed. I have not tried the XL bowl yet, but my experience with less than full bowls in the Tornado so far inspired me to order one. Its bowl design is essentially a larger XL bowl, so I expect the XL bowl probably does work very well with small loads just like everyone says. The full bowl does too, it's what I've been using in mine the most. I think the main benefit of the half bowl is the dosage constraint, it doesn't seem to perform any better than the full bowl to me. All of that said, the half bowl is awesome and will be a great option if you know you'll be satisfied with its capacity.
Where did you get that bubbler?!

Interesting, thanks. Now that I've asked, and the more I think about this, the more I realise self-imposed constraint might be very significant here.
I'm going to opt for the small, and see how that goes. And then, as Clapped_r6 says, there's always the full half loaded option as well, if I do start finding it a PITA.

Indeed, the XL can do it all.
I personally prefer using the XL bowl with microdoses because it needs a bit less flame power than the other bowls IME
Taste may be a bit clearer with the regular and half bowl.
