Watching this video.........John says you can twist the body to open or close for more airflow. Was this something on the older versions but not the finished product? Mine doesn't do this. Truth be told, I really don't need it. I certainly don't need less airflow, but curious if mines supposed to be able to do it.
Also wanted to say that I rode the line for the first time last night. Fucking disgusting. Never doing that again.

I can’t even do a darkish roast. Someone described RTL as a roasted peanut taste. Just yuck.
Seriously? That actually sounds good, lol. Like not even joking here, I can't see anything wrong with a roasted peanut taste. If I read that, I'd be like, sweeeeet! No, not roasted peanut taste. And no, not everything tastes like
either.Just got HD Goo Roo 3 piece. Stunner off both Halo and Herbo Ti (running off a dual bay ATM which I'm also loving BTW). About to introduce Anvil to it.
Couple important things to note about that piece:
1) ability to remove tube with diffuser will make cleaning much easier.
2) also means you can swap out diffuser type and/or take out diffuser tube and mod it (covering up some holes to affect draw for example)
3) I love that mouthpiece type. But if you don't you can just swap it out for a 18mm male shape you like. Or a whip.
4) but also pay attention to where you will keep it. Fully assembled, it is TALL. Once again a good thing the mouthpiece is removeable.
And stay tuned tomorrow for pics of my new kickass Anvil set-up.

Chongz "The Gimp" 4mm 16cm - Emerald Green - Chongz
One of our best sellers now back in stock.
chongz.co.uk
Got one of these for Anvil, and it is perfect in my opinion.
You can absolutely cream one of these bongs, and the downpipe and bong are one piece so it’s less hassle too

@Vestratto what ever happened to the Founders Edition upgrade kit? I thought that was a great idea.

Here on Amazon it is $15 for 3.3 oz. Is that a good price? For sure not available everywhere!
What would be your take on which one would be best if there is such a thing: the "Ronxs" [dual/single] or the "Blazer"?
As a side note, the industry amazes me! I am an old timer [very old!] and how all/some has changed! Induction~Combustion~Convection.... This and that, a gazillion vaporizers! Just reading here and there fills me with so much knowledge I must say!
Anyhow, Thank You.

Anyone had any information regarding there 4/20 orders? 8 days later I have heard nothing

Same. Whiff responded in the shipping thread, though. I think basically he said to e-mail and check the status.

I don't know where here is but I got four of these 8.5oz cans for $35:
Xikar PUROFINE Premium Butane Fuel Refill for Lighters, 8oz (4 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SW7TLC2/
I love the Ronx for the Anvil. I don't have the Blazer Firefox, I have the Blazer PT4000 and on max the flame isn't big enough to click fast anywhere on the Anvil heater. The Ronx doesn't light on first try reliably like the Blazers but it's a third of the price and is quieter than the Honest pencil torch two pack.
RONXS Torch Lighter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NCCBWQS/
Butane Torch Lighter 2 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09G36RQW8/
@Highonu yeah man, welcome to Anville! Either of those cheap torches will dramatically improve the power and precision of the Anvil if 45 seconds is the fastest you can click with your current one

I see those who registered on the first waitlist got their Anvil, I didn't get the mail to buy one.
chasing after John for more than 4.5 months to buy an Anvil even though I was registering to all his waiting lists.
bought the Brass shield+long mouthpiece 8 days ago and still no mail for the shipment.
Anybody has a straight Chanell with John and can maybe help me with that?

Odd. John has actually responded somewhat quickly to my e-mails when contacting him. Probably the only person here who really has direct ties to John is @Whiff. They both post here time to time.

Wow, that’s gotta be infuriating.
I don’t think anyone has got their 420 order shipped yet, I think it’s still somewhat in the dark as to what’s actually going on there
@Whiff is the only guy that really has a direct line to John so hopefully he’ll sort you out man

There is a separate thread about Anvil shipping. John has posted there and gave a specific email to reach out to about things like this there.

I thought I saw the Anvil Futostash to be out of stock on 4/20. Checked this morning and saw some were available. May have to pick up one of the Padauk ones. Has anyone here actually received one yet?
Lol I'm just messin'. TAG actually responded to me today and said that 9" Super Slit Donut isn't going to be re-stocked. It'll be made to order within 4 months or so. I may end up getting a Goo Roo large inline for now.
That heat going to eventually melt your eyeballs man!

Man, that's a bummer about the TAG 9 but the Goo Roo will no doubt be awesome as well. I'm kind of surprised about going to special order only, I'd think that thing would fly off the shelf.I thought I saw the Anvil Futostash to be out of stock on 4/20.

I have not received shipping notices for the Futostash or my Anvil accessories yet. 420 must have been something.
Oh, and yes, man, that thing is perilously close! Adds an aura of danger and excitement! As it turns out, the Calibear's really nice with my Hot Rod and Couch Log, you just have to hold it or set it sorta level with your face because @Shit Snacks was not even kidding about how droolie that frikkin mouthpiece is!

I don't know about you guys, I think the Anvil is a great name to describe what it does, but when I'm talking about this device specifically (let's say my SO ask me about what device I used today) I rather say the brand name (as in "I used my Vestratto today"). Maybe it's because Anvil doesn't roll the tongue so easily in my native language. 
Also I used a single flame torch for the last weeks, heating between both lower rings. Having a pretty weak torch (50 sec.+ on first heat cycle), this gave the best compromise between extraction level, flavour/harshness, and heat retention of the battery. I usually do one heat cycle for cinnamon brown abv which is good for me.
These past few days, I've been experimenting with my IH and I must say, as of yet it's a pretty different experience. I use an Ispire Wand with a nickel and a S&B capsule lid as a prop below the Anvil in the heater. It takes approximately 1min10 sec to click from a cold start and if left about 3-4 seconds passed the click, will give similar result to heating the middle ring with my torch. The hissing of the torch during heat-up doesn't bother me, but it can be inconvenient while with other people, so I don't really mind trading that for a longer heat-up time.

I got my anvil this week. Initial thoughs are very positive. Will post more thoroughly later with thoughts.
One immediate thought I'd like to share is about heat shield color choice.
I ordered a silver mist option because I just enjoyed the look.
I regret this whole heartedly.
The device gets real hot and passing the vape to another person would be much easier if the heat shield was a different color to indicate where it is safe to grab and touch.
This is personal opinion obviously, and it was a choice I made, but maybe something to consider for future buyers.

Maybe it's my juvenile mind, but I sort of take the name to be an allusion to Wile E. Coyote. Metaphorically speaking, using one is kind of like dropping an anvil on your head.
Just completely killed another bowl with the Anvil and the UFO induction heater. Huge clouds, black ABV...RTL! This time I used 3 full heat cycles (so about 5-6 draws) and heated past the click each time. There are 3 limitations at this time:
I consider the Anvil and the UFO a very satisfactory user experience. I'll probably upgrade that to a "great" user experience once I get my technique ironed out. On the last bowl I vaped a couple of hits, checked the ABV, heated again and took a couple of hits, checked the ABV, and then heated again and killed it. Not a bad way to vape. I am also going to see how close I can get to killing the bowl in one hit. I've done it once already.
One unknown is how this usage will affect the UFO (and the Black Shadow, which I've also used with the Anvil). So far it seems to be taking it pretty well. It doesn't seem to run down the batteries all that much. The funny thing is I got my Wand a couple of days ago and I only opened it today. I've just been having fun with the UFO
If anyone is on the fence about the Anvil because they don't like torches I would say that a "great" Anvil user experience with induction heaters cannot be too far off.
- The heating timeout (10 seconds)
- The session timeout (5 heat cycles)
- Overheat protection
