Anvil by Vestratto

[condition]

Can someone please share their experiences on how to best extract an Anvil bowl in a single heat session using the Wand. (or even tag to a previous response that mentions the process)

Do you have the DV adapter for the Wand? If so, insert only the white silicone sleeve.
Load the Anvil and after the double click, start counting flashes from the Wand. For the regular bowl, you should leave it at least 20 flashes, maybe 30 depending on the herbs.

For your convenience you can attach a metal screen to the lower ring of the apapter, like the picture, good luck.

The Dynavap caps can (supposedly) be damaged, or at least become inaccurate, if heated past the clicks. Are there any similar concerns about heating the Anvil this way?

Are you planning to combust? That's the only reason I'd ever go past the second click.

These devices operate differently and the margin of error with clicks are totally different.

I hope not! But there are people here suggesting keeping it in an IH for 20 more seconds after the click.

In what way?

When you hear the second click you should stop or you will combust...no matter how you heat it

 

[TonyGazelle]

You have some wiggle room with the dyna cap and it's clicks. You will not immediately combust if you heat for a few extra seconds. I used to heat my dynavaps quite a few seconds after the clicks and some people will tell you that it's a best practice to do so.

The amount of wiggle with the Anvil clicks is much lower. I cannot imagine heating my Anvil past the second click and expecting anything but combustion.

This is a plus for me, it takes all the guess work out of trying to get a good hit. easy and consistent. Felt like a natural evolution from my Dyna. Now I just worry about where i point the torch, middle = terpy, thermal battery = space

 

[TangibleHangnail]

I'm getting the idea that the Anvil is a bad match for the Wand, but an excellent one with a torch. Is that fair?

(Not trolling! Already talked myself into getting one, trying to set realistic expectations.)

Legend, thanks for the tip as I do have the Wand adapter. Saying that, I’m using the silicon cap from the Dynastash to act as an adjustable support at the bottom.
I’ve only been keeping it for about 10secs past the 2nd click with the wand and get an okish roast. Will try going even further next time. Check out the pic of some of the tests I’ve been doing lately - FYI: the lighting was slightly on the darker side.. )

I can go.a sec or 2 past the click.on a cold chamber...as soon as the chamber is warm it will combust after 2nd click.

This is a great tip that I also find this to be true.

Learnt something new in terms of starting from a cold chamber vs hot.

Received my anvil a few days ago and I'm digging it but I am having trouble riding the line. I have all three bowls, I'll load them full but not packed and aim the torch right at the thermal battery. Using the pt 4000. Any advice?

Also going a few seconds after second click

Get a more powerful torch lighter. Ronx double and blazer Firefox are the most recommended

Welcome to the Family!

The pt4000 isn't strong enough to RTL. As mentioned above the Ronx/cadrim single/dual flame ($20-25 amazon) and blazer Firefox are the most recommended. Another pencil style torch like the pt4000 that is stronger would be the honest 503 pencil torch. The honest torch isn't too bad, I should pull mine out and play with it again. The Ronx is my go to

I find that if I use equivalent flame sizes, my Firefox takes less time to double click than my Ronx does. Ultimately though, the Ronx has more power with the dual flame.

 

[rageweary]

Just ordered the firefox and since the ronxs was so cheap I grabbed that too. Thanks to all!

Has anyone tried the blazer big buddy? Would that be too much?

 

[chlorophyll_man]

Hiya, yup, big buddy is too much even on lowest setting

I had the same problem when i got mine...
I have a Blazer Firefox but had the flame turned down too low, I get a coffee roast every time now.

I noticed the green 4/20 heat shields in stock so I jumped, I love that green it will match my glass nicely

 

[Vapetothegrave]

I'm all matchy now, the green is very olive/army like, even moreso than the website photo but I dig it!

Thought they were limited to 420 sales. Just ordered from EU, shipping is about 10 bucks. No reseller has them over here. Looks stunning on your freshly cleaned unit

Not fair. I only use the Anvil with the Wand and it works great for me. Very consistent vapor production, dark brown ABV etc.
