Cant get the same dark roast on my XL bowl like with the normal bowl. Not a big fan of going too long after the click. had quite good results big a bigger flame. Dont want to get too close to RTL tho. Any ideas how to get the same consistent results?
That's interesting, I find it easier to get a dark roast with the XL bowl due to the added conduction. All things being equal in heat up technique, the XL bowl will always produce darker AVB than the full bowl for me. I also find that the half bowl runs a bit hotter than the full. All I would suggest is slowly increasing flame size/aiming lower on the oven until you achieve desired results. I always stop shortly after the first click, especially with the XL.
Speaking of the XL, that bowl has surprisingly become the default option for me lately. I think it mostly has to do with using the Proxy as my main driver for the past few months; I never used concentrates before this, and now I need the XL bowl for a little extra oomph.
The Anvil continues to impress me after over a year of ownership. It just gets the job done, every single time. Pull it out of the case, load the bowl, heat it up, take one big rip (thru water or native, it's honestly great both ways), dump it, throw it back in the case, done. I run fully open thru water, but prefer restricted airflow for native rips (integrated stem).
The ease of use and performance are both amazing, but the vapor signature may be the thing that keeps me coming back the most. It's special IMO.
