I like the Anvil fine. I think the second hit is a big downgrade from the first. I don't find it easy to puff on. It has its strengths, but that's not one.
Unfortunately same applies to me, although I use it daily. I bought the half bowl, the torch maker recommended and heat it attached to a WPA, attached to a water pipe. I heat only the lower ring, exactly with the tip of the blue part of the flame, and stop heating on 1st click. I finish it with one draw. Full flavor, massive vapor (for the quantity used) and perfect roast for me, dark brown and even. Since I am used to this technique I stopped using it natively and stopped using regular and double bowl. Always avoiding combustion. I clear at least 4-5 bowls daily and I am very satisfied with the purchase.
