the reason you have to flush it twice is because you did what you wanted to - converted it to a low-flow toilet. There's a reason the better low flow toilets have all sorts of crazy systems in them to increase the power of their flushes. I even saw one that forces the water down with compressed air. Low flow toilets use more water than the old style toilets because the average user ends up flushing at least twice instead of the one time the old way used. It's another example of a bullshit environmental movement that took hold and ended up being worse for the environment than the thing it replaced. Kinda like ethanol, hydrogen cars, etc etc etc.
In other words, enjoy your old-style toilet. Not many of us have them anymore, but we sure do miss them!
