I go where the thrills are
do you guys really think filling the capsules is a hassle?
just grind it in the S&B grinder and fill the herb in the top part of the grinder.
than just grab the both parts of the capsules and shovel it in.
I can fill 2 caps in 10sec
filling the hopper is harder.
Even using Ratchett's tool, it takes me at least ten minutes to fill 8 cartridges, between grinding, putting the caps in the tool, spreading the herb into the caps, popping the caps out, putting on the lids, cleaning off the residual herb from the tool. Big pain in the ass, though convenience on the back end helps make up for it.The 8 cap magazine has a cap filling aid in the middle, but the normal filling aid works for caps too.
I would call it a tie for loading between caps/no caps due to the filling aid - it's more the unloading part that makes the caps more convenient, no mess, no traces
Going around the inside of the cap lids with the brush handle to widen it just a hair helps for opening...
And that's not counting times when the caps get bendy (the metal is super-soft) and hard to take apart.
I can fill the bowl native-style much faster. Much much faster. The caps are great....but not without their issues.
