Damn, I don’t remember if I ordered the loader. Is it really that helpful?
The loader is great for 3 scenarios:
1) filling dosing caps ( I don't really use my caps, but the loader is perfect for this
2) If you are really concerned about cleanliness and don't want debris around the bowl, the loader works great for this
3) You like to make a nice tight "puck" and really stuff the oven. Sticky bud will form into a nice round puck that maintains its shape. If you wnat to overfill the ALP bowl, the loader is great for this. If you do this the the bud on top will be lighter after a session than the bud on the bottom, but it won't be green, it still works pretty well without stirring.
