I generally agree with you, but the capsule does have reduced capacity.I can still get plenty of vapor with the dosing capsules at 340-360F. I don’t notice a change in flavor either. It’s the same material as the existing bowl and the microdosing disc functioned similarly to the lid. A completely packed bowl should be no different than a packed capsule. The materials are the same in and the contact points are the same. I think there’s a lot of negative placebo going on.
The materials of the capsule itself - probably already as thin as it should get, the clearance between the cap and the chamber wall - tolerances to variance and thermal expansion, and the lowered cap ceiling that leaves room for a completely extended microdose disc - a safety measure to reduce the number of "oops I crushed my oven" warranty claims. Those dimensions add up.
It's also just the nature of capsules to increase conduction and restrict convection flow - thermo/fluid-dynamics, man. Airvape did a great job of handling all of these factors in a v1 and have already said they're accepting input for improvements. Did S&B ever bother to improve their capsules? I don't think anyone is going to argue s&b made a perfect cap but everyone sort of just became accustomed to the meh.
Personally I think few people understand the implications of what they're complaining about
