I've flattened the CCDs out as well and it does work, along with using two parts to support the ccd while getting it snapped into place, but I don't even bother removing it anymore. Just toss it in o-rings and all, just as
@cybrguy described.
On a side note, I did an interesting experiment last night. I slapped my SS tip/ccd back onto my M to replace my TI tip/ccd, which has been on for the last ~ 4 months or more to compare. Now, mind you I have my ccd at half mast in my TI unit always.
Couple things I noticed. It took basically the same amount of draws to cash the bowl, maybe one more (comparing ~0.1 g bowls to ~ 0.05 g bowls). The heat up time on the SS was slightly longer, and it did hold heat longer. I've got my draw length for each heat position on the cap sorted from using it 6-8 times a day. I noticed I would finish my draw (which would normally be finished just as the cool down click happened) and the cool down click would happen seemingly 3-4 seconds after my draw was finished.
I did notice a large difference in flavor, which I don't believe I detected when I switched to the TI tip/ccd. My sequence of heating consists of starting at the tip, working my way down (respecting one click) to the base, then finishing it with two clicks at the base.
Usually this leaves a nice potent, savory hit to cash the bowl with my TI tip. When I got to this point with the SS tip, I could barely stand the roasted flavor, which also seemed to have kind of an industrious taste for some reason? Wasn't my favorite.
Also, through out the sessions, there was a certain vape signature with the SS Tip that I didn't exactly care for, when compared to the TI tip experience.
I did get noticeably more wrecked from these sessions, but also at the expense of using twice as much herb obviously. As I have other vapes that consistently vape 0.1 g bowls, I enjoy having my Dyna set up to microdose my usual 0.025-0.05 g dynabowls as my DD.
Now mind you I'd probably have to re-tune my techniques if I had to go back to the SS setup, which would most likely result in success, the beauty of these devices: the user can fine tune their experience.
This morning I slipped my Ti tip back into my M if that tells you anything.
