I don’t understand why one can’t just leave the CCD in the full size position and then load up the tip with less material when what you are after is a smaller dose. That is what I do and seems to work fine for me.
I do understand that some people require a consistent experience or have other requirement necessitating uniform bowl sizes, but I think a lot of us probably don’t have that need. What am I missing?
I like doing it this way, because I feel like the heated air penetrates the herb more thoroughly, it being less packed = better airflow, therefore thorough, even extraction, nice and tasty
I guarantee you will notice a difference. Also by leaving the CCD in the bottom position you can use the notches as a guide and get smaller loads for microdosing. For example the 75% setting notch becomes a 25% setting when filling a full bowl.
At the same time, I just installed a CCD in the top (50%) groove on my ‘20 M, and the improvement in its performance is unmistakeable. It’s a tighter pack than I wanted (test drive), but the hit and effect are substantial. The half-bowl M is now in rotation!
I am curious how much airflow it blocks.
Negligible. If you remove the factory-installed CCD first, less than that.
I may have to fall for this new gizmo, inquiring minds ‘n’ all that….
