Okay, I promised some more details and a mini review, so here goes. I am going to talk about Reload first because it is simpler and I have had more time to test it out properly and understand everything about it.
First of all, I am going to admit I was somewhat sceptical about this, "how useful can a jar actually be?" I asked myself, "I have lots of plastic tubs already".
You know when you are wrong, so utterly wrong it is laughable,,, well, this was one of those occasions
Since I first loaded up the storage chamber with some freshly ground flower, I have used it for almost every single flower hit since over the last ~week.
Why?
That's a good question, one I think best answered by describing the workflow... yes, Reload has an actual workflow!
Let's jump right into describing daily use, imagine you have just enjoyed the last vape and you would like to Reload and have another - because well... why not
Here's what I have been doing:
1: Unscrew the Top Lid
2: Use the Decapper on the Top Lid to remove the Dynavap Cap - place the cap on the magnet, slide to either side and pull
3: Use the Debowler to remove AVB from the Dynavap Tip into the Top Section of Reload
4: Replace the Top Lid leaving the Dynavap Cap attached
5: Unscrew the Bottom Section storage chamber
6: Fill the Dynavap Tip with your ground herb from the storage chamber using your preferred method
7: Use the Tamper tool on the underside of the Top Section of Reload to tamp your herb
8: Replace the Storage Section
9: Pick up your Dynavap Cap from the Decapper
10: Go vape!
Here are some photos showing some of the above steps for clarity!

Reload! | Steps 1 & 2 | Step 3 | Steps 5 & 6 | Step 7 |
It has become so fast and fluid I realy can't see me wanting to go back to the plastic tubs again, all the tools I need are right there, it is super convenient, very well thought out. It is one of those things that 'just works' - it does for me at least anyway.
Grumbles
These are very minor gripes - okay!? They do not hamper the functionality of Reload at all, I haven't spoken to
@Brenyo about these things so they may already be better, remember this is a near final prototype not a finished product.
I find the screw threads a little thin for my liking, on occasion it has taken a moment or two to align the sections. They seem solid though. No cross threading going on or anything untoward like that. I am spoiled with the Flower Mill massive 1/2 turn thread I think
One of the thin green o-rings has popped off twice, no big deal, just push it back on again. I would imagine a little recess for them to sit in might make it better, but it's definitely not a deal breaker.
I kept thinking I wanted it shorter and fatter, but perhaps this is a different product, a desktop version if you like. The reality is that the size is excellent, very portable, just the right amount of storage for a trip out - even for heavy users I imagine.
Final note, there are other features, but I am going to leave it there for now, I think explaining the workflow is enough to absorb for now.
In closing, I really like it, much more than I thought I was going to
I am happy to answer any questions
