I have seen several devices to assist in pouring the sorb into the cannister more easily.

Does anyone have a reccomended option? or something they have found especially effective?

Thanks in advance

Mostly/entirely they were 3d prints; I have IRL seen only a revo optimized one
Seem like a cool idea, don’t know how effective it is in not dusting up the sorb
would love to have one (or the STL source so I can modify ti fit a sidewinder)
 
I just cut a big hole in the top of a cat litter jug, preserving the handle. I put the heavy keg on a chair or stool, tilt to pour into the jug up to a fill line I made with a sharpie. Then pour into the scrubber. Cheap, simple, travels well.

I will use literally any excuse to 3-d print something, but the cat litter jug works better.
 
I just use a couple 1 quart paint cups. I fill up one, pour the sorb back and forth between the cups 2-3 times to get rid of any dust and dump into the canister. With the 1 quart cups, I fill my optima canister in 3 passes.
 
I have one of these pour spouts I put on the sorb keg,

I then fill up a Dutch Boy Quart Paint Container, it has a good sealing lid,

I use that to fill my cans. With the sidewinder I can get ~1.5 fills from the DutchBoy. I keep one full one in my toolbox when out on a trip just in case I need to dump a canister for whatever reason.

Heard of a 3D printer by anychances? ;)
 
I'm puzzled anything is needed as pouring lime into my Inspiration scrubber is pretty easy (apart from the need for it to sit on a roll of duck tape, to protect the temp-stick wire from damage). I guess other CCR designs may be helped by something different 🤷‍♂️.

I think the issue most people have is lifting a 45lbs/22kg keg and accurately pouring into a canister without making a mess or pulling a muscle. It's a lot easier to pour a "single serving" into a smaller container and then accurately pour that into the scrubber.
