I have the hop bong but find it faff. My last two dry hops have been in WC IPA so I picked up a second all rounder , just the vessel and got another lid collar and thermowell from Ali. I then purge with fermenting co2, dump hops in, purge again and when the main ferment is done transfer one to another so it is off the yeast.
A brewing bucket works as a temp stand for an all rounder and then it goes back on the stand when the other is empty.
The hop bong is OK but I have to tilt out the fridge and add the bong bit and prv and then open the bfly valve. Which works fine with no blockages.

The dump valve for the collection jar at the bottom should be open during fermentation or you will be introducing air when you do open it.
If you use it to remove yeast for reuse remember to make sure the vessel is depressurised before closing the dump valve.

It’s a fair point.
Can I purge it with CO2 prior to opening using a gas in and a prv on the other port?
Yes make sure it's thoroughly purged and it should be ok but in future make sure it's open at the start.
