Tight is good but I believe there is a point where you can get it too tight. The most important thing IMHO is consistency throughout the basket. If you over pack you can run into the risk of breaking down the granules of lime into dust. I have seen this happen with some of my students who get over zealous with packing in as much as possible. With our Rebreather (SIVA, SIVA+) if you over pack the basket you can damage the basket or stretch the nylon mesh in the basket.
