Storz and Bickel Dosing Capsules (40 Pack)
Storz and Bickel dosing capsules are small stainless steel pods that hold exactly 0.2g of ground flower, slotting directly into the heating chamber of any Storz and Bickel vaporiser. Pre-load a batch before you head out, swap them in and out in seconds, and keep your chamber almost spotlessly clean between deep cleans. This 40-pack gives you enough capsules to prepare sessions for an entire week — or longer — without touching your grinder again.
Why Dosing Capsules Make Your Storz and Bickel Vaporiser Better
Dosing capsules solve the two biggest annoyances of portable vaporising: messy loading and constant cleaning. Without capsules, ground material sits directly in your ceramic heating chamber. Over 10, 20, 50 sessions, resin builds up on the chamber walls and the cooling unit screen. Airflow drops, flavour dulls, and you're reaching for isopropyl alcohol far more often than you'd like.
With a capsule in place, your herb stays contained inside a perforated steel shell. The chamber barely touches the material. We've seen Mighty owners go weeks between deep cleans when they use capsules consistently — compared to every few days without them. That alone makes the 40-pack worth it.
The other advantage is speed. Loading a capsule takes about 10 seconds at home with a grinder and a flat surface. Loading a chamber on the go — in wind, in the dark, on a park bench — takes longer and wastes material. Pre-pack 8 capsules into the Storz and Bickel capsule caddy, drop it in your pocket, and you're sorted for the day.
Specifications for Storz and Bickel Dosing Capsules
Each capsule is machined from food-safe stainless steel with a fine mesh lid that clicks into place. The tolerances are tight — they fit the chamber without rattling but pop out cleanly with a pen or the S&B filling tool.

How to Use Storz and Bickel Dosing Capsules
Loading dosing capsules is straightforward, but a few small details make the difference between a good draw and a mediocre one.
- Grind your flower to a medium-fine consistency. Too coarse and airflow suffers inside the capsule; too fine and particles slip through the mesh.
- Pop the lid off a capsule by pressing gently on the rim — it clicks off. Set the lid aside.
- Fill the capsule body with ground material up to the brim. Don't pack it down hard. A light tamp with your finger or the back of a pen is enough — you want air to pass through the herb, not around a compressed puck.
- Click the mesh lid back on. You'll feel it snap into place. If it sits proud or won't close, you've overfilled — tap a tiny bit out.
- Drop the loaded capsule into your vaporiser's heating chamber. On the Mighty and Crafty, it sits right on top of the screen. Close the cooling unit and heat as normal.
- After your session, wait for the capsule to cool (30 seconds or so), then tip or push it out. The spent material stays inside the capsule — your chamber stays clean.
- To batch-load, use the Storz and Bickel filling set or magazine. It lets you fill up to 40 capsules at once using a tray and scraper. Without the tray, loading 40 one by one takes about 15-20 minutes — doable, but the magazine cuts that to under 5.
Complete your setup with the Storz and Bickel Capsule Caddy — a pocket-sized aluminium case that holds 8 pre-loaded dosing capsules on a keychain. If you're loading all 40 capsules at once, the Storz and Bickel Magazine and Filling Set makes batch filling fast and clean. Both are designed to work with these exact capsules.
Dosing Capsules vs Loading the Chamber Directly
Both methods work. The question is what you value more: maximum chamber capacity or convenience and cleanliness. Here's how they compare in practice.
| Factor | Dosing capsules (0.2g) | Direct chamber load (~0.3g) |
|---|---|---|
| Load time (on the go) | Under 5 seconds (pre-loaded) | 30-60 seconds |
| Chamber cleaning frequency | Every 2-4 weeks | Every 3-5 sessions |
| Material per session | 0.2g fixed | 0.1-0.3g variable |
| Vapour density | Consistent, slightly lighter | Denser first draws |
| Portability | Excellent — pre-pack and go | Requires grinder and pouch |
| Waste | Minimal — contained extraction | Some spillage when loading |
If you mostly vape at home and don't mind a quick brush-out between sessions, direct loading gives you a slightly bigger bowl. If you vape on the move, share with friends, or just hate cleaning — capsules are the better call. We'd pick capsules 9 times out of 10.
Cleaning and Maintaining Your Dosing Capsules
Stainless steel is forgiving. After each use, dump the spent material and give the capsule a quick blow or tap. For a deeper clean every week or two, drop your used capsules into a small jar of isopropyl alcohol (90%+), let them soak for 15-20 minutes, then rinse under warm water and air dry on a paper towel. They come out looking nearly new.
Don't use soap — it can leave residue that you'll taste on the next session. And don't put them in the dishwasher. The mesh lids can warp at high temperatures, and a warped lid won't click shut properly.
With regular cleaning, a single capsule lasts hundreds of sessions. The mesh eventually discolours, but that's cosmetic — it doesn't affect airflow or function. When a lid finally loses its snap (usually after 6-12 months of heavy use), just replace that capsule from your 40-pack supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Storz and Bickel dosing capsules fit the Volcano?
Yes, but you need the Volcano chamber reducer (sold separately for the Volcano Hybrid). The capsule drops into the reducer, which then sits in the standard Volcano filling chamber. Without the reducer, the capsule rattles around in the larger Volcano bowl and won't heat evenly.
Can I use dosing capsules for concentrates?
Not with the standard capsule alone. You need the Storz and Bickel drip pad — a small steel-wool disc that sits inside the capsule and absorbs concentrate. Place the pad in the capsule, add a rice-grain-sized amount of concentrate on top, and close the lid. The drip pads are sold separately.
How many sessions does one dosing capsule last?
One capsule is designed for a single session. You'll get roughly 8-12 draws from 0.2g depending on your temperature setting and draw speed. After that, the material is spent. Dump it, reload, or swap in a fresh pre-packed capsule.
Are dosing capsules worth it or just a gimmick?
They're one of the most practical accessories Storz and Bickel make. The reduction in cleaning alone saves you time every week. Pre-loading capsules also means consistent 0.2g doses — no guessing, no overpacking. After selling these for years, we rarely hear anyone regret the purchase.
Why buy 40 dosing capsules instead of 8?
Eight capsules cover about two days of moderate use. If you're pre-loading for a week or sharing with others, you'll burn through 8 fast. The 40-pack lets you batch-fill a full week's worth in one sitting and always have clean capsules ready while used ones soak in isopropyl.
Do dosing capsules reduce vapour quality?
Slightly different, not worse. The perforated steel shell adds a tiny bit of thermal mass, so the first draw may take an extra second to produce visible vapour. After that, extraction is even and consistent. Most users report no noticeable difference in flavour or density.
Can I half-fill a dosing capsule?
You can, but airflow works best when the capsule is full. A half-filled capsule lets air bypass the herb instead of passing through it, which reduces extraction efficiency. If you want a smaller dose, fill the capsule fully with a mix of herb and the optional filling pad to take up space.
