Learn how to pre-fill and use Storz & Bickel dosing capsules for cleaner, quicker sessions. Step-by-step guide for Volcano, Plenty, and more.

Quick answer

Pre-fill Storz & Bickel dosing capsules with ground herbs to speed up loading and keep your vaporizer cleaner. This guide covers the steps for using them with compatible devices like the Volcano or Plenty.

Why use dosing capsules?

Dosing capsules let you prepare multiple loads in advance, so you can swap quickly without handling loose material. They also keep your heating chamber cleaner by reducing direct contact with plant matter. The trade-off is that each capsule holds a smaller amount than a full chamber, so you may need to reload more often for extended sessions.

How to fill and use dosing capsules

Step 1: Grind your material: Grind your herbs to a medium-coarse consistency. Too fine and the capsule may clog; too coarse and it may not pack evenly. A consistent grind helps airflow and vapor production.
Step 2: Fill the capsule: Hold the capsule open and spoon or pour the ground material in. Lightly tamp it down with the capsule's lid or a small tool — do not overpack. The capsule should be full but not heaping. Overpacking restricts airflow and can cause uneven heating.
Step 3: Close and store: Snap the lid on securely. Store filled capsules in the included container or a sealed bag away from moisture. Label them if you use different blends. Humidity can degrade herbs inside capsules; store in a dry, cool place.
Step 4: Load into your vaporizer: Open your vaporizer's heating chamber and drop a filled capsule in. For the Volcano, place it in the solid valve or easy valve filling chamber. For the Plenty, insert it into the chamber reducer if using one. Always check compatibility — not all third-party capsules fit Storz & Bickel devices perfectly.
Step 5: Vape and dispose: Turn on your vaporizer and use as normal. After the session, remove the capsule while it's still warm (use tweezers if hot) and empty the spent material. Rinse or brush the capsule for reuse. Empty capsules while warm to prevent residue from sticking. Reuse each capsule multiple times.
