Dosing Capsules for Vaporizers — 10 Compatible Devices Compared

What are dosing capsules?

Dosing capsules are small stainless steel containers you fill with herbs before a session. Instead of packing material directly into the heating chamber, you pop in a loaded capsule. After vaping, pull it out, tap it clean. The chamber stays spotless.

Simple concept, big impact. Less cleaning, less waste, faster reloads. Once you try them, going back feels like a hassle.

5 benefits of dosing capsules

1. Chamber stays clean. No plant material stuck in screens and crevices. A quick brush is all you need instead of a full deep-clean. Saves 10-15 minutes every week, easily.
2. Precise dosing. Each capsule holds about 0.1 to 0.15 g. Same amount every time, same result. No guesswork.
3. Fast swap on the go. Pre-fill capsules at home, toss them in a case, swap in seconds while out. Ready to vape in 5 seconds flat.
4. Material savings. Fixed portions mean you use roughly 20% less material compared to loose packing. No more overloaded chambers.
5. More discreet. Less smell because the capsule reduces direct contact between material and chamber walls. And no crumbs when reloading.

Which capsule systems exist?

Storz & Bickel capsules

The gold standard. A 40-piece stainless steel set that fits every S&B device: Mighty+, Crafty+, Venty, Plenty, and the Volcano Hybrid. One set, five devices. There is also a capsule magazine (holds 8) for travel.

Price for the 40-piece set: around 30-35 €. Lasts years with normal use.

Arizer capsules

Arizer makes its own stainless steel capsules for the Solo, Air, and ArGo series. They sit inside the glass stem and work with the Solo 3 V2, Air MAX, and Air SE. A bit smaller than S&B capsules, but just as handy.

DaVinci capsules

DaVinci offers its own capsules for the IQ3, IQ2, and MIQRO. Stainless steel construction. Works well but not cross-compatible with other brands.

DynaVap DynaStash

DynaVap takes a different approach. The chamber is already tiny (0.1 g), and the DynaStash system provides a carry case. Not traditional capsules, but same purpose. Works with the M7 and HyperDyn.

Tips for using capsules

• Don’t pack too tight. Fill loosely so air can still flow through. Over-packing kills vapor production.
• Close the lid properly. S&B capsules need to click shut. Half-open capsules gunk up the chamber – exactly what you want to avoid.
• Empty after use. Best to tap out the material right after vaping, while still warm. Nothing sticks that way.
• Clean regularly. Soak capsules in isopropyl alcohol for 10 minutes every 1-2 weeks. They come out looking brand new.
• Use the magazine. If you vape on the go: S&B sells a magazine that holds 8 capsules. Pre-fill, pocket it, done.

Frequently asked questions

Which vaporizers are compatible with dosing capsules?

All Storz & Bickel devices (Mighty+, Crafty+, Venty, Plenty, Volcano) use the same 40-capsule set. Arizer has its own capsules for the Solo/Air/ArGo series. DaVinci offers capsules for IQ2, IQ3, and MIQRO. DynaVap has the DynaStash system.

How much fits in a dosing capsule?

Most capsules hold 0.1 to 0.15 g. That is enough for 1-2 draws on-demand or a short session. Less material, but used more efficiently.

Can you reuse dosing capsules?

Yes, stainless steel capsules can be reused indefinitely. After vaping, knock out the spent material and soak in isopropyl alcohol when needed. A set lasts years.

Do dosing capsules really save material?

Yes, roughly 20% less consumption is realistic. The fixed portion prevents overpacking the chamber. The material also heats more evenly.

Do Storz & Bickel capsules fit all S&B devices?

Yes, one capsule set works in the Mighty+, Crafty+, Venty, Plenty, and even the Volcano Hybrid. That makes the S&B system especially practical.

Bottom line

Dosing capsules are not a luxury – they are a genuine upgrade. Daily vapers save time on cleaning and material through fixed portions. The best capsule system comes from Storz & Bickel: one set, five devices. For the cheapest entry, grab the Arizer Air SE at 55 € with its own capsules.
