Storz and Bickel Dosing Capsule Magazine
The Magazine with 8 Dosing Capsules is a pre-loading accessory from Storz and Bickel that holds eight aluminium dosing capsules in a compact, pocket-sized carrier. Built for the CRAFTY, MIGHTY, PLENTY, and VOLCANO (with the Filling Chamber Reducer), this magazine turns your vaporiser sessions from a fumbling ritual into a grab-and-go affair. Fill all eight capsules at home, snap the magazine shut, and you've got a full day's worth of material ready to swap in and out in seconds.
Why the Dosing Capsule Magazine Changes Your Routine
The dosing capsule magazine solves a problem every portable vaporiser owner knows too well: reloading on the move is messy, slow, and wastes material. Without capsules, you're grinding into a little pile, trying to funnel it into a hot chamber, spilling half of it onto your lap, and then scraping sticky residue out later. With this magazine, you prep once and you're sorted for the day.
Each of the 8 dosing capsules clicks into the magazine's moulded slots with a satisfying little snap. The whole unit is about the size of a thick coin — it sits flat in a jacket pocket or bag without any fuss. The capsules themselves are fine-mesh aluminium, which means your material stays contained, airflow stays consistent, and your vaporiser's oven stays almost spotlessly clean between sessions. We've seen MIGHTYs that have run hundreds of sessions with capsules and still look nearly new inside. Without capsules? That same oven gets caked in about a week.
One honest limitation: the capsules hold a bit less material than packing the chamber directly. You're trading a small amount of capacity for the convenience and cleanliness. For most people, that's a trade worth making — but if you're someone who likes to pack absolutely full chambers, you'll notice the difference. The capsule holds roughly 0.15g of finely ground material versus about 0.25g in a bare MIGHTY chamber.

If you're using this magazine with a VOLCANO, you'll need the Filling Chamber Reducer — the capsules won't sit properly in the full-size chamber without it. Already got a CRAFTY+ or MIGHTY+? Grab a second magazine so you can rotate — one loaded, one being cleaned. The Storz and Bickel Filling Chamber Reducer and additional dosing capsule sets pair directly with this magazine.
How the Dosing Capsule Magazine Keeps Your Vaporiser Clean
This is the bit that sold us on the capsule system years ago. When you vaporise directly into the chamber, plant material makes contact with the heating element and the chamber walls. Over 10, 20, 50 sessions, resin builds up. That residue affects flavour, reduces airflow, and eventually means you're spending 15 minutes with isopropyl alcohol and a brush trying to scrub it out. With dosing capsules, the material sits inside a sealed aluminium container. The chamber barely gets dirty at all.
We've had customers bring in their MIGHTY after 6 months of capsule-only use, and the oven still looked almost factory-fresh. Compare that to a MIGHTY used without capsules for the same period — night and day. The capsules take the hit instead, and cleaning 8 small capsules is far quicker than deep-cleaning a gunked-up chamber. A 10-minute soak in isopropyl, a rinse under warm water, and they're good to go again.
The magazine itself has a tactile, slightly ridged grip on the outside. It opens with a twist — there's a definite mechanical click when it locks shut, which gives you confidence it won't pop open in your pocket. The whole thing weighs next to nothing. Feels like carrying a small tin of mints.
How to Use the Dosing Capsule Magazine
- Grind your material to a medium-fine consistency. Too coarse and you'll get uneven extraction; too fine and it can clog the mesh.
- Open the magazine by twisting the top half. The 8 capsule slots are visible, each with a capsule seated inside.
- Remove a capsule, pop off its lid, and fill it with ground material. Don't pack it too tightly — you want air to flow through. About 0.15g per capsule is the sweet spot.
- Replace the capsule lid and press it into its magazine slot until it clicks.
- Repeat for all 8 capsules, or as many as you need for the day.
- Twist the magazine shut until it clicks locked.
- When you're ready to vaporise, open the magazine, pop out a capsule, and drop it into your CRAFTY, MIGHTY, PLENTY, or VOLCANO chamber (VOLCANO requires the Filling Chamber Reducer).
- After your session, use the orange pick tool (included with your vaporiser) to lift the hot capsule out. Drop the spent capsule back into an empty magazine slot to cool.
- Clean used capsules by soaking in isopropyl alcohol for 10 minutes, then rinsing under warm water and air-drying completely before refilling.
From Our Counter: What We Actually Think
We've been selling Storz and Bickel gear since they first hit the market, and the dosing capsule system is one of those accessories that sounds minor but genuinely changes how you use the device. The best comparison we can make: it's the difference between rolling every time you want a smoke versus having 8 pre-rolled ones in a case. Same result, fraction of the effort.
If we had to pick between this magazine and the standalone set of 40 capsules without a magazine, we'd take the magazine every time. Loose capsules end up rattling around in pockets, getting lost, or — worst case — opening and spilling ground material into the lining of your bag. The magazine keeps everything contained and organised. It's the best capsule storage option for anyone who uses their vaporiser outside the house.
The one thing we'd flag: if you only vaporise at home, at your desk, once in the evening, you probably don't need this. Just load the chamber directly. The magazine earns its keep when you're out and about, at a festival, on a hike, or anywhere you don't want to be fiddling with a grinder and a tiny oven. For on-the-go use, it's a no-brainer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the dosing capsules fit all Storz and Bickel vaporisers?
Yes — the same capsules work with the CRAFTY, CRAFTY+, MIGHTY, MIGHTY+, PLENTY, and VOLCANO. For the VOLCANO, you need the Filling Chamber Reducer accessory to hold the capsule in the larger chamber. Without it, the capsule just rattles around.
How much material fits in one dosing capsule?
Roughly 0.15g of finely ground material per capsule. That's about 60% of what a bare MIGHTY chamber holds (around 0.25g). Eight capsules fully loaded gives you approximately 1.2g total — enough for a solid day out.
Can I use the dosing capsules for concentrates?
The standard dosing capsules are designed for dry herb. Storz and Bickel make separate Dosing Capsules with Concentrate Pads — those have a liquid pad inside to absorb waxes and oils. Don't put concentrates directly into a standard capsule; it'll seep through the mesh and gunk up your chamber.
How often should I clean the dosing capsules?
After every 5-10 uses, or whenever you notice reduced airflow or off-flavours. Soak them in isopropyl alcohol (90%+) for 10 minutes, rinse under warm water, and let them air-dry completely. The mesh clogs gradually, so regular cleaning keeps extraction consistent.
Is the magazine dishwasher safe?
No. The magazine and capsules are aluminium — dishwasher detergent and high heat can cause discolouration and corrosion. Stick to isopropyl alcohol and warm water by hand. Takes 10 minutes and keeps everything in good shape.
Do dosing capsules affect vapour quality compared to loading directly?
There's a very slight reduction in airflow resistance because air has to pass through the capsule mesh. In practice, most people don't notice a difference in vapour density or flavour. What you do notice is that the vapour tastes cleaner for longer, because the chamber isn't building up residue session after session.
Can I buy extra capsules without the magazine?
Yes — Storz and Bickel sell sets of 40 dosing capsules separately. If you already have a magazine and just need refill capsules, that's the way to go. The capsules are the same size regardless of which set you buy.
