Introduction
Dosing capsules are one of the simplest upgrades you can make to your vaporizer experience. These small containers let you pre-pack precise amounts of herb, making loading faster, cleaner, and more consistent. They’re especially popular with medical users who require measured doses, but they’re equally handy for recreational users who want convenience on the go.
In this guide, we’ll cover what dosing capsules are, how to use them, and which vaporizers support them — from budget-friendly portables like the XMAX range to premium devices from DaVinci and Storz & Bickel.
👉 For a full overview of vaporizer types, heating methods, and usage, see our Ultimate Guide to Dry Herb Vaporizers in the UK (2025 Edition).
What Are Dosing Capsules?
Dosing capsules are small metal or ceramic pods that hold a pre-measured amount of ground herb. They:
- Keep your oven clean by containing residue.
- Allow you to pre-pack multiple sessions.
- Standardise dosing for consistency.
- Make swapping sessions quick and discreet.
Most dosing capsules hold 0.1–0.2g of herb, ideal for single-use sessions.
- Grind your herb to the recommended consistency (medium for most devices).
- Fill the capsule with the desired amount (usually 0.1–0.2g).
- Place the capsule into your vaporizer’s oven or adapter.
- Heat and inhale as normal.
- After use, empty and brush out the capsule, or swap it for a fresh one.
While Dosing Capsules are convenient, you still have to maintain them to get the most from your material and the product it self. If you’re diligent about setting up your doses giving your Dosing Capsules a quick spot clean after each use will go a long way to helping them work properly.
👉 Pro Tip: Keep multiple capsules in a travel tube for easy swaps when you’re out and about.
