Someone on IG (thanks
@Caelar900 ) suggested I post this here, I just got my pods from Storz & Bickel and I'm absolutely in love with them. The pods are aluminum and they're .2mm thick, very lightweight. I can crush these things flat in my fingers if the lid isn't on, with the lid on they're a bit more structurally sound.
Very little effect on the taste of the herbs
but there is a little something... I'd say the first few hits feel thicker with the pods.
Best of all, reloading can be done while the vape is still hot, on the fly. You could do that before, but it was a pain in the butt.
Pods hold about .1g of ground herb. You could probably get .13g if you crammed it full.
Biggest gripe is trying to get these open, especially if they're cold and full of ABV. If you think opening an ELB can be tough, be prepared to destroy one or two of these while you learn.
The center of the carrying tool (the magazine) is open to allow loading a pod. If you stick an empty pod in the middle and screw the top on, you can just dump some herb on top and push it right down the center hole. Once the pod is loaded you remove the top and put the lid on. It's an okay system but time consuming if you're filling all 8 pods, I just use the pods to scoop up ground herb from my grinder.
I also got the reducing chamber for the Volcano and Plenty. I have LOTS of great things to say about those as well. These little pods have revitalized all four vapes.
