I actually started getting some better results by changing the 'Scattering Phase' from 1.0 to 0
However that was increasing my render time by an incredible amount, so I tried various settings and found 0.5 to be acceptable. Render times are however still a bit slow. I think standard renderer might ...

I'm still having trouble getting some decent looking fire and smoke through Octane and TFD
By selecting "Use 3rd Party Shaders" everything from the LV disappears. I tried setting the shaders in the TFD container itself, but that seems to have no effect.
I guess I will try the volume medium as best ...

great thank you Aoktar
I got everything to look similar except the particle collisions which I probably just need to figure out

I had to use Octane object tag on the emitter and enable particles>spheres
only see white spheres and no shading
is this method any faster than just using Object Generator and adding the spheres ...
