In Ohio’s fast-moving cannabis market, Certified Cultivators found themselves at a turning point. Their premium oil products were in high demand, but their manual filling process couldn’t keep pace. This led to backlogs, rising labor strain, and missed growth opportunities. Scaling meant more than just producing more cartridges. It meant doing it efficiently without inflating costs or compromising on quality.
That’s when they turned to Vape-Jet. The result? A transformation that not only cleared a production logjam but elevated their entire business: over 220,000 vape cartridges filled in a single month, minimal headcount increase, and a sharp expansion in profit margins.
They now are the top vape producer by numbers in the state.
Let’s break down how they did it.
Like many growing operators, Certified Cultivators were stuck in a familiar trap: strong demand, but limited output capacity. Their semi-automatic machines required constant oversight, intensive labor, and still left them struggling to keep up. Orders piled up. Overtime became the norm. Morale and margins started to slip.
Before switching to Vape-Jet, Certified Cultivators filled around 40,000 – 50,000 cartridges per month. Post-integration, they scaled effortlessly to over 220,000 cartridges in a single month, including: 77,000+ 1g carts, 40,000+ live resin carts, and ultimately 150,000+ units filled via Vape- Jet systems.
Even more impressively, this production leap only required growing their filling team from 2 to 5 people. By automating their most labor-intensive process, they freed up team capacity for quality control, R&D, and operational support without raising overhead.
Instead of simply hiring more staff or adding more semi-automatic lines, they gained a sustainable, scalable system that reduced operational drag.
Certified Cultivators didn’t just fill more – they filled smarter. Whether switching between 510- thread cartridges, disposables, or live resin SKUs, Vape-Jet’s smart calibration tools and intuitive interface made it seamless.
This meant more agility, less downtime, and zero compromise on consistency across multiple product lines.
For CFOs and operational executives, the business case is clear. Vape-Jet allowed Certified Cultivators to increase output by more than 4x while keeping labor costs low and maintaining consistent product quality.

Even more important, this operational leverage enabled Certified Cultivators to stay cost- competitive in a price-sensitive market while improving profitability at the same time.
Automation isn’t just about replacing labor. It’s about enhancing it.
With Vape-Jet, operators gained confidence and control. One team member even rose to become Employee of the Month, thanks to their mastery of the system, precision in calibrations, and leadership in the department.
For Certified Cultivators, Vape-Jet wasn’t just a production upgrade – it was a growth engine. By combining speed, precision, and scalability with real-world support, Vape-Jet helped them protect margins, expand output, and climb to the top of the Ohio market.
