We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce that Vape-Jet is featured in the August 2025 Tech Issue of MG Magazine. This special edition highlights the tech side of the cannabis industry, recognizing the companies responsible for shaping its future with new technologies and forward-thinking approaches.
Earning Recognition From Industry Leaders
As Vape-Jet continues to grow, our team is proud to be included alongside the industry’s top innovators in this special edition of one of the industry’s leading publications. The yearly Tech Issue, published by MG Magazine, is the annual “who’s who” of companies transforming cannabis operations through technology.
In 2025’s edition, the publication shines a spotlight on the increasing role of automation, precision, and data-driven solutions for operators seeking to create consistent and scalable production environments. Why is this so important for operators across the US? Consumer demand continues to surge, with the article highlighting that the vape industry has grown from $146 million in tracked sales in 2016 to $1.73 billion nationwide in 2024.
Beyond the sales statistics, the article also highlights the increased savviness of today’s modern consumers, noting that technological innovation is a key factor in attracting them. A fact that requires operators to consider advanced all-in-one devices, specifically designed for cannabis extracts, which emphasizes the importance of automation and specialized engineering for the ongoing expansion of the industry.
Spotlight: Tech Behind the Trend
Featured in the “Spotlight: Tech Behind the Trend,” MG Magazine shares insights into consumer preferences regarding their consumption, revealing a surprising fact. Although all-in-one disposables or devices may seem popular, cartridge-based vape systems still hold a strong hold on consumers across the US.
For single- and multi-state operators, the truth in sales numbers requires versatility in the number of SKUs they offer. Hence, the rise in popularity of embracing automation technology, which not only makes workflows more efficient for swapping device types but also allows companies to meet demand in both volume and quality, thereby increasing overall scalability.
That’s where Vape-Jet enters the conversation, being recognized for transforming the filling process, turning what was once a manual operation into a more efficient and profitable one. Nationwide, leading extract companies turn to Vape-Jet to increase throughput while maintaining consistency and quality.
Inside the Vape-Jet 4.0 Top-Load Advantage
Not all fully automatic cartridge and device fillers can be treated equally, which writer Sue Denham explores by highlighting the specific advantages of the Vape-Jet 4.0. With intuitive features built to address key industry challenges, a few of the benefits the MG Magazine feature specifically touches upon include:
- Automation with accuracy: While reducing your labor force is beneficial for your bottom line, costly overfills can be more detrimental than helpful. The Vape-Jet 4.0 empowers operators to fill cartridges consistently and accurately, with a repeatability rate of ±0.25% and the lowest transfer loss on the market.
- Process efficiency: Innovation is only as good as the uptime it provides, meaning that seeking out equipment that minimizes downtime is crucial for operators scaling in the competitive cannabis industry. This allows facilities to maintain delivery times (and retain trust amongst retailers!) while reducing material loss, which impacts margins.
- Scalability: It’s not just the trend of disposables and all-in-one devices that’s affecting SKU variability. The industry is ever-evolving, with consumers seeking out carts and disposables with higher volumes (1g, 2g, etc.) and extract variability, including distillate, live rosin, etc. To keep up, operators must be able to adapt quickly as demand grows, which Vape-Jet’s machine vision alignment and loading jig skipping capabilities support.
