Berlin Debut of Jet-Fueler & Strategic EU Collaboration with ACTIVE

As European cannabis markets continue to take shape, one thing is becoming clear: scaling production in regulated environments requires more than just demand. It requires precision, consistency, and systems built to perform under pressure.

At Vape-Jet, we’ve seen what it takes to scale. Across more than 100 million fills, operators in the U.S. have relied on automation to move from manual processes to repeatable, high-throughput production. Now, we’re bringing that same approach to Europe.

Our recent debut at the International Cannabis Business Conference (ICBC) in Berlin marked an important step forward. For the first time, European operators, brands, and manufacturing partners were able to see the Jet Fueler platform in action, an automation system designed to streamline cartridge filling and finishing while reducing variability and improving consistency.

For a full overview of the announcement, you can read the official press release here.

But this expansion isn’t just about introducing equipment into a new market. It’s about helping operators build production systems that are ready for the realities of regulated cannabis manufacturing in Europe.

Built for Consistency from Day One

In emerging markets, early production decisions matter. The way systems are set up, from hardware selection to filling processes, can determine how efficiently a business scales over time.

Jet Fueler is designed to give operators a clear path forward:

• High-accuracy filling to maintain product consistency
• Lower dependence on manual labor.
• Repeatable processes that support compliance and quality standards

As European markets mature, these factors become critical, not optional.

A More Integrated Approach to Production

To further support European operators, Vape-Jet is collaborating with ACTIVE, a globally recognized vape hardware manufacturer. By pairing proven hardware with precision filling and capping automation, we’re helping create a more complete production ecosystem.

For operators entering regulated markets, this means:

• Reduced launch risk
• Better alignment between hardware and filling systems
• A more reliable path to scalable production

Preparing for Europe’s Next Phase

With CE certification in progress and targeted for mid-2026, Vape-Jet is actively aligning its technology with European regulatory requirements. At the same time, we’re working closely with partners and operators to support pilot programs, localized production strategies, and long-term growth plans.

The goal is simple: help manufacturers launch with confidence and scale with control.

More Than a Machine

Automation is only part of the equation. What matters just as much is the support behind it. From installation and training to remote diagnostics and ongoing optimization, Vape-Jet is built around a simple idea: operators shouldn’t have to figure it out alone.
As we expand into Europe, that commitment remains the same.

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. 

Innovation at the Core

At Vape-Jet, our team is committed to innovative automation technology, especially processes and progress that support niche operational excellence. In cannabis, this means producing a fleet of equipment responsible for enhancing extract integrity and minimizing waste, while automating workflows to achieve maximum productivity.

As innovators to the core, being featured in MG Magazine’s 2025 Tech Issue, within “Spotlight: Tech Behind the Trend”, is not just an honor but also a validation of the Vape-Jet team’s work toward the future of the industry. Even more, the recognition serves as a sign of a broader industry shift toward applying engineering, software, and automation principles to cannabis operations.
