What Vape-Jet does
Vape-Jet, founded in 2018 in Portland, Oregon by aerospace engineers Ryan Hoitt and Devon Reid, designs and manufactures automated filling and capping equipment for the cannabis and hemp extraction industry. The company's flagship product, the Vape-Jet 4.0, is a fully-automatic cartridge filling machine built around a patent-pending machine vision alignment system, nitrogen-pressurized fluid path, and three independently controllable temperature zones that operate at the lowest temperatures on the market to preserve terpene and cannabinoid integrity. The product line spans fully-automatic (Vape-Jet 4.0, Top Load Edition) and semi-automatic (Jet Fueler, Dab Dispenser) machines, supported by add-on modules (Squish-o-Matic 1000 capping machine, Flight Deck cabinet) and a consumables/accessories catalog (heated reservoirs, valve assemblies, syringes). The MARVIN proprietary software platform adds optimized dispense logic, predictive maintenance, and remote fleet monitoring that the company claims increases daily output up to 30 percent.
The company sells primarily through an enterprise field-sales motion targeting cannabis extraction companies, multi-state operators, and concentrate manufacturers, with quote-based pricing and a one-year warranty/SLA included. A three-tier partner program (Brand Partners, Brand Consultants, Brand Reps) extends reach via referral, and the company maintains active participation in cannabis industry events such as MJBizCon and ICBC Berlin. Hardware revenue is complemented by an e-commerce accessories stream and by strategic co-development partnerships with cartridge manufacturers including CILICON, Greentank, AVD, iKrusher, and BOLD Carts. The cumulative installed base has produced over 150 million cartridge fills globally as of early 2026, and the customer roster includes multi-state operators such as Fernway (five machines), C3 Industries, Meli Group, Proper Brands, Terrapin Care Station, True North Collective MI, and Dime Industries.
Vape-Jet is privately held with 11–50 employees, an original Tigard/Portland, Oregon footprint, and a new headquarters being established in Pittsburgh's Strip District robotics hub in 2026. Recognition includes the Forbes Cannabis 42.0 List (2025) and #40 on the Portland Business Journal Fastest Growing Private Companies 2025. The company is pursuing European expansion via an ACTIVE partnership and mid-2026 CE certification, signaling a geographic broadening of the addressable market beyond the United States.

Vape-Jet competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- PurePressure: PurePressure designs and sells precision solventless and solvent-based cannabis processing equipment (rosin presses, closed-loop systems). Like Vape-Jet, it serves extractors and MSOs with high-end hardware, software differentiation, and a focus on product preservation - directly comparable as a premium cannabis automation brand.
- Precision Extraction Solutions: Precision Extraction Solutions manufactures automated cannabis extraction and processing equipment, including filling and post-processing lines, for large operators. It overlaps directly with Vape-Jet's enterprise selling motion into multi-state operators and extraction companies.
- Vitalis Extraction Technology: Vitalis builds automated cannabis extraction and filling platforms targeted at large, regulated producers. Its equipment focus and end markets (cannabis processors/MSOs) and emphasis on automation closely mirror Vape-Jet's value proposition around throughput, repeatability, and compliance.
- ExtractionTek Solutions: ExtractionTek Solutions designs stainless-steel extraction and processing equipment for cannabis and hemp producers. Like Vape-Jet, it sells hardware into extractors and concentrates on throughput, repeatability, and regulatory-grade build quality, making it a comparable equipment vendor.
Broad incumbents
- Triminator: Triminator is an established cannabis processing equipment brand spanning trimming, bucking, and extraction workflows. While broader than Vape-Jet's filling niche, Triminator competes for the same enterprise customer's capex budget and channels (events, direct sales, MSO partnerships).
- GreenBroz: GreenBroz manufactures automated cannabis sorting, trimming, and processing equipment for licensed producers. It serves the same MSO and large-cultivator buyer as Vape-Jet and is a recognizable brand at industry trade shows such as MJBizCon.
- Paxiom: Paxiom (formerly Accutek) supplies industrial-scale filling, capping, and labeling automation across multiple industries including cannabis. While not cannabis-only, its filling-line technology overlaps with Vape-Jet's automated cartridge filling and capping, and it competes for the same enterprise capex.
Emerging players
- Cascadia Cannabis Equipment: Cascadia Cannabis Equipment supplies automated filling, capping, and pre-roll systems to cannabis producers in the Pacific Northwest. It is comparable as a regional equipment vendor targeting the same MSO/extractor customer base with overlapping filling automation.
