If you’re in the vape game, you already know: this industry moves fast. And when demand goes up, so does the pressure to keep production running smoothly. But here’s the problem, a lot of producers are still stuck using slow, manual processes that just can’t keep up.
Sound familiar? Let’s talk about how vape automation equipment can help you fill faster, save product, and stay compliant. No fluff—just real solutions.
Why Press-Down Capping Is Becoming the New Standard
You’ve probably seen it already, more and more vape cartridges are using press-down capping.
Why? Two main reasons:
Child-resistant and tamper-evident designs
Compliance with evolving safety regulations
But here’s the real kicker: these press-down caps are way easier to integrate into an automated workflow. That means you get safer, regulation-friendly products and a smoother filling and capping process.
The Problem With Manual Filling
Let’s say you’re manually filling carts right now. What does your day look like?
Probably something like this: heat up the oil, suck it up into a syringe, inject it into the cartridge, hope you don’t overfill, then cap it, fast. Because if you don’t cap it within 45 to 120 seconds, the oil might oxidize or leak. Not ideal.
With manual filling, you’re dealing with:
Wasted product
High labour costs
Risk of inconsistent fills
A crowded, hectic workspace
And let’s be honest—this kind of setup just isn’t scalable.
Time to Upgrade: Automated Vape Cartridge Filling Machines
Here’s where automated vape cartridge filling changes the game.
With ATG Pharma’s RoboCAP RL Series, you can:
Fill up to 2,000 cartridges per hour
Maintain ±2% accuracy for every single fill
Handle a range of oil viscosities and cartridge types
Cut down on labour by letting one operator run the whole system
Basically, it’s faster, more consistent, and way less stressful than manual filling. You’re not just keeping up with demand—you’re setting yourself up to grow.
Work Smarter With Tools Like MonoBlox and MonoPress
If you’re capping press-down cartridges, you need tools that keep up. That’s where MonoBlox and MonoPress come in.
These attachments let you cap up to 9 cartridges at a time, which means:
Less exposure to air (so less oxidization)
Fewer operator errors
Smoother, faster post-filling workflow
While your RoboCAP is filling the next tray, your operator can be capping the last one. It’s continuous motion. No bottlenecks.
What About Loading? Pre-Loaded Vape Trays = Huge Time Saver
This part’s a game-changer. ATG has teamed up with top hardware suppliers like Jupiter Research and Greentank to offer pre-loaded vape trays.
Here’s what they do for your process:
Cartridges come aligned and tray-loaded—no more hand-placing them
Compatible with RoboCAP and other major filling systems like Convectium’s 710 Captain
You can fill and cap 50 cartridges in under 2 minutes
And get this, you could reduce labour costs by up to 80% just by switching to pre-loaded trays. That’s more time, more output, and fewer headaches.
One Operator. 9x the Output.
This isn’t a small upgrade. We’re talking about transforming the way your production line runs.
With the right vape cartridge filling machine, capping tools, and tray systems, one trained operator can do what it used to take a full team to accomplish:
Fewer people on the floor
Better quality control
Consistent, high-volume output
Safer, more organized work environment
In a world where efficiency and compliance matter more than ever, this kind of setup just makes sense.
