Abstract: A cartridge handling machine for vape type cartridges is provided, which may comprise a filling module for filling of cartridge bodies with viscous consumable fluids, particularly oils extracted from hemp and cannabis and compositions thereof. The cartridge handling machine may also comprise a capping module to provide for synchronized filling of the filled cartridges and capping the cartridges with a cap, such as a mouthpiece or other cap device developed for such cartridges. The individual filling and capping modules can be operated independent of each other such that the cartridge handling machine preferably comprises both a filling module and capping module that preferably are integrated together for synchronized operation, although these modules may also be constructed and operated as separate machines for the respective filling and capping of these types of vape cartridges.
