3. CoolJarz HotShot
If you’re looking for a cartridge filling machine that will take your production to the next level you want to look no further than the CoolJarz HotShot. This machine isn’t just accurate but it also produces each cartridge in record time. You’ll be able to keep up with your growing demand for Delta 8 THC products without any of the hassles associated with manual cartridge filler syringes.
The biggest advantage that the CoolJarz HotShot offers over other cartridge filling machines is its ability to heat oil to a precise temperature. This is important because you don’t want to overheat the oils as it can cause them to lose their terpenes and flavor. Many other cartridge filling guns don’t have this precision making them unsuitable for higher viscosity oils and are prone to errors such as misfiring.
The CoolJarz HotShot can run any type of oil or concentrate including Delta 8 distillate. In fact, it can even handle the thicker oils found in olive oil and glycerine. This machine has a large capacity oil tank capable of holding 1 liter at a time and it’s easy to switch between each product with the click of a button. We also included a tool kit so you can maintain your machine and ensure that it continues to function properly. The CoolJarz HotShot Pro Plus Bundle also includes a spare motor that is easily replaceable by dislodging 4 screws and unplugging the cable. This allows you to save on future motor maintenance fees cutting the price of this machine by a significant amount.
