Cartridge packaging systems and methods

A vaping device system comprising:

• a first tray for holding vaping device bodies, the first tray having a plurality of voids, the voids holding a portion of a vaping device body to be filled with a substance, and wherein the first tray and the vaping device bodies are covered;
• a second tray for holding vaping device mouthpieces, the second tray having a plurality of voids allowing the vaping device mouthpieces to be vertically aligned with the vaping device bodies of the first tray, each of the voids holding a portion of a vaping device mouthpiece to cap a corresponding vaping device body;
• and
• wherein the first tray is capable of being placed over a jig having a plurality of jig voids corresponding to the voids for holding the vaping device bodies.

A method of filling vaping devices, the method comprising:

• selecting a first tray formed of deformable material for holding vaping device bodies, the first tray having a plurality of voids, each of the voids holding a portion of a vaping device body to be filled with a substance;
• selecting a second tray formed of deformable material for holding vaping device mouthpieces, the second tray having a plurality of voids allowing the vaping device mouthpieces to be vertically aligned with the vaping device bodies of the first tray;
• placing the first tray within a jig having a plurality of jig voids corresponding to the voids for holding the vaping device bodies, and wherein the jig voids comprise a stepped portion within the jig voids, the stepped portion forming a concentric circle with the jig voids;
• aligning the second tray over the first tray;
• pressing the vaping device mouthpieces onto the vaping device bodies with a press, wherein the press exerts even pressure on the vaping device mouthpieces of the second tray to press-fit the vaping device mouthpieces onto the corresponding vaping device bodies, the stepped portion of the jig void for transferring pressure from the vaping device mouthpieces to a corresponding bottom side of a tank portion of the vaping device bodies when the press exerts even pressure on the vaping device mouthpieces;
• inserting a needle through each of the vaping device mouthpieces;
• puncturing a seal within each of the vaping device bodies using the needle, wherein the needle exerts even pressure on the seal of the vaping device bodies, the stepped portion of the jig void for transferring pressure from the seal to the corresponding bottom side of the tank portion of the vaping device bodies when the press exerts even pressure on the seal;
• and
• injecting the vaping device bodies with the substance.

A method of filling vaping cartridges comprising:

• providing a first tray having a plurality of voids, each of the voids holding a portion of a vaping cartridge to be filled with a substance;
• placing the first tray within a jig having a plurality of jig voids corresponding to the voids for holding the vaping cartridges, and wherein the jig voids comprise a stepped portion within the jig voids, the stepped portion forming a concentric circle with the jig voids;
• aligning a second tray over the first tray, the second tray having a plurality of voids each holding a vaping device mouthpiece to be fit onto the vaping cartridges of the first tray;
• pressing the vaping device mouthpieces onto the vaping cartridges;
• inserting a needle through each of the vaping device mouthpieces with a press, the press exerting even pressure through the vaping device mouthpieces, the stepped portion of the jig void for transferring pressure from the vaping device mouthpieces to a corresponding bottom side of a tank portion of the vaping cartridges when the press exerts even pressure through the vaping device mouthpieces;
• and
• filling the vaping cartridges with the substance.
