Fernway is differentiated by custom-engineered hardware, recyclable products, and the orientation of providing adult-use consumers with consistent and tasty cannabis consumption experiences.

Overview

The company name is motivated by the word fernweh, which literally means a longing for faraway places. This idea is at the heart of the company’s mission, viewing cannabis as part of life’s adventure that can help customers savor every moment worth living.  Fernway is reputed to have high-purity cannabis oil, bold flavor, smooth and consistent performance, and this has made it a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts.

At Fernway, the company believes that cannabis can enhance the good life- good music, good food, good company, good scenery: cannabis can enhance all of this. The brand has established itself by developing the best cannabis experiences by designing extraordinary custom hardware, outstanding terpenes, and ultra-distilled oil. Fernway has established a high presence in the Vapor Pens category in the Massachusetts market, with the company ranking number one from January to September 2025.

History

Fernway, a brand of cannabis vaporizer, produces the vapes and joints, which was established in 2018 by David Van Vlierbergen, Liam O’Brien, and Christopher (Kit) Gallan in Northampton, Massachusetts. Kevin Wu (COO) was also a fourth co-founder. The founding team constituted a mixture of diverse skill sets of various professional backgrounds, sharing an interest in cannabis.

With a three-year-long journey to the establishment of the business and the time it took all the founders to relocate to Western Massachusetts, the market research company BDSA soon declared Fernway as the top vape company in the state and one of the top 5 cannabis brands to follow in the country. The company was released to the market in February 2021 and became the fastest-selling brand of cannabis vapes in the state.

The initial expansion of the company was influenced by the opportunities as well as by serious challenges. Trying to expand in 2021, Fernway started working with only six original 510-thread cartridge choices and used semi-automatic machines to produce products. The founding team insisted on cooperation with specialized equipment manufacturers, including Vape-Jet, to achieve scalable production capacity. Even with the national vaping crisis and changing regulatory environments, Fernway has shown impressive growth with more than 40 SKUs (stock-keeping units) of products by 2022.

One of the focal points in the growth of the Fernway was reached in late March 2023, when the company stated that it had entered the market of cannabis flower and launched terpene-infused pre-rolled joints, which were produced in cooperation with local cultivators in Massachusetts. This product diversification was the start of the strategic expansion of Fernway beyond the vape cartridges. The company has also since secured supply contracts with high-end cultivators such as Root and Bloom, Heirloom Collective, and Mass Yield to grow strain-specific flower products. 

In 2024, Fernway further expanded geographically and launched operations in the New Jersey and New York markets, becoming a multi-state operator in the northeastern cannabis market. In 2025, the business had acquired leadership positions in the market and was ranked first in the number of vape brands in Massachusetts, with increasing influence in New York and Illinois.

Products and Services

Fernway provides an assortment of quality cannabis products aimed at recreational users who need a consistent, rich, and reliable experience. Its main product range consists of vape cartridges, disposable vapes, and terpene-infused joints that are made with high-purity cannabis oil and natural terpenes. The products will be segmented into the Flavor Line, Strain Collection, and Live Resin series to appeal to various individual tastes, potency, and experience. Every product is tested rigorously in-house and third-party, based on its purity, with certificates of examination being provided on request in dispensaries.

Vape Cartridges

The major line of products offered by Fernway is vape cartridges that contain high-purity cannabis oil mixed with fresh cannabis-derived terpenes. The company produces 510-thread compatible cartridges of various sizes, such as half-gram and full-gram, which may be used with the Fernway STYLUS battery or any other 510-compatible vaporizer. The two ingredients in each cartridge are pure cannabis oil and naturally present terpenes of the cannabis plant, and no fillers, cutting agents, or synthetic additives. The specifications of the products used by Fernway reveal that a 0.3-gram traveler cartridge gives a range of about 90 average hits, half-gram cartridges have about 150 hits in a cartridge, and full-gram cartridges have about 300 hits in a cartridge.

Fernway structured its specially developed hardware to maximize the vaping experience by achieving significant accuracy in the temperature control and the resulting vapour. The Fernway STYLUS is the company’s rechargeable vape pen with cartridges of the 510 thread, which has a variable temperature device that enables the consumer to tailor their consumption experience. The device has a heating system with a range of 360 to 420 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing the consumer to test various heating levels to achieve a better flavor release and cannabinoid delivery.

All-in-One Vaporizer Systems

The company’s flagship all-in-one vaporizer is the Fernway Traveler, the first complete, recyclable cannabis vaping system. The Traveler, which is offered with a choice of two sizes: 0.3-gram and 0.7-gram, was launched to meet the consumer demand for convenient, portable, and long-lasting vaping options. The device is provided with pre-loaded cartridges with cannabis oil directly fitted inside the vaper, which removes the necessity to buy a battery separately. The Traveler has an auto-draw activation, which allows the device to activate when the user inhales without pressing any buttons. All Traveler units are produced by the company in a tamper-proof design, which does not allow their reuse, and are combined with product safety and sanitation standards.

The Traveler has high-end hardware materials, including ceramic heating elements and airflow pathways that are engineered to produce a smooth, flavorful vapor. The device comes with a full charge, which means that it can be used immediately without having to charge it first.

Vape Collections Strain Specific

Fernway manufactures strain-specific vape cartridges, which are cultivated and curated to feature rare and award-winning cannabis species due to their distinct flavor profiles, aromatic properties, and therapeutic benefits. The Strain Collection of the company is characterized by original formulations of high-quality cannabis oil mixed with freshly obtained cannabis-derived terpenes, which trap the unique properties of particular cultivars. Among the most prominent strains in the collection, one can single out Red Headed Stranger and Space Queen, both of which were picked separately to emphasize a particular cannabinoid and terpene profile.

The line of original flavors of the company, known as Berkshire Gold by Fernway, was the development of the company with lots of experimentation and customer reviews. These special combinations go beyond the conventional strain portrayals, giving customers innovative flavor experiences, with the aim of increasing social events and leisure. The company has extensive product descriptions of each cartridge, encapsulating the percentage of each terpene, the level of THC, and the expected effects so that consumers can make informed decisions when purchasing the cartridges.

Pre-Rolled Joints

Terpene-flavoured pre-rolled joint products available at Fernway are a high-quality product, as opposed to the conventional pre-rolled cannabis items. Fernway joints are made of ultra-premium cannabis flower in natural rice paper and finished with ceramic tips, which provide a refined experience of consumption. All of the pre-rolled joints are designed with consideration of burning properties, draw resistance, and general aesthetics. The joints reflect the commitment of the company to the purity of ingredients, as only high-quality cannabis flower and food-grade rolling material is used without any additives and chemical enhancers.

Premium Flower

Fernway has gone even further to provide high-quality cannabis flower in addition to vapes and pre-rolls. Fernway started Fernway Flower with the sole purpose of addressing quality control issues in the market. The company also identifies the finest growers in the state and manually picks the best strains and the best buds in the strains, then distributes them to the dispensaries.

Such a selective strategy guarantees consumers a steady supply of high-quality flower products, as opposed to most problems in the market, where low-quality mixed buds are offered at the same price.
