Questions we are asked about MTL versus direct-lung style

What strength should a retailer stock first for Element e-liquid?

Start with the middle strength in the range and add one step either side once you see what sells. Shops that open with a single strength almost always have to reorder within a fortnight, and the second order is usually the one that reveals the real demand curve.

What causes a burnt taste with Element e-liquid?

Nine times out of ten it is priming. A coil that has not been saturated before first use, or a tank run dry, will scorch the wicking and that taste does not go away. Fitting a new coil and waiting a few minutes before the first draw prevents it entirely.

What is the realistic wholesale margin on Element e-liquid?

Most retailers work to a target of 19 to 36 percent at the counter, with the figure moving up when accessories are bundled. Margin per shelf metre is the better measure, because a fast-moving line earns more than a high-margin one that sits still.

What is the minimum order for Element e-liquid?

Mixed cases start at 60 units, which is deliberately low enough for a single shop to test demand. The discount steps begin after that, and the tier table is available on request before you commit to anything.
