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.

Are there different versions of Element e-liquid for different markets?

Yes, and it matters. Strength ceilings, bottle sizes and notification requirements differ between markets, so the version supplied is matched to the destination at the point of order rather than afterwards.

How do I check that a batch of Element e-liquid is genuine?

Every retail unit carries a scratch code that can be checked against the production record. A code that fails twice, packaging with inconsistent print, or a price well below the normal floor are the three signals that should stop a purchase.

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

Most retailers work to a target of 28 to 42 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.
