On Element e-liquid specifically, stocking both styles and letting the customer feel the difference sells Element e-liquid faster than any spec sheet.

What to check before paying

A specification sheet only tells you what Element e-liquid can do in a lab; the useful question is what it does after three weeks in a pocket.

Questions we are asked about MTL versus direct-lung style

How quickly can a repeat order of Element e-liquid be dispatched?

In-stock repeat orders normally leave within 11 working days, and consolidated freight shortens the door-to-door time considerably on larger consignments. Planning the reorder point against the slowest leg rather than the fastest avoids the gaps that cost sales.

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 29 to 39 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 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.
