Questions we are asked about MTL versus direct-lung style

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 21 to 33 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.

Is Element e-liquid suitable for someone switching from cigarettes?

It can be, and it is one of the more common routes. The deciding factors are the draw style and the strength: a tighter draw with a mid strength is what most switchers settle on, and staff who ask what the customer currently smokes tend to get the match right first time.
