Questions we are asked about MTL versus direct-lung style

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.

How long does a unit of Element e-liquid last in normal use?

For a typical adult user the answer sits between 21 and 29 days, depending on draw length and power setting. Heavy users will be at the short end of that range, which is worth knowing when you plan reorder volumes.

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

Most retailers work to a target of 16 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.

Does Element e-liquid need any accessory to be usable on day one?

In most cases no, it is usable straight away once charged or filled. The two things worth adding at the point of sale are a spare coil or pod and, for removable-cell devices, a proper storage case.
