Questions we are asked about MTL versus direct-lung style

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.

What is the minimum order for Element e-liquid?

Mixed cases start at 24 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.

How should Element e-liquid be stored to protect shelf life?

Cool, dark and sealed. Heat and direct sunlight degrade both nicotine and flavour well before the printed date, and a shop window is the worst place in the building to keep stock for any length of time.

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

Most retailers work to a target of 46 to 56 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.
