Questions we are asked about salt nic versus freebase

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.

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

In-stock repeat orders normally leave within 7 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.

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

Most retailers work to a target of 57 to 69 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.
