Questions we are asked about shelf life and storage

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.

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

For a typical adult user the answer sits between 17 and 26 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 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.

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

Most retailers work to a target of 30 to 45 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.
