Questions we are asked about shelf life and storage

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

For a typical adult user the answer sits between 8 and 16 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 Vape Sourcing 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 Vape Sourcing e-liquid?

Most retailers work to a target of 47 to 60 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 Vape Sourcing 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.
