Sourcing Vape Juice: sample cost and refund checklist
Vape Juice is a specification decision before it is a price decision. Get the resistance, the capacity and the packaging right and the price conversation becomes short. Get them wrong and no discount will rescue the order.

Transit, consolidation and timing
There is no shortage of suppliers quoting vape juice. The scarce thing is a supplier who will tell you which SKU to drop. We have been shipping vape juices long enough to know that the honest answer is usually a shorter list, and that is the answer we give.
For repeat buyers we hold a shipping schedule rather than shipping on request. A fixed weekly cut-off means your reorder lands before the shelf empties instead of after.
We can consolidate mixed orders of vape juices into one shipment. Consolidation saves freight but adds handling days, so we quote both a consolidated and a split option and let you choose.
Building an assortment that actually turns
We source vape juices from a small group of factories we have worked with for years. That means a specification can be held across repeat orders instead of being re-qualified from scratch every quarter. Consistency is a boring selling point and it is also the entire game.
The first question we ask is not what you want to spend. It is what your customer already buys. Answer that and the vape juice list writes itself; skip it and you end up with a pallet of stock that photographs well and sells badly.
What your market will ask for
If you sell into a market that requires child-resistant packaging, say so at quotation stage. Retrofitting a CR closure onto a finished bottle design usually means a new mould and a four week delay.
Age verification is not only a website problem. Retail packaging, shelf placement and staff scripting all carry compliance weight, and auditors increasingly ask for evidence of all three.
- Private label files archived for future rebrands
- Cartons drop-tested and pallet-counted for clean freight
- Specification locked in writing before production starts
- Standing reorder schedule with a fixed cut-off
- Artwork proof plus physical dummy for custom packaging
- Consolidated or split shipping, quoted both ways
Price breaks and payment terms
Freight is quoted separately and honestly. Bundling it into the unit price looks tidy and hides the one line that changes most often between shipments.
We publish a realistic band of 1.11 to 3.73 per unit for standard configurations at 100 units. Below that band you are buying a lighter specification; above it you are paying for finish, packaging or a smaller run.
Specification summary
| Volume | 50 ml |
| Strength | 0 mg |
| Base ratio | 50/50 PG-VG |
| Flavour range | 48 profiles |
| Closure | Child resistant |
| Bottle | PET |
| Minimum order | 50 units per SKU, mixed cartons allowed |
| Lead time | 18 working days after artwork approval |
We would rather lose an order at quotation stage than explain a mismatch after delivery, which is why the specification conversation comes before the price conversation.
Frequently asked
Can we order samples before committing?
Yes. Sample orders are shipped by air express and the cost is credited against your first production order above 100 units. We would rather you handle the sample than approve a specification from a photograph.
Do you support private label?
We do. Send your artwork or your brand direction and we will return a digital proof, then a physical dummy for colour approval. Packaging files stay on record so a rebrand later is a file update rather than a redesign.
Can you ship to multiple locations?
Yes. Split shipments are quoted separately because consolidation and splitting price differently. Tell us the destination list at quotation stage and we will show both options.
