Vape Juice sampling basics guide

This page is for convenience store chains who want a working answer on specification, price and lead time before they commit a purchase order. We have written the detail down so nobody has to sit through a sales call to extract it.

Unit price versus landed cost

We work with convenience store chains who order between a few hundred and a few thousand units at a time, and we treat both ends the same way: a written specification, a sample you approve, and a production run that matches the sample.

Payment terms for new accounts are normally a deposit with the balance against the bill of lading. Established buyers on a repeat schedule can move to terms after three clean shipments.

Custom printing raises the unit price and lowers the marketing cost. For convenience store chains the break-even is usually reached on the second or third repeat order, not the first, so we quote both branded and neutral options.

Simple habits that lift velocity

Seasonality in vape juices is real but smaller than most buyers assume. The bigger swing comes from restocking discipline, not from calendar events.

Shelf position decides velocity as much as price. Keep vape juices at eye level, one facing per SKU, and rotate the trial line every quarter so the display keeps earning attention.

For convenience store chains, the practical answer is usually a shorter range: two core lines, one step-up, one trial SKU. Everything else is inventory risk wearing a nice finish.

How we structure a first order

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.

A practical starting order for convenience store chains is 500 units across two or three SKUs, not 500 units of one. That spreads the risk, gives your staff something to compare, and still hits the first price break.

  • Standing reorder schedule with a fixed cut-off
  • Seven-day defect reporting with replace-or-credit
  • Reference sample retained from every batch
  • Mixed SKU cartons to spread first-order risk
  • Named account contact who has handled the product
  • Specification locked in writing before production starts

Quality control, in plain terms

Every batch is pulled from running production, not from a display shelf. We check draw resistance, airflow balance, charge behaviour, leak performance after a temperature shift, finish quality and carton integrity, and we keep the pull records against the order number.

Battery safety is not a marketing line. Cells are matched by capacity and internal resistance before assembly, charging boards are checked for cut-off voltage, and any unit that fails the cut-off test never reaches packing.

Frequently asked

What is the minimum order for vape juice?

Standard configurations start at 500 units per SKU, with mixed SKUs allowed inside the same carton. Custom colours, custom packaging or a private label run usually start at 1000 units because of setup time on the line.

How do you handle repeat orders?

The specification is held on file against your account, so a reorder is a reference rather than a new brief. We recommend a standing schedule with a fixed weekly cut-off so stock lands before the shelf empties.

How long does production take?

Around 22 working days after artwork approval for stock configurations, plus transit. Custom runs add roughly a week for tooling and a physical dummy. We confirm the date in writing on the order acknowledgement.
