Questions we are asked about MTL versus direct-lung style

What strength should a retailer stock first for Element pod system?

Start with the middle strength in the range and add one step either side once you see what sells. Shops that open with a single strength almost always have to reorder within a fortnight, and the second order is usually the one that reveals the real demand curve.

Are there different versions of Element pod system 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 do I check that a batch of Element pod system is genuine?

Every retail unit carries a scratch code that can be checked against the production record. A code that fails twice, packaging with inconsistent print, or a price well below the normal floor are the three signals that should stop a purchase.

Is Element pod system 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.
