Questions we are asked about MTL versus direct-lung style

How quickly can a repeat order of Element pod system be dispatched?

In-stock repeat orders normally leave within 14 working days, and consolidated freight shortens the door-to-door time considerably on larger consignments. Planning the reorder point against the slowest leg rather than the fastest avoids the gaps that cost sales.

What is the realistic wholesale margin on Element pod system?

Most retailers work to a target of 61 to 80 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.

How should Element pod system be stored to protect shelf life?

Cool, dark and sealed. Heat and direct sunlight degrade both nicotine and flavour well before the printed date, and a shop window is the worst place in the building to keep stock for any length of time.

What causes a burnt taste with Element pod system?

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.
