VapeWholesaleHubIVG Reload First Order Playbook for New Importers — Multi-Warehouse Networks
We ship ivg reload to distributors in very different markets, and the same five questions come up almost every week. Rather than answer them in email each time, we have written them out properly here.
How IVG Reload Fits the Assortment
IVG Reload sits at an interesting point in the assortment. It is familiar enough to be an impulse purchase and specific enough to build a repeat pattern around. Treating it as either pure commodity or pure specialty both lead to poor results.
The Specification That Matters
When we write a ivg reload specification with a distributor, we fix four things first: the resistance band, the liquid capacity tolerance, the puff count methodology and the packaging master carton. Everything else can flex without changing the customer experience.
| Product category | Refillable kit |
|---|---|
| Resistance band | 1.2 - 1.4 ohm |
| Capacity tolerance | +/- 5% |
| Puff count method | Machine cycle 3s on / 27s off |
| Master carton | 120 units |
| Carton weight | 10.3 kg |
| Shelf life | 18 months |
| Storage | 15-25 C, dry, away from direct light |
Turning IVG Reload Into Repeats
Put ivg reload where the decision is made, not where the margin is highest. In most stores that means near the counter or at eye level in the category, rather than wherever there is spare space.
Pricing and Margin
Discounting ivg reload to win shelf space tends to reset customer expectations permanently. Volume support in kind, such as display material, usually costs less in the long run.
Indicative reference points for planning purposes: entry tier from USD 2.30 per unit at 1000 units, mid tier at USD 1.62, and volume tier at USD 1.19 for full container quantities. These figures move with specification, packaging and freight, so treat them as a shape rather than a quote.
Getting IVG Reload to Your Warehouse
Split ivg reload shipments across two sailings when the order is large enough. It costs slightly more but removes the risk of a single event wiping out a full quarter of stock.
Model ivg reload freight both ways before choosing a method: cost per unit and cost per week of delay. The second figure is the one that decides whether a cheap option was actually cheap.
Practical Checklist
- Model landed cost, not ex-works price, when comparing quotes.
- Confirm the current customs classification with your own broker.
- Start with a mixed carton and let your own sell-through decide.
- Rotate stock by batch code rather than by delivery date.
- Ask how the factory measures puff count, then compare like with like.
- Plan the switch from air to sea freight before you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my market changes its rules?
Regulations move, and packaging or documentation sometimes has to follow. We keep approved artwork files on hand so that a required change is a reprint rather than a redesign, which keeps the cost and delay down.
Can I mix strengths in one order?
In most cases yes, as long as each strength meets the minimum run length. Mixed strength cartons are popular with retailers building their first display because they show the full ladder without over committing.
Do you provide compliance documents?
Every shipment leaves with the documentation set relevant to your market, including batch records and test reports where required. Your local rules still determine what you must file, so confirm those with your broker before import.
Is there support for in-store material?
Yes. Shelf talkers, counter cards and simple planogram suggestions are available for ivg reload ranges that reach a sensible volume. Most retailers find the plain strength and flavour cards do the most work.
How are price changes handled on repeat orders?
{K} pricing is reviewed against input costs and volume rather than adjusted casually. Any change is confirmed in writing before the next order is scheduled, with the reason stated so you can judge it yourself.
Next Step
If you are comparing options right now, send us the specification you have been quoted elsewhere. A side by side reading usually shows where the price difference actually comes from, and that is the most useful first conversation to have.
