Questions we are asked about MTL versus direct-lung style

Does Element pod system need any accessory to be usable on day one?

In most cases no, it is usable straight away once charged or filled. The two things worth adding at the point of sale are a spare coil or pod and, for removable-cell devices, a proper storage case.

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 is the realistic wholesale margin on Element pod system?

Most retailers work to a target of 31 to 44 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.

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.
