Questions we are asked about salt nic versus freebase

What is the minimum order for Element e-liquid?

Mixed cases start at 20 units, which is deliberately low enough for a single shop to test demand. The discount steps begin after that, and the tier table is available on request before you commit to anything.

Can Element e-liquid be shipped to the UK without extra paperwork?

Standard commercial documentation is enough for most consignments, but the buyer is responsible for the import side. We supply invoices, batch records and compliance paperwork with every case so the clearance step is not where a shipment stalls.

What strength should a retailer stock first for Element e-liquid?

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.

What causes a burnt taste with Element e-liquid?

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.
