VapeWholesaleHubNicotine Documentation Pack for Customs Brokers — Three Price Tiers
Everything below applies whether you are ordering one mixed carton or a full container. The numbers scale, but the logic does not change, which is the point of writing it down once.
The Specification That Matters
Ask for the nicotine specification in the same units you intend to measure in. A metric quoted in a form you cannot verify on arrival is not a specification, it is a claim.
| Product category | Closed pod |
|---|---|
| Resistance band | 0.6 - 0.8 ohm |
| Capacity tolerance | +/- 2% |
| Puff count method | Machine cycle 3s on / 27s off |
| Master carton | 120 units |
| Carton weight | 8.7 kg |
| Shelf life | 12 months |
| Storage | 15-25 C, dry, away from direct light |
Where Nicotine Sits in the Range
Nicotine rewards retailers who can explain it in one sentence. If your team needs a paragraph, the range is too complicated for the space it occupies.

Where Demand Is Heading
Flavour cycles in nicotine are shortening, which argues for smaller test orders and faster feedback loops rather than large speculative buys on a predicted winner.
Inspection Before Dispatch
Train whoever receives nicotine cartons to note anything unusual at the point of unloading. Damage discovered at the dock is a freight claim; damage discovered a week later is your problem.
- Model landed cost, not ex-works price, when comparing quotes.
- Write the complaint threshold into the order terms.
- Keep sealed retained samples from every production batch.
- Ask how the factory measures puff count, then compare like with like.
- Start with a mixed carton and let your own sell-through decide.
Selling Nicotine at Store Level
On shelf, nicotine sells on clarity. A plain shelf talker that states strength and flavour in two words outperforms a beautifully designed but vague display, because most purchase decisions here take under ten seconds.
Pricing and Margin
Discounting nicotine 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 1.23 per unit at 500 units, mid tier at USD 0.96, and volume tier at USD 0.54 for full container quantities. These figures move with specification, packaging and freight, so treat them as a shape rather than a quote.
Practical Checklist
- Check carton dimensions against your freight quote before confirming.
- Model landed cost, not ex-works price, when comparing quotes.
- Start with a mixed carton and let your own sell-through decide.
- Confirm the current customs classification with your own broker.
- Keep sealed retained samples from every production batch.
- Ask how the factory measures puff count, then compare like with like.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should nicotine be stored?
Cool, dry and out of direct sunlight. Heat and light are the two things that shorten shelf life fastest. Rotate stock by batch code rather than by arrival date, and keep cartons off concrete floors in humid warehouses.
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.
Is there support for in-store material?
Yes. Shelf talkers, counter cards and simple planogram suggestions are available for nicotine ranges that reach a sensible volume. Most retailers find the plain strength and flavour cards do the most work.
Can the packaging be customised?
Yes. Most nicotine programmes use private label packaging once volumes justify the printing plate. We supply dielines, check your artwork for print issues and hold approved files so reorders need no new setup.
What does a sample pack usually include?
A typical nicotine sample pack covers the strengths or variants you are most likely to list, packed so you can evaluate them side by side. Tell us which lines you are considering and we will match the pack to that rather than sending a generic selection.
Next Step
Whether you order from us or elsewhere, keep a retained sample from every batch. It costs almost nothing and it is the single most effective protection available to a nicotine buyer.
