VapeWholesaleHubMod Trade Credit and Account Terms — Multi-Warehouse Networks
There is a version of mod that sells through in six weeks and a version that sits in a back room for a year. The difference is rarely obvious from a product photo. Below is the checklist our team uses when a distributor asks us to quote mod for the first time.
Inspection Before Dispatch
Keep a photo record of every mod approval sample. Written descriptions age badly; a dated photograph next to a delivered unit settles most arguments in seconds.
- Rotate stock by batch code rather than by delivery date.
- Model landed cost, not ex-works price, when comparing quotes.
- Start with a mixed carton and let your own sell-through decide.
- Write the complaint threshold into the order terms.
- Keep sealed retained samples from every production batch.
What to Fix Before Approving Mod
When we write a mod 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 | 0.6 - 0.8 ohm |
| Capacity tolerance | +/- 5% |
| Puff count method | Declared by capacity |
| Master carton | 200 units |
| Carton weight | 12.2 kg |
| Shelf life | 12 months |
| Storage | 15-25 C, dry, away from direct light |
Where Mod Sits in the Range
A tight mod range with deep availability usually outsells a wide range with thin stock. Customers who find their line in stock come back; customers who are told to wait do not.
Mod 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
The most durable mod lines over the last few years have been unglamorous and consistent. Novelty sells once; reliability sells every month.
Demand for mod has been steadily rebalancing. The early phase rewarded whoever could ship fastest; the current phase rewards whoever can ship the same thing twice. That shift favours buyers who invest in specification rather than price shopping.
What Mod Really Costs Landed
Hold a small mod buffer in your pricing model for currency movement. A few percent on a container is a real number, and it is easier to plan for than to absorb.
Indicative reference points for planning purposes: entry tier from USD 1.87 per unit at 1000 units, mid tier at USD 1.43, and volume tier at USD 1.38 for full container quantities. These figures move with specification, packaging and freight, so treat them as a shape rather than a quote.
Merchandising and Listing Tips
A mod display that answers strength and flavour without staff involvement outsells a prettier one that does not. Most customers will not ask, so the fixture has to do the work.

Practical Checklist
- Plan the switch from air to sea freight before you need it.
- Check carton dimensions against your freight quote before confirming.
- Start with a mixed carton and let your own sell-through decide.
- Ask how the factory measures puff count, then compare like with like.
- Agree the tolerance band in writing before approving artwork.
- Keep sealed retained samples from every production batch.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need to quote?
Target specification, approximate quantity, destination and any packaging requirement. With those four we can usually come back with a costed option the same working day rather than a request for more information.
Is there a warranty on mod?
Manufacturing defects are covered against the retained sample standard. Normal wear, misuse and damage after opening are not. We publish the threshold in the order terms so both sides know exactly what the claim process looks like.
Is there support for in-store material?
Yes. Shelf talkers, counter cards and simple planogram suggestions are available for mod ranges that reach a sensible volume. Most retailers find the plain strength and flavour cards do the most work.
What if I only need a small first order?
That is normal and sensible. A mixed carton lets you test mod in your own market before committing to a production run, and the specification you approve at that stage carries through to larger orders unchanged.
What is the usual minimum order for mod?
For a standard production run the minimum is normally one master carton per flavour, though mixed cartons can be arranged for a first order. If you are testing the line, ask about a sample pack first and treat the freight as part of your research budget.
