Comparing IVG Reload Factory Tiers and What You Get — Specialist Vape Shops
There is no clever trick to buying ivg reload well. There is a short list of things worth checking and a long list of things that distract from them. This page is an attempt at the short list.
Market Signals
The ivg reload category is consolidating around suppliers who can document what they ship. Buyers who built that requirement into their process early are now finding it much easier to scale.

Inspection Before Dispatch
The defect rate that matters is the one your customer experiences, not the one the factory reports. Bridge that gap by inspecting the way a customer would open the box, not the way a line worker packs it.
- Ask how the factory measures puff count, then compare like with like.
- Confirm the current customs classification with your own broker.
- Keep sealed retained samples from every production batch.
- Agree the tolerance band in writing before approving artwork.
- Rotate stock by batch code rather than by delivery date.
Freight, Customs and Timing
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.
Customs classification for ivg reload varies by market and changes from time to time. We ship with full documentation, but your broker should confirm the current code before your first order rather than after it lands.
How IVG Reload Fits the Assortment
Category data for ivg reload is noisier than it looks. Promotions, weather and local competition all move weekly numbers, so read three months at a time rather than reacting to a single week.
Think about where ivg reload sits in your customer's week. If it is a weekly restock, breadth matters less than availability. If it is an occasional treat, flavour range and display story carry more weight.
The Specification That Matters
Ask for the ivg reload 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 | Declared by capacity |
| Master carton | 120 units |
| Carton weight | 11.7 kg |
| Shelf life | 12 months |
| Storage | 15-25 C, dry, away from direct light |
Practical Checklist
- Model landed cost, not ex-works price, when comparing quotes.
- Ask how the factory measures puff count, then compare like with like.
- Check carton dimensions against your freight quote before confirming.
- Keep sealed retained samples from every production batch.
- Rotate stock by batch code rather than by delivery date.
- Agree the tolerance band in writing before approving artwork.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I visit the production facility?
Yes, and we encourage it for larger programmes. Visits are most useful when you already have a draft specification, because you can then check the specific processes behind the numbers you care about.
How long does a ivg reload order take to arrive?
Production typically takes ten to eighteen working days after artwork approval, and transit depends on the method you choose. Air express is fastest, sea freight is cheapest at volume. We confirm both at quotation so there is no surprise later.
What if I only need a small first order?
That is normal and sensible. A mixed carton lets you test ivg reload in your own market before committing to a production run, and the specification you approve at that stage carries through to larger orders unchanged.
Can you match an existing product I already sell?
Often yes, provided we can measure it properly. Send a physical sample and we will report back on what can be matched, what will differ slightly, and why. An honest gap is more useful than a vague promise.
Next Step
We would rather quote you accurately and lose the order than quote optimistically and lose the relationship. Ask us the awkward questions early.
