VapeWholesaleHubIVG Reload Factory Visit Preparation Checklist — Cross-Border Trade
We ship ivg reload to distributors in very different markets, and the same five questions come up almost every week. Rather than answer them in email each time, we have written them out properly here.
Trends Worth Watching
Traceability is moving from a nice-to-have to a requirement in several ivg reload markets. Building the habit now is cheaper than retrofitting record keeping under pressure later.
Reading a IVG Reload Spec Sheet
Ask any factory for the same ivg reload sample twice, three months apart. If the second sample drifts, the production line is running without statistical control and your reviews will drift with it. Consistency over time is a more useful signal than a single good sample.
| Product category | Open system |
|---|---|
| Resistance band | 1.2 - 1.4 ohm |
| Capacity tolerance | +/- 2% |
| Puff count method | Declared by capacity |
| Master carton | 200 units |
| Carton weight | 6.7 kg |
| Shelf life | 24 months |
| Storage | 15-25 C, dry, away from direct light |
Inspection Before Dispatch
Keep a photo record of every ivg reload approval sample. Written descriptions age badly; a dated photograph next to a delivered unit settles most arguments in seconds.
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.
- Start with a mixed carton and let your own sell-through decide.
- Write the complaint threshold into the order terms.
- Confirm the current customs classification with your own broker.
- Ask how the factory measures puff count, then compare like with like.
- Agree the tolerance band in writing before approving artwork.
Logistics That Protect Margin
Air freight makes sense for a first ivg reload order when you need to test demand quickly, but almost every steady programme moves to sea freight once volumes stabilise. Planning that switch early avoids a painful margin squeeze later.

How IVG Reload Fits the Assortment
A tight ivg reload 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.
Practical Checklist
- Start with a mixed carton and let your own sell-through decide.
- Write the complaint threshold into the order terms.
- Check carton dimensions against your freight quote before confirming.
- Rotate stock by batch code rather than by delivery date.
- Plan the switch from air to sea freight before you need it.
- Ask how the factory measures puff count, then compare like with like.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
How are price changes handled on repeat orders?
{K} pricing is reviewed against input costs and volume rather than adjusted casually. Any change is confirmed in writing before the next order is scheduled, with the reason stated so you can judge it yourself.
Is there support for in-store material?
Yes. Shelf talkers, counter cards and simple planogram suggestions are available for ivg reload ranges that reach a sensible volume. Most retailers find the plain strength and flavour cards do the most work.
What does a sample pack usually include?
A typical ivg reload 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.

Questions that are not answered here are usually the interesting ones. Reach out with the specifics of your market and we will answer with numbers rather than adjectives.
