Air Bar Nex 5 Authenticity Checks Checklist 2026
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk

Authenticity checks protect distributors and retailers from grey market Nex 5 stock.
Distributors reviewing their Nex 5 range usually find that authenticity checks explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; on authenticity checks it is the difference between a clean clearance and a delayed one.
Why authenticity checks matters on the Nex 5
A scratch code or QR verification on every unit is now the minimum expectation.
Seasonality interacts with authenticity checks more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Batch numbers should match between inner tray, carton and invoice.
