How to Source Air Bar Box 3: Minimum Order Quantity

Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk

Distributors reviewing their Box 3 range usually find that minimum order quantity explains most of the variance in results between accounts.

Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind minimum order quantity: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.

Why minimum order quantity matters on the Box 3

The minimum usually applies per SKU rather than per order, which shapes flavour planning.

Keeping a short internal note on minimum order quantity for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Box 3.

Mixing flavours within one model is often allowed at carton level.
