Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Storage conditions quietly determine how Nex performs months after production.
Distributors reviewing their Nex range usually find that storage and shelf life explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Keeping a short internal note on storage and shelf life for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Nex.
Why storage and shelf life matters on the Nex
Cool, dry and dark storage preserves flavour stability over the stated shelf life.
A written internal standard for storage and shelf life makes onboarding new account managers far quicker and reduces avoidable errors.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.
