Air Bar Zen Mini: Sample Order Workflow for Distributors
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
A disciplined sample workflow shortens the path from first interest to a Zen Mini purchase order.
Between the factory gate and the retail shelf, sample order workflow is where most of the value on the Zen Mini is either created or lost.
Shops that receive a short briefing on sample order workflow convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
Why sample order workflow matters on the Zen Mini
Request samples with the final specification, not an approximation.
Retail staff rarely ask about sample order workflow directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Evaluate across at least two weeks of real use.

Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (196 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (801 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (10917 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
