How to Source Air Bar Vibe 3: Flavor Portfolio
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk

The flavour portfolio behind Vibe 3 drives repeat purchase more than almost any hardware specification.
Distributors reviewing their Vibe 3 range usually find that flavor portfolio explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Keeping a short internal note on flavor portfolio for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Vibe 3.
Why flavor portfolio matters on the Vibe 3
Fruit and ice blends usually lead volume, while tobacco and dessert lines hold a smaller but steadier share.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Vibe 3.
A balanced first order keeps fast movers at roughly sixty percent of carton space.
