Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Channel choice determines which Meta Max formats succeed and which sit on the shelf.
A range review that ignores distribution channels will often produce a confident decision and a disappointing quarter on the Meta Max.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Meta Max.
Why distribution channels matters on the Meta Max
Specialist shops support higher service expectations and wider flavour ranges.
Shops that receive a short briefing on distribution channels convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
