Air Bar Nex 5: Sample Order Workflow for Distributors
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
A disciplined sample workflow shortens the path from first interest to a Nex 5 purchase order.
Distributors reviewing their Nex 5 range usually find that sample order workflow explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Nex 5 economics actually settle.
Why sample order workflow matters on the Nex 5
Request samples with the final specification, not an approximation.
Keeping a short internal note on sample order workflow for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Nex 5.
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.
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
