Air Bar Nex Quality Control Process Explained
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Quality control is where a Nex order either protects or damages downstream relationships.
Distributors reviewing their Nex range usually find that quality control process explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Keeping a short internal note on quality control process for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Nex.
Why quality control process matters on the Nex
Incoming inspection sampling catches most issues before they reach shops.
Consistency across batches matters more than peak performance for Nex, and quality control process is where inconsistency first appears.
Functional testing of a sample from each batch is standard practice.
