Air Bar Flux 5 Storage and Shelf Life Checklist 2026
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Storage conditions quietly determine how Flux 5 performs months after production.
Wholesale demand in this category is driven less by novelty than by consistency, and storage and shelf life is where that consistency is measured.
Shops that receive a short briefing on storage and shelf life convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
Why storage and shelf life matters on the Flux 5
Cool, dry and dark storage preserves flavour stability over the stated shelf life.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Flux 5.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.
