Air Bar Zen 3 Minimum Order Quantity Insights 2026
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Minimum order quantity is the first commercial filter in any Zen 3 sourcing conversation.
Buyers who treat minimum order quantity as a commercial discipline rather than an afterthought tend to hold margin for longer.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Zen 3 economics actually settle.
Why minimum order quantity matters on the Zen 3
The minimum usually applies per SKU rather than per order, which shapes flavour planning.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Zen 3.
Mixing flavours within one model is often allowed at carton level.
