Air Bar Vibe Authenticity Checks Checklist 2026
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Authenticity checks protect distributors and retailers from grey market Vibe stock.
Buyers who treat authenticity checks 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 Vibe economics actually settle.
Why authenticity checks matters on the Vibe
A scratch code or QR verification on every unit is now the minimum expectation.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, authenticity checks is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
Batch numbers should match between inner tray, carton and invoice.
