Air Bar Zen 3: Minimum Order Quantity for Distributors
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk

Minimum order quantity is the first commercial filter in any Zen 3 sourcing conversation.
There is no shortcut on minimum order quantity: the Zen 3 rewards preparation and punishes improvisation.
Seasonality interacts with minimum order quantity more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Why minimum order quantity matters on the Zen 3
The minimum usually applies per SKU rather than per order, which shapes flavour planning.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, minimum order quantity is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
Mixing flavours within one model is often allowed at carton level.
