How to Source Air Bar Zen Mini: Minimum Order Quantity
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Minimum order quantity is the first commercial filter in any Zen Mini sourcing conversation.
Distributors reviewing their Zen Mini range usually find that minimum order quantity explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Retail staff rarely ask about minimum order quantity directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Why minimum order quantity matters on the Zen Mini
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.
