Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Storage conditions quietly determine how Classic performs months after production.
What follows is a practical view of storage and shelf life for the Classic, written for people who place repeat orders rather than one off buys.
Retail staff rarely ask about storage and shelf life directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Why storage and shelf life matters on the Classic
Cool, dry and dark storage preserves flavour stability over the stated shelf life.
Keeping a short internal note on storage and shelf life for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Classic.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.

Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (102 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1930 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (18654 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
