How to Source Al Fakher Classic: Storage and Shelf Life
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.
Shops that receive a short briefing on storage and shelf life convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
Why storage and shelf life matters on the Classic
Cool, dry and dark storage preserves flavour stability over the stated shelf life.
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind storage and shelf life: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.

Checklist
- Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.

Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (132 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (545 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (11634 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |
Frequently asked questions
What shelf life should a Classic order assume?
Plan around twelve to twenty four months depending on format, and rotate stock accordingly.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
What happens if a batch fails inspection?
The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
Final word
Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
