Air Bar Lux 5: Retail Margin Planning for Distributors

Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk

Retail margin planning for Lux 5 starts from the shelf price and works backwards.

Between the factory gate and the retail shelf, retail margin planning is where most of the value on the Lux 5 is either created or lost.

The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Lux 5 economics actually settle.

Why retail margin planning matters on the Lux 5

Specialist shops generally target a higher multiple than convenience channels.

Where two suppliers look identical on price, retail margin planning is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.

Bundle pricing on device plus consumables protects margin better than discounting hardware.
