For licensed retailers only. Products contain nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. Not for sale to anyone under 21.
Quick answer: Disposables are the highest-velocity category on a vape shop's shelf, and the shops that sell the most do five things: build the wall in velocity tiers (the top six brands at eye level, with the most facings), keep a ten-flavor core per brand and cut the rest, run a good-better-best price ladder with every price visible, count the wall every Monday and reorder on a two-week supply, and train staff on a 30-second recommendation that never makes a health claim. This guide gives you the planogram, the math and the 30-day plan, built around the brands you can stock from one wholesale account: Geek Bar wholesale, Lost Mary wholesale, RAZ wholesale, Mr Fog wholesale, Off Stamp wholesale, Fifty Bar wholesale and 45 more in our wholesale disposable vapes catalog.

The Numbers That Run a Disposable Wall
Merchandising is arithmetic before it is design. These are the working rules of thumb we hear from the retailers who order from us every week; your store's numbers will differ, so treat them as starting points to measure against.
| Rule | Working number | What it means for the shelf |
|---|---|---|
| Velocity concentration | About 20% of disposable SKUs produce 70 to 80% of disposable sales | Give the top fifth of your SKUs the best shelf and the most facings; everything else is a supporting cast |
| Core flavor rule | 8 to 12 flavors per brand sell; the rest sit | Stock the core deep, sample the rest shallow, drop what does not move in 21 days |
| Facings | One facing per 1.5 to 2 units sold per week | A flavor that sells 6 a week needs 3 to 4 facings or it will be out of stock by Thursday |
| Weeks of supply | 2 weeks on hand for the top tier, 3 to 4 for the rest | Lets you reorder weekly without tying cash up in slow SKUs |
| Out-of-stock cost | A missing top flavor loses the sale and often the customer | The customer who wants one specific flavor walks next door; this is the single largest leak in a disposable business |
| Margin ladder | Good, better and best price points, 3 to 5 dollars apart at retail | Gives every customer a reason to trade up and the shop a higher average ticket |
Build the Wall in Velocity Tiers, Not Alphabetically
Most shops arrange disposables by whatever arrived last. Arrange them by how fast they sell and the wall starts selling for you. Your tiers will move with your market; this is how a typical Midwest shop's wall looks today.
| Tier | Brands (typical) | Where it goes | Facings | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A: the engines | Geek Bar, Lost Mary, RAZ, Mr Fog, Off Stamp, Fifty Bar | Eye level (48 to 60 inches), center of the wall, plus a second placement at the counter | 3 to 5 per core flavor | Customers ask for them by name; these carry the category |
| B: the proven sellers | Smok, Juicy Bar, Breeze, North, Kado Bar, Flum, Air Bar | Flanking Tier A at eye level and one shelf down | 2 to 3 per core flavor | Steady movers; the buyer who did not find a Tier A flavor usually picks one of these |
| C: the long tail and new arrivals | Everything you are testing, regional favorites, new launches | Top shelf and bottom shelf, with a "New" shelf-talker | 1 to 2 | Let them earn their way up; review every 21 days |
| Counter and impulse | The single best flavor from each of three Tier A brands | At the register, within reach | 2 each | Adds a unit to transactions that were only going to be e-liquid or papers |
Every Tier A and B brand above is in our catalog: Geek Bar wholesale, Lost Mary wholesale, RAZ wholesale, Mr Fog wholesale, Off Stamp wholesale, Fifty Bar wholesale, Smok wholesale, Juicy Bar wholesale, Breeze wholesale, North wholesale. One account, one order, one shipment.
The Four-Foot Bay Planogram
A standard four-foot disposable bay has five shelves. Here is the template; swap the brand names for your own velocity data once you have counted for a month.
| Shelf (from the top) | Height | What goes there | Facings per flavor | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 66 to 72 inches | Tier C: new arrivals, test brands | 1 to 2 | "New" shelf-talker; review every three weeks |
| 2 | 56 to 66 inches | Tier B: proven sellers | 2 to 3 | Flavor families grouped left to right: fruit, ice, menthol, tobacco, dessert |
| 3 (eye level) | 48 to 56 inches | Tier A, highest-velocity brand in the middle | 3 to 5 | The money shelf; never let it show a gap |
| 4 | 38 to 48 inches | Tier A continued and the larger-puff-count models | 3 to 4 | Price ladder visible here: the "best" tier sits closest to eye level |
| 5 | below 38 inches | Backstock in sealed boxes, or Tier C overflow | 1 to 2 | Keep it tidy; customers read a messy bottom shelf as a messy store |
Repeat the template for each additional bay. Two bays or more: put the Tier A brands in the center bay and build outward.
Flavor Families: The Ten-Flavor Core
Every leading disposable brand ships 20 to 40 flavors, and no shop can stock them all deep. Pick the core, group by family so the customer can scan, and let the brand page tell you what is new.
| Family | Share of disposable sales (typical) | Core examples | Display position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fruit and fruit blends | 35 to 45% | Strawberry, watermelon, blue razz, mango, peach mixes | Left side, the largest block |
| Ice and frozen fruit | 25 to 30% | Watermelon ice, blue razz ice, strawberry ice | Next to fruit; the two families trade customers |
| Menthol and mint | 10 to 15% | Cool mint, spearmint, straight menthol | Center-right; adult smokers converting look here first |
| Tobacco | 5 to 10% | Classic tobacco, cuban, caramel tobacco | Right side; small but loyal |
| Dessert and beverage | 5 to 10% | Lemonade, cola, custard, coffee | Far right; impulse and variety buyers |
Flavor availability differs by state. If you sell in a state with flavor restrictions, build the wall from the USA compliant products and, in Wisconsin, the Wisconsin compliant products lists, and we will flag what ships to you at checkout.
The Price Ladder: Good, Better, Best
A visible price ladder raises the average ticket more than any sign. The customer who came in for a $15 device will often leave with a $22 one if the step up is explained by puff count, battery and display, and the price is on the shelf, not in the clerk's head. Illustrative retail math below; your wholesale cost and your market set the real numbers.
| Rung | Typical retail | What justifies it | Gross margin at typical wholesale cost | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Good | $12 to $16 | Entry puff count, no screen | 40 to 50% | The price-shopper's answer; keep at least two brands here |
| Better | $17 to $22 | Mid puff count, rechargeable, display or indicator | 45 to 55% | Where most of the volume lives |
| Best | $23 to $30 | High puff count, screen, adjustable airflow, dual tanks | 50 to 60% | The trade-up; one facing of each Tier A flagship |
Print every price. Use one tag format across the wall: brand, model, puff count, nicotine strength, price. Customers do not ask for a price twice; they leave.
Signage and Labels That Sell and Stay Compliant
Compliance is not the enemy of selling; sloppy signage is. Here is the standard that keeps you clear with inspectors and clear with customers.
| Element | Do | Do not |
|---|---|---|
| Shelf tag | Brand, model, puff count, nicotine strength, price | Hand-written tags, tags that cover the product warning |
| Age signage | "We card under 30" (the federal rule since September 2024); 21+ sign at the door and the register | Any sign that implies the product is for new users or for quitting smoking |
| Product claims | Describe the product: puffs, flavor, battery, airflow | Health claims, cessation claims, "safer than" comparisons |
| Brand materials | Manufacturer displays and shelf-talkers that carry the required nicotine warning | Posters that show the product outside the warning requirements |
| Promotions | Multi-buy pricing, loyalty points, bundle with a charger or case | Free samples, giveaways to anyone unverified, discounts that look aimed at minors |
| Placement | Behind the counter where the law requires it; staff-assisted displays elsewhere | Self-service where your state prohibits it |
Our warnings and disclaimers page lists the required warning language. Every product we ship carries the manufacturer warning; your job is to keep it visible.
Count the Wall Every Monday: The Reorder Routine
The shops with the fewest stockouts all do the same thing: one 20-minute count on the same day every week, then one order. Here is the routine.
| Step | What you do | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Count Tier A | Units on hand per core flavor, from the shelf and the backstock | 8 min |
| 2. Compute weeks of supply | On hand divided by last week's sales for that flavor | 2 min |
| 3. Flag | Anything under 1.5 weeks goes on the order; anything over 6 weeks is slow and gets a facing cut | 3 min |
| 4. Dead SKU rule | No sales in 21 days: pull it, discount it at the counter, do not reorder | 2 min |
| 5. Order | One order to World Vape USA for the whole wall, placed Monday, shipped from Elmhurst | 5 min |
Orders ship PACT Act-compliant with adult signature; see shipping and returns for transit times to your state. Rewards on every order: rewards points.
The 30-Second Recommendation Your Staff Should Use
Most disposable sales are decided in one exchange at the counter. Train every employee on this flow and the average ticket rises.
| Customer says | Staff asks | Staff recommends | Never says |
|---|---|---|---|
| "What's good?" | "Fruit, ice or menthol? And do you want a screen?" | One Tier A device in the family they named, at the Better rung, with the Best rung as the step up | "This is healthier", "this will help you quit" |
| "Do you have [specific flavor]?" | Check the wall; if out, name the two closest flavors in the same family from another Tier A brand | The nearest match, then write the out-of-stock on the Monday sheet | "We never carry that" |
| "Which lasts longest?" | "How many a week do you go through now?" | The puff count that matches their use, with a charger if rechargeable | Any claim about puffs per day as a promise |
| "Cheapest one?" | "Cheapest, or best value?" | The Good rung, and mention the Better rung's price per thousand puffs | Pressure |
Rule for everyone on the floor: describe the product, never the health effect. Check ID for anyone who looks under 30, the federal rule since September 2024, every time.
Launching a New Brand on the Wall
New brands move when they are introduced, not when they are stocked. The playbook that works:
| Week | Action |
|---|---|
| Before it arrives | Order the brand's top six flavors, one box each, from the brand page; read the manufacturer sheet so staff can describe it |
| Week 1 | Counter placement and a "New" shelf-talker; staff recommend it as the Better or Best option in its family |
| Week 2 | Compare its sell-through against the Tier B average; order the two best flavors deeper |
| Week 3 | Decide: promote to Tier B on the wall, or hold it in Tier C |
| Week 6 | If it has earned Tier B, add the next four flavors; if not, sell through and drop |
New arrivals land on our wholesale disposable vapes page weekly, and each brand page shows the newest models first.
Your 30-Day Merchandising Plan
| Week | Do this | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Count every disposable SKU for seven days; rank by units sold; assign tiers | You know your real Tier A |
| 2 | Rebuild the bay to the planogram; print uniform tags with prices; set the price ladder | Gaps close, average ticket starts to rise |
| 3 | Start the Monday count; place one consolidated wholesale order; pull dead SKUs | Stockouts drop, cash stops sitting in slow flavors |
| 4 | Train staff on the 30-second flow; add counter placements; launch one new Tier C brand | Units per transaction rise; the wall starts earning |
The Scoreboard: Five Numbers to Watch Monthly
| Metric | How to compute | Target (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Sell-through | Units sold divided by units available in the period | 65 to 80% for Tier A |
| Out-of-stock rate | Core flavors missing on the Monday count divided by core flavors | Under 5% |
| Weeks of supply | On hand divided by weekly sales | 1.5 to 2 for Tier A |
| Units per transaction | Disposable units divided by transactions that include a disposable | Rising month over month |
| Gross margin return on inventory (GMROI) | Gross margin dollars divided by average inventory cost | Above 2.0 for the category |
Illustrative targets; your market sets the real ones. The point is to measure the same five numbers every month.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should a vape shop organize disposable vapes?
By sales velocity, not alphabetically: the top six brands at eye level with three to five facings per core flavor, proven sellers beside them, new and slow brands on the top and bottom shelves, and a second placement of the best flavors at the counter. Within each brand, group flavors by family: fruit, ice, menthol, tobacco, dessert.
What is a disposable vape planogram?
A shelf-by-shelf map of which brand and flavor sits where and with how many facings. The four-foot template in this guide puts the highest-velocity brand at eye level, 48 to 56 inches, with the price ladder visible on the shelves around it.
How many flavors of each disposable brand should a shop stock?
Eight to twelve. Brand pages show what is moving: Geek Bar wholesale, Lost Mary wholesale, RAZ wholesale.
How much inventory of disposables should a vape shop keep?
About two weeks of supply for the top tier and three to four for the rest, counted every Monday and reordered weekly. Under 1.5 weeks goes on the order; over six weeks gets a facing cut.
How do I sell more disposable vapes in store?
Close the gaps on the top brands, print every price in a good-better-best ladder, put the best flavors at the counter, and train staff on a 30-second recommendation that asks fruit-ice-or-menthol and offers the step up. Those four changes move the number more than any display fixture.
Which disposable vape brands sell best in vape shops?
Geek Bar, Lost Mary, RAZ, Mr Fog, Off Stamp, Fifty Bar; all in the wholesale disposable vapes catalog.
What should a disposable vape shelf tag show?
Brand, model, puff count, nicotine strength and price, in one format across the wall, without covering the product's nicotine warning.
Can disposable vapes be displayed on self-service shelves?
Check your state rule; see warnings and disclaimers.
What are the best metrics for a disposable vape display?
Sell-through (65 to 80% for the top tier), out-of-stock rate on the Monday count (under 5%), weeks of supply (1.5 to 2 for top brands), units per transaction, and GMROI above 2.0.
How do I introduce a new disposable brand?
Six core flavors, one box each, a counter placement and a "New" talker for two weeks, then compare sell-through to your Tier B average and either promote it to the wall or sell through and drop it.
Which disposables can I sell in a state with flavor restrictions?
See USA compliant products and Wisconsin compliant products.
