A range review that ignores pod capacity and refilling will often produce a confident decision and a disappointing quarter on the Nex 5.
Retail staff rarely ask about pod capacity and refilling directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Why pod capacity and refilling matters on the Nex 5
Larger reservoirs reduce refill frequency but can change flavour consistency near the end of a fill.
A written internal standard for pod capacity and refilling makes onboarding new account managers far quicker and reduces avoidable errors.
Clear visibility windows help users judge remaining liquid without opening the pod.
