Between the factory gate and the retail shelf, pod capacity and refilling is where most of the value on the Vibe 5 is either created or lost.
Freight consolidation changes the answer to pod capacity and refilling at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.
Why pod capacity and refilling matters on the Vibe 5
Larger reservoirs reduce refill frequency but can change flavour consistency near the end of a fill.
Retail staff rarely ask about pod capacity and refilling directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Clear visibility windows help users judge remaining liquid without opening the pod.
