After moving from a Caliburn to a Crown Pod I have to say I'm disappointed with the build quality of these. When it works it works well. The problem is the mouthpiece is held tight by two little plastic lugs inside. When you remove the mouthpiece to refill, these lugs seem to weaken and eventually one will break off meaning the mouthpiece can no longer be secured. This causes the pod to leak and means you then have to steal a mouthpiece off another pod. Eventually you will end up with spare pods with no mouthpiece! I've found a little workaround for this but its not perfect. If you put a small strip of paper up the side where the lug has broken it does hold it tight once more. If you could buy spare mouthpieces without the pods for a cheap price this wouldn't be much of an issue but as it is, it has put me off recommending the Crown Pod.

I’ve had this pod system for a nearly a month now. The first pod I had lasted a good 2 weeks but all pods after this have not lasted as long. I’ve found they burnt out in no time at all. Even when taking every measure to ensure they don’t burn they still ended up burnt.
