Airflow tuning is the single adjustment that changes how Smooth 5 feels in daily use.
There is no shortcut on airflow tuning: the Smooth 5 rewards preparation and punishes improvisation.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Smooth 5.
Why airflow tuning matters on the Smooth 5
Restricted airflow suits mouth to lung customers moving from traditional products.
Retail staff rarely ask about airflow tuning directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Open airflow serves direct lung users who prioritise vapour volume.
