Why troubleshooting guide matters on the Meta 5
Weak vapour usually means a depleted coil or a low charge state.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Meta 5.
A burnt note almost always indicates the coil needs replacing.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (61 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1209 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (17144 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
