The only reservations I'd have with it as a starter kit, is it's an all in one. The speed that companies like Eleaf, Joyetech & TECC release & discontinue models, you could conceivably find yourself with a perfectly useable e-cig that you are unable to use because the coils are unavailable & you can't swap the tank because it's attached to the battery. Same goes for all all in ones.
Some folks on the other hand love them(all in ones) purely because it is a one piece item & the most you have to do is charge it, fill it & swap the coils.

Have to agree with @Sludge Van Diesel about all in ones and the coils becoming obsolete and unavailable.
Why not try one of these
iSmoka Eleaf iStick Pico 75W Melo 3 Mini Kit
Replaceable battery and different tank options

Welcome to ECF!
I'm not a big fan of the AIO type devices either but it's probably OK as a starter kit.
According to the Eleaf website it takes EC coils and has an adapter to use GS coils. Both are very common and are used in several different tanks so they should be around for awhile.

Good post.. +1
I think you made a good decision on this one, for the reasons @gandymarsh said. This particular AIO can take the GS Air heads, the iJust EC heads, Aspire Atlantis coils of appropriate resistance, and there's even a (sort of dinky) "rebuildable" head, just in terms of being able to continue to use the device if stock coils eventually become unavailable. These are indeed very, very common coil heads at the moment, deeming regulations notwithstanding. I use the iJust/Melo 2-3 heads a lot. They last a long time and are not too expensive. I got 25 back in August and I've used three or four. Granted, they're not the only thing I vape on, but still. I tend to get quite a bit of time from them.
I normally really don't care for AIOs either for the same downsides other members have mentioned but IMO you made a good call on this one. Plus, if you end up going with the EC coils, you can always upgrade to something like the Pico/Melo III mini kit in the future and already be set to go with the coil heads. The same is true for the GS-Air tank line and coils, which are pretty popular in its own right, just arguably slightly less modern than the other coils but also better suited for mouth-to-lung vaping.

tks to all. just receive my stuff!!!! so happy !!!
but 1 think thou, it tends to leak easier and mouthpiece becomes very hot. Is that normal?

The mouthpiece is likely to get fairly warm, especially if you are taking frequent pulls. If you're not taking frequent puffs, it may just not be the best design.
The leaking shouldn't be happening that much, though. What type of coil are you using? Make sure everything is nice and tight and that there's nothing simple you're missing in terms of the leaking... even after 8 years vaping I still sometimes make very silly mistakes that cause leaking or whatever, even just not tightening down quite enough. I wish I could be a little bit more helpful but this tank isn't exactly the same as other eLeaf models that I use.
The one thing I can think of off the top of my head only applies if you're using the EC heads, but will cause problems for ANY eLeaf tank if it happens. Every so often, the bottom of a coil will be really loose. It should be fairly obvious if it is; unscrew the coil from the device and gently press that square-shaped piece of metal on the bottom where it makes the connection. If that is really wiggly, that's probably causing the leak. If it's not, I'm not 100% sure in this tank. That loose bottom problem probably happens to me once a year or something... it's not super common but is possible to find with these.

Wow... Eleaf sell a 'sleeve' to make the GS coils fit the EC head tanks.
I wonder if this improves the chances of MTL with an EC head?
Where do I get one?

@djsvapour most places that sell the EC heads now have the sleeves, too. FastTech does, in a pinch. I'm wondering the same thing... got a bunch of tanks that use the EC heads I'd like to have the option to MTL with.
There is also a newer, .75 ohm MTL EC head (not a sleeve).

That's the one I'm trialing. So far... not great. Limited power range. Not up to even 18 or 20 watts in all honesty.
My thought was more to use my stock of GS coils in a bigger tank.
All worthy experiments. I'll check on Fasttech. Thank you.
@djsvapour sorry, just misunderstood what you were saying, missed that you were using the .75 MTL already. That's a shame they don't work better; I was going to try them out but meh...
Do you have any thoughts as to *why* they're doing so poorly? The wicking holes look big enough and they shouldn't be so far off from the other ECs which usually have a wide range of power that can be pumped through them effectively.
I'm not the biggest fan of the GS Air coils but I do have a tank and a number of them, so if you give the sleeve a shot and remember me, please let me know how they do. It may be a better way to use the remaining Air coils I have than the GS-air itself.
