don't know and I don't think I want to know. It is still in the box along with the pico it came with. :D

A much better choice then mine was :lol: :D I don't even have a good reason why I decided to use it. I've used a friend of mine's Pico so I knew exactly what I was getting but I think when I realized it came with the Melo that's what got the best of me and I just had to try it :eek: :lol:

Two lessons known, but reinforced from yesterday:(

Picked up my Pico for my stash and it had the Melo III mini tank that came with it. Tried the tank last night and I REALLY like it a lot. :( Yes, that is a bad thing because it's not rebuildable. Gonna have to buy coils if I want to keep using it. Lesson one: Don't try a new tank under any circumstances that's not rebuildable if you don't want to have to buy coils for it. ;)
. :)

I have not tried these yet, but they should work in the Melo. I have several in my stash.

The Melo lll is like my subtank minis. I love the kbox minis that they have in the subox kit but haven't used any of the tanks.

At least the Subox mini's can be rebuilt if you like them down the road, unlike the Melo III. ;) :)

The best reason is 'cause it was there :D I've been tempted to try my STM but so far have managed to resist. At this point I am still enjoying my GS-Airs and SMOKTech ARO 2's. I really really don't want to try the Mleo, find I really like it and then have to buy more coils for it :D

Thanks cats, I might just have to give that a try and see if it works :)
Please give me a holler if you get one and it works. I may have to pick up a couple of them for just in case I ever decide to try my melo and find I like it.

Kinda slow in getting back...

Cool thanks, and I agree with you in that I won't get rid of all. Keep my Favorite just for those times that a good vape might be nice. If you might like to make a donation to "Vape a Vet" they can be found on Facebook. Plus you can see all of the happy faces with their new vape gear boxes. The coolest thing

I have been working in Info Security for awhile and Facebook is just a calamity waiting to happen. It is getting easy to find, fix, and finish someone on FB. It is not a real good target it seen as a whole, but, for individuals, people make it easy.

I live close to a military base and I have noticed youngsters wanting to talk about their issues (anger, stress). May be good for me to visit there more. They also have a riding club, but, they can be a little arrogant about their Harley's.

Anyway, a direction for me.

Thanks!

Gonna have to buy coils if I want to keep using it. Lesson one: Don't try a new tank under any circumstances that's not rebuildable if you don't want to have to buy coils for it. ;)

Lesson two: Grandson was using his IPV5, which he's used every day since he got it in April. The fire button started giving him problems in the afternoon and by evening wasn't working at all. :( After getting frustrated because nothing he tried was helping and he'd bought himself a new subohm Herakles RTA yesterday that he was trying out that needed the higher wattage his IPV5 gives him he asked me to pull out his spare IPV5 from the stash box but I said to use his older IPV4S and I'd look at it when I got a chance. Later I did a really good cleaning of the battery contacts in the box and on the battery itself and it works again. :) Lesson two: actually two lessons here : first one, when frustrated by something not working walk away and come back to it later and the reason for the problem might just pop into your mind and second lesson is that he really likes his IVP5 and there is only one in his stash that could be needed sooner rather then later- gonna add a second one. :)

Eleaf Melo 2 RBA (ECR Head)

I have a couple of these (I think I got mine from FT, but regardless) and they work GREAT!

Isn't it a one without screws, where wire is held by a rubber gasket?
I put my Melo far far away as a useless non-rebuildable thing. I do know I can rebuilt coils that came with it, but it looks like gaskets will not survive for a long time. If the one in your like is a real thing, I would buy it. If it's longevity depends on gaskets...

It does work, and it's easy to rebuild. If you'd like, I can find the PBusardo video demonstrating how to do it.

ETA: Went ahead and found the PBusardo vid because I wanted to find where he talks about the RTA. Just go to the 25:30 mark and he talks about it and demonstrates how to rebuild it.

It's akin to the old PT2 heads (and even the eGo ONE CLRs) Yes, the gasket is pretty nice. No screws on the Melo head; the Triton RBA head does utilize screws for holding the wire (and it works o.k. too).

    If anyone see's a really good price on Kanger Toptanks let me know. If there's one tank that I want to stock up on, that's it. I like the coils, each one comes with a rebuildable kit so when coils run out they're still useful.

    Was a big Aspire Nautilus fan. Have two... Not going to worry about getting more. Saw someone with a rebuildable video and I've watched a couple before, I'll figure it out.

    And thanks for all the nic advice. I think I'm just going to put the plastic bottles in the freezer and worry about anything else when it's time to move, at which point I may not need a cooler depending on when I leave. I80 is the Northern highway.
