I got one, but in rainbow. I'm not sure how the Melo III is going to be guess I'll find out (haven't vaped that tank on it yet....)

I am really fond of the Picos myself.... I love the form factor and you can't go wrong with features/price. To me, this is one of the best eleaf products out there...

yepper - just grap a TC device and try it - pretty much stoopid proof (just follow a few simple rules, settings, all mentioned here) ;)
with the use of SS wire you can switch back-n-forth (TC/Watts)

...'73 walked into a head-shop and this new artist was blasting on the house system {love at first listen}

and "Liar", for some reason, reminds me of this song... ??


but today I am groovin' on some old SWolf...


and don't forget;
use TEMP CONTROL mode to dry-burn/clean coils

it then has a built in safety

Now for wire - stainless steel is better, but when I go to Temco Industrial as bring up resistance wire they only list Kanthal and Nichrome.
So where to get which wire ?
Try Lightning Vapes, Pop. That's where lots of us get wire. And cheap too. I use 26ga.

Stainless Steel Wire 316L

If my memory serves me, it is listed under "non-resistance wire".

Queen I and Queen II records are among the finest music there is. They went off the deep end after that.

Temco is also a seller on Amazon

Don't see SS on their website now. just Kanthal and Nichrome listed under wire
Resistance & Non-Resistance Wire - Wire, Cable and Accessories Guides - Product Guides

Ordered 50' of 28ga, so I should have enough to play around with.


I don't TC anymore but fire ring up the way back machine.......................

I found SS very harsh. I don;t know why its harsh for me but like slamming my head into a wall it felt good when I stopped.

Titianum I used for abit. Honestly I stopped and cannot recall why. Nothing bad but clearly nothing great.

Nickel was where it was at for me. Worked great and fantastic vape. However............... its kinda a pain to build with. Dual eleventy brazillion wrap 28's or some such. 25mm decks are a gift from god with nickel. Finally wasn't worth it to me.

Old school TC stuff like the DNA's didn't impress me. Some of the newer generation stuff has my interest. people I trust tell me that Hohm thingie works very well though I have zero personal experiance. My wife uses a Geekvape Ageis or whatever in VCP mode. Its not TC but same idea and it works with anything and works very well. I like that people keep trying to make things better. Frankly I use a paraell mech squonker so I'm not exactly bleeding edge tech but I'm interested in others stuff.

Your gonna love that Pico. Not a fan of single 18650 mods but I always have a murdered out Pico with a Baby Beast for when I'm carring light. Smokers are always amazed how small and powerfull they are and if its late enough in the evening I just giveit to them. Like 20 bucks at Gearbest

Sorry this is off topic but you guys got me thinking of all my favorite classic bands. While I always enjoyed Clapton's music even back in the days of The Yardbirds and Creme, he was never at the top of my list. Bands like Zepplin, The Eagles, Foreigner, were always higher on that list, but I think Fleetwood Mac is probably my all time fav classic rock band (During the time Stevie Nicks was in the band). Something about her voice is just haunting. The funny thing about Fleetwood Mac though is I know so many people that don't know who they are but as soon as I start playing their music they seem to know all the songs.
Nothing tops zep, I mean nada. They are indeed the best imo. Sorry to Ramble On. [emoji3]
