Compatibility question

[BesbesRiadh]

Hello! I juste bought an Aspire CF Maxx battery and I want to know if I'm gonna get the same experience using an eleaf Melo3 tank on it, other than the recommended Aspire Atlanntis Mega.

You can use it but it will not last long if you use a sub coil in it
I love the melo3 tanks.

So should I buy the Atlantis? Because the guy in the store is forcing me a little bit to buy it. And if the Melo3 is ok I like to spend money on other accessories.

NO! you will regret it, he's simply trying to get rid of it... (it's an old tank and probably just old stock that he's trying to liquidate)

It's not a terrible tank, but it's far from "good" compared to what's out there now.. and note, they all take the same coils. It's the "original" sub-ohm tank, which brought us a coil cartridges design that has proven itself, and now there's several brands, and multiple types of these coils that are cross-compatible.

Tanks I recommend that are all in the "same coil family":

Eleaf Melo 2 (slide door top fill, absolutely fantastic tank overall - my go-to still after about a year)

Freemax Scylla (pop-out top fill, nice airflow system, my wife's go-to, kit version comes with an RTA system)

Aspire Tritan (V1) (pop-out top fill, good airflow, glass protected in metal cage, very nice looking tank overall, a bit steampunk-ish, my daughter's go-to) I prefer the V1 to the V2 where the top fill is now a screw top, and they removed the metal cage that protects the glass.

The Melo 3 is a good tank but they messed up with going with a screw top fill that you have to align, also, you have the regular that is a a 2ml (mini tank), and the large version (normal 4ml).

List of the "family":

And note that these coils are easily rebuildable:

Please note: you went and bought a variable wattage mod, it doesn't have any features, so you cannot use any temperature control coils with it. So make sure that you can regular khantals, or stainless steel coils only.

Also, this is a very limited battery, do not expect a lot of battery life with it with any sub-ohm tanks. If you bought it due to the store's recommendation only as a "starter", they basically sold you an overpriced battery... you should have looked into something like an iJust 2 kit (which comes with a tank - same coil family again) iJust 2 Kit is Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit | Eleafworld

But depending on how much you paid (from what I found, this Aspire battery is fairly expensive), you could have gone with a Pico kit (with the melo 3) for similar pricing and have a mod that does just about everything, including having a replacable battery..

No - don't buy the Atlantis.

The CF Maxx is variable watts. It's also 3,000mAh so you are good to go with anything NON TC and as low as it will go with the resistance. That probably means 0.3ohms... but I don't know for sure.

I like the pico 26650 80W I use a melo3 top fill tank on it and a sub KangerTech mini
But that's just me .
For the money the it can't be beat .
