Chili, I think they have to be flat top but I'm not positive. Hopefully, someone else with more knowledge than I have will come along and give you a more definitive answer.
But only 2 in the beginning. One for use, one for charging. And they're not that expensive. It's worth it though IMHO. I absolutely love this mod! It has not left my hand since last Saturday.
(sigh)
I had a coupon/credit to use and after sorting through the vendors stock I ended up ordering a BLACK Pico kit along with a few small BLACK tanks to try with it.
My only hope is that the 510 works/lasts longer than the one on the TC40 I have. (which is now fairly to completely useless)
Currently I'm contemplating which will offer me more grief. The mod+tanks showing up the same day as a 2L shipment of NN base or arriving on different days? (at least the mod+tanks might get stuffed in the mailbox and might not be noticed until I get home to fetch them.)

So I mentioned that I was double charged and sent two picos because my CC got declined and I resubmitted and both were somehow processed. Dave at RMV said I could send it back for a refund, but I decided to check to see if a friend wanted it.
He had been using the iStick 40w. He cranked the pico up to 45w with his Aspire Triton and liked the vape so he decided to take it off my hands.
However, he has the same problem as Skyboxer. The Triton works on the Pico, but his air adjustment ring will not turn with the tank on the battery. He doesn't think it's a big deal because it's more of a set and forget kind of thing that you don't really change on the fly, but it's something to note. The tank is too close to the battery cap to allow the ring to move while it's on there.
The Triton is a 22mm tank. It may actually be a Triton 2, which is 22.5mm. Could be the problem.
Edit: It's a Triton 1, which is 22mm. I know because we tried to take it apart last night to clean, and it wouldn't completely disassemble. The Triton 2 may not work at all.

eLeaf will probably lose some sales because they couldn't bear to add half a mm to the overall size. It's still looking like a brilliant form factor.
And come on folks. If you just got one and are vaping it show a picture of your setup. Make us jealous.
Ok... I'm a tootle puffer too and like MTL. Which Triton coils are best for the Melo III?
Aspire Triton 1.8ohm Kanthal Replacement Coils 5 Pack - $16.00 : Rocky Mountain Vapor, The Mountain top of Electronic Cigarettes
or
Aspire Clapton Coils 1.8ohm for Nautilus/ Mini & Triton Mini - $14.00 : Rocky Mountain Vapor, The Mountain top of Electronic Cigarettes
Thanks.
aren't the triton and triton mini coils different sizes? I have never used the triton mini, but if they ARE different sizes, then you will want to go with the first link...the triton coil
just did some google-fu...you don't want to use the triton mini coil....those are sized like the nautilus coils:
You want to use the full sized triton coil, which is sized like the Atlantis coil:

It is the one thing I seriously dislike about this mod, that darn extension of the battery cap, not only is it aesthetically unappealing (and it is), it is going to limit the toppers you can use and make changing the battery more difficult/impossible with topper on, I just can't see having to disassemble my mod to change a battery. I am with the they should have just made the unit 5.5 mm longer and went with a different battery closure. For me it's a deal breaker which is too bad because I generally like the isticks.
Thanks!
I have a silver pico full kit waiting in my cart at RMV and wanted to know which set of coils to use in the Milo III. Of course those coils in that 1st link are OOS. I'll check with another vendor.
looked around some - seems not a lot out there (must be a hot item)
get that Sega anyvape RBA - looks VERY cool and cheap in long run...
- Anyvape Sega Tank RDA V2 Coil Head 0.5ohm (1 piece) Fits Atlantis and Melo also
- Atomizer Coil for Aspire Eigate Triton Tank
- Aspire Triton/Atlantis Replacement Coil 1.8OHM 5 Pack
The Melo 3 looks interesting but I am already buying 4 different coils for four different tanks! Adding another just seems like overkill! I think I will buy the simple kit and use the tanks I already have!
I am also concerned with the 510 threading. I now have three ISticks that still have battery life but they are so stripped I can't put a tank on them anymore! Granted they are all iStick 20w but I would like to know that the Pico has a great 510!
I also have 4 sizes of batteries of which non are flat tops! Which means also buying new batteries! That 510 connection is really important at this point!
Does anyone know if it is SS?

The pico would still have a smaller profile than the Evic VTC mini if they would have extended the length of the unit 5.5mm instead of just the cap.
I ended up putting heat sinks on all of my isticks so I could still use them because of threads stripping, they might help yours to make them usable again. And I am with you on streamlining coils and batteries, it gets ridiculous and expensive buying multiple types.
Oh oh... one of the tanks I ordered to go with the Pico is the Triton2-Mini. I wonder if it will fit?
What I care about a lot is the overall height of my rig. It's one of the reasons I use only rda's, they are shorter than tanks. I was looking for a side by side arrangement and there are a few but not from any of the major manufacturers. The Pico is close enough that I will give it a go. I have a vtc mini and like it and will keep using it but the Pico form factor makes everything a lot shorter. That appeals to me. May be down the road there wil be a pico 2 that compacts the electronics further so the 510 side can be even shorter. So far the only thing they might have done different is add half a mm to the dimenstions so there is a bit moe room next to the battery cap.
