Having a stock of spare parts comes in handy at times - case in point: Eleaf Mello3-Mini.
After a few refill attempts with the M3M and CCell I was experiencing juice leak out of the air holes. Being a top fill tank without juice flow control this was somewhat expected. However given that I rarely (if ever) use premade coils I tore the M3M down to fit it with an Anyvape RBA.
There are a few different versions of the RBA, one having small slits (ala STM1) for juice channels was not getting enough juice flow to feed my vaping so since I had the more open version laying about and not in use, I simply swapped hoods and reoriented the silica rope/wick to cover the juice holes before reassembly.
While the larger juice holes fixed the flow problem (little M3M was clouding well) no matter how quick I'm at filling and turning the mod/tank upside down (to rebalance the tank) I'm getting juice running out the drip tip. Not much, but enough to leave a few drips on whatever was below the drip tip when I inverted it. I'll blame this on the wicking I have in the RBA and while the amount of juice in the tank is not visibly effected, as long as I know the setup does this, it won't surprise me and I can simply expect it to happen.
After sitting normally overnight there was no juice to be found in the air ring on the bottom and a few dry pulls indicated the coil was not flooded. Cool.
For this little RBA I wound 8 wraps 29AWG NiFe70/30 and wicked with silica rope. Decent (but not spectacular) air flow, hits as good as a many of my other replaceable factory coil (with RBA option) tanks do but as expected not as good as a true RTA.
I had a Atlantis2 sitting in the spare parts but which I outfitted with the Ni CCell. When a topper spot frees up I'll give it a good run. I always liked the Atlantis, just did not like the bottom fill and small capacity. The CCells have a unique taste - different. If they last as long as some folks say they do it might find a spot some day.

That's what I'm talkin' about. My Pico, if it ever comes, will have an SV dripper on top. How are you getting along with that setup? Do you carry it that way out and about?
guys how is the pico compared to sx mini m class when it comes to TC? I'm planning to get one. the sx mini is a bit heavy for everyday use that's why I'm thinking of replacing it. thank you.
The weight matters to me too! As the arthritis sets in and my MD advances the weight of a mod is important! I am thinking that the fact that the Pico is shorter and wider, the weight will be balanced out OK!
I'm still waiting on pink but might go ahead and move on the silver!

101 Vape has the Pink full kit.
With my arthritis the Pico doesn't bother it at all. It's not slippery and that's important to me.
I am such a hold out! I really want just the simple kit and RMV is hard to beat! They should have the pink any day now! Waiting, waiting, waiting!
I want the pink simple kit, too!! I am happy with my tanks that I already have and am not interested in starting up having to keep another kind of coil in stock.
I am holding out for Rocky Mountain - should be any time now.
