I will check if there is a thread on this tank (EDIT: Wow, practically nothing in ECF about this tank o_O), but does anyone know anything about the Ceravape Cerabis 45 tank? I just saw this in rose gold: $25.47 Authentic Ceravape Cerabis 45 Sub Ohm Tank Clearomizer - 2.5ml / stainless steel + glass / 0.5ohm(40-60W)/1ohm(30-50W) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping I'm thinking this would look awesome on the black/bronze Pico. :wub:

Also, in the 3rd photo, they show this type of ceramic coil: https://www.fasttech.com/product/4992201 I've seen mention of this coil here before (somewhere?), but I don't know how this would be applied in the Cerabus tank or whether they are any good. Can anyone chime in on these and let me know if they are good, bad, or eh?

I'm not buying a bronze Pico until I know what tank I want on it, so the search continues... ;)

Debbie, I can't speak for the tank, but personally after some negative articles I've read, I'm not a fan of ceramic coils. I know some love them, and tout good flavor etc. But I've seen for myself, that some ceramics can break down. I've chosen to stick with rayon, and cotton. Good luck.

Not sure if its the pictures or not but it sure looks to me like the color of the pico is copper not bronze.I have tried to color match metallic colors before and if they don't match exactly it sets off my OCD. ;)

Hahahaha! Why do you think that I'm spending ridiculous amount of time trying to find a tank to match it? OCD (although it's not an official diagnosis)! :w00t: I like things to be matchy-matchy, which drives my husband nuts. LOL! I saw a photo of one of those new Picos with a clearly (bright) gold tank and I hated it (OMG, that's the one, @Vinnybagodoughnuts !!!). Copper is more of a rose gold-type of color to me, so hence my rose gold search.

I came across a YouTube vid of a Kanger box mod being used with SS coils in temp mode and began testing my units again. I was able to get the Kanger and Eleaf running in the temp mode. At this time the coil is switching between .29 and .39 ohms so time to change coils again. I'm not used to the higher resistance values of the SS wire.

I removed the coils and decided to do some cleaning and discovered the brass screw at the bottom of the tank near the threads was loose. I tightened it since it was loose and seemed to remove coil resistance problems I was having.
I used a spaced 26 gauge wire, 2 coils and a resistance of .33 ohms. I'll wick it and see how it works.

These copper-trimmed Picos are beginning to be a little too much trouble to match. Might just stick with a plain black tank. :mad:

That's it, I've given up the rose gold search and decided to pick up a black & silver Pico (I've got plenty of tanks to match that already) from the FT CNY sale, instead of the black & bronze one. I somehow never picked up the black-silver, as I already have the all-black version w/ the all black Melo III (of which, I am NOT a fan :nah:). As it is too damned difficult to find a 22mm/23mm single-coil RTA (still on the fence with the KF Mini) or clearomizer with a good RBA in rose gold to fit the Pico, I am no longer giving in to my matchy-matchy OCD with the bronze! o_O :shock:

I am eyeing the White and Bronze Pico with the matching tank. Has anyone tried the Ceramic coils for the IJust/Melo? An ECR coil rewicked with Rayon is also not bad in a Melo tank. My 3rd option is using the Estoc coils with a sleeve in the Melo tank. I want a matching tank and I think one of those options should work for me!

DebbieNY, do you not like a white tank? That's what I am thinking I will get for the white and bronze pico. I want the pico really badly, but it would bug me to not match the trim correctly by using silver, brass, or gold. Fortunately the tanks I like to use most do come in white. Hope you like whatever you decide on!

I do and I have a couple, but they have silver trim... Not matchy-matchy! :lol:

I'm not sure how you like to vape. I like MTL and am very happy with Ego One tanks with the rebuildable CLR coils.
They do make an all white, no silver trim, and this is what I am planning on using with the white/bronze Pico. Just an example, and might not be at all what you are looking for. But the Ego One tanks with rebuildable coils are getting a lot of attention lately. Both 4 ML and 2 ML tanks are available. In our house we have 12 of these tanks going and have only replaced ONE coil. All other maintenance has only been burning and re-wicking with rayon. We're FRUGAL! :lol::lol::lol:
Anyway, I think I can live with the combo and not have my "match-matchy" OCD kick in. We'll see, haven't bought the new Pico yet.
Looks like Sweet Vapes has the mod only bronze Picos in stock now. I'm looking for a coupon or another place with the mod only. I don't need the Melo III tank that comes in the kit.
Here are the tanks, JUST IN CASE you're interested.

@Nanny22 , I may do that, as I have a couple of Tron tanks already (pearly white, black, & red w/ my Evic VTC Mini Kits) and am expecting my month-old Heaven Gifts order with my stainless and black Mega V2s to show up any day now.

I really love the Pico's form factor and size. It's a perfect everyday mod for me and is easy to carry. I've already got the stainless, all black, pink, and grey (with a black/silver one on order), so what's a few more? :w00t: Fasttech is running a CNY sale right now and they do have the mods only. After coupon, they're $23.54!

Umm, apparently I also bought a silver Pico somewhere along the way that I had completely forgotten about and I didn't list the white one that I've been using daily :facepalm:, which brings my Pico family to 7... Is an intervention necessary or should I be tested for Alzheimers? :oops: :eek:

Yeah, no bronze ones are needed... I'm good! :lol:

Well, you gotta have one for every day of the week, and some spares just to be on the safe side ;-)
