Hello. First post here...looking for some advise. I've been using a Nautilus Mini on an Aspire CFVV+ battery for a while now. I keep the battery at 4.2V and the airflow on the 2nd largest setting, and I vape 18mg of nicotine. I ordered an Eleaf istick 30w this weekend, mostly for the convenience of the longer-lasting battery and the variable wattage. While researching the istick, I came across the Melo sub ohm tank. It had decent reviews, and I figured for $20 I might as well try a sub ohm tank (it uses 0.5 ohm coils similar to the Aspire Atlantis). I've read that you should use a lower nicotine level with a sub ohm coil. I do mostly mouth-to-lung hits (I can do throat hits with my current setup, but I find it harsh). I'm not looking for huge clouds, just a nice flavorful vape. My question is, what nicotine level should I use for mouth-to-lung hits on the Melo that will be comparable to 18mg on my current setup. I mix my own juice, so I can make any nicotine level I want (not just stuck to common vape store levels). I was going to mix up some 18mg for my Nautilus tomorrow, so I can make some lower nicotine juice for the Melo at the same time.

Melo probably isn't the tank for mouth to lung. Perhaps it could be done on it's smallest airflow setting, but generally these subohm tanks are for clouds.
I would say at least step down to 12. 6 would probably be better.

I was vaping at 24 mgs on a dual coil vv spinner and with the Istick and Melo tank I vape at 12mgs on it and it's great. It will be trial and error with getting the wattage and whatnot to your liking, but personally I love the same equipment you're about to get and have been able to step down my mgs. Also if your local vape shop doesn't carry the Melo coils, the aspire sub ohms will fit the Melo and rewicking is very easy. Just check out a YouTube video on rewicking the aspire sub ohm coils.
Thanks for the quick replies! I was thinking 12mg, and you two just confirmed it. I'll mix up a 10ml bottle of 12mg, and if it is too strong I'll put it in a larger bottle and dilute with some VG. Who knows, maybe I'll like the lung hits with the lower nic level and new setup. If not, I love my Nautilus anyway and I'm only out 20 bucks.
An update now that I've been using the istick and Melo tank for a few days. I'm loving both. BigEgo was right, the Melo is not a tank for mouth hits, but I am enjoying the lung hits much more than I did previously with my Nautilus tank. It's very smooth. Not harsh at all. I use my Nautilus tank on the istick when I leave the house so that I'm not fogging out the rest of the world, and it works great as well. I mixed my juice at 12mg for both tanks, and I like it. Not too strong on the Melo, and not too weak on the Nautilus.
Does anyone know how to disassemble the Melo? I hadn't used it for a couple of weeks and now can't it apart to refill. I have tried running it under hot water, letting it soak and my next solution will be pliers. Any suggestions?
My Melo went into the Garbage. Bought a new aspire mini. Works great. No issues getting it apart.
