    I did manage to get it down to a science, but the 2.1 doesn't see much use these days and I have been spoiled by properly working top fill RTAs such as the GEM.

    I also couldn't stand the 2.1's snotty nose gurgling it used to do until the air way was clear. :glare:
    Never had any issues with mine! But I do adopt unloved KF's!

    I looked at the v3 "giant" because I like the v3 minis, but unfortunately, I don't have a single mod that takes a 24 mm tank.

    Seems silly, to buy a mod just to fit a tank, and a rx200 seems silly for a Kayfun. Any suggestions?

    Eleaf Istick 60w looks good with the giant tanks.

    Yeah... I like the Melo RBA, and the eGo ONE CLR heads. The iSub RBA is peetty good, too. Not a fan of coil heads I cannot tweak after the build, and those that use microscopic screws. The Triton RBA is the worst, and the Cubis RBA is not far behind.

    I use the cubis RBA and I just ignore the little screw and setup without the bend and straight down through the insulator like a normal coil rebuild. :p

    Built my first coil with the Triton RTA today and stuck it in my Melo 3. Vaping along at 1.53 ohms with the Pico at 12 watts. Also worked well on the Glovari, but, oddly enough, doesn't work at all on the VTC mini. Get zero ohm reading. I wonder if the connection is somehow different.

    I kinda like the Triton RBA head. I know there are some comments that are less than supportive, but now that I've figured it out, I get a pretty decent vape from it.

    I tried with Clapton wire, but that was a bit of a bust. I'm happy with 26 or 28g kanthal (or 28g SS, as that's the wildest I have....)

    I've run it in both my Melo III and my Atlantis 2. I do have some Melo RBAs en route from FastTech. I'll be curious to compare....

    You, Sir, are the "Epitome of Enabling" :sneaky:

    I'm with @Krisma - just about ANYTHING looks good on the iStick TC60 :)
    Did someone say enabling? OK, admittedly 200w is a bit extreme for tootle puffing, but MFS has the IPV5 200w on sale for $42.00 right now.:cool:

    A Pico and Melo 3 Mini followed me home from the B&M the other day. My pride prevents me for saying what I paid! I doubt I will ever use the Melo. The Pico is pretty sweet.

    I was an early adopter of the iStick 20, my first "real" mod and it was a nasty bit of crap. Actually my only vape purchase that I regret. It is possessed sometime misfiring, sometimes firing at well above the set wattage. I never bought another eLeaf product.

    Well I am pleased to see eLeaf has improved immensely. The Pico is well made, beautifully finished and provides a quality vape. I prefer the shorter wider form factor. I doubt it is possible to make an 18650 mod much shorter. In hand feel is good, not as good as the KSD 18350 Vamo box but I am nervous about total commitment to 18350 bats.

    Going to give it a few more days but as of now Pico is a big win and I will better getting a few. :D

    Oh, I wanted one those KSD 18350 Vamo boxes so bad. By the time I discovered them they're all gone! Out of stock everywhere. Missed it! Aaaaaarrrg!

    Oh, I really like the Melo tank. It's a great size, and I just snagged a bunch of coils from FT for it..... It's very airy when wide open. I don't close off airflow very often.....

    Enjoy! It is way too airy for me, I can't see the AFC ring staying where I put it either.

    The size is decent but I don`t get 2 ml tanks, my dripper holds more, never leaks, is top fill.

    My favorite atty is the Achilles V2 :wub: and I have at least lifetime supply. :w00t:

    :lol: Thanks pokemom you remembered. :D
    I am glad too because it is a very suitable mod for me and I would not have bought one sight unseen because of the bad experience with the iSick 20. :smokie:

    :p:p:p

    I have been watching all the comments and I like it a lot (dont own one yet but close) the new brushed SS and the all black look beautiful. Hopefully all the others will be on special when the new ones finally hit the shelves.

    I know, I got that feeling after we "spoke" that you wanted to hold it and see it in person first.

    I really like mine, as I said before. I hope that this is a positive experience for you too!
