    I used them before the state of CA went nuts with new laws and shipping bans and restrictions. Now it would cost me ~$30 for shipping plus I'd have to be home with my ID in hand to sign for the package... :facepalm:
    WOW, that sucks, for sure. My shipping was only 4.20....very happy with that, although would have saved about $40-50 going with JC, but I hit that purchase button a tad too soon. Still, 2nd best prices I found. :thumbs:

    Can you cancel your order and reorder to get JC's savings?

    Never buy anything without consulting with @JCinFLA first. She's the Savvy vape Lady (that's what @Uncle calls her ;)) and she knows everything.

    I used to buy my GS Air coils from Rocky Mountain Vapor--but it looks like they went out of business. They had a permanent 30% off discount code turkey something. :lol:

    Good luck!

    Yes, I could, but I've put myself through enough grief, and, with the luck I was having, I would cancel and not be able to get the amount I want from JC's place, but I may put an order in next week for more. Thanks, Little Bird! :wub:
    Yea, used to buy a lot from Rocky Mountain, too.

    Kanger Wholesale had 53 boxes of the 1.2ohm in stock when I posted the link to theirs. :) They still have them! I've found their In Stock numbers have always been correct and updated. 14 boxes @ $5.38 would be $75.32 to your door...with Free S/H.

    14 boxes, when using the 15% off coupon code + $4.20 S/H at Ecig Mafia...would be $97.44! That $22.12 difference is a hefty one. Would be larger if you ordered more than that from EcigMafia.

    I just remembered I have a bunch of (around 6) Eleaf Melo III Mini and Nano tanks stashed in a box (they're for parents).
    I've always just bought regular disposable coils for them; but, might as well get some RBA coils for them (if they exist?) and make them more usable and more future-proof.
    Are there RBA coils for them?
    If yes, where to buy and which ones/brands?

    I also have a few old Kangers that use SSOCC coils... I remember Kanger def had an RBA coil for them too a while back. So, I might as well get those too, if they're even still available/in-stock.
    Also, where to buy these ones?

    Eleaf USA has the ECR rebuildable coil head for the Melo 3. It's not the kind of RBA that has a deck, it more like rebuilding a factory coil, only easier since it was designed to come apart for the purpose of rebuilding.
    ECR Head (5pcs)
    If you never bought from them before, sign up and get a coupon code in your welcome email for 15% off before you place the order.

    I don't know of anyone in the USA that has the Kanger Subtank RBA, but FT does

    Correction: There is a US vendor that has the Subtank RBA, but they are the old version not the "Plus" version. They have the tiny wick holes at the bottom on the deck as opposed to the RBA plus which has the wick holes on the side of the chamber. I don't recommend the old version but some people prefer it. Vaporider.deals is legit.

    Those are the STM v1 RBA Sections.

    They Work Great! If you take a Small Jewelry File and make the e-Liquid Inlet Slots about 50% Wider. And 50% Deeper.

    Just remembered... those OE Eleaf ECR coils will def work with the Melo3 "Mini" (because it has its' own separate chimney and doesn't need the coil's top threads).
    But, it won't work with the "Nano" (which uses the coil's top threads to secure the top-cap, and doesn't have a chimney [it uses the actual coil as a chimney]).

    Any other options for RBA EC coils that have a top thread?
    I found this one:
    $2.79 Replacement Rebuildable RBA Coil Head for Atlantis Clearomizer - 0.5ohm at FastTech - Free Shipping

    But, wondering if there are others or better ones.

    Yes, you're right. That ECR won't work on the Melo 3 nano because it needs the top threading that the ECR doesn't have. That's the breaks. At least you can futureproof your Melo 3 tanks, though.

    I have that Atlantis RBA from FT. I don't know if it will fit in the Nano (but it should), however I don't recommend it. It's really hard to mount a coil on IMHO and it has other minor issues. Read the FT forum threads under the RBA, you'll see what issues it has.

    As far as I know, there are no other RBAs for those Melo 3 tanks other than what has been mentioned.

    JC, you went to SO much trouble for me, I just HAD to go for the deal you found. My eternal thanks, AND my partner was able to get hers at a greatly reduced rate. So you did good deeds for 2 very grateful people.....may you be rewarded likewise....:wub::wub::wub::wub:
     
    I am getting a few last minute orders in- for mods really since I stocked up on RTAs and RDAs way back when. Is there such a thing as a lifetime supply of electronic mods? I have a few mechanical as back-up though.

    I visited my local vape shop- I can't believe my podunk town of 2,000 has one, that has survived whatever government interference (taxes, etc.) and the pandemic- and figure to befriend the owner. He told me to let him know whatever I wanted and he'd try to order it for me, once the vape mail ban goes into effect. I recommend getting familiar your local vape shops. One thing about my little town- everyone is super-friendly, and my vape shop owner is no exception.

    When they are back in stock, I recommend a Wismec Tinker 2. They are waterproof and shockproof. I'll be ordering more too.

    I had other mods, but e-liquid killed them.

    You're very welcome. :) I'm glad both of you were able to get what you wanted and save some money. It wasn't any trouble though, because I really enjoy finding deals for people. It makes the $ they have go further, and that's especially important now. Thank you for your kind words. :wub:

    Just made a new FT order now:
    4* those Atlantis RBAs (no prob... I'm good with coil install techniques, precision grinding and other mechanics, electronics, etc. )
    2* Kanger RBAs
    2* Melo3 Mini glass 5pck

    :)

    Do people really ask that anymore? :pervy: I'm actually good, in the whole world scheme of things. Still vaping a Provari, but I don't build coils anymore. I got lazy and decided a Nautilus was fine. I guess I'll have to start doing that again. Sigh. I hope things are well with you.
    I just went and bought almost 400 Nautilus Coils.
    That should last a few years.
    I hope that they don't have a Shelf Life, lol.
    I'm trying to hold off on coil building as long as possible, heh (I'm lazy too).
