Didn't want to wait on my China shipment through cvapor.com, so I ordered an iStick 30W from vaporbeast.com yesterday for $39.14 shipped. Scheduled to arrive on Monday according to USPS tracking...Much better purchase experience.

What I meant is that the coil for this MELO tank looks very similar to the coil used in Atlantis, so I am wondering if an Atlantis coil can be used in this tank. My MELO still is in transit, but I did buy an Atlantis coil yesterday so that I can test compatibility right away when the tank arrives.

Will need to work on backups. I still have my Tornado battery (still works great after 3+ years), and my twist (can be flaky). But, assuming I like the iStick30 when it arrives, I was planning on immediately ordering another. From this input, I may go for two more instead. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and advice!!

Awesome post! I can relate a little,jonnoh...Thanks! Glad you found a safer "fix" in vaping, and I think that i will also

Yeah, I am not a licorice person, so right there I am probably tapping out.

I agree that it is a good article, and that there were a number of points not touched upon. Missed points or not though, having a credible publication like Forbes put out information that can open the eyes of other is a move in the right direction. I know people that have read the formaldehyde stuff and more recently the CA health risk propaganda, and have instantly knee-jerked to comdemning the users of vaping devices.

It sure LOOKS cool...What is the flavor? Didn't see any description on the website. Wonder what they use for the coloring...

I am at maybe 15-20ml per week now while still smoking my cigars. I expect that to go up once my sub-ohm tank arrives, and then to go up again within a couple days after that when I drop the cigars.

Lots of great ideas here.. I am going to have to order some to try out. I have only tried maybe 2-dozen different flavored juices, so my opinion may have very limited merit. But, a great ADV is the Solar Flare (pomegranate and lemonade) from Moon Mountain. The flavor is spot-on and just different from other things I have tried. One caveat is that it is a flavor that you can get used to and not find as flavorful after a couple days, so I usually use it for two days and then take a day off in favor of something creamy to break it up a bit. EDIT: For some reason, when I reply it wants to put my post into a quote. Been on tons of forums over the last 15+ years and never seen this, so not sure what I am doing wrong.

Stopped by a local shop today and picked up a couple atomizer heads for my Mini Protank 3, and 15ml of Moon Mountain's "Planet of the Dead" (creamy frosted berry blend). While I was there, I grabbed an atomizer head for an Aspire Atlantis, which I will use to see if it is compatible with the Eleaf MELO tank when it arrives.

Just lookin' out!

Great information...Thanks, Earthling!

I am a n00b that is seeing batteries of the same type in widely varying mAh ratings. 18650, for example. If the device takes an 18650 battery, is there any restriction on what mAh rating that can be used? I see in the VaporTalk store that there are 18650 batteries ranging from 1600mAh to 3200mAh. How do I know which would be safe or preferred to use?

Biggest problem at that point would be lemmings running around figuring out how to get cancer.

Beware...All that separates you is Tennessee

Is there any way from specs to tell if an Atlantis will be interchangeable? If not, I may order and test. Someone's got to...Right?

From what I have read, the iStick 30W corrects this issue with a spring-loaded setup.

Yeah, it kind of does. I don't personally have a broad range of experiences with trying a bunch of different setups, so I will probably like it a lot even if it is not that good lol. One concern I have at this point is that I am not sure where/how to get replacement atomizer heads. I don't see anywhere that lists what type they use, though it does look a lot like the Atlantis coil. Same part possibly?

Anyone tried one of these yet? I have ordered one along with my iStick 30W, and while I wait on the items to arrive, I am interested in hearing any opinions that other people may have. I've read a number of good things about the Eleaf LEMO tank, but no real info available about the MELO that I have seen.

Hi, Tam...Thanks for the welcome! It's not that I am having trouble so much as I haven't been really trying. I used to smoke about a pack a day of full strength menthols, and quit completely for two years. Then, one day I decided to start smoking the occasional clove. Been that way now for like 2-1/2 years, where I smoke like 3-6 cloves per day. Mostly at work, or while having a couple beers. As for the juice, I have mostly been using 18mg 50/50. More recently, I started getting 12mg 50/50, but will probably at least temporarily jump back to 18mg if I like this new rig and drop the cloves completely. My juice brand of preference so far is Moon Mountain (http://www.moonmountainvapor.com/ ... hope links are not prohibited). They are smooth hitting, the mix is always consistent, and the flavors are spot-on. I think the reason I am thinking of quitting the smokes at this point is convenience. They don't sell them very many places, so it just makes sense to drop them.

Hey all...Just signed up to do some reading and learn a bit more. Figured I'd say hello and do a little intro post. Been casually vaping for a couple years to reduce smoking. Haven't smoked cigarettes for a few years, but do still have a few clove cigars each day. Started vapor with a Totally Wicked Tornado kit that I picked up at a local shop. That lasted for a while, but was never a real great vapor producer. Then, last summer I picked up a Ego twist battery and a tank that was a knockoff of a Kanger Evod. The tank seemed to cause me to burn up atomizer heads really quickly, so I picked up a ProTank3 Mini around November and have been having more enjoyment since. For a couple weeks now, I have been having questionable charging (dies quickly some days, but not others) with the Ego twist. Started doing some reading, and seems like the Eleaf iStick 30W is a good and fairly cheap upgrade option. Ordered one the other day, as well as the MELO tank that Eleaf apparently recommends to pair up with it. Hoping that they arrive in the next couple days. Well, that sums up my vape history. If the new setup works as well as I hope, I will be shooting for dropping the smoking completely in the next week or two. Looking forward to learning some more! Main question I have at this point is if anyone has used the MELO tank? I have not even seen many vendors carrying it, and searching forums has also not turned up much information thus far. I sort of bought it blindly since it was "recommended" and priced just under $20, just to see what the difference would be when using the 0.5 ohm resistance.
