You actually have less than 1mm clearance between the tank and the battery knobby protrusion with the Melo 3.

Thanks for the info, can you also confirm on the TFV4 Micro when you have the chance, this is the particular tank that Wismec warned has a longer threads/pin than their 510, if that sits perfectly flush without force this would be awesome.

The TFV4 sits nice and flush, like it was made for the pico.
I should be specific, the TFV4 micro sits flush one the Pico.

Awesome, thanks a bunch for the info
Top threads of the Melo3 are not used so the Triton or eleaf RBA or Saucecode/anyvape RBA coil would work nicely. The Freemax and Vapeston RBA "should" work too but that bottom pin of the RBA coil may be a tad too long or short for the Melo3 base. Since I do not have the melo3 yet I am not sure.

Sounds like good logic to me.Mini Volt seemed to have stopped working today, used it as an excuse to quickly order a pico, then I got the Mini Volt running again... I don't regret my quick reaction
Same tank/coil? Same settings and all that jazz?
That's why I haven't done a side by side.
The only duplicates I have are iSubs, and only the VTC has puff/time counters.
I'm afraid the first couple of passes would be entirely subjective.
But then again... I am asking for opinions.
I have a lot of mods, but even accounting for "wearing off the shiny"... it feels as though the PICO's efficiency is lacking. I expect a close match to the rest of this chip family's offerings.
It doesn't "feel" like I'm getting that.
I'm getting comparable time compared to my IPV D3, on 1.2 coils (Crown & Artic). Not a fan of the Melo's.That's why I haven't done a side by side.

Well, I don't seem to be doing as well.
I've used the iSubs and now the Bellus (all usually around 35w in TC) and I'm flatting batteries faster than I can blink.
Hmmm... hyperbole.
Sounds like something may be off with your mod. My Pico lasts just as long as my VTCs using the same batteries. I've run the Pico with the same LG HG2 and Samsung 25R batteries I use in my VTCs and they seem to last just as long. I haven't seen this issue reported elsewhere. Let's hope this is a one off problem and not a common issue. I had an IPV Mini a while back that started draining batteries out of the blue. It just sucked them dry, so I know this can be a real thing. No idea what causes it.Well, I don't seem to be doing as well.

What P/V % mix? Cause I can't get the damn thing to wick 20/80, and it works fine in my Super tank mini's, that have a more open chimney over the feed holes.
All my DIY mixes are max vg. The cCell .9ohm coil came with the vaporesso tanks. The ss316 .5ohm just got them about 2 weeks and is more for my style and more airflow. I notice with the coils after running them, on the 2nd liquid re-fill is when they shine with burst of flavor. I also run the coils on the melo v2 and the supertank. The ss316 settings on the pico is 36w @ 490F

Yeah, coils work fine on the Melo 2. But the Melo 3, I just watch the air bubble develop and sit there between the coil and chimney, while I get a dry hit.
On the melo v3 is tricky, coil needs to sit tight on the base, then you can't over tighten when connecting to the tank and the o-ring inside the tank that the top part of the coil rest have to be well seal. Once I figure it out they both work good for me. Hope this help.
Thanks. I'll look at that.
The Tfv4 micro heads are differant from the others , I picked up 5 SS DUAL .5 from vapenw for 11.99 everywhere else is 4.50 to 5.99 for the same coils . So it was a decent deal for me ....though the Clapton coil that came with the tank is still going strongInteresting. Do the original TFV4 heads and decks fit?
It's not actually widely available. Any good deals you know of?
I don't have or keep up with the TFV4... is this a brand new model?
How was the weather today? Read any good books lately?
Sorry... got on a roll there.

Love the Pico...The Micro Smok tank is perfect for it. As well as the V2 Herk+...Man I hate to say it but my evic mini's have been in the back seat ever since I put my hand on the Pico lol....I love to go to my local B&M and show them the new shit when it hits the market...

I am about to place my order with vapeNW and was wondering what type of battery I would need. Already have a button top 18650, but it is classified as "unprotected" ... whatever than means..... Is it likely to work, or should I order another battery? Thanks everyone for this great thread.

I just ordered a Micro Smok tank kit with a 5 pack of stainless tc coils for it at www.ecig.com should be awesome in temp mode...
My favorite cell for these mods is the LG HG2. The LG HE4 or Samsung 25R are also good choices. Just make sure to buy your batteries from somewhere that you know sells genuine cells. There are lots of fake batteries on eBay and even in some B&M shops.
Agree on the battery (I have a handful) but not on the price, we're being gouged.
Compared to the stronger 20A 25Rs or HE4s at $5, we get 15-17% more runtime, but pay a 60% premium for it
That's not a smokin' deal.
Little better deal here Jim...I feel your pain, we are being gouged. Problem for me with Liion is I like to grab batts when ordering other vape shit, but they are are the cheapest place to get em....

Has nothing to do with LiIon, the ballpark $5 is common to most all of our top 5 or 6 trusted vendors. So is the 7 or 8 bucks for the HGs. But I take your point.
And yeah... I've ordered several $9 pairs of HE4s from eCig back last fall.
He's a madman.
If I was ever going to buy a DNA Reuleaux... I should have grabbed one of his for $120.

Are these the same ones you have coming? http://www.ecig.com/smok-micro-tfv4-coil-5-pack-stc2.html
If so, I believe they're .25's....
Yes those are the ones I got for 11.99 , that's a great price on a 5 pack there

Can anyone who got the kit with the Melo 3 tank confirm that it uses the same coils as the same coils as the iJust 2 tank? Eleaf's EC coils. And has anyone happened to have used both the iJust 2 tank and the Melo 3, and could speak to how they compare?
It uses the same coils as the Atlantis/Eleaf/Vaporesso/Tobeco my Melo 2 and Tobeco Supertank mini uses.

Thanks! Was asking for a friend, since as a rebuilding guy the world of stock coils is a strange and confusing place to me! 
I finally fired up the Melo3 yesterday.
I'll have to start looking into alternate heads and especially RBAs so I can SS TC.
I'm liking the tank quite a lot, but let's be honest... 50w+ on the included 0.3 (rated to 80w) and probably a tad higher if I get around to the 0.5 (rated to 100w) is not what I intend for all day use of my 75w mods.
And in a 2ml tank? Thank FSM for convenient top-fill.
Ima start calling it "the TFV4 Effect".

So true. That's one of the reasons why I skipped the full kit and ordered a Bachelor Nano for this mod. Tracking says it will be here Tuesday.
It's also 2ml, but it shouldn't run dry as fast as the Melo3. I just hope it's a decent vape and doesn't leak or spit back. I've been running the full sized Bachelor with a .97Ω SS 28/32g Clapton at 25w 400º. The battery last a pretty long time but the full sized tank is just too tall. Can't wait to get a tiny tank on this mod.

I've been waiting for the B Nano to hit the shelves domestically (probably Eciggity again) and it's just about time. Can't get much easier top-fill than those TFV4 style pinned caps (ok, we have a couple now with a rotating cap to open a juice hole... that's easier).
And either it or some alternate heads for the M3M better happen quick... it's been a day and I'm becoming quite enamored with this little tank.

What alternative head Jim? You know Atantis/Triton/Vaporesso heads fit them right?I've been waiting for the B Nano to hit the shelves domestically (probably Eciggity again) and it's just about time.

My wife's came in yesterday, and with the GS tank like @Whiskey 's, it's smaller than her istick 40TC for purse toting.
That's what I meant, especially available RBA options.
(I haven't jumped on the Ceramic bandwagon yet)
I just have to go back and re-read the several PICO threads here and "there" to start putting a list together.
But I'm being lazy about it.

Just wanted to give a report on the Smok Micro tank and the Pico. I'm running the .25 SS TC coils and everything is running smooth. The Pico even reads the coil at .25 which I'm not used to. Usually the crown and herk+ coils very so much from whats marked on them...l would have to say anyone lookin for a nice little tank(but comes with 3 different size glass) for their Pico, l would definitely recommend the Micro Smok....

Just letting you guys know, eleaf just introduced two new colors, Full Black and Brushed Silver, which look much neater and cooler than the previous IMO, check it out ...
