Your atty (tank) is where it's all at. All your flavour and 90% of your vape experience stemms from it.
Mods, be it smok or other, is pretty much pick what fits your budget and looks good to you. There are differences in how customizable and fancy they are etc, but honestly you'll mostly just...
Pitty Pretoria is a bit of a drive for you as Vapecon is end of the month and you'd be able to get things at crazy discounts.

Ok, so not a dedicated MTL setup then.
For straight out the box with pre-built coils available I'd say any smok device with the big baby beast. Alien, G-Priv or T-Priv.
A step up would be the Smok Spiral plus or a Crown III.
Pure RTA's good options are the Serpent SMM, Engine Nano, Ammit 25...
What are your airflow preferences? You say you are currently favoring a MTL style but are going towards a restricted DTL style right? Do you have the Melo full open, or a bit closed? On your friends V8 stick, did you enjoy the extra airflow or not so much?

Yup, you have started your journey down the rabbit hole...
Yeah, get your friend vaping and snag yourself an upgrade.
I'm assuming you're not looking to drop a bundle on some premium gear right away.
Maybe look at the Alien220 kit with the TFV8 then get a rebuildable deck. Tried and tested...
Yup,
RDA isn't for you then at this stage. Don't drip and drive
Also keep in mind that the best thing you can do for flavour is kicking the stinkies totally. Easier said than done, I know. Juices that tastes like vague nothing when I started are complex and jummy now a few weeks later.

My 2c:
The Melo tanks and EC coils are not great. A 5/10 in flavour at best. (Stay away from the triton coils, they taste like an old tyre *shudder*) Maybe give the ceramics a try, however don't expect a night and day difference.
The Pico is a great little mod, however restricted as it only...
So a distributor popped up on my Faceballs feed called flavour world. They are selling TFA concentrates at R27 a pop for 10ml.
"Too good to be true" springs to mind.
Anyone have any info/dealing with these guys?

Agreed. Clones are good, half my DIY recipes are clones of premium juices.
Like with your KFC example, there isn't an issue with someone selling fried chicken, the issue is that someone in a flea market is selling a supposedly KFC bucket of chicken for R30 vs R200. It looks similar, it tastes...
Also something that hasn't been mentioned is the Melo's chronic tendency to create an Airlock.
Basically not enough air is able to get into the tank and replace the used up juice creating a vacuum. So the cotton isn't getting enough juice and flavour is crap. You'll notice if after a few hits...
There is no right or wrong answer here bud. The higher you crank it up the more clouds and to a degree flavour you will get technically. HOWEVER going too high you will just cook your juice and burn your cotton as the wicking can't keep up and you'll get dry hits. I fell in the same trap and...
The short of it is that the guys putting out the clones are ripping off a known brand and emulating it for as cheap as they can. They are not putting pride and accountability into their product, otherwise they would do their own line. There is a huge spectrum these clones can fall under, from an...
@Eisenhorn I have these coils and think will test them out today being stainless. Any advice in temp mode? Do I just set it to Temp SS or do I have to play with M1 functions? Whats your recommended settings for temp etc that you use?
Just chuck it in SS Temp mode, set it to 60W (4 clicks)...
Heya,
I was in an identical boat to you 4 months ago and also started with the Pico, your experience is almost identical to mine.
The Melo tank and the coils are not great. I found the 0.18 ECL coils in temp mode the best compromise.
I fixed my problem by buying a 22mm rebuildable dripper...
The entire shop seems to be on "Sale", with no difference in prices. Also no stock of local juices. Warning bells!
95% chance it's fake, very old or at best stolen (or any combination of the above).
Fake juice isn't a game and has landed people in hospital.
You could lose more than you can...
Thanks @CMMACKEM
Got some mini aliens for my 22 RDA and some framed staple aliens for my Serpent SMM from @Smilelykummeenit already, and they are really amazing.

Good to know there are a few other options available though.

Placed my second order with BLCK VAPOUR early this morning. Was very surprised just now when the receptionist called to say I had a delivery. BLCK and Courier managed to Deliver my order within 7 hours of me placing it.
I didn't know service like this was even possible, never mind achievable...
Agreed that there is no "best" coil... It's like asking what is the "best" car. Different strokes for different folkes and all that.
I want to try some premium exotic coils to get that end of the spectrum. Done.
After I'm tired with those I'll have a go at basic diy coils and see what that is...
