New Vape Unit

[Raikan007]

Morning gents, I am new here (1st post) I am sure you get this a lot, however, I need guidance, I am but a young padawan

So I had the Esense stick for like 6 months, that was rubbish, last month I bought the Eleaf Just S and it auto fired and nearly burnt down my house! I am getting a full refund for the unit.

So I want to upgrade a little, but not much.

I would like your assistance, keep the following in mind however:

1) I am a noob and will not build anything (no coils etc)
2) I like big clouds but want taste as well (I prefer both being good, not one over the other)
3) My budget is R1000 max! My missus is already going to kill me, but I will survive
4) I don't want to speed through juice/coils. I usually go through around 60ml a month and around 2 coils. Don't want to spend a fortune

I have heard only good things about the Istick Pico & Melo 3 tank

This seems to suit my needs perfectly.

I will take advice on mod and atomiser combinations (taking into account my needs as stated above) The pico and serpent/goblin seem to be the best after doing research. But I am open to suggestions across the board/range/companies of mods/atomisers.

I would like the best bang for buck setup one can have I am an efficient guy

Kind regards,
Neil

I think there is a ceramic option as well, I'm currently using the rebuildable could

Could I use these?

I see there is an Eleaf ECL (nickle) coil that says that it is used for adjustable mods?
Can the standard ones also be used?

Hi i found the 0.3 coils much better than the 0.5 as far as cloud and flavour goes.I find changing the coils every four five days insted of a week better any more than that the taste goes bland,hope this helps.

@Rob Fisher @Stosta

Thank you kindly for your all your assistance! Sir Vape is where I get all my stuff from, they just refunded me for the Just S now. I will get these coils from them directly.

 

[blackheart]

And yes ECL 0.3 work as well.

What was wrong with the ijust S?

I find with the ijust tank, the juice cannot be absorbed fast enough
so I tighten the tank, then just break it loose and that solves the air lock type problem.
I would assume the melo would be a similar issue?

I have 2 ijust S units and not once suffered with airlock issues,but my melo3 and melo3 mini suffered from it so much that I sold both of them,now I'm happy with my 2 x ijust S to carry around and my baby beast to enjoy at home after a long days work,once I go back to work

The S is apparently a lot better, I have the ijust 2 tanks they airlock.
Even with the rebuildable coil.

Pretty much that, burnt my entire unit. Melted the top and it burnt my fingers when I tried to pick it up. Have blisters. It was over 100 degree's. Burnt a mark on my wooden coffee table. completely bombed out.

please be aware of this, it could have been worse, it was in the morning and I was playing ps4

For an extra R100 I could get this instead? Comes with the battery as well? Is this newer or older than the Pico and is it better or worse?

They sold out bud!

They sold out bud!

Called Craig now, they arrive tomorrow. Hopefully will have a price for them. He said they would be around the same. Hopefully less as the exchange rate was pretty low a few weeks ago when the order was placed I assume.

 

[Raikan007]

Anyone on the istick Pico Mega units? Better than the standard Pico?

I will have to order the Pico so courier costs and battery comes to around R1050. I can drive and collect the Mega for R1160 which has the battery included and it is a larger battery.

Thanks

 

[AhVape]

Mega sounds like a good deal

I would personally stick to the normal Pico. I suppose I just prefer the smaller form factor and the fact that it takes the 18650s that I can pretty much get anywhere.

But I think it all comes down to preferences. The best thing you could do if you're undecided is to go into the store and hold both. one of them should jump out at you!

The Mega is a lot larger but still only takes the same size tank as the regular Pico.
IMO the beauty of the pico is its size and if it was my money, I wouldnt go Mega just for the added batt capacity.

Side by side in French which gives a reasonbly good idea

 

[Soutie]

Another note on the mega is that the USB is underneath the mod. If you are going to be using the mod to charge the battery, it is going to be painful , Bit of a design flaw IMO

Nice work!!! (Although my work firewall won't let me see it)

You must keep us updated on whether we gave you good information or not! If it's a winner, I like the credit, if it sucks, then I had nothing to do with it and you can blame @AhVape !
