Eleaf ECR head adapted for MTL vaping

[domesticextremist]

Just "regular" Triton coils from my local B+M shop.
Problem is they cannot be rebuilt.
However, if you can stopper down the end cap on a Eleaf EC or ECR head, as described above, then you can rebuild to whatever Ohms float your boat and save quite a few shillings over the long run.
I was frustrated with my Melo III mini, now I'm delighted.

I may have to resort to DIY at some point 😐
Unfortunately the stoppering down stuff was way beyond my head I'm afraid :-((

Lol yes I know but from what I've been able to find the highest is 0.75ohms ☹

Hmm. I'd like to say "forget the ohms" but maybe you have a point.

Not sure on this one. Personally, I forget the ohms. In my world the expression Sub-ohm is as interesting as a Cat with it's paws on the world supply of marshmallows... it's almost meaningless. The only fly in the ointment is some lower resistance coils won't vape gently enough.

I like marshmallows 😀 Way more than I'm currently liking my Pico!!

I want simple, stress free, easy. At least until I figure out what I'm doing lol

1.8 triton coils as per request lesley1 you may find them cheaper elsewhere but these are the one's that fit your tank www.vapourandecig.co.uk/collections/atomizers-cartridges/products/replacement-coils-for-aspire-triton-trtion-2-tanks-kanthal

if you do get them from here remember to use the code AAEC10TY (the forum discount code)

Thank you! Thank you!

There certainly is a learning curve for vaping lesley1 .... unlike a match and cigarette.... but I assure you it's worth it.
We're here to try to hold anyones hand that needs advice, to the best of our abilities and shared knowledge.

I hope so 🙂 It's feeling a bit like an obstacle course at the moment. One step forward 23.5 (random amount) back 😕

You can;t get much better and stress free than a Pico for a beginning mod. I would read the instructions, I was impressed with how simple they are. The Melo 3 is a good tank and I would put to one side in case you ever get into sub ohming, sell if you don't.

Keep saying your using a an Eleaf 20w mod. What tank are you using? If it's a Nautilus and figured that one out, a Melo is a piece of cake.

Ehmm thanks lol. I have of course read the instructions (more than once) for both the Pico and the tank, along with numerous reviews and how to's.
I'm not having an issue with the tank per se but with the sub ohm coils. I need a compatible coil of at least 1.8 ohms as this is what I'm using now and until I'm happy with how it's going for me I don't want or have a need to change. As for swapping the tank see previous superficial post lol 😄

lesley1 I have a couple of Melo 3 minis and they are indeed great tanks and the Triton coils work fine in them, the ECML coils that are linked to above are also MTL (mouth to lung) coils which is what you are after, just because the are only 0.75ohm doesn't mean you will be sub-ohming with them, they are just another addition to the coil range as so many people wanted a MTL coil for them.

However as also stated above you really don't have to use the Melo with the Pico if you don't want to, any tank with a 510 threading will fit the Pico and there is a whole matchy matchy world out there to try, I am also of the matching mindset as I have OCD pretty bad but I use all sorts of tanks on the Pico and just change the drip tip out to a matching one. Satisfies my OCD matching mind and means I don't have to use the Melo all the time although I haven't a problem using it at all.

I'm definitely fernikety 😃 Is that even a word? Lol!
Tbh I'm not actually sure what sub-ohming is. It takes enough brain power to figure this stuff out!!
I'll definitley get some of the Triton coils.....at least then I can happily use the thing......hopefully, maybe, potentially 😬

sub ohming is just using a coil under 1 ohm
back in the day (all of 2 years ago lol) normal batts and mods would struggle to run coils under 1 ohm so it was only cloud chasers that tended to use them
now justa bout any can run them so the makers are doing more sub ohm coils

the main thing that makes the diff between mtl(ciggy type) and lung hit coils(hipster disco cloud things) is air flow which is why we now have a smeg load of diff coils 
the ecml coils might be what your after just adjust the wattage till you get the vape you like(should end up the same as the 1.8 ohm coils you like)worth trying one
just start of low and work way up(say that to wife all da time ;p)


hope that helps


forgot to add DO not lung hit on yer normal high nic juice,its not nice,3mg is prob the best one to try it on

Set your Pico into variable wattage mode (the default, if you haven't fiddled around too much).
Make sure your coils are well primed (at least 10 mins soaking in the tank)
I'm currently vaping on a 1.8 Triton coil at 8.6W and airflow control wide open with good results.
Just increase or decrease the power level until you find a sweet spot for yourself.
Oh and fit a regular 510 drip tip instead of the wide bore thingy supplied with the tank

I haven't started fiddling yet just opened the box and read the instructions then put it away as I had no clue 🤔
The wide bore tip doesn't appeal to me and I will definitely
change that.

Thank you for the help 🙂
