Brand
Eleaf
Eleaf is a long-standing brand: many vapers have kept their iStick box mod or Melo tank for years. The most important thing here is to spot the right coil: there are several generations that look very alike.
Eleaf: finding the right coil
At Eleaf, the difficulty is not choosing a device, it is buying the right coil again. The references have very similar names and are not interchangeable. Here is how to find your way.
EC coils, five generations
The original ECs fit the very first Melo tanks. The EC2s arrived with the Melo 4. The EC-M, EC-N and EC-S cover the Melo 3 to 6. The EC-A are for the Melo 4S and the iJust S.
Above all, remember one exception: the Melo X accepts only the EC-D coil. No other EC works in it, despite the shared name.
The GTL family
A single GTL coil for several devices: the GTL D20, the GTL Tank 4.5ml, the GTL Tank 2ml and the GTL Mini Pod Tank. It is the simplest family in the range.
GS Air coils
Three close but distinct references: GS Air, GS Air M and GS Air A. They fit the iStick Amnis 3 Kit, among others.
iStick box mods
The iStick range covers every format, from pocket-sized devices to box mods with removable batteries. Some work with an 18650 or 21700 battery bought separately: this is stated on each product page.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know which coil to buy?
Start from the exact name of your tank, not just "Melo". Each device's product page shows the matching coil.
Does an EC coil fit a Melo X?
No. The Melo X needs the EC-D coil, and only that one.
Can I still buy consumables for my old Eleaf device?
Yes for most families: EC, GS Air and GTL coils are still being made.
