Easiest top fill system I have used to date.
Just push top open and fill.
NO leaking anywhere on this tank.
I left it on its side overnight without a drop spilled.
Very well designed and machined.

It does indeed vape at 300 watts.
I started @ 100 watts - seemed to remain sleeping.
At 150 watts it started to produce a fair amount of vapor and flavor but nothing special.
Jumped to 175 - good flavor and vapor production.
At 200 it really came to life.
At 225-250 I found it to be my sweet spot.
Awesome flavor and some pretty good vapor.
At 300 watts I was able to chain vape 21 draws at .8 seconds each.
The throat hit here is what caused the short draws.
It wasn't too hot but certainly warm.
But that throat hit prevented me from longer draws.
The coil had no trouble keeping up while vaping it like this.
NO dry or burnt hits.
But as expected, it is very thirsty (to be expected)
Changing coils cannot be done without emptying the tank.

While it claims 6.5ml juice capacity, this includes the massive amount of juice hte coil holds.
Inlcuding the juice I used to prime the coil I was able to fit a total of 6.4ml of juice.

Contents:

1 x MELO 300 (3.5ml/6.5ml)
2 x ES Sextuple-0.17ohm Heads
1 x User Manual
NO SPARE GLASS

There is a 3.5ml version but for me I couldn't justify filling up after every 5 draws. (slight exageration)
A great high wattage tank for under $20, I do suggest you get one.

While it isn't a TFV12 killer it holds its own.
The lacking RBA section didn't gain it any points.
However...........
I picked up a RBA section for the Melo RT 25 and it fits perfectly.
https://vapenw.com/eleaf-melo-rt-22-25-coils for $10.99

RBA deck:
Velocity style
Air flow slots are 10.8mm X 2.8mm
1.9mm holes for your coil legs spaced 10.5mm apart.
The deck cap is 18mm ID providing plenty of build room.
I was able to build with 3.5mm ID Framed Alien Staple 6 wrap coils from b_d_builders to max out the entire space.
Ended up at 0.12Ω
THIS is an awesome build, love it.

As always great review and pics @Paratech, you really know your stuff!

I just got the Melo 300 a couple of days ago, needed it to get free shipping...haha.

Pleasant surprise that it is a real good tank so far. Your right, super easy to refill unless your forgetful like me, just tried unscrewing the top cap to fill and then looked what tank I was using....duh.

For under $20 it is a winner so far and thanks for pointing out an RTA section that will work for it.

In case you didn't know the tfv8 coils will work in the melo300. Makes me think the rba should work also.
 
Thank you for this, ordering the RBA section for it right now. Have you been able to find any other drip tip that fits it? That's the only other thing I wish for this tank cause the build and top fill are perfect.

You're welcome jcgraphx
Out of over 250 tanks, only one of my other drip tips fit it.
That is from the stainless version of the same tank.
I haven't found anything yet.

Yes.
Coils for the Smok TFV8, Eleaf Melo 300, Sense Blazer 200, and Geek Vape Illusion all are swappable.

Is that also true for coils marked for the TFV8 Baby tank verions, or just the TFV8? Smok coils confuse the hell out of me.
