Eleaf EC Mesh Resistance

The Eleaf EC coil is more than just a coil; it's a piece of history that defined an era of vaping. It's the original model that propelled the legendary iJust and Melo series to the top, introducing millions of vapers to a simple, reliable, and powerful sub-ohm vape. Known for its perfect balance between vapor production and flavor restitution, it remains a safe bet and a favorite choice for many nostalgic and new users.

Compatibility: An industry standard

The EC coil has established a format standard adopted by many manufacturers. Its compatibility is immense and extends well beyond the first Eleaf kits:

• Melo range: Melo, Melo 2, Melo 3 (and Nano), Melo 4, Melo 5
• iJust range: iJust 2, iJust S, iJust ECM
• Other Eleaf kits: Lemo 3, and many more.
• Other brands: Many clearomizers from brands like Aspire, Vaporesso or Smok use this resistance format.

How to choose your original EC resistance?

The original EC line is divided into two distinct categories. It's crucial to choose the one that matches your hardware and vaping style.

For classic use (Wattage / Power mode):

• EC 0.3Ω (30-80W): The benchmark for big clouds. Designed for powerful DL vaping, it produces dense, warm vapor.
• EC 0.5Ω (30-100W): The balanced choice. It is renowned for its excellent flavor rendering while guaranteeing good vapor production.

For Experts (Temperature Control Mode ONLY):

CAUTION: The following resistors MUST NOT be used in standard Wattage/Power mode as this may damage them. They require an electronic box with a suitable Temperature Control (TC) mode.

• EC-TC Ni 0.15Ω: Made of Nickel (Ni200), it is used exclusively in TC-Ni mode.
• EC-TC Ti 0.5Ω: Made of Titanium (Ti), it is used exclusively in TC-Ti mode.

Directions for use

For optimal performance, it is essential to use e-liquids rich in Vegetable Glycerin (VG), with a rate of 60% or more . Remember to prime each new resistance by applying e-liquid to the cotton and waiting 10 minutes after filling. If you are using a TC resistance, always check that your box is set to the correct mode (TC-Ni or TC-Ti) before vaping.

FAQ

What's the difference with EC2 coils?
The EC2 is an improved version of the original EC, with larger e-liquid inlets. However, they are 100% interchangeable. You can use an EC coil in a Melo 4 and an EC2 in a Melo 2 without any problems.

What are the risks of using a TC resistor in Wattage mode?
Nickel (Ni) and Titanium (Ti) are wires that should not be heated uncontrolled. In Wattage mode, the resistor can overheat and degrade, making the experience dangerous and unpleasant. Always use the correct TC mode.

Conclusion

The Eleaf EC coil is proof that a successful design can last. It's the proven choice for reliability and performance. Whether you're looking to revive your first iJust 2 kit or you're a temperature control expert, the original EC range has a solution for you. A true legend, still going strong.
