Eleaf iStick Rim with MELO 5 – Archive Entry
Archive Notice
The Eleaf iStick Rim with MELO 5 vape kit is now preserved as a historical entry in the eliquids.ie Vape Museum. Released around 2019, this device represented a modern compact box-mod kit combining a powerful internal battery with the Melo series sub-ohm tank.
Although highly popular during its release period, hardware evolution in the vape industry quickly shifted toward pod systems and compact AIO devices. As a result, classic box-mod kits like the iStick Rim gradually moved out of mainstream retail catalogues.
The Eleaf iStick Rim mod featured an integrated 3000mAh battery capable of delivering up to 80W of output power, making it suitable for both flavour-focused vaping and moderate cloud production. The device used a simple OLED display and operated in wattage mode with resistance support from approximately 0.05Ω to 3.0Ω. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Paired with the mod was the MELO 5 sub-ohm tank, built from stainless steel and Pyrex glass. The tank supported EC coil heads such as the EC-S 0.6Ω mesh coil and the EC-M 0.15Ω coil, offering a balance between flavour intensity and vapour production depending on wattage settings. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
The tank also introduced several safety improvements including a child-resistant top-fill system and an internal mechanism that closes the liquid inlet when the coil is removed, helping prevent accidental leaks during maintenance. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Market & Regulatory Context – Ireland
During the late 2010s, compact box-mod kits like the Eleaf iStick Rim were widely used across Ireland by vapers seeking higher performance than early pen-style devices. Vape shops in cities such as Dublin frequently recommended these kits for users ready to move beyond beginner hardware.
Under the EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), refillable tanks sold in Ireland must comply with a maximum capacity of 2ml. Many tanks including the Melo 5 were therefore released in reduced-capacity versions for the European market.
