Geekvape Zeus RTA troubles

["Hollow"]

Hi, I’ve just go the Zeus RTA and I’m having trouble getting a decent hit with this thing.

I’ve tried loads of different coils from fused Clapton’s to single 24g builds, all 3mm I’d. I don’t seem to get much flavour and the taste always seems dry even though the wicks are wet.
I’ve tried more cotton and less cotton and nothing seems to work!

Any one got this rta and had success with it? I need help please!

Sorry mate I'd like to help but my zeus problem is I'm still waiting on it being paddled over from China.
Have you watched any youtube vids on it?
I've got quite high hopes for this tank.
I know a few people have them on here.
Keep us posted how you get on.

Yeah I’ve watched most of them. It wicks great as it plows through the 4ml like it’s nothing and the wicks always look wet. I read a review online where someone else had the same problem with it feeling dry even though the wicks are wet.

I don’t want to give up on it because it’s a lovely looking tank, I have a black one on a black minikin v2 and looks great but just can’t get it to work properly!

Some reviewers say to leave a lot of cotton in the juice channels which I tried and it was worse. Thinned them out a lot and wicked better as you could see the bubbles rising straight after a hit, but still gives a dry feeling. It’s really strange, I got it yesterday and have already put about 10 different build in it!!! This is only at 45 watts on a 0.3 ohm fused Clapton’s.

Did you give it a good wash out? It could be the bad taste is coming from oil in the threads.

Have you tried cranking up the power a bit. 45 W sounds a bit low for that fused Clapton? Lot of metal to heat up, though I'm assuming SS lol.

I’ve given it a clean and tried up the wattage but no joy. I’m going to build it now again and see what happens. I’ll get pictures aswell.

Yeah bash some pics up mate.
What kind of juice are you using too and what ratio vg?

I’ve used 60/40 cheap onepoundeliquid to 70/30 dripworx stuff

Coil comes out at 0.3 ohms. Cotton about 10mm wide with both sides peeled and combed out after putting in coil.

The top coil is what I used.
