Reviewer comments on business characteristics

All great stories have sequels, and this is confirmed once again with the arrival of the third generation of the ZEUS.
The last big success of Geek Vape adopts the X ending to salute this ultimate version of one of the references on the vaporous and airy RTA market.
This new version retains the same main advantage as its predecessors, the airflow in high position and of course, its famous logo on the bell.
The design evolves, the plate and the bell too, obviously it promises to be pretty good, in addition, the price is just canon or rather divine.
So on the way to a new rendezvous with the God of the gods.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

This new version of Zeus undergoes a small aesthetic evolution. It is still just as massive and with the bulb glass, I would even say that it is quite stocky. If we look at the catalog, it is as if the Zeus Dual had been crossed with a Creed.
This gives us an imposing atomizer but with fairly soft lines. We find, of course, the engraving of the portrait of Zeus on the bell, recurring decor of this series. He gains a little finesse when he dons the right tank but loses 1 ml of capacity.
The top cap and the drip-tip complement each other perfectly and in the end, they seem to be one and the same piece. A sort of headdress that gradually flares out, a style rounder than its big sisters.


The airflow ring is located just below the top cap, it is precise in its adjustment but let's be clear, our Zeus is not an MTL and it only begins to express itself beyond 30W.
Once disassembled, we discover the Postless type plate mono or double coil.

 

The bell and the chimney form a jacket to let the air circulate.

All Zeus are equipped with this system which allows ventilation from the top but on this new version the chimney is very easy to dismantle, which will greatly facilitate maintenance.


The quality of manufacture, the joints, the threads, everything is more than correct especially given the price displayed.
For now, everything I see is pretty engaging, just test it.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

As for these functional characteristics, let's start with its capacity.
The bulb reservoir offers a reserve of 4.5 ml, the right tube, it, 3.5ml.
The atomizer has a top filling system, the top cap is rotated a quarter of a turn and there is access to two beautiful openings nested at the bottom of a fairly deep channel.


Once disassembled, we discover a tray type Postless made to accommodate one or two coil.
The airflow is adjustable thanks to the ring positioned just under the top cap, it is precise and the gasket which holds it in place makes the job perfectly.
We find all the ingredients of the Zeus Dual but with a softer and rounder style.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Type of drip-tip attachment: but passage to 510 through a supplied adapter
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: Short
  • Quality of the present drip-tip: Good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

As often in Geek Vape, your atomizer comes with several tips.
The most aesthetic is black, it is very short and perfectly matches the lines of the top cap. The second in ultem is slightly longer, it is a little less harmonious but it is also more comfortable. Finally, it is not really a drip-tip but I would like to point out the presence of an 510 adapter which offers you the possibility of adapting your favorite drip-tip to it. At the same time considering the type of vape suggested by the master of Olympus, I am not sure that it is really useful.
A complete offer that raises no comment.

Evaluation of the packaging

  • Presence of a box accompanying the product: Yes
  • Would you say that the packaging is up to the price of the product? Yes
  • Presence of a user manual? Yes
  • Is the manual understandable for a non-English speaker? Yes
  • Does the manual explain ALL features? Yes

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Habitually, Geek Vape delivers us its atomizers in a clear plastic box but for the Zeus X we are faced with a more fashionable package with a buddle box and a cardboard sleeve.
On the upper side, a photo of the atomizer which is surrounded by a luminous halo and filaments of vapors which seem to form kinds of lightning. The brand and name of the atomizer are found in the top left corner, like a “watermark”. The back side is, as always, dedicated to the description of the contents of the box, to the standard logos and to the scratch code.
As always, we are on a marriage of black and orange for the dominant colors of the package.
Once the thin cardboard box has been removed, a black rigid cardboard box is revealed where only the name of the brand appears. Inside, we discover the Zeus with its bulb tank, the right tank, gaskets, screws, two coils, a BTR wrench and a three-headed T-screwdriver. I don't forget the ultem drip-tip and the 510 adapter.
A very complete pack which to top it all, also contains a multi-language notice with a part written in French.
A very good presentation for a pack where nothing is missing, given the price, it is well worth 5 / 5.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

Disassembly and reassembly pose no particular problem, which is significant on this new opus comes from the fact that the internal chimney is disassembled which allows to clean his atomizer thoroughly.


The tray is postless, so it is quite easy to install your coil (s). The only thing, it will be necessary to adjust the length of your legs well, there is a small space which leaves the possibility of cutting them once the resistance is mounted but you really need a small cutting pliers.


The cotton is placed alone, no difficulty there either, it is necessary to properly measure its fiber.


The filling is done from the top, just rotate the top cap a quarter of a turn to access the openings. The system can be used with all bottle tips that I know of.
As I have already said, the airflow adjustment is effective and the ring is neither too flexible nor too stiff.
As for the sensations, they are very good. The flavors are present and the volume of vapor is also very suitable for an atomizer of this type, the air circulates efficiently.
To conclude this part, the great asset of the Zeus this is the high position of the air inlet, this guarantees the absence of leaks and condensation.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

At Geek Vape, we like the stories of gods and we give them many sequels.
For the Zeus, this is the third opus. This atomizer has made a good place in the hearts of RTA DL enthusiasts.
Its first and main quality is to leave no room for leaks and this new opus with its high breathing confirms this major asset.
This new version, in addition to maintaining its simplicity of implementation and its good technical capabilities, sees are improved aesthetics. Its lines are more fluid even if one remains on a very stocky silhouette especially with the bulbous glass.
But for me, the real plus is this fireplace that can be dismantled to allow cleaning every nook and cranny of the ato.
To top it off, the price is super competitive.
Zeus remains the king of Olympus is in view of this new version, he should not lose his throne anytime soon. It is indeed a “TOP ATO”

Good Vape,
Vince.
