Too thick, not thinned out enough by the tails or wicked too tight.

Or it could be the same thing I struggled with on Thursday...a returning hotspot. I rewicked about 3 times in less than an hour and couldn't for the life of me figure out what was going on until I found the problem. This was after made sure I worked out all the hotspots prior to the 1st wick.
See I'm using CB Prime in my RDA
Now look how dry it is

The little part in the middle that reads "7 minutes later and 45 hits"
so, it should be looser than when using CB V2 ?
also using CB Prime though ?
Looks too good bro
Yes bec Prime swells ridiculously due to its super absorbency.
Always
Bought the Zues because I wanted the convenience of a tank when I travel and I wanted good flavour, but one shouldn't go into this hoping to get better, or semi near the flavour of a good RDA, then you'll only be met with disappointment. It does what I need it to do exceptionally well.
This is a convenience tank for me more than anything else, because it does not leak.
The flavour is not even close to a decent RDA and there are many RTA's which kill the Zeus with flavour. The flavour in this tank is mediocre at best in my opinion.
Being the owner of a Zeus Dual, I will not recommend this tank to anyone for any reason other than it being leak proof, oh and it builds/wicks super easy. I've not had a single issue with building or wicking and the tank does not get hot when chain vaping.... I suppose it does not have the time to get hot because it's empty before you know.

Finally got the Zeus Dual performing like a dream! Took a little patience and more builds than I would have normally tried but I finally am getting superb flavour from this tank.
So good it's surpassed what I ever expected to get from an RTA, the last RTA to give me this much flavour was the Kylin Dual.
Watched a few reviews on YT, read a few more on Reddit and I think I got her figured out now.
First mistake I made was building too low for this RTA, 0.12 is too low and the wicking cannot keep up with the 100W needed to get those coils smiling.
So first thing was to install a calmer more sane build, in steps a 7 wrap Tri Core Fused Clapton 3x28ga/38ga Ni80 gasPhase ohming out at 0,2 ohms.
This I vape at 3.8v or around +-73W, airflow 3/4 open and finally I'm getting the flavour I was hoping to get and some.
Below are some pics of the build, I've changed up the coil height from before, this seems to work much better and gives more flavour. I believe it was @RainstormZA who had her coils set up high that got me playing with the coils height and finally settled on what you will see in the pics.
The build - 7 wraps Tri Core Fused 3x28ga/38ga Ni80
The Coil Height - this new height makes getting the coils positioned much easier a the screwdriver doesnt get caught on the airflow.
The Wicks - thinned them out so much it might have been too much, got a mouthful of juice for the first few toots. Thanfully that stopped now, will see after a refill if it happens again.
I need to source some UD cotton and test that out. But finally today I can say that I'm truly happy with the Zeus Dual RTA!

I was one that thought the same when your coils were labelled as high, but then I thought why not try set the coils higher and see what effect it has.
Honestly the vape is night and day different, before the vape was okay and so was the flavour. Now with this build and coil height its a nice wet and flavourful vape. I was expecting a little sptiback, but besides drinking a few mls when I filled her up I havent had any issues.
I'm using 3mm ID coils and I position them more towards the centre of the deck with about 2-3mm gap between the coils. Airflow isn't restricted by the coil size when their set high up. With low set coils it did reduce the airflow a tad.

Got mine today, Thankx @Moerse Rooikat.
Time to decide what coil will go in this one.
Time to decide what coil will go in this one.
coiled and wicked my zeus dual with kanthal alien claptons and cotton bacon, was so excited that I forgot to take a pic of the build.
I placed my coil very close to the deck, left only 1 mm space in between. wicked it tight, combed to reduce the tails to 50% and then tucked in the cotton.
The tank is bringing out notes in the juice that I have never experienced before, I am extremely impressed. The tank literally chucks juice and I have to refill it quite often, I did order the bubble tank but reluctant to use it as of now because if the mod tips over it directly falls over the bubble glass and breaks and I want to save it for later.
Also the face of zeus is facing the other way
, I hate that, well next time i refill I will open up the tank and try to correct that.

next time I coil it I will try this, if the flavour is amazing for me with the coils kissing the base of the build deck I wonder what it will be if I place it high.
Hate to say it in contradiction to my fans above but: Don't expect to much.
Also decided to climb on the hype train , first impression so far ...
- Easy build deck , coil placing can get tricky as airflow disks/blades tend to get in the way of the coiling rod
- Used simple flatwire 24G 6 wraps (what I usually use to test atties) and the flavour is on point , slightly less than the Reload but more "wet" if that makes any sense ....
- On that note this tank is THIRSTY , damn .... never went through so much juice in one night LOL
- Build quality is very good , no crunchyness screwing the topcap on etc
All in all a great addition and will definitely use this on my trips in the bush ..... have a River Trip (nope not what you think , no boats or canoes involved but 4x4's ) coming up in Sept so will put this and the Aegis Legend through it's paces.

Hey ? Already own the Dvarw DL and it's a totally different vape .... but for a single coil RTA there is nothing that beats it for me .... sorry for thread derail ....

will you be going for the original or clone ???
