Ok so i found the issue. It was the kak coils that came with the zeus. Put in my own clapton 3mm coil and now its singing. Thought i was going nuts as i knew my wicking was right
Geekvape ZEUS Tank Coil Build? Best Coil Build?

cool !
Fluff out the cotton, then it lays basically inline with the build deck. little bit under
can't be sure then, maybe a pic of your build
Busy playing with coils.
Have a Juggernaut coil in my black Zeus tank. Fluffed out cotton touching the deck.
Build comes out to a .21 ohm running at 58 watts.
Flavour is not bad

Not too tight in the coil (I prefer my coils raised and slightly spaced), thin and fluff the ends quite a bit, but there should be enough to fill the cut-out space (when you look down on the build deck, otherwise it may flood), and just a wee little tail-end touching the bottom - I have phenomenal flavour on the single deck.
Looks like this tanks wants cotton tight in coil and very very thinned cotton legs. FIY, the braided coils that come with the tank are sh1t. Baie baie kak. Poefies, siesa
Also coiling anti clockwise works better as the coil is more lined up with the wicking ports meaning shorter distance for the juice to get to the coil

HOLY CRAP. This thing is a flavour monster. I now know why there is such a hype. Its actually too much flavour. Bloody hell im impressed
what cotton do you use?
i found the new cotton bacon prime works better in the zeus. solves my problem with the tank
I personally despise prime, always had dry hits with it. I only use normal CB
My build for reference:
I also don't like prime, much prefer v2
very good, enjoy
@SmokeyJoe @JurgensSt , Loved my Zeus untill I let it go with my change to MTL. Did this as intro for some guys earlier that were having problems, never had a dry hit and flavour overdose, maybe it can help someone again

definitely going to give this a try tonight
I have tried this method and was not that impressed. I still use this method as posted by @Alex and get perfect results every time using a 26g x2 SS316L + 36g Ni80 3mm 7-8 wrap.
Will give each method a try. Switched to cotton bacon prime and already its made a marked difference.
Nearly at my wits end with this tank.
Can't go more than 35w then I get dry hits. Rewick then it's gurgling. Tried fancy coils, simple coils, different cotton, but to no avail.
This latest build seems to be working for now. Parallel 26g SS 0,22 ohm wicked with cotton bacon prime and tails thinned out a lot. Chain vape nearly an eniltire tank with no dry hits at 44w so definitely a marked improvement. Will see how she goes with the next refill.

This pic where your wick on the left looks triangular is good, try maybe trim the other side to also be like this shape. I found it best to trim either from the top or from the further edge of the wick from the wicking channel.
Thanks will give that a go too.
