I'm trying to put a video together but I'm technologically challenged. Made one on my computer but would work better on my phone and I don't have a stand so need to figure out how to do it.
GeekVape Zeus X Mesh RTA 2ml/4.5ml (The Best Mesh RTA Yet)
my standard for zoom chats haha
Reporting back on my adventures with the Zeus X Mesh: Using the dischem cotton balls works great! This cotton somehow supplies the coils much better, and they are dirt cheap. I also started using a wicking technique that I found on another forum (see attached image). Basically the idea is that you don't need very much cotton in the wicking ports, and you can cut a lot of it away. Too much cotton in the ports seems to inhibit the capillaries in the wicking once the cotton has fully expanded.
I haven't been able to find any of the recommended vandyvape mesh yet. And since the GeekVape replacement mesh are *way* overpriced, and impossible to find at the moment, I bought some wotofo strips and just cut off a mm or so to make them fit. This works great and costs 1/10th the price of the GV strips. This would also work with VV mesh strips -- and it is a little annoying that GV decided to use slightly different dimensions than all the other mesh rebuildables. However, it's easy to either cut standard-sized strips, or, as I've seen elsewhere, you can easily file the build deck just slightly to make it possible to use a normal strips. I haven't tried this yet but probably will do it later.
I will hit you up, @LeislB, for some tips when I get the rest of the stuff, as I am still not totally satisfied. But I'm mostly happy with the zeus x mesh now.

I also read it wicks better if just not touching the bottom of the wicking well. But I guess that is a bit of a guess cutting the length to be tucked into the well.
Ok guys, how do I attach a video?
Next to post reply it says upload file, then just browse for the video and select it!
I tried the other day and it didn't like the .mp4 format I wanted to upload. Hopefully someone will advise.
Not sure what formats are supported or if their is a file size limit, others may know more!
It's an MP4 and not supported, back to the drawing board.
Best is to upload it to YouTube or a similar platform then post a link here.
Maybe "Imgur" would be good option!
I bought mine on the 3rd Aug so probably got it and wicked it up on the 5th. Am still using the same wick on 17th Aug which is 12 days. It is still working great.
My problem is me myself. I don't consistently draw air, sometimes I draw slow and sometimes faster. For a faster draw I can pump up the watts to 55 but if I draw slowly I get a dry hit. So I leave it on 29 Watts for safety and if I want a nice bit of flavour I pump it up and take a few draws, trying to remember to turn the wattage down so I don't inadvertently pick it up and take a slow draw. I just wish I could regulate my draw speed when I press the fire button. At 29 Watts my first draw in the morning is ice cold until the wick and fluid warm up with a few draws. I should actually get into the habit of turning it up for the first draw in the morning.
I bought the "200" mesh today from The Vapery. Will only try it once a Mesh Coil needs replacing.

OK, so as much as I didn't want to go online, this is the only way I could wangle it. Thank you @Blends Of Distinction for being the best tutor ever!
This one in the pic is the 150 mesh, not the 200.
Thanks @LeislB and @Blends Of Distinction, will definitely try this on my next wick up. When I fed my first wick in I used a thin screwdriver on the side I was feeding the wick in from to depress the ceramic wick compression post. I also removed the internal chimney and put it over the wick and coil as it has location slots that may not align when you put the tank on but I assume you can't do that if your tank is not empty.
Great video. Thanks.
Great video. Thanks.
Yes, the picture is off the internet, not the product I bought.
OK, cool, I looked on their website and couldn't find it.
The link I gave takes you right to the page, I just checked.
I followed it, it takes you to the 150 one, maybe it's a mistake on the website?
So funny, I actually bought the one on the website but did not realise until now they actually gave me the 200. Thanks for pointing it out. Will give feed back on how the 200 works when I have to replace the mesh. Are you using TC (Temp Control) with the Stainless, how is it working?
