Which one do you find yourself using more, or do you use them about the same amount?
I would say about the same amount of use, I rotate between them & my Steam Crave Aromamizer v2 (I have 2) I still use my Serpent Mini 25 also & various bf rda’s for squonking. I also dug out my Geekvape Ammit 25. I have different flavors in each & throughout the day I switch around.

I've never heard of the Asmodus Zesthia but now I must buy one! I've been vaping the Blitzen and Manta exclusively for a couple of months so they are my fav duals. When I go single coil I dust off the Merlin. Too bad they press fit the bottom as it leaks eventually. I bought 3 of them before I discovered that.

First of all i like to thank you all in this thread.I feel like a stalker to tell you the truth cause iv been watching this thread from the early beggining and i was not even a member here haha/

so yeah i just made an account just to say a few words.

Iv seen this rta in some revews on youtube but i trust more the average user than anything else.
This rta is not popular at all so this thread made me order this little thing and thank you all so much for the details and your mini reviews on this.

Im searching for an rta about a month now and this time i decided to realllyyyyyy get as much info as i could get ,to make my decission.

I was that kind of guy that was buying everything new but i realized that i have so many things that i just not use ,cause i never really like them.

I was between kylin mini crius 2 and the zesthia and i ordered zesthia .It will probably be here tomorrow so im really excited.

I always liked underdogs and it looks so clean and low profile and i bet the machining beats the other 2 easily which is a big deal for me.

My second option was the crius 2 another rta that never was hyped and never got the fame and even tho this thing was mentioned almost always when it comes to single coil flavor rtas.Who knows i may buy this 2 one day haha

For the kylin mini iv learned not to follow the hype cause almost everytime i did i got dissapointed and i know its all about personal preference but i bought hyped devices that where crap seriously.


To end this and summarry thank you again for all the info.Im not always so optimistic when it comes to vape gear but i think im gonna love this thing.

I will report back when i play a little bit with it and report my thoughts on it . :DDDDD

Welcome!
Trust me I'm the same way.. been debating which RTA to buy since mid November. The Blitzen caught my eye in December and I have been tinkering with pre-owned RTA tanks till I got a taste of rebuilding and figured out what I really wanted.

Let us all know your thoughts after you try it out. I love mine immensely!

Sounds exactly like me. I have 2 RTAs and 3 RDAs on 5 mods, all with different flavors which I rotate between throughout the day. I have 2 Serpent Minis that I still use occasionally, but never bought the Serpent Mini 25. How does flavor from the 25 compare to the original Mini?

I have the Serpent Mini that I boxed (2ml constant refilling). I think the flavor is better on the 25, the airflow is smoother too. It’s one of my longest used atty. Most other atties I use & move on but the Serpent 25 I have had & enjoyed the longest. I’ve only used the single coil deck.

Wow, I think the Serpent Mini has excellent flavor compared to most of the newer RTAs, so that's impressive if the 25 is better! Now I'm thinking I might have to see if anyone still sells them so I can check it out. Does it come with 2 decks? If so, I didn't know that, but it's a nice bonus!

Yes it comes with 2 decks. :) 4.5ml capacity too!

Did a quick goggle & I see it still for sale.

I wonder if anyone is finding this - it’s wicked well and the flavour is great but I find that after 3 or 4 vapes that it’s getting a bit dry so I have to unscrew the cap, let the air out and then screw it back on. Then it works for a while. Would this be vapor lock? Any tips?

It might be vapor lock perhaps try & trim your wick a little. And see if that helps.

Thank you - I’ll give that a shot. It’s hard to see if my wicks are touching the bottom and I do t want to go too short or it’ll leak through the afc. I’ll give the wicks and trim and see what happens
If you can tell if its touching the bottom of the wick channel but not scrunched up. Just trim the thickness of the wick without taking the wick out of the wicking channel. Hold the deck in your hand & take small scissors & just cut off a little bit off of the top layer of the wick.

I did exactly that and it worked beautifully - I’m in love again with the tank :)
 
First of all THANK YOU all for the welcomes :)

I have the zesthia for 6 days now and using it everyday, changing the coil position and wicking it about 10 times to find the sweet spot I think I'm ready to give a small review of this rta.

That said when I first got it I used my faves n80 coils 3mm o. 35 by geekvape and I think that is the sweet spot for this tank.

Coil positioning can change your whole experience with this tank. Go low or high and the the tank becomes too airy at least for my taste. I found that the coil works best a little higher than the middle. Not to high to be flat with the deck but a little bit lower. This way gives me a nice restricted hit. Every other position even if you go as low as you can becomes too airy for me, I don't know the reason for this but thats my experience.

For the wicking part now. At first I used to much cotton. The vape was good but the cotton was kinda dry even with full tank. So I used less cotton and I had some leaks. What I end up doing is trimming the end pretty good so the just sit in the wick holes and be kinda loose but filling pretty good the whole wicking hole. It's one of the first tanks that I juiced my cotton before placing it and there is a reason for this. This way is easier to place your wicks the right way, they sit st8 on the hole while dry it can become a challenge to make all the ends to come out of the wicking hole.

After doing this all those things I get a really nice thick vape and the taste is very good, not competing with my favorite hadaly rda but let's face it no rta is gonna give you this flavor, but the flavor is realllllly good.

Another thing that I love is the juice control, although its not a real juice control meaning that it does not spins freely while the base is all the way screwed, it's a pretty good way to avoid leaking. My jc while completely screwed on the base sits perfectly st8 on the wick holes btw.
To avoid any leaks I just close the juice control and the airflow, fill the tank then open the airflow, vape about 4 puffs with closed juice control and slowly opening a little bit more every time I vape until I fully open the juice flow with zero issues even when my wicks seem less than they should be.

Things I like:
Flavor
Vapor thickness
The tank never gets hot and works really good at high watts
Easy to build
Easy to wick once you understand the right way
I love the looks
The drip tip is very comfortable although I would like a 510 adaptor but not a big deal.

Things I dislike:

The only thing that made me scratch my head at first was the airflow ring.
I had no leaking but I noticed that the bottom of the tank was just wet for no reason.
All the rtas have some wetness when you vape them but in this particular rta I noticed that the ring of the airflow was almost always wet.
It was really annoying for me at first.
But I solved it by removing the ring from the base and dry it with a paper once in a while.

Sorry for my English I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Summary I really like this rta and once I fully understood how this rta was meant to work I really enjoy it and I'm not planning to buy any other rta like ever.

All I wait now is the new pulse 80 watt regulated squonk so I can use my hadaly entheon and wasp nano (yes I'm a single coil fanboy :)) and I will always use the zesthia alongside with them.

The end LOL

Great review! I have the Zesthia & how to you close the juice flow control as it doesn’t really have jfc? While the tank is on the mod you can turn the glass portion counter clockwise (as if you are removing the glass portion from the deck) is that what you mean?

I just unscrew it from the base 'til the juice control is closed. It's less than a half turn, more likely 1/4 of a turn and I never had any leak issues from the bottom of the glass while the tank is full. As said it's not a real JC cause it doesn't spin clockwise once it's fully screwed on the base :)

Thanks for the clarification that’s what I thought you meant but wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing something. :)

Thank for your input! It’s a great RTA and a great short review!
Also, in my opinion, if you heap a pile of cotton on the wick holes before priming, it’ll helps counter the pressure build up when you screw the top file cap on. I wouldn’t want to spin the chamber piece since it loosens the tank setup which should be tight.
