Zeus x rta is awesome. I also love the kylin v2Not too horrible a price on the Zeus X either. My usual range is $5 - $25 but if a tank like this proves a solid performer, an extra $10 or so isn't untenable. And with these folks bringing it up as a good tank, to me it warrants the extra outlay of cash.
For now though I'll be content with my Gorge & Wasp Nano RDAs. Need to get another NaRDA clone. Seems the peek insulator for the positive post is wanting to keep slipping from the deck. Fairly sure I do not have the "proper" squonking 510 pin to set into it & that's why it's being a PITA. Never can really tell regarding those pins either. It fits and holds posts in place or it doesn't. So, not sure exactly what size I'd need. With NaRDA clones being so cheap, easy enough to get a new one.
I think @JuicyLucy hexed my NaRDA clone because I sang the NaRDA song too much. Hope she doesn't mind my "Gorge, gorge, gorge of the jungle!" song.
Apologies for the OP, I'm writing about single coil RDA. I do think though the Zeus X looks like a product to meet your needs. You might also like a Griffin, it has a velocity style deck which can help people learn building. I don't use tanks much anymore.
Both are worth the $Zeus x rta is awesome. I also love the kylin v2
The zues x should be able to run a single coil. Bit it needs a bunch of cotton to properly fill the wicking ports. I wouldn't recomend the x 4 a new builder as it even took me 2 wick jobs to na il l it when i first got it. I still say a dead rabbit rta. Its not at the top of the charts but it is a solid performer and so easy to build on and wick. JmhoAegis Legend mod and Zeus X atty are a good pairing. Not so sure the Zeus X is the best choice for a new builder, but also not so sure that dual coils are the best choice for a new builder either. Coils need to be the same resistance, and installed so that they heat up at the same rate. There is a learning curve for most people with RTAs anyway.
Looking at it from a purely practical standpoint, if I were just starting now and had the requirements OP states, I'd get an Aegis Legend and an Augvape Intake RTA. The Intake is a lot easier to build than the Zeus X and gives a good vape and good flavor. If he does get a Zeus X, it is possible to build it with a single coil, and for starters I would definitely recommend that he do that.

I run dual 3mm id. And i still prime and let sit till expanded. Then take the cotton from when i thinned and fluffed and tuck in any spots lacking in the ports. But its a beast of an rta when rite.Yes, I'm running my Zeus X with a 4mm single coil. I knew it would need a big coil in order to have enough cotton to fill up those ports.
The thing flooded like a bitch the first time I filled it, but I think once the cotton had some time to expand, it's ok now. I'm about to refill it again and I will know for sure very shortly.
ETA: I filled it, and it's fine. I am not filling it all the way to the top, though, just to the top of the RBA housing.
