Mythological Gods sure do get a lot of airplay in this misty world of ours, and to be perfectly honest I'm surprised this one hasn't come around sooner....I mean he is technically the god of clouds....
And electricity ....
Two things ...obviously...we care very much about, doesn't necessarily make him the god of vaping though...if more recent story telling were to be believed that title would surely go to Technical Boy....
Who does indeed have some skills with throwing the O's .....but..if you follow the show...you will also know that he is indeed.....a dick and only technically a god ....so....I wouldn't choose him to be our deity.....if indeed .....we needed one......I mean there is a god to cover just about everything if you peruse your way through the ages but not really a god of flavour....
If ever there was a reason to be a god......that would be near the top of my list...at least I have the right height criteria by all accounts....
So.....Zeus it is.....but is naming a single engine RTA after the god of thunder a mere bold statement, or...if the chatter and anticipation are anything to go by....is this the next big thing to come from Justin....(totes the god of Geekvape) that will strike lightening into the hearts of every vaper who sucks on his drip tip.....(is there a god of inappropriate sexual innuendo's?....because I think I could totally nail that)

Greetings my mere mortal misty miscreants, today we bestow our eyes upon a tank that has been creating a lot of intrigue and excitement of late, a tank that has been rumoured to be the next best thing since ...well.....the last next best thing...whatever that was....who the fuck can keep track, however...being designed by Justin at Geekvape at least gives it a fighting chance of that title so.....does it's name stand true and is it indeed the God of Thunder....or....merely just the supervisor of a mildly wet Wednesday afternoon....let us ring the doorbell of Olympus and see if the big man is at home ...unless of course he's out having it large with Hades...because let's face it...if you're offered a night out with Hades...it would probably be an experience too hard to turn down....
Courtesy of my BFF's from the East Heavengifts...I give to you...the Geekvape Zeus RTA...
Ignore the packaging that's a 'Reviewers special'
Indeed.....I can't believe I get beard envy from a tank.....still...not shoddy in the looks department...not one little bit...and in that matte...almost satin finish it really shows off the fine detailing of the cut out 'Zeus' side panels and his mugshot planted on the side of the chamber....love that.
The Lowdown
The Geekvape Zeus is a 25mm Single coil RTA with a 4ml capacity and boasts both side and bottom adjustable airflow via a very weird and kind of complicated top air intake system....we'll come to that shortly, we'll start at the top and work our way down...
On the top it fits a standard 810 tip (510 adaptor included as well as a 510 tip) and a very nice 'quarter turn' quick release top cap covering the top fill system which...is completely flush....
LOVE the quick release top cap but the flush top fill is a big no no for me, all top refill systems should have at least a slight recess to catch any spillages and the juice holes are not the biggest meaning you'll be fine with fine point bottles which...admittedly...most store bought juices have these days but... if like me you use twist offs you will have to hold the bottle a couple of mm away and slowly trickle it in. I think the flushness comes as a result of the top adjustable airflow which sits on the side just below the top cap so....there's just no room for it, but if you made the Zeus just 2 or 3mm taller it could easily of accommodated a slight recess under the cap....just my opinion...that being said it does stand at 45.5mm tall including the drip tip so this is by no means a
Which kinda makes you question the liquid capacity.....just 4ml....or to put that into context....the same as an SMM which is around 10mm shorter and 1mm thinner so....what happened to all the real estate?....well.....they say God works in mysterious ways....although they never specified which God....because this one....is off his tits....
The Innards
An OCD sufferers worst nightmare....
Fugly...
You'll take one look at this...and that little part of your brain that deals with logic will frantically look at your list of coil building knowledge and will be left feeling completely unprepared....
And it has horns.....
Well it would seem that this deck confuses everyone...and so it should...because it's fucking confusing....it'll totally fuck with you.
Those 'Horns' where you would expect the posts to be actually play an integral part in the whole airflow system which is probably the Zeus's prominent USP, not a unique idea but...a different play on it, as bringing air in through the top and venting it down through the outside of the chamber and then up under the coils has been done before... but what the Zeus does is bring it in through the top.....obviously...then those 2 horns lock into 2 inlet 'ports' at the top of the chamber...
The air then flows down inside the 'horns' and does two things, firstly it hits the perforations on each side of the coil, then it goes further down and through a larger single hole at the bottom that comes underneath the coil....
It's clever....and it has been done in a way I haven't seen before, for a start it hits the coil at an angle?.... and it does work very well....but....I find three problems with this set up, firstly....those perforations coupled with the distance the air has to travel causes a slightly above average turbulence noise, secondly, that's quite a distance between the coil and your mouth and a lot of surface area for your flavour to stick to before it gets there, and thirdly....it's the most un-domed roof of any chamber that I have ever seen, and a domed chamber ..as we all know.. makes for smoother airflow and more flavour...hate to say it but...it's kind of over engineered and suffers as a result...not unpleasantly so....but it's there.
Now...the build deck...this is a post-less deck....as you can see quite clearly by the birds eye view...you will also notice that NOTHING lines up....yet....as you build on it...it all kinda works...kinda.....I say kinda...because it's still fucking annoying. Geekvape were generous enough to supply within the package a couple of finely braided coils, now I like to use the coils that come with tops because that's how (you'd think) the top is intended to be and if the coils come with the tank....then surely they would be right for it...and this is the package a buyer will receive so.....why the fuck.....are they coiled the wrong way.....??
And electricity ....
Two things ...obviously...we care very much about, doesn't necessarily make him the god of vaping though...if more recent story telling were to be believed that title would surely go to Technical Boy....
