The Zeus X is a substantial improvement over previous Zeus models. The deck is roomier and features a detachable internal airflow chamber shroud that slots in to protect the wicking material as the tank is screwed on. The post holes are 9mm apart measured at the outer edges, 6mm at the inner edges. There is sufficient clearance to fit a pair of ⌀3.5 coils. It can run a 0.12Ω build at 100W before overheating becomes an issue.


Compared to previous models, the juice channels are wider for better flow and reduced need to rake the cotton. The coils are secured by slot-drive screws, and hex screws are also included as an alternative. There is access to trim the legs with a sufficiently small pair of diagonal pliers.

It comes with the standard Geekvape accessory bag full of every type of O-ring imaginable, spare screws and drivers, ultem drip tip, drip tip adapter, straight glass and bubble glass. It also includes a quality pair of nichrome fused clapton 0.4ohm coils and a pair of fancy shoelace wicks so you're ready to do your first build out of the box. The installed low-profile drip tip is the shortest I've ever seen and the Ultem one looks great.

This is indeed a no-leak tank as long as the cotton is installed properly. Even when lying on its side. Even if you place it upside down! Be sure that the cotton fills the wicking channels all the way down to the bottom. I don't need to rake my cotton at all. The cotton forms the plug that regulates juice flow from the tank so it must completely fill that space to prevent spitting and flooding.

This RTA is spectacular—my instant favorite.
Have you ever accidentally dropped your mod on the floor? The battery door bursts open and the batteries fly out. The door clip is damaged and from then on makes only spotty contact. The screen might be cracked. The 510 connector is bent. Some internal component is rattling around. It might even stop working entirely. It's just never the same. Why does this happen? Accidents will happen, so why are most mods still built from fragile materials?

I figured some manufacturer must be aware of this niche. Few are, but then I learned about the Geekvape and the Aegis. The original could survive being run over by a truck. Geekvape were just completing production on the next generation model, the Aegis Legend 200W. I pre-ordered mine and received it in June of 2018, about 9 months ago. It's lived up to all of my expectations. In that time I've dropped it on concrete, ice, and laminate floors and it practically bounces. And it still performs like new.

Things I love:
  • the battery door has a sturdy metal deadbolt
  • sturdy fire button with no hesitation or rattle
  • all settings persist when the batteries are changed, including the lock setting
  • the rubberized grip on all the edges makes it easy to grab and hold firmly in your hand
  • it feels like a trustworthy tool and not like a delicate electronic gadget
The Legend shines in variable wattage "power" mode. Find your sweet spot and lock in.
The TC is middling and not suited for general purpose use at high wattages. It probably works best with Geekvape's prebuilt Alpha mesh coil assemblies. However, even in power mode, the TC-awareness allows the mod to adapt to variable coil resistance while firing.

The battery compartment is a thing of beauty. The tolerances are so fine that I even have to remove the new battery identifying stickers to get them to slide in smoothly. When you shake it, nothing rattles.
The mod also dustproof and waterproof. People take this thing hot tubbing, and to the beach.

It weighs 200g empty, 295g with batteries installed, and 365g (4/5ths lb) with topper and juice.

I like it with Geekvape's Zeus leak-proof top-airflow RTAs. What a great combination of high performance and hassle-free components. For all the abuse mine's taken, it still looks new.
