Hi All, Anthony Vapes back here with my review of the zues rta from geekvape. Disclaimer: this product was sent to me from efun.top
Introduction:
The Zues rta is the latest single coil rta from geekvape. It’s available in 4 colors SS, gunmetal, black, and blue. It features top airflow channeled to the bottom and side, a 4 ml capacity and both 810 and 510 tips.

Initial Impressions and features
When I first got this RTA i was pretty impressed with it’s looks. It has a nice unique style to it with the metal cage on the inside with ‘ZEUS” engraved in it and the zeus picture on the chamber itself. It comes with a custom drip tip on it but includes a standard 810 and a standard 510 and adapter. I love the options although a resin or ultem tip would have been nice. The air flow control is really smooth and easy to adjust and on a stopper. It’s a simple RTA to disassemble and assemble. It comes with 2 coils as well which i didn’t personally use and different color o-rings orange, clear and baby blue. The build quality is great as well and all the threading is smooth. The Zues uses a standard 2 large hole top fill method which is great for any bottle type and the top cap uses a rotate 90 degrees to lock or unlock design instead of threading which works great. Very easy to get on and off.
Build Deck (pics above)
Let’s talk about the build deck now. It’s a interesting build deck i haven’t seen before. For the coil itself it’s a standard postless style build deck. I personally love postless but they aren’t the easiest to start with since you do have to precut your leads. It uses flat head grub screws i prefer hex but these are good quality and i’d take flat over phillips so i can't complain. They include 2 spares as well. Where this deck differs is since it’s top air on the outside, they designed the deck to give you bottom and side “3D airflow” as they call it. So there are 2 towers on each side of the coil with holes like a cheese grater to funnel the air to the coil. The bottom most holes come from under the coil. It’s an interesting concept. The wick holes have 2 large holes for plenty of cotton but it doesn’t really need a lot as it’s very resistant to flooding or leaking. I didn’t have any issues with leaks or floods. There are no press fit parts on this RTA that could come defective. Overall I really like the build deck as i’m a fan of the postless style
Performance
Performance wise, I used it exclusively as a single coil RTA as it’s intended to be. I used 2 fancy coil builds, 1 round build, and 1 vertical round build in it. My favorite is the one pictured above using some handmade aliens from a coil builder buddy of mine on reddit. It also worked well with the simple round. The vertical build wasn’t worth the effort IMO and i wouldn’t recommend anyone try it. I played with coil position going as low as possible and as high as possible and in the middle. Coil position didn’t play a big difference but i found it best in the middle like pictured above. But there isn’t too much of a difference either way really although higher seemed to work a little better than lower. Overall at it’s best i found it to be an average performer. It’s nowhere near a flavor monster, but it’s still pretty good especially for the benefits of the leak resistant design and very forgiving wicking. Just don’t overstuff it and you’ll be good.
Overall Impressions
Overall I was pretty impressed with the RTA. it’s got the good quality that is typical of geekvape products especially at their price point. It has all the options you want in tips with both the 810 and 510 although for it being a single coiler i feel the 510 is a better option. I love the easy to take off top cap as well. There really isn’t much to dislike out of this RTA unless you really want to chase flavor in which case it’s pretty average.
Pros:
So with all that said, do I recommend this RTA? I don’t like to do hard yes or no, but this will lean towards the yes. It fills a big niche as there isn’t many single coil top air channeled down RTAs on the market. While it may not be the best flavor around it’s very leak resistant design and very forgiving wicking makes it a great option for someone wanting a single coil who has trouble with other RTAs leaking. At the price point of under 25 dollars it’s a good option for anyone who isn’t out chasing “the best flavor out there”. I’ll be adding this to my sheet.
