I'm the same way, I find regular mesh decks to be a novelty,
Wow! I am having a blast with this one. Vape is very smooth. Although the only problem I am experiencing is filling the tank up to the top. The mesh chamber floods instantly. So I rewicked it last night and overstuffed the juice wells where I though for sure it would be starving for juice. Nope, still wicks fine even down to empty and still floods the chamber if I fill it to the top.
Once bitten twice shy for sure with a mesh dry hit.
I never experienced this myself, but they say the wick must absolutely cover the whole mesh area or you will experience those mesh dry hits. The Profile and the Zeus has that spring that is supposed to help in that area.
I find them a lot of work for a cooler vape than regular coils.
Todds Reviews mentioned that he could only get a cooler vape from the
Geekvape Zeus X Mesh. As you really have to crank it up for that warm vape (he's talking 40W). But he said he still couldn't get that hot-hot vape even at 70W. I dunno, I was vaping at 25W yesterday and I thought it was perfect. Todd said he had to go to 40W to get any flavor out of it. Well I just tried 40W and it is definitely a warm vape for me and the flavor is I admit better if you take single puffs. But 25W seems better for chain vaping for me.
