I’m here again with another Geekvape review. This time I will be doing my best to review what is being called the Z rda. I am slightly confused since the review sample I received has a label on the back that says ZEUS rda. Either way it’s a new rda from Geekvape that was sent to me for the purpose of providing a fair and honest review. Honestly I’m not a very big RDA user but will try my best to convey the features of this one and give my opinion and experience.

FEATURES:
INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The review sample that I received was in a small black two part box with a label on the back that listed the contents. Included in the package besides the RDA was two bags with each containing two .4 ohm Ni80 fused Clapton coils and two cotton threads as well as a user manual, tri-tool, coiling rod, a low profile ultem drip tip and some extra o rings. What was not included and seemed very strange to me was there was not a squonk pin. That really surprised me. I don’t remember the last time I received an RDA without a squonk pin. As you can see in the picture above, it says BF Pin sold separately. What?
The RDA comes with a low profile 810 black drip tip installed with the o rings in the opening instead of on the tip. Below that is the airflow control ring which is held on by an o ring. It is in fact a top airflow RDA with two fairly large airflow slots that will allow for plenty of airflow. The control ring can be easily removed for cleaning. On the main body is the Zeus symbol stamped or engraved in the metal but is the same color as the RDA.
The airflow path on this one is a little different than what I’ve seen. The airflow holes you see on the outside are not seen on the inside. There’s an inner chamber wall that makes the airflow go down the sides and back under the coils. I think this was done to help avoid spitting and from what I have seen it is working. I haven’t had any spitting since I started using it.
The deck of the RDA is a two post/ four terminal set up. There is an opening under each post that is supposed to allow space for you to trim the coil legs but it’s a little tight and you have to have the right kind of smaller wire cutters to get in there to trim them. To me this is a dual coil RDA but I guess you could try to run it with one large single coil.
I used one set of the included Ni80 fused Clapton coils that came with it to test the RDA. It might have been nice if they had included one of those plastic coil measuring tools like I’ve received with other tanks in the past. I of course had one nearby and cut my coil legs at 5mm before inserting the coils into the deck. I probably could have gone down to a 4mm but it worked out ok. The cotton threads included were nice and tight in the coils and I was actually able to wick both coils with one thread since it was long enough. I combed out the wick tails quite a bit because the cotton thread was very dense and wanted to get good capillary action on the wicking. The bottom well is fairly deep so you can drip quite a bit of liquid into it. Also with the top airflow and inner chamber you don’t really have to worry too much about leaking. There are two o rings around the deck that make a very good seal and I could pick up my Legend 2 by the RDA and the cap did not budge. On the bottom side of the deck is the Geekvape Z printed and the other normal writing. Once I had the coils installed, my mod was reading .18 on the resistance. I was able to run the airflow about 1/3 open and got a really nice and flavorful vapor at 55 watts. I don’t like a really warm vapor so if you do then you will probably want to turn it up some.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Like I mentioned in the beginning of the review, I don’t have a lot of experience with RDA’s but have tested a handful of them and one or two have stood out to me. The Geekvape Z RDA seems to be a really good one. I really like the unique looks of it and the ability to fully disassemble it for cleaning is a nice feature.
The gold plated 510 pin protrudes enough that it should be able to be used on hybrid mechanical mods. The base dimension is 25.5mm and should fit ok on most mods. I used it on my Legend 2 since there wasn’t a squonk pin included in the package.
I thought the build deck was easy enough to build on and I would recommend cutting the legs to length before inserting the coils since the space underneath may or may not allow you to get your cutters in there to trim the coil legs.
I never really care for the short drip tips that are included with some tanks and this was one of them. I almost immediately replaced the tip with my own.
So, would I recommend the Geekvape Z RDA for you? With the limited experience I have with RDA’s I would say that this is a good one and yes I would recommend it due to ease of use and the really good flavor it produced while I was testing it.
I’d like to thank Geekvape and Allison for sending the Z RDA for this review. No matter what they choose to call them, the Z and other Z tanks are always going to mean Zeus in my head. A big thanks to the readers! I’ll see you next time. Below is a link to the Geekvape site if you would like to check it out.
