GeekVape Zeus RTA

[Letitia]

Thanks, That's good to hear. Mine is out for delivery!!! I love the drip tips that come with the Berserker and the Ares. Anyone know where I can find these?

Have you looked on VV site for dts? Might pay more but they will probably outlive you so worth it.

Me too, I have no problem using my Merlin style drip tip with the adapter.
@ricks:
Another option is to find a 810 drip tip which shape like your favorite 510 drip tip, it will be better still if you can find one in the same color with the tank. However you need to be very careful if you were to buy one online , otherwise you might end up like me:

Not only the color does not really match, yet if you take a closer look:

I am mad!
It is like a fat lady with her butts over hang on a toilet bowl...
Imagine I have to look at this day in day out...

At least it will match your lipstick.

@hiclass if you don't mind paying more + shipping, check out John Beam drip tips on fb. He does great work and also custom dt.

Let's see whether they care to custom one for Zeus tanks.

It's so sparkly... LoL. I don't like the big hole drip tips. I hated the one that came with the Merlin.

I like a small holed lip contouring mouth piece... See pic

I am with you Rick and I am a mostly dtl guy.These are my favorite tips.Just wish they had 2 orings.They seem to fit the Zeus very well though with very little wiggle.

Believe he already has a few up for the Zeus.

I would say go up in gauge and use tc. You get better results in tc for ramp of thicker wire, or utilizing a curve function. Bonus is the coils last much longer. You might want to give MacTechVpr's blogs a read about tension builds as well.

TC is the reason I'm trying to run SS. So, in TC it doesn't matter that the resistance is lower? Sorry for my ignorance

I'm saying you need either more wraps or thicker gauge wire to reach your desired Ω. I'm guessing more wraps would mean crowding the deck or you would have taken that route. Changing gauge allows for less wraps but increases ramp time. TC or curve minimizes the ramp.

Yep. My issue is I only have 26 and 36 gauge SS at the moment. Grrrrrr. Going to have to break down and buy more.

Not sure if still an active coupon, 20% off AVS. Pick up a spool of 24g and some like 22g. 22g is hard for me to work with, puny hand strength, but damn if they don't last for months! get a spool of the thicker wire fc wire too.

You could twist some of that 26ga until you get more wire, it's pretty easy to do.

 

[Reeversong]

Alright, I just purchased the Nano from Fasttech. Estimated shipping time "Will arrive before your next birthday"...

Once it gets here it will be fun to take these two tanks head to head.

The best place for wire is Lightening Vapes on ebay

Agreed!

A coil made from a pair of twisted 26ga wires is quite good.

Here it is... wired, wicked and vaping.

I think LV uses Chinese wire... I've had much better results with wire from AVS, Kidney Puncher or Zivipf.

Temco is reported to be quite excellent but I don't think they reasonably ship to Canada.

Just about everything Vaping is from China... I have had no problems with their wire.

Do you use it with temperature control?
In power mode, it would be no different than any other wire.

 

[Letitia]

I have used both AVS and Lightning Vapes ss. AVS seemed more consistent.

I haven't tried TC much at all. I want to someday tho. What is the best material wire to use? I only vape for flavor. No clouds for me. What works best

I ran numbers in Steam Engine using twisted wire and the resistance dropped. Do twisted wires act the same as parallel wires as far as resistance?
