A little early to say yet. It is a beautiful and well made tank. Fairly easy to build. Tricky but forgiving to wick thus far. Perfect airflow for me wide open. Just restrictive enough. Flavor is banging. So far so good. [emoji106]

    Ordered from Gearbest "flash sale"?
    Still waiting for mine, ordered about the same time.
    Thankfully the one I ordered from 3F came a week ago.

    Clapton coils will do this.
    More coil mass, slower ramp up, slower cool down.
    You could try releasing the fire button before stopping your draw.

    I don’t have an issue with clapton or fused clapton coils; Ni80.
    I’ve vaped at 120w on rda and I get no sizzle.
    Either there is lack of airflow at high wattage, thus coil doesn’t cool down as you vape or the draw is too slow thus coil stays hot.
    Ni80 heats up and cools down quite fast compared to Kanthal. And Kanthal is mainly made from Iron and Iron holds heat for much longer period of time.
    Could also be do to too little cotton in the coil it self, another reason for a dry hit.

    Too much cotton or too little cotton and you will get a dry heat.
    Tails are too short or too thick and you will get a dry hit.

    I used to use Rayon with great success, but it’s not as versatile imho as cotton and requires too much work at times to wick.

    I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Every tank requires a specific wicking method. Even if there is 10% difference, it can and will make a big difference.

    Two and half a month, man ... :facepalm:

    I am from Malaysia, Zeus is now available everywhere and is as cheap as the discounted price at FT.

    I am ordering my third Zeus today and I expect to get it by tomorrow, he he he... ;)

    You could travel to the factory, pick up any tank or mod, and travel back home in the same day, for the price of five happy meals. Give or take few $.:p

    It was almost an epiphany moment when I came across Rip's Scottish roll tutorial. I was so bad at wicking before that. Everything seemed to come together for me afterwards. I bought a box of rayon and haven't opened it, threw in a cabinet.
    I do love my Rayon :D ‘tis true though something else to learn :D

    Out of personal curiosity.
    What is the point of owning 3-5 of the same tank?
    In the past, I have owned 2 of the same tank. 1 to Vape on and 2nd to experiment on. But 3 or 5 of the same tank? Seems excessive. Or do you simply want it in every color to match your weekday and weekend outfit?
    I always wondered but never asked.

    I have several Nanos because I love them and they won't be available forever. Just ordered another along with the Cylon.

    I ordered from Gearbest flash sale & accidentally discovered if you choose “E Post (SU)” it means E-packet & didn’t take eons to arrive. 2 weeks maybe? Cos of Christmas.

    I have 6 nautilus minis, three in current rotation each with different flavors loaded. Just picked up 2 more flavors, which will leave 1 in reserve.

    for me the nautis are great at trying out the flavors to see if I like them or not.

    Plus i get tired of vaping the same flavor all day every day.

    that is my reasoning for having multiple tanks(can not vouch for others)

    I have been looking at the B2K kit for awhile now and am torn between that or buying a few different Wasp Nanos. I love the options that come with it but haven't heard from any "non reviewer" users about how it performs. Once you've had a chance to use it could you let me know what your thoughts are?
    I am in love with the B2K it's amazing little flavor RDA. Exceptional machining, a smooth airflow that doesn't whistle and a postless deck that doesn't require 10mm legs to reach the holes. Having small and large bore drip tips included are a plus, as well as the anti spit back insert for the large bore if you choose to use it.

    The only minor issue I have with it is that the juice well is small, and it's very easy to over squonk... ;)

    The two best single coil RDA's for me right now are the B2K and the Entheon, both superb and running perfectly in TC on my DNA squonkers. I haven't finished trying out builds on the B2K yet, going to put it on the Drone and check out a few bigger coils. :D

    The Wasp was a good RDA for the price, but I just couldn't get the thing to stop whistling. I don't have the desire or patience these days to tinker with RDAs that need tweaking and tuning to not whistle.

    Oh great you have to love it right? :D Stop loving stuff ok :D just kidding lol! You’re making it real hard to resist, but I will try really hard to resist, at least until my Entheon arrives :D

    I use 2 Aromamizer Supreme Plus' (I have 3) and 2 Supreme V2's as my daily carries. Serious flavor ADHD is the reason I carry 4 or 5 rigs. :D

    It's a great RDA, not quite as pricey as some of the others out there and it's Canadian designed. :thumb:

    The accessories alone are worth it, mix and match for days. :w00t: :hubba:

    But a year from today, there will be better nano tanks, better batteries, better box mods, etc.
    I’m not trying to be argumentative. My Jew half from my father side, honestly wants to know why people need 5 of the same, when there is always something new around the corner.
    Better iPhones, better laptops, etc.

    I took the 3.5mm 26g SS316L twisted coil out of the Zeus and installed a 3mm 5 wrap Staircase coil. Wicked it with dm Viskose and it's providing a much better vape @55W over the twisted coil. Looks like it will be fused Claptons or Aliens as my coil of choice for this tank.

    Everyone runnnig the stock drip tip that covers the top? It's starting to grow on me but I need to try out the 510 adapter with a dotMod drip tip.
