I've had this tank for a week, I've been in love with it and out of love with it a couple of times. Google will tell you many people have issues with this tank, wicking and flavour production. It sure doesn't leak, I've been very impressed with it - it's an RTA that I can carry about in my pocket or bag and it doesn't spill a drop. I initially chucked a 26GA KA1 6 wrap build in measuring around .4ohms and wasn't enjoying it - at 30W it created vapor but had no flavour, and at 35W or above it just started giving dry hits. I didn't want to give up on it though as it's a nice leakproof tank that doesn't take a dual battery juggernaught to power (I wanted to be able to use it on my single battery mod when travelling).
Yesterday I went to the vape shop and picked up some Wick n Wire Demon Killer Clapton Wire 26+30 and made a 6 wrap build for it right there in the shop. Came out at .8ohm, higher than I was expecting, but wow - at about 25W I'm getting so much better flavour now. Maybe this tank just runs better at higher ohms.
I'm finally happy with it - but be warned, it takes some playing around to get the build and wicking right - but once you do its a satisfying vape.

Lately I'm using SS316 26gax2/36ga, 2.5mm ID coil, 6 wraps .26 ohms. With my current juice (fizzie lemonade) I'm using it in TC 40w at 455 degrees. This juice really tastes better to me when it's cooler and this setup is really making the flavor pop. Previously I used a similar build but with a 3mm ID.
Got my Zeus today... I found it easy to build and wick. I used some 26g SS wire, 8 wraps, 0,5 ohm.
I vape it at 40 Watts and even though the first 10-15 puffs were amazing, suddenly the flavor became kinda mute... Like I am vaping a very inferior version of what it used to be, if that makes any sense.
I am gonna try some other builds... I am aligning the coil so it gets air from both above and the side.
I can see bubbles, it is wicking properly... But the taste disappeared for some reason...

Did you try lowering watts and adjusting af? I'm guessing the coil got too hot. If you don't give ss time to cool down you need to lower watts to maintain flavor.
This is exactly what happened to me (see my post above) - but my new .8 build with clapton is so much better - I think it's a pretty unforgiving tank and takes some patience to find something you like to work with it, but when you do it's very rewarding - it's a nice looking tank (I've got the gunmetal one), solid and leakproof - it's all down to personal preference but the vape that it gives me now is just what I was after.
For me its my taste buds that usually go mute after vaping the same ejuice for a while.That is why I switch flavors constantly and have 7 devices/flavors in my rotation.
I wish I could find more flavors that I like. I've been using the same 2 liquids for 7 years and one of them stopped selling theirs. The search for another is costing big $$$. They are tobacco flavors but they really don't taste like tobacco.For me its my taste buds that usually go mute after vaping the same ejuice for a while.That is why I switch flavors constantly and have 7 devices/flavors in my rotation.
Have you thought about mixing your own flavors? I generally spend around $3/60ml for all of my juice. And I have about 10 different juices in rotation. My newest one is an apple fritter that I am trying to perfect.
This is a copy of an email I sent to a guy that was working on my house, and he said he was spending $150-200/month on juice. I told him that between my wife and I, we were spending less than $36/month.
Seems to me the flavor is better when tank is topped off and diminishes as tank empties. I think others have said the same, if I'm not mistaken.
Been trying it for about 2 years now. I just can't find the correct tobacco flavor. It's been over 7 years of vaping and I have only liked 3 different store bought liquids. I am very picky when it comes to these liquids.
PM Beamslider about tobaccos. He can lead you other tobacco lovers too. I'm guessing that you aren't crazy about dessert tobaccos. Those are easy.
Thanks for your help and No not at all for desserts. I dislike desserts, fruits, candy etc. I only vape tobacco.
But they don't taste like tobacco... I can't even describe them either.
