I am not familiar with Zeus X, still some advices:
1. Comb out the wicks more (Zeus X has really long wicks)
2. Experiment with VG and distilled water - I use 95% VG + 5% water. Beware though
that adding more water may result in unpleasant vape, especially on non-bottom airflow.
Also the juice must be really consistent (mixed very well), otherwise if VG is still separate
from the water, water will wick much faster than the VG, causing unpleasant effects.
3. Use an atomizer with shorter wicks (coil height above the wicking slots).
