Welcome to ECF
Some people get a funny aftertaste with certain types of wire.
I get an aftertaste with both kanthal and SS wire so now I only use Ni80.
Maybe if you try SS or kanthal wire you will have a better vape.
Good Luck

Hi and welcome,
Please post a photo or two of your build.
What is the resistance of your build?
How long have you had the ZeusX?
What are you using for wick?
Where are you located?

Cheers
I

After you gently dry burned (i.e., to remove the gunking) your Ni80 coils by letting them glow red-orange and letting them cool down after, you could rinse them with tap water (or mildly sparkling water, which is what I use), and, repeat these steps a few times before doing a final rinse with tap water and letting them dry again. However, I find that after the Ni80 coils have dried, gently pulsing them again and then letting them cool down again before I insert the fresh wicks is all it basically takes to completely get rid of any metallic aftertaste.

I use only premium quality Ni80 wire that's smelted by Sandvik (the same company that owns the official "Kanthal" brand name, which isn't Ni80 of course, but they also do make the best Ni80 wire) in Sweden. Examples of brands that make regular sized spools of premium qualiy wire and that use reliable spooling techniques intended specifically for coil builders are Twisted Messes in the U.S. and wireworks.eu in Europe.

New coils need to be dry burned to remove any gunk or machine oil from them. The same applies to a new RDA/RTA, did you thoroughly wash and clean your atomizer when you bought it?

Welcome and glad you joined.
Could try to alter (other than mentioned) following and adjust to suit:
Diff. flavor mixes plus unflavored until you get metallic taste.
Wick material
Highest ohms and lowest temps.
Lowest ohms and highest temps.
Diff. combos previously mentioned and above.

Are you using a metal drip tip? I try to use drip tips that are made from anything other than metal because I am bothered by the taste.
