So I just got my Geekvape Zeus. When I try to use it I get a "short circuit" error. Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it? I tried screwing it in tighter and looser and nothing works.

Since it's new, did you take apart and clean the tank? Sometimes metal fragments can be left behind from the manufacturing process.
Next, check all your connections:
That should sort things out, but if it doesn't let us know. It could be a defective tank, but Geekvape's usually pretty reliable.
Next, check all your connections:
- Coil to tank - Is the coil properly screwed in or seated?
- tank to mod - It sounds like you've covered this, but an extra check wouldn't hurt.

I'll try using a different coil. The one that's in it is the one that came with the tank. I'll clean it, as well.
One thing that didn't sit well with me was when I opened the box I saw one of the o-rings on it was hanging off. I put it back in but it seems too loose. Not a good thing for a brand new tank. I expected more from Geekvape.
Thank you all for the replies. When I get home and try the new coil I'll let yall know if it works or not.

Remove the coil and only screw the base of the tank onto the mod then fire it without a coil. If you still get "short circuit" warning, then you know that the short exists somwehere in the base of the tank not in the coil.
Correvtion, the above does not necessarily mean that the short is in the base, however you know it's not in the coil. It could possibly be that if the mod shows short circuit with only the tank base installed, and it's not the base, it could be the 510 of the mod is squishing the positive pin of the mod to short out. You'll have to troubleshoot.
For factory coils, first make sure your coil is properly seated. If it still doesn’t work, try another coil. If the new coil works, you just got a bum coil which happens from time to time. For rebuildables, make sure to check your coils and all the connections are tight. The screws on a post may loosen a bit after during the build process—they may also loosen gradually with time. Also, make sure there is enough clearance between the top cap (or chimney) and the coil. If the coil touches any metal other than the posts, it will short.
A leg end touching anything but the post can cause this error as well. Make sure the ends are trimmed as close to the post as possible.
So I guess like yall said the coil was a dud. I replaced it and it works.
However, remember I told you guys about the o-ring that wasn't in place? Well, when I unscrewed the top to fill with ejuice, the entire circular metal piece that's used to adjust the airflow came off! It's like they sent me a tank the manufacturer meant to throw away or something. Unreal.

Yeah, the top AF ring was designed weird for the Zeus. The cap is what seats/holds the AFC in place - as SlowTalker mentioned though, it does make it easier to disassemble and clean. Just make sure you remember each time you pop the cap off, so the ring doesn't go flying off.
U gonna get used to removing the topfill without removing the airflow ring also it's ok don't worry....about the oring that u say like that it is really weird and I wonder if the box was properly sealed...
hmmmmmm anyway it's not big deal I guess I had experience once with a tank that had an oring that was bad and it was new it's good that all manufacturer s give us spare orings

Yeah, just sucks when you have to use the only spare immediately after you receive it.U gonna get used to removing the topfill without removing the airflow ring also it's ok don't worry....about the oring that u say like that it is really weird and I wonder if the box was properly sealed...

Yeah now I think about it u don't get the chance to use both the difference resistances and decide which one u want to use....ugh pfffff
It's a fact that in vape gear the quality control is bad in almost all manufacturers
I wouldn't say it's bad for the most part. Most things I've ordered arrive as they should and operate as they should. Unfortunately, there's a balance for profitability in regards to getting stuff out the door. There's a margin of error that has to be factored in, because not everything will be perfect, and they have to accept that - we should also expect that.Yeah now I think about it u don't get the chance to use both the difference resistances and decide which one u want to use....ugh pfffff

Now, if you reach out to them after the fact and they're not willing to fix their mistake, then that's bad on their part.
I got it from Central Vapors. I wrote wrote an email today about it. So I guess we'll see what they do. Unfortunately, I waited about 3 weeks before even opening the box lol.
I'm using the tank right now and I do actually like it. I'm just put off by the early problems but hey, it's a good tank!

A dud coil can happen at any time. It's really a bummer when it occurs with a new setup. Dont expect much from the vendor, except maybe an apology, but hey, you might get a box of coils if they are really nice.
Yeah, I definitely don't expect much. Tbh, I just really wanted them to know about it.
Like I said, I DO like this tank. But I must confess, I just ordered a new Crown 4
I was considering the Crown 5 but it has 1ml less capacity and from the looks of it, the minimum ejuice line is pretty high. I saw a YouTube video that showed you literally hit that line in about 15 vapes. I frequently take my mod to work with me and can't really keep refilling it so, even if I have to clean the drip tip all the damn time, the 6ml capacity is a must for me.
That being said, are there any REALLY good tanks that have a 6ml + capacity I should know about?
Again, thanks for all the replies. Yall are really awesome and this forum is great. I'm glad I finally registered!

I hope you didn't include the air flow ring mishap in that e-mail, or they're going to think you don't know what you're talking about since it was intended to be that way, lol. Hopefully they send you out some coils though!
Well, you have a few sub ohm tank options, but they're rather large. What kind of mod are you using? Off the top of my head, I think your two best choices would be the Smok TFV16 and Valyrian II Pro, which hold 9 and 8 mL of juice respectively. You also have squonks if you're interested in getting into rebuildable decks (coils, wicks, etc), but I won't go into that unless you're planning on going that route. RTAs (Rebuildable tank atomizers - Stream Crave V2 Plus, V3 Supreme, Ragnar to name a few) that can hold upwards of 18+mL. Again, RTAs require building with coils and wicks.
