ZEUS SUBOHM TANK REVIEWED BY BIGBOB2322

Nice write up Bob, thanks. I have problems with drop in coiled tanks as well. Prefer my rtas so sometimes a tank will sit several days without use; always either floods or leaks. Think these types of tanks are better suited for those it will be their primary in daily use.

 

Man I do not sub0hm but that is just one lovely looking tank.

Thanks as always for the review @bigbob2322 !

I found the top cap to be a little hard to get a hold of to open for refilling. Also, when trying to remove the top cap, I found it easy to accidently turn the airflow. Maybe it's my fumble fingers but that was my experience. I love my zeus rta's and will stick with those.

 

I'm running my 3 Zeus subohm tanks WFO at 70W, liquid starts creeping up into the driptip if I restrict airflow but I chainvape Max VG. No restriction = no problem. I'm running all three with the .2Ω coil.

I make 120ml DIY at a time.
I ran 120ml of my green apple through with no drop in flavor production.
I cleared the cotton with 5ml of unflavored and have about 10ml of Blueberry DIY through it now.
Still excellent flavor after 135ml so if it croaked now I'd be satisfied.
I haven't tried the .4Ω coils yet but I'll stock a dozen packs of the .2Ω during the Holiday sales.

I stocked about 120 .2Ω Supermesh coils for Aero/Cerberus tanks and I'm still thrilled with that.
I run the Aero tank .2Ω coils at 62.5 and the Zeus coils are similar at 70W.
WFO always or Max VG creeps.
Great review of a great tank. Thanks @bigbob2322

 

I forgot to say I almost always get 120ml min through the .2Ω Aero Supermesh with my DIY. A few times over 250ml but I had to pin poke the cotton at the holes on the sides of the coil (after 230mls or so) because they eventually get "glazed". Pin poke those holes and the juice flows better. Just a few pin pr*cks at each hole when the flavor drops. Any more and it's too much flow and it's a gurglefest.

Nametag me in here in a few days because I'll probably forget.

 

Very nice review, Bob. I appreciate the effort.

@Mowgli IIRC, your DIY mostly uses very low percentages of flavor, right? Commercial juices are so tough on drop in coils from the excess sweeteners, it's been a very rare for me to find a coil that's relatively long lasting with them. I haven't been able to DIY due to my personal circumstance for the last year or so, and relying on retail juice I almost never use any of my tanks that use drop in coils.

Bob, I've noticed a pattern on a transition to these press fit drop in coils over the old screw in type. Do you think this is all to reduce the leaky problems users reported with screw in fittings? And while not an issue with this top air design, do you think the change has helped the situation?

 

I use either Flavor West or MBV Hawk Sauce & Banana Cream Pie about 90% of the time.
In Max VG I use 20% flavoring for my friends.
I use 10% for myself because I can only tolerate about 10% PG.

I don't continue to use any supercrud flavors. Most of what I use are sweet-ish but clean-ish
FW yellowcake, FW Cakebatter (IIRC) & FW Bananas Foster are their worst.
Evan at 10% I couldn't get a full tank of those through an Aromamizer without rewicking.

 

Damn it! I wasn't paying attention and got 1/2 a dry hit.
ARGGGGH. I loaded it up and tried to vape through it and got another hotter hit.
Imma fusking spaceshot sometimes.
I'm going to inspect it and pin poke some holes and see if I can vape through it.
I think it's burnt toast though

Spoke too soon edit - the flavor might be coming back already, I'll update later

 

Plenty of blueberry with a touch of burnt toast. D'OH!

Switching to another with 70ml of my PBT DIY through it.
Not as gunky as it sounds and deeeelicious.
75% FW peanut butter / 25% FW Toffee Dream Cream in 5% DW Max VG 2mg/ml

The Blueberry Burnt toast coil is junk after it suffered a vapus interuptus brainfart after 135ml
I'll keep you posted on the PBT .2Ω while I pay attention to the juice level in this guzzler.

 

The airflow ring on the one I got turned almost too easy.

 

I'll bump this TTT to say I decided to compare the .2Ω to the .4Ω
I got a pair of HMM Heavy Tips in today's vapemail.
The twins are basically identical now besides the coils.
I'll mix another batch of PBT to keep this flavor train rolling.
edit - the .4Ω seems to crank as good as the .2Ω at 70W. So far so good.

 

I lost track of how many mls have been through which coil but they've been getting random somewhat even use. It must be at least 200ml of PBT through the first PBT coil so I'll be stocking these as much as possible as soon as possible. There's not enough difference between the .2 and .4 to matter for me. Both are excellent and I'll stock whatever's available of those.
