Thanks Mitz will check out the tanks you have mentioned keep me updated on the Zeus X very interested to hear what that's like.
So my Zeus X arrived yesterday. I built it last night but I was so tired I didn't even try vaping it. I put it to the side and went to bed. I've just gone back to it to see how it vapes.
First and foremost it's definitely one of the sexiest rtas I've seen in a long time. Looks awesome.
I love the removable inner chamber as you can build the deck and place the removable chamber over the deck to see how the coils line up with the airflow holes and to make sure the coils don't make contact with the chimney causing a short. A very nice touch.
Like most rtas - small adjustments can make big differences. And this tank is no different. I used the coils provided and built the coils low to the deck. Flavour is decent but I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that there is room for major improvement. I feel the coils are going to need to be placed higher to maximise the top row of air holes in the roof section of the removable barrel.
The drip tip looks awesome but is not the most functional. The low profile drip tip combined with top airflow makes purging an issue.
Some tanks I can give an almost instant verdict on and others I require more time with. This is the latter. I'm going to need to play with this tank for a few days using my own coils and testing out different coil heights.
Performance wise I couldn't recommend this right now. I need a few days before I can give an informed opinion on its potential performance capabilities.
As far as appearance goes; its one damn saxy piece of kit.
I'll post an update once I've had more time to test it.
The Manta I can definitely recommend as it's a tried and tested tank that I know very well. It's definitely a worthwhile tank to purchase and is undoubtedly one of the best rtas released to date. Leaking issues mentioned in other posts are due to wicking and user error. Built and wicked correctly - its a beast. Will the Zeus X compare? I'll let you know in a few days.
Damn sexy tho!
