First thing I thought as well. Nice to see more top airflow design RTA's, both Engines are killer tanks. Not only doesn't leak but the tank stays cool.It's designed exactly the same as the OBS Engine RTA and OBS Engine Nano RTA, which has been out for awhile now. Only benefit to going with the Geekvape model would be maybe you can get aftermarket seals, where the OBS I can't find a replacement baggie of seals.
I got my GeekVape Zeus from Heaven Gifts and so far I'm liking it! It's easy to build on, it might take a time or two to figure just how long to leave the legs for the postless deck, but it's a snap once you get it. I love the airflow, it has air from under and sides of the coil and is very smooth. Wicking is very easy, easier than the OBS Nano, I have the tails just below the deck. I wicked it right the first time out and haven't had any issues with flooding or spitting. I like the 810 drip tip, but didn't really like how they did the locking mechanism for the top cap. Condensation pools a bit in that mechanism which is at the base of the drip tip. I also wish they had recessed the fill ports.
Overall, I really like it, I haven't had any leaking or seeping. I think it has better flavor than my OBS Nano, and I like my Nano, I like the airflow better, it's easier to wick and looks nicer too.
Here is the Zeus next to my OBS Nano
I haven't had any filling issues, I've used droppers and plastic squeeze bottles and filling was easy. I wish the fill ports were recessed tho, that would let the condensation from the top cap drain better. I end up getting a couple drips here and there from the cap. If you like the Ammit and the Nano, you should like the Zeus as well.I have the nano as well, its my go to tank at the moment. I rotate between it and the ammit 25. my zeus should get here Monday, I'm hoping it replaces both. I have seen a few videos where they were filling it and the juice kinda made a mess cause it wasn't going in smoothly.
This is topping my wish list atm. Definitely plan to snag one up the first good US based sale I see on one.

got mine this morning, used a framed staple coil at .30 ohms, wicked it and been going strong already refilled it about 4 times.
good flavor, I can chain vape it with no dry hits. the fill holes are a bit small compared to my obs nano and ammit 25 but I just fill a little slower and its all good.
id recommend it to anyone that likes single coil tanks!
I hope you enjoy it!Mine just shipped from Eciggity. FT keeps pushing back ship date, got tired of waiting. Second positive post I've seen today, so far so good.
I believe I will. How was dropping the coil in? Looks like it could be a pita until you find a sweet spot method.I hope you enjoy it!
I used a prebuilt, just eyeballed it, clipped it a second time and was just right.I believe I will. How was dropping the coil in? Looks like it could be a pita until you find a sweet spot method.

Saw that, but I have a firm "don't spend over $25 shipped on a tank" rule I adhere to which has done wonders in keeping the new shiny urge and vaping budget in check. Not to mention drastically reduces the chance I end up buying something I don't end up caring for, since those type of sales usually coincide with when the reviews from actual everyday users not trying to sell me something start piling up.
But's that's just me. Give me the 10 page thread of everyday user comments, who I can then also compare a few select people I look out for opinion's on past tanks that might have lined with what I like, over a sponsored youetube review any day of the week. If that means I have to wait...I wait.
ive accumulated 16 tanks in the 4 years ive been vaping, so not so bad but not so good either
I have the obs engine nano and love it , I was considering this tank is there much of a difference between the 2?Finally got one of mine, love it. If you get one order 2.5x4 grubs, the included flat heads are a pita IMO. Flavor and air is very good and I haven't dialed in my sweet spot yet.
Yes and no. The Nano for me is a snap to coil and wick. The Zeus is easy enough, but not as convenient. The af posts will take some getting use to. Daniel's tip about using deck to clip the coil legs is spot on. Wicking isn't hard, just different. After a couple of builds will probably be as fast setting up as Nano. Flavor for me is pretty close. Zeus af is wonderful and smooth at any setting.I have the obs engine nano and love it , I was considering this tank is there much of a difference between the 2?

I would say @Letitia9 is pretty much correct on it, yes and no. The Nano is easier to build on, but after a couple times the Zeus is a snap. I like the wicking on the Zeus better, think it's more forgiving than the Nano, but same thing after a couple times, the Nano is a snap. I do like the AF on the Zeus a little better and think it has a slight edge on flavor, but it's close. I prefer the filling on the Nano. If you like the Nano, you'll probably like the Zeus.I have the obs engine nano and love it , I was considering this tank is there much of a difference between the 2?

Same here, the Zeus will just join the rotation and using a larger coil.For myself, the Zeus will not be replacing my Nanos but will be joining them in daily rotation. I'm coming to the conclusion that I will be using different builds in each. In Zeus larger id coils definitely.
Have you noticed sweet juices taste sweeter in Zeus?Same here, the Zeus will just join the rotation and using a larger coil.
Haven't noticed, I'll have to check it out. I have noticed that my wicks in the Zeus seems to last a little longer than in the Nano.Have you noticed sweet juices taste sweeter in Zeus?
My last order from GB did the same. That's why it will be my last order from GB.Now I'm kinda kicking myself in the ass for not just waiting until Black Friday and grabbing one for the same price shipped out of Ecigity with their 30%off coupon code.
Gearbest actually ended up splitting my order in two (I got a black and a blue), then shipping one a couple of days after the other. Both are still listed as being in China. Which goes back to reminding me why I had stopped ordering from GB in favor of other china retailers in the first place.
@SnapDragon NY I'm glad you like it! I need to throw another build in mine... did a quickie to test it, and I'm getting some dry hits... too much wick on one side I believe. I'm only getting bubbles on one side, so I probably choked off the wick channel. But... Not a leak! Do that on a bottom air tank and your likely gonna be leaking. Haven't had any time to re-wick it yet, but this inspired me... gonna have to take a moment today to do it! ENJOY!!!
Your coil should be parallel with the air towers not the wick channels. Thin wick tails and you're good to go. As long as the top of your coil is no taller than top hole in air towers you're fine.
