DragonGunner Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Hello everyone. I'm going to make a feeble attempt at reviewing the Vapor Zeus and smileomizers that I just bought. I am still a relatively new vapor having quit analogs a little over 3 months ago, so please bare with me and my very newb review). The Zeus battery that I ordered is the smaller automatic version 900 mah (cigar colored) and the smileomizers are the 3.5 ml version. Packaging (2/5 stars) For the price of the unit and smileomizers I was expecting it to be presented in a nice box of some sort. Wrong expectations there. The zeus and smileomizers arrived wrapped in the standard USPS bubble envelope. The zeus battery and the smileomizers were all in individual small boxes. The charger was just inside a plastic baggie.When I opened the package up I immediately thought, "oh crap they didn't send the battery", because the battery was in a box with the same look that the smileomizers were in but just a little longer. I really kind of freaked out for a minute until I found the box with the battery in it. Zeus Battery (3/5 stars because the one I have is not functioning properly, but if it was working properly I would probably rate it 5/5 stars) The 900 mah Zeus battery itself is about a 1/4 inch longer than my 1300 mah vision spinner battery and noticeably slimmer. I ordered the cigar colored one and while it does look cool, in my opinion as a former cigar smoker does not look at all like a cigar to me. That being said others who saw vaping me from a distance did in fact think that I was smoking a cigar. The feel of the zeus battery is the same as my spinner. At the moment I'm not testing the battery out and can not really get into how long it has lasted me because I am experiencing problems with it. I cannot comment on how long the battery has lasted me due to a dud battery. The problem with my battery is this. After a couple of vapes the battery keeps on discharging. I can tell this by the sizzling and popping the smileomizer continues to make. This seems to happen very often although at times nearly continuous forcing me to remove the smileomizer for fear of it burning out. It seems that some type of switch is stuck internally. I have contacted Vapor4life customer support and will write my comments about their support in just a bit. So at the moment when I vape with the vapor zeus I must remove the battery after several vapes so as not to burn out the smileomizer. Smileomizer (5/5 stars) The smileomizer (3.5 ml version) in my opinion is utterly amazing. My current set up PV is a vision spinner 1300 Mah with an STV Nova tank and a 1.8 ohm atty running at about 4.2 volts. The zeus battery with the smileomizer attached is exactly the same length of my spinner with the stv nova tank. The smileomizer is set at 2.5 ohms running at about 5 volts. A drag from of the smileomizer is extremely effortless and really fun experience. The smileomizer hands down takes the cake as far as flavor and vapor production. I put in the same e-liquid (Napalm from Mister-e-liquid 67/33 pg/vg) and tested both. There was a distinct difference -for the better- in the flavor coming from the smileomizer. Now I am not a seasoned vapor like many of you, but for me to notice the difference was quite amazing. Vapor production from the smileomizer in comparison to my current PV is very noticeable. I am a huge fan of tons of vapor. The smileomizer comes with a huge rubber tip. It does take getting used to and many might find it way to large, but coming from smoking large gauge cigars this is not a problem for me. I absolutely love the way I can just bite down on it as a cigar and carry on with my chores while vaping hands free. Reading through the vapor4life forums I did find out that vapor4life is going to come out with different tips for those who prefer something a bit smaller or traditional. Customer Service (5/5 stars, and would rate higher if I could) Like I previously mentioned my Zeus battery is pretty much a dud. I joined the vapor4life forums and posted my experience and asked for advise and to find out if my problem was normal or not. Many members responded as well as one of the vapor4life staff. He immediately wrote that my problem was not normal and that he would send me out another zeus battery by the end of the day. True to his word and only going on mine without proof that my battery was in fact a dud, mailed out another battery. All other forum members were quick to say that vapor4life really stick behind their products and from my experience I could not agree more. Conclusion Overall I am extremely pleased with my purchase, other than a dud battery. Even with this experience I would no doubt give the vapor zeus and smileomizer a double thumbs up and would not have hesitated to purchase another zeus battery on my own, had vapor4life not mailed me a new one. I know that the pricing is pretty steep for many people out there, but for me it was well worth it and I would highly recommend it to anyone willing to pay the price. Please remember your experiences may vary. Well that's it folks. I hope you enjoyed the review. Please forgive my grammatical errors. Have a great day.
