The Vape Revolution: How Far We've Come in 15 Years
It's hard to believe it's been 15 years since I first traded an ounce of weed for my first dry herb vaporizer. The thing was as big as a car radio and looked more like a clunky household appliance than a portable or discreet vape. Fast forward to today, and we have devices that are smaller, sleeker, and infinitely more effective.
The Zeus Arc GT4 is one such device that has won me over with its impressive performance, convenience, and luxury features. The compact metal body is solid in the hand, and the 24-karat gold coating inside the chamber and vapor path makes it stand out from other vapes on the market. This is no gimmick; the gold conducts heat evenly, preventing residue buildup that can affect flavor and consistency.
What truly sets the GT4 apart is its exceptional vapor quality. With lower temperatures, you get crisp, terpene-rich flavors, while mid-range settings deliver a sweet spot with full flavor and heavier vapor. Higher settings produce thicker clouds without ever tasting burnt or harsh.
The device also boasts an innovative dual-screen filtration system that keeps the vapor smooth by catching fine particles before they reach your mouth. And, with ArcPods, you can pre-load small metal pods containing ground flower, making it quick and convenient to vape anywhere.
One feature that impressed me was the airflow control – simply remove a small internal insert to open the draw for pods, or reinstall it for a denser conduction-style hit without the pods. The 3500mAh battery easily lasted me through multiple sessions before needing a charge, with USB-C charging taking only about 90 minutes.
Other notable features include a motion sensor that helps preserve battery life by cooling the device when idle, and a separate mode for concentrates with an included wax pod that handles rosin and resin efficiently. However, if you're looking for a concentrate-only vape, I still recommend the Utillian 6.
The only downside to the Zeus Arc GT4 is its hefty price tag of $380. While it's not for everyone, if you're willing to invest in luxury and high-quality output, this device delivers.
If budget is a concern, Zeus also offers the more affordable Arc GT3, which still works well despite being significantly cheaper at $190.

. 15 years ago I was lucky if I could get 5 mins of vapor before it started to burn out 
. Now we got fancy devices like the Zeus Arc GT4 with gold chambers 
... and still, it's pricey 
! 15 years have come and gone since I first got into dry herb vaping, and it's wild to see how far we've come. The Zeus Arc GT4 is giving me all the feels - sleek design, top-notch performance, and luxury features that make it stand out from the crowd 
.
And with the motion sensor, my battery life is basically forever. It's also dope that Zeus offers a more affordable option in the Arc GT3 - $190 is still a bit pricey for some, but if you're feeling invested, this thing delivers!
... they're like mini computers or something! I mean, what's up with all the fancy features? Like, who needs 24-karat gold inside a vape device? 
. But at the same time, if it delivers on its promises and produces super smooth vapor, I guess it's worth it... but what about all the other options out there for different budgets? Are they still good alternatives? 
and makes such a difference in flavor and vapor quality.
. And pre-loading pods with ground flower using ArcPods? Genius 
. But $380 is a bit steep for me, I'd rather spend that on a sick gaming rig or something 
.
. And the arc gt3 is still a solid option at $190 – anyone know where to cop one? 
. I mean, can you even imagine vaping on a device that's as small as a phone 
? The Zeus Arc GT4 is straight fire 
. And the vapor quality? Mind-blowing 
. I love how it has all these settings for different types of vape, from low and slow to high and thick 
. The Arc GT3 is still a solid option though, especially for those who don't want to break the bank 
. That's a huge number, especially considering the market was only around 1% of the overall cannabis industry back in 2010 
. And let's not forget about the different types of vapes available now, from dry herb to concentrates... it's a wild world out there! 
.
. With devices like the Zeus Arc GT4 and others, you can enjoy high-quality vapor anywhere, anytime - whether that's at home, on-the-go, or in a social setting 
.
!
. The fact that you can get such high-quality vapor without even breaking a sweat is insane - lower temperatures for crisp flavors or mid-range settings for sweet spot vibes? Yes please! 
. And the airflow control feature? Genius! It's so cool that they included an option for pods, making vaping on-the-go a breeze.
. Has anyone else tried the Zeus Arc GT4 or any of their other devices? What are your thoughts on the latest vape trends? 
. Of course, there's still room for improvement – I'd love to see some more affordable options in the market 
.
. It's still seen as a taboo topic by some people, but vaping has its benefits – especially when it comes to cannabis oil 
. Maybe we need to normalize the conversation and focus on the positives? 
.
. And it's not just the design, the performance is insane too! The gold chamber thing is pure genius 
. We're not just talkin' about getting high, we're talkin' about the experience, the quality of life, and now we got devices that are makin' it all possible 
. And hey, maybe one day we'll have vapes that are as small as a fitbit, who knows?
