Zeus ARC GT3 Hub: A Convenient and Cutting-edge Vaporizer

zeus arc gt3 vaporizer

The Zeus ARC GT3 from Zeus Arsenal reaches a new high of convenience. With cutting-edge technology in the world of dry herb vaporizers, this third-generation vaporizer offers a convenient vaporizer hub kit that makes vape sessions easier for our busy lives.

The Zeus ARC GT3 uses a gold-plated chamber and a zirconia vapor path producing exceptional and pure vapor. With its sleek design, and its remarkable battery life, the GT3 vaporizer delivers a truly premium vaping experience.

This beautifully designed vaporizer is packed with features. It’s a highly discreet and portable vaporizer that helps you stay lowkey and stylin’ on your friends with your Gucci belt and Versace watch.

Let’s jump right in and explore the Zeus ARC GT3 vape, and find out how high this thing goes.

Vapor Quality: A Gold-Plated High

The GT3 vaporizer uses conduction heating, where the chamber heats the cannabis by making direct contact to produce vapor. Engineered in Germany, it’s built from premium grade materials: gold-plated and anodized aluminum, zirconia and medical-grade silicone.

While many popular portable vaporizers today use convection heating, the Zeus ARC GT3, as a conduction vaporizer, still delivers exceptional vapor. Thanks to its revolutionary vapor production using gold-sink technology, the Zeus GT3 is simply the best conduction vaporizer available.

When it comes to vapor quality, I look at three different factors that determine how much I like a vaporizer: airflow, vapor flavor, and cloud production.

Airflow

The most significant upgrade in the Zeus ARC GT3 is its 20% improved airflow from the previous GTS model. The GT3 has a new and improved design that has more open and smooth airflow, similar to the Zeus ARC S vaporizer, which has good airflow (It’s worth noting the Zeus ARC S is a less premium version of the GT3).

While the GT3’s airflow is very good for a conduction vaporizer, convection vaporizers like the Utillian 723, Airvape Legacy Pro, and Venty vaporizer have the edge for airflow, so there is room for further innovation. Nonetheless, the GT3’s airflow is a notable improvement and a key feature of its enhanced performance.

Vapor Flavor

The vapor flavor is good for a conduction vaporizer. While the flavor is a notch lower than other high-end, convection vaporizers, such as the Arizer Solo 3 and its glass mouthpiece, the GT3’s gold and zirconia parts certainly help. This combination of gold and zirconia produce a unique quality of flavor that is above average in the industry and best in its own category of conduction vapes.

Vape Hack: Your cannabis strain plays a huge role in vapor flavor. Try different strains like Mango Haze to see how you like the flavor.

For the best flavor, start your session at the lowest temperature; remember the flavor does quickly diminish. The Cinderella story starts at higher temperatures, where the Zeus ARC GT3 really shines.

Cloud Production

Clouds on the GT3 vaporizer are best at the highest temperature setting shown with 3 solid LED lights. At this level, the vapor clouds are hearty and full-bodied thanks to the gold-plated chamber and vaporizer parts, delivering a satisfying elevation.

For the best clouds, let it cook for 10-15 seconds past the vibration notification.

The zirconia and gold-plated aluminum makes an excellent vapor path keeping the terpenes as pure as possible during vaporization. Good for conduction, and great for getting high.

Vape Hack: Remember to regularly clean your GT3 mouthpiece every few sessions to keep the clouds hearty and full. This helps with the airflow too.

Heating System: Gold-Plated Chamber

zeus arc gt3 chamber

The Zeus ARC GT3 produces its vapor from a unique combination of gold-plated vaporizer parts and conduction heating. As a high-end vaporizer, this use of gold with conduction heating is very unique from other dry herb vaporizers.

Let’s look under the hood of the GT3 vape’s gold-plated parts + conduction heating:

Gold sink technology

Gold has many traits that enhance the vapor quality, including:

  • Superior thermal conductivity (excellent heat distribution)
  • Resistance to oxidation (rust and bacteria resistance)
  • Exceptional purity (keeping terpenes and vapor flavor pure)

It’s important to note that “gold-plated” means a thin layer of gold is covering another metal, like stainless steel or aluminum for a gold finish. It is not solid gold, which would be very expensive.

The GT3 chamber is made of gold-plated aluminum.

Conduction vaporizer

Here are some qualities of conduction ovens:

  • Efficient heat transfer, making direct contact with materials
  • More compact, taking up less space (discreet and portable)
  • Best for high heat (good for cooking, or getting cooked if ya know what I mean)

Sleek, Stylish and Discreet Vaporizer

The GT3 vaporizer’s biggest strength is its discreteness, and portability. Conduction heating makes this possible, requiring less housing space to make the vaporizer smaller. The GT3 is a pocket-sized vaporizer that you can hide completely in your hand.

zeus arc gt3 discreet

People on the street will see you bringing your hand to your mouth, breathing out vapor (that was in your hand) and will think you’re a magician. Is that David Blaine?

It’s a beautifully constructed vaporizer too, with a smooth and sexy finish made of corrosion-resistant, anodized aluminum. This gives it a subtle and mysterious look. It certainly makes you look like James Bond at your yacht club.

Hey James Bong, what is that thing? Is it a jet lighter? Is it a camera? Is it a key fob to a Ferrari? Does it hold tranquilizer or ammo? What is it?

It’s a vape.

To check the battery life, shake the vaporizer and the color-coded LED will turn red showing the battery life: 1 red bar for low battery and 3 red bars for full battery.

Smart and Powerful Battery with USB-C Charging

The battery life on the GT3 is remarkable. It has a 3500mah battery that lasts for roughly 90 minutes of continuous usage; approximately 6 to 8 sessions. The GT3 vape battery takes about an hour… and a half (or longer) to fully recharge.

The USB-C charging is a nice addition too, unifying it with your cell phone charger.

The GT3 also has a motion-sensor that helps preserve battery life when the vaporizer is dormant for a period of time. This motion sensor is also what lets you check the battery life when you shake the vaporizer.

zeus arc gt3 battery

Putting the battery life to the test, I took the GT3 out for a “walk test”, where I walk for over an hour sometimes. For 40 minutes of walking, I tried to drain the battery, turning it on every time it shut off. (I wasn’t vaping, just leaving it on.)

I got tired after 40 minutes and I gave up. The GT3 vape battery won.

Bong Compatible Vaporizer: Add Humidity to Your High

If you like vaping through bongs and bubblers, you’re in luck with Zeus ARC GT3 accessories.

There is a GT3 water pipe adapter, or bong adapter accessory called the Zeus ARC Iceborn Adapter (sold separately). This will fit any 10mm, 14mm and 18mm bong or water pipe, providing more cooling and humidity to smoothen your vapor.

You can pair the Zeus ARC Iceborn Adapter with the Zeus Iceborn ice chamber, or checkout our 14mm Glass Bubblers:

Zeus Hub: A Home for Your Vaporizer

The Zeus ARC GT3 is a third-generation vaporizer. This means it comes with its own vaporizer hub, with a pod system, grinder, loading station, and debowler for your convenience.

zeus arc gt3 vaporizer hub

Here is a run down of the Zeus Hub kit:

Zeus ArcPods: convenient pod system

zeus arc gt3 arcpods

Zeus ArcPods are cannabis dosing capsules designed for the Zeus ARC GT3 vaporizer; used to organize your doses and keep your vaporizer clean. After use, remove the paper lid and dump the ABV (Already Been Vaped weed) into the debowler. Twist the ArcPod on the spire to help empty it.

For added portability, use our Zeus ArcPod compatible cannabis storage keychain to take your dosing pods or ground cannabis anywhere. This storage keychain is an exclusive TOOLS420 product, and it’s definitely an underrated one.

Zeus Xtruder: pod system grinder

zeus arc gt3 dosing capsule

The Zeus Xtruder grinder helps fill the Zeus ArcPods with ground flower. The Arcpod sits inside the base and the Xtruder fully loads the dosing pod. Once it’s full, pop off the base and cap the capsule with a Zeus ArcPods paper lid. It’s ready to vape.

I found the Xtruder grinder works best when you load a ton of weed and fill a bunch of capsules at once, versus just fill one at a time. You’re getting all your doses ready for the week… or for the day, depending on your usage.

E-Module: automatic, electronic grinder

zeus arc gt3 electric

What’s cool about the Zeus ARC GT3 Hub is it has the option to purchase it with or without the E-Module for the Xtruder grinder: Zeus ARC GT3 Electric or Non-electric.

I find the automatic grinding is useful and definitely worth the upgrade. Using the Xtruder manually felt somewhat draining, more than a normal grinder. (Check out the other Zeus grinders Zeus BOLT 2 and Zeus BOLT XL)

The only bummer is when the e-module is installed, it sticks out of the hub kit and looks kinda goofy. This is by no means a deal breaker, I found that funny and left me scratching my head when I used it. For users with arthritis in their hands, the E-module Xtruder is super useful.

Vape Hack: the Xtruder grinder works with other products outside of Zeus. Use the Xtruder with E-module to fill your other vaporizer chambers, joints or glass smoking pieces.

Zeus ARC GT3 Cleaning: A Learning Curve

When you first clean the Zeus ARC GT3, there is a learning curve getting through the nooks and crannies of the vaporizer. Cleaning does get easier over time once you understand the process.

Vape Hack: The GT3 magnetic tool at the bottom helps a lot with cleaning the GT3.

zeus arc gt3 how to remove mouthpiece

Cleaning the mouthpiece & heat sink:

zeus arc gt3 magnetic tool

Remove the oven screen and the GT3 Heat Sink, slide the gold-plate off the zirconia (use the magnetic tool) and clean them separately with isopropyl (like Orange Chronic) or Zeus Purify alcohol-free cleaning solution. Make sure the heat sink is installed with the square opening facing down, into the chamber.

Vape Hack: Grab a pack of cleaning iso wipes in our Cleaning Bundle or a bristle brush to help clean the heat sink faster and easier.

zeus arc gt3 how to clean heat sink

Cleaning the flow sink:

Use the flow sink rod tool to pop out the flow sink cylinder, and flow sink screen from the bottom of the vaporizer and clean with iso. They are small parts, so be careful not to lose them.

Once cleaned, drop the cylinder back in the chamber and push the flow sink screen into the bottom of the chamber with the flow sink tool. After enough usage, the GT3 flow sink screens will need to be replaced.

Some other cleaning supplies you may need:

Utillian 723 vs. Zeus ARC GT3

Utillian 723 vs zeus arc gt3

Utillian 723 is a convection vaporizer that’s much easier to clean and maintain. The U723 also uses a zirconia mouthpiece, but has a convection heating system instead of conduction on the GT3, giving it the edge for vapor production and flavor over the GT3. The Utillian 723 does have a bong adapter, but its mouthpiece does work with the Zeus Iceborn whip tubing.

Zeus ARC GT3, with its gold-plated conduction, is more discreet. It looks sleeker and more subtle than the Utillian 723, which is bigger and clunky in comparison. The GT3’s hub kit with Zeus ArcPods and Xtruder is another nice part of its charm, providing a more complete vaping experience. The GT3 works with a bong and the Zeus Iceborn using the Zeus ARC Iceborn adapter accessory.

U723 vs GT3

Both are solid vaporizers, it just comes down to your preference.

The Zeus ARC GT3 is a great hand warmer. It’s a useful decoy for staying lowkey around kids, and especially if you get cold hands, or live in Canada like me (or somewhere cold).

With Zeus ArcPods, sandwich concentrates in between two layers of dry herb for a unique dabbing experience (please know this will require more cleaning). If dabbing is your thing, check out the best electronic dab rigs for more reviews.

Cons:

  • Conduction heating (Convection is generally more popular)
  • The vapor flavor is a notch lower than other high-end vaporizers
  • Limited temperature options (performs best at high temperatures)
  • The vaporizer cannot be purchased by itself (only available with the full Zeus Hub) 
  • Cleaning the vaporizer has a learning curve

Conclusion: A Sexy, Discreet and Convenient Vaporizer

I enjoy using the Zeus ARC GT3. Holding it in my hand, it feels premium and it’s so elegant to look at. It definitely looks cool with your watch or cologne collection.

The upgrades to its airflow and USB-C charging help enhance its three (3) key strengths: gold-plated vapor, powerful battery life, and portability & discreteness. Packaged with a convenient vaporizer hub with dosing capsules and a grinder, it drives home a great vaping experience.

zeus arc gt3 arcpods lid

It falls short in a few key areas… For instance, cleaning takes more effort than most dry herb vaporizers, but it gets easier once you’re familiar with it. While the vapor production and flavor are solid for a conduction vaporizer, I wouldn’t blame you if your heart is set on a convection vaporizer like the Utillian 723 or the Venty by Storz & Bickel.

So who is the Zeus ARC GT3 vaporizer best for?

It’s best for portable dry herb vape users who want a small, discreet, and attractive vaporizer with strong battery life, and the convenience of the Zeus Hub with everything you need to get high. With gold-plated vaporizer parts, the Zeus ARC GT3 vaporizer is a solid choice in my books, and certainly makes a fashion statement.
