Zeus Arc GTS Hub is a set comprising the portable conduction vaporizer Arc GTS, the Zeus Hub for storage and emptying, the Zeus Xtruder, and 15 ArcPods. The chamber and vapor path of the GTS are gold-plated.
Three fixed settings (205, 215 and 225 °C) are selected by pressing a button; a green LED and vibration indicate the status. The 3,500 mAh battery charges via Micro-USB. There is no app or Bluetooth; firmware is updated via PC. Zeus no longer manufactures the set — the successor is the Arc GT3 Hub.
Key Facts — Zeus Arc GTS HubPortable · Heating: Conduction · Heat-up: 80s · Battery: 3500 mAh · Weight: 125g
The GTS is distinguished by its gold-plated chamber and gold-plated vapor path ("Goldsink").
Three fixed temperature levels (205, 215, and 225 °C), a 3,500 mAh battery, and charging via Micro-USB cover everyday use. The GTS has no app or Bluetooth; firmware is updated via PC. Zeus no longer manufactures the set, and the product page now redirects to the Arc GT3 Hub.
The set consists of three parts that work together. The Arc GTS is the actual vaporizer. The Zeus Xtruder grinds the herb and fills it directly into an ArcPod — up to 0.3 g according to the manufacturer — and ejects the capsule once it is full. The Hub keeps the device, Xtruder, and capsules in one place and also serves as a tray over which you empty the chamber using the included tool.
Anyone who has a fixed spot for the device at home can prepare several ArcPods there and take only the GTS and a few filled capsules out with them. The Hub itself stays at home.
Goldsink: gold-plated chamber and gold-plated vapor path
Zeus describes the GTS as featuring a gold-plated chamber and a gold-plated vapor path. Zeus calls this technology "Goldsink" and it is designed to keep the flavor clean. The GTS also received a new mouthpiece.
According to the manual, the GTS model comes with its own dedicated parts: the GTS mouthpiece, the GTS heat sink, and its cover. When cleaning, remove the cover before rinsing. The GTS mouthpiece should not be placed in an alcohol bath — it is cleaned only with a Grime Stick.
Three temperature settings: 205, 215, and 225 °C
The GTS operates with three fixed settings. A short press of the button cycles to the next one:
Setting
Temperature
1
205 °C
2
215 °C
3
225 °C
These values apply to the standard firmware according to the manual. Different settings can be loaded via the PC program "ZEUS UPDATE". There is no app, and there is no degree-precise adjustment on the device itself.
The device is switched on with a two-second button press, confirmed by a long vibration. The LED pulses blue while heating up; once it turns green, the device is ready. TVape measures this at around 80 seconds; the manufacturer itself does not state a heat-up time.
With ArcPods or directly into the chamber
The GTS can be loaded in two ways. With ArcPod: remove the mouthpiece, take out the Flow Sink and screen, then place the ArcPod filled with the Xtruder into the chamber. The chamber must be clean, otherwise the capsule will get stuck. Empty ArcPods can usually be shaken out; otherwise the Flow Sink tool can help from below.
Without ArcPod: fill the chamber with ground herb, fill it completely, and tamp lightly with the multi-tool. A spacer is included for smaller amounts, which sits in the base of the chamber.
The Flow Sink that is inserted determines the draw resistance. According to the manual, it produces a tighter draw and denser vapor. Without the Flow Sink, the device draws more freely and the vapor is lighter.
Battery, Micro-USB, and power-saving features
The built-in battery has 3,500 mAh. Charging is via Micro-USB, not USB-C. The manual requires a charger with 5 V and 1 A and advises against fast chargers. A cable is included; a charger is not. The LED pulses red while charging; a steady red light means the battery is full.
Immediately after a session or when warm, the GTS should not be plugged in, and it should not be placed on a bed, sofa, or clothing while charging. The battery level is displayed when the device is shaken twice during use. The manufacturer does not state a battery life.
Two features conserve battery: if the GTS detects no movement for 45 seconds, it cools down (LED pulses white). If it remains stationary for a further 2.5 minutes, it switches off. After 8 minutes of continuous use it switches off in any case.
Dimensions, weight, and what's in the box
According to the manual, the GTS measures 8.6 × 4.2 × 2.2 cm and weighs approximately 125 g.
The Hub Set includes:
Zeus Arc GTS
Zeus Hub
Zeus Xtruder
15 ArcPods and a glass spacer (according to the TVape review, also visible in the manufacturer's box contents image)
Multi-tool and Flow Sink tool
5 each of Zeus Purify Grime Wipes, Grime Sticks, and Bristle Cleaners
USB charging cable and instruction manual
Zeus provides a 3-year warranty on the device; the battery is covered for 3 months according to the manual. The warranty is only valid when purchased from an authorised retailer.
Water pipe and Iceborn
With the separately available Zeus Arc Iceborn & Waterpipe Adapter, the mouthpiece is replaced and the GTS is connected to a water pipe. According to the manual, the adapter fits glass with 14 and 18 mm joints. The Zeus Iceborn, an ice filter with a tube, cools the vapor further. Neither is included in the set.
How Do I Clean and Maintain My Vaporizer?
For the chamber, the manual specifies the included Grime Sticks: snap the stick to release the alcohol, then wipe out the chamber with the other end. Follow up with the Grime Wipes and allow the chamber to dry completely.
The multi-tool, Flow Sink, screen, mouthpiece, and heat sink may be soaked in Zeus Purify or alcohol for a maximum of 30 minutes, then rinsed with water. The GTS mouthpiece is exempt from this. Liquid must never enter the device, and all alcohol must have evaporated before switching it on again.
GTS Hub, Arc S Hub, and Arc GT3 compared
Within the Arc family, the GTS Hub is the older model. It shares the three standard settings of 205, 215, and 225 °C, the 3,500 mAh battery, and the ArcPod system with the Zeus Arc S Hub and the Zeus Arc GT3. None of the three devices has an app.
Charging: The GTS charges via Micro-USB; the Arc S and GT3 charge via USB-C.
Gold: The GTS and GT3 feature a gold-plated vapor path (Goldsink).
Status: Zeus no longer lists the GTS Hub; the successor set with a hub is the GT3 Hub.
Anyone buying new today gets the same Goldsink concept with USB-C in the GT3. The GTS Hub can now only be found as remaining stock at a handful of shops.
Who the Zeus Arc GTS Hub is still worth it for
The GTS Hub suits anyone who wants a complete set: device, grinder, capsules, storage, and cleaning accessories all in one box. Those who like to prepare in advance and simply swap capsules on the go benefit most from the Hub and the Xtruder.
It is less suitable for anyone who wants free temperature selection, a short heat-up time, or USB-C. Because the set is being discontinued, it is worth checking our price comparison before buying: if the gap to the GT3 is small, there is little reason to choose the older model.
No. The GTS has neither an app nor Bluetooth. The temperature is selected via the button; firmware updates are carried out through the PC program "ZEUS UPDATE" via USB cable.
The Hub is a station for storing the device, Xtruder, and ArcPods. It also serves as a bowl over which the chamber is emptied using the included tool.
Three levels: 205, 215, and 225 °C (standard firmware). Switching is done with a short button press. Other levels can be loaded via the PC program.
TVape measures approximately 80 seconds; the manufacturer does not state a value. Readiness is indicated by the green LED.
Micro-USB, not USB-C. According to the manual, charge using a power adapter with 5 V and 1 A, do not use a fast charger, and do not plug in the device immediately after use.
