The Zeus Arc S Hub is a portable conduction vaporizer from Zeus Arsenal, the house brand of TVape Canada. The core idea: ArcPod-only loading. Herb goes into a pre-filled capsule, not directly into the chamber. Loading loose herb straight into the chamber would cause material to fall onto the heating element and damage the device. Once the workflow clicks, the payoff is a consistently clean experience session after session.
The kit ships with 15 ArcPods, the Zeus Xtruder grinder (fills pods in one step), an AVB tray, and a travel case. Three temperature presets (205, 215, 225°C), a 3500 mAh battery with USB-C charging, optional Bluetooth app and passthrough charging complete the package. Current prices across 8 shops are in our price comparison.

ArcPods and Xtruder: How the Pod System Works
The Arc S Hub's defining feature is its ArcPod system. Each capsule holds up to 0.3 g of dry herb. You load the pod, drop it into the chamber, and you're ready to go. When the session is done, swap the pod -- no crumbs, no sticky residue on the chamber walls.
Critical note: This vaporizer is designed exclusively for ArcPods. Loading loose herb directly into the chamber will cause material to fall onto the heating element and can permanently damage the device. Always use the pods.
The included Zeus Xtruder grinder is purpose-built for this workflow. It grinds and fills an ArcPod in a single motion, so prepping a session takes about 30 seconds. Load up several pods at home and you can go through multiple sessions on the go without any accessories.
Three Temperature Presets: 205, 215, 225°C
The Arc S Hub offers three fixed temperature presets selected by pressing the power button:
| Preset | Temp | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 205°C | Flavor-forward, terpene-rich vapor |
| 2 | 215°C | Balanced extraction and vapor density |
| 3 | 225°C | Maximum extraction, thickest clouds |
Heat-up takes 80 seconds -- on the slower side compared to convection portables, but that's the trade-off with conduction: the chamber needs to reach a stable temperature to heat material evenly. Once up to temp, the device vibrates (or notifies via app) and stays consistent throughout the session.
For users who want more precise control within this range, the Bluetooth app allows finer temperature adjustment beyond the three hardware presets.
3500 mAh Battery: Runtime, USB-C and Passthrough
The 3500 mAh battery is one of the larger ones you'll find in a portable this size. Expect around two hours of continuous use -- roughly 10 to 14 typical five-minute sessions on a single charge.
Charging is via USB-C and takes about two hours to full. Passthrough charging is supported, meaning you can vape while the device is plugged in -- handy if you're at your desk or if the battery ran lower than expected. Any standard USB-C charger at 5V/2A or higher will work; the kit includes a cable but not a power adapter.
The battery is non-replaceable, which is standard for devices in this category. At 3500 mAh capacity, with normal use you should get several years of reliable service before any noticeable capacity degradation.
Build Quality, Dimensions and What's in the Box
The Arc S Hub's body is made from hard-anodized aluminum -- a surface treatment that creates a much harder, more scratch-resistant finish than standard anodizing. It feels solid in hand, and the matte finish resists fingerprints reasonably well. At 87 × 42 × 22.5 mm, it's almost identical in footprint to the Zeus Arc GT3 and fits easily in a jeans pocket.
The full kit includes:
- 15 ArcPods (reusable, pre-loadable)
- Zeus Xtruder grinder (fills ArcPods directly)
- AVB tray (for already-vaped material)
- Travel case for the whole kit
- USB-C charging cable and cleaning tools
Zeus Arsenal backs the device with a 3-year warranty, which is above average for portables around this price. Replacement parts like ArcPods and mouthpieces are available separately through the Zeus Arsenal store.
Who Is the Arc S Hub For?
The Zeus Arc S Hub suits a specific kind of user. If you don't mind a small learning curve and are willing to commit to the pod workflow, it rewards you with a clean, low-maintenance experience session after session.
It's a good fit if you:
- Want quick, mess-free pod swaps between sessions
- Appreciate dosing precision (0.3 g per pod)
- Like the idea of Bluetooth app control as an optional extra
- Prefer to prep sessions at home and vape on the go without any tools
- Value a complete kit rather than buying accessories separately
If you prefer filling loose herb directly without capsules, the Zeus Arc GT3 (same temp range, no app, no pod requirement) is the more flexible option. The Arc S Hub is for those who like a system -- and stick to it.
Zeus Arsenal and TVape: Brand Background and Availability
Zeus Arsenal is the in-house brand of TVape, a Canadian vaporizer retailer operating since 2012. TVape develops Zeus devices internally and sells them through its own store -- which means spare parts, ArcPods, and accessories stay available directly through the brand over time.
In Europe, Zeus devices are carried by a range of specialist shops. The Arc S Hub is listed in 8 European shops, from the Netherlands to Poland. That makes direct price comparisons worthwhile -- differences between shops can reach 15-25% depending on promotions and currency.
On cleaning: thanks to the ArcPod system, the chamber stays mostly clean. After 10-15 sessions, a quick brush-out with the included brush plus soaking the mouthpiece in isopropyl alcohol for five minutes is enough. Run a pipe cleaner through the vapor path to clear any residue. Significantly less maintenance than a direct-fill vaporizer.
