► GeekVape Aegis Legend 5 Kit; Side Profile and A-Lock Button:
From the online shop @Sourcemore, I received the kit in the "Frost Silver" color, which highlights the subtle color contrast between the various parts; such as the shiny silver, the metallic color of the frame and tank, with the leather insert. From the side view, the "family feeling" with the other Aegis mods is evident, with visible Torx screws and a leather insert that extends to the handle. The classic faceplate is enhanced by a steel plate with a laser-engraved texture, rough to the touch, and featuring the "GEEKVAPE" logo on both sides. The Aegis Legend 5 mod, with its slightly heavier weight than the previous version, suggests an even more solid construction. In terms of style; as was the case last year, especially with the Aegis Legend 3 "Carrera Edition," Geekvape has maintained and strongly supported a close connection with the world of motor racing with the new "5" version. The mod is designed to offer a vaping experience reminiscent of the adrenaline rush and excitement of driving a high-end car. The slogan references the famous Nürburgring, a complex of racing circuits for automobiles and motorcycles that winds around Nürburg Castle in Germany. A few words also about the Smart Lock slider on the side of the mod. The slider is essentially a physical lock/unlock button that prevents accidental activation when the mod is stored in a bag or pocket. This slider is easily accessible, so simply sliding it down completely locks the device, preventing accidental activation that could burn the atomizer coil or cause potentially dangerous situations. Furthermore, during use and if you attempt to use the mod while it is locked or protected, a vibration alert will alert you.
► GeekVape Aegis Legend 5 Kit; Ergonomic Grip and Control Panel:
The exceptionally soft and smooth grip greatly enhances comfort, and the handle features a subtle, mirror-polished metallic "LEGEND" logo, giving the mod a professional look. The control panel is perfectly tapered on the sides. The control buttons retain a very similar appearance to previous Aegis models, especially the "Fire" button, with its classic, old-fashioned switch design. The Up/Down buttons are arranged horizontally above a dedicated rocker. The 1.08-inch TFT color display in the center is generously sized and quite bright and easy to read. The animation appears whenever the Fire button is pressed and cannot be disabled. On either side of the screen are two attractive multicolor LED strips, which can be selected in their various colors and also disabled. AS Chip 4.0 features the following settings and functions:
• Power On/Off: Press the Fire button 5 times in quick succession.
• Power Adjustment: With the buttons unlocked, press "+" or "-" to adjust the power between 5 and 200W in 1W increments.
• Press the "+" and "-" buttons together to lock the power adjustment.
• Click the Fire button three times to access the menu.
• Mode: To choose between Smart, Normal, Eco, Custom, and Tc.
• Puffs: Reset puffs
• Light: To adjust or deactivate the side LED lights (Comet, Fusion, Luna, Nebula, Nova, OFF, EXIT)
• Screen: To adjust the screen brightness
• Battery: Displays the "Intelligent Battery Management" label. No adjustments.
A few words of clarification on intelligent power management with Eco, Normal, and Smart modes selected; this is a feature that I find particularly useful for preventing premature burning of the stock Zeus coils. Basically, by adjusting the power up or down, you automatically switch to the most suitable mode within the power range required by the coil installed. In practice, using the Zeus with Eco, Normal, and Smart modes, you can lower or increase the power, but only within the parameters pre-set by the mode for each coil. By continuing to adjust the power, the switch to the next mode occurs automatically, as described in the instruction manual. I know what you're thinking, but don't worry, you can also use the CUSTOM MODE for freely adjustable power for the ZEUS and any other atomizer you install.
• Smart Mode:
When the resistance value with the Zeus is between 0.10 and 0-22Ω, the recommended power is 78W; the power is adjustable between 78 and 80W.
When the resistance value with the Zeus is between 0.23 and 0-50Ω, the recommended power is 55W; the power is adjustable between 55 and 60W.
• Normal Mode:
When the resistance value with the Zeus is between 0.10 and 0-22Ω, the recommended power is 74W; the power is adjustable between 74 and 77W.
When the resistance value with the Zeus is between 0.23 and 0-50Ω, the recommended power is 52W; the power is adjustable between 52 and 54W.
• Eco Mode:
When the resistance value with the Zeus is between 0.10 and 0-22Ω, the recommended power is 55W. 70W, power is adjustable between 70 and 73W
When the resistance value with the Zeus is between 0.23 and 0-50Ω, the recommended power is 48W, power is adjustable between 48 and 51W.
• Custom Mode:
With this setting, you can adjust the power according to your preferences. Custom mode is suitable for those using RDA/RBA/RTA/RDTA atomizers and even the ZEUS TANK itself. In this case (Custom Mode), to avoid premature burning of the cotton, it is important to pay attention to the recommended range for the coils.
► GeekVape Aegis Legend 5 Kit; 510 Thread:
The steel cup is finely decorated with a texture called "Aerflow Texture" and accommodates atomizers up to 25mm in diameter without protrusion. However, given the mod's shape, much larger atomizers can also be installed while maintaining a pleasing aesthetic. The 510 thread has a smooth thread and the contact pin is gold-plated and spring-loaded. The top edge is covered in soft silicone rubber, whose appendage (IP68) hides the USB-C charging port, which can also be used for firmware updates. The cover is easy to lift and replace while maintaining its important water resistance properties. The mod features a pass-through port, so you can vape while charging. However, I do not recommend vaping while charging, nor using the built-in USB charging function for cells. I personally believe it is best to use a suitable external charger to avoid risks and unnecessary strain on the circuitry.
► GeekVape Zeus Sub-Ohm Tank 2021 Vape Review:
This tank has remained virtually unchanged from the 2021 redesign. The top cap features an internal O-ring to hold the drip tip.
The top cap closes/opens quickly with a half-turn, thanks to the usual solid interlocking system. Opening is precise and efficient. Refilling is easy; the slots are generously sized, making refilling quick and clean. On the bottom of the tank, the 510 pin is gold-plated and protrudes quite a bit. The serial number, "Designed by GeekVape," the CE markings, the disposal code, and the product name are also printed on the bottom. After unscrewing the base, the coils are inserted from the bottom with a simple press, taking care to insert the fins on the coil into the appropriate recesses on the tank body.
The adjustable top airflow minimizes the possibility of leaks. Air from the top passes through internal channels that effectively hit the coil, greatly enhancing flavor. With the two Z-XM coils included in the kit, Geekvape aimed to improve what was perhaps the only flaw of the Z1 Coils: their short lifespan. I must say that both Z-XM coils proved to be better in both lifespan and flavor. I've used several ml of e-liquid with both, and they still work great. The 0.4Ω Z-XM coil ensures a smooth vape, never too hot, and with abundant vapor and flavor. Its optimal performance is achieved at 60W in Smart or Custom mode, with the airflow open at 50-60%. The 0.15Ω Z-XM coil is my favorite. It performs best at 78W/80W, produces a lot of vapor, and delivers rich flavor. However, it's advisable to fully open the AFC to avoid burning your lips when vaping slowly, distractedly, and with little draw force.
Below, we can see all the parts that make up the 2021 Zeus Sub-Ohm Tank: the central tube, the top cap, the drip tip, the deck, the coil, the airflow adjustment ring, the coil extraction tool, and the 5.5ml bubble glass. Everything is well-designed with precise connections, generously sized O-rings, and well-made threads.
► GeekVape Aegis Legend 5 Kit; Final Conclusions:
The GeekVape Aegis Legend 5 confirms its position at the top of the popular Aegis line, boasting a proven and effective IP68 Tri-proof rating. The AS Chip 4.0 with buck-boost features vibration feedback protection and ensures stable output with a lightning-fast firing speed of approximately 0.01 seconds. The dual 18650 cells allow for a theoretical maximum output of 200W. The generous 1.08" TFT color display with dynamic illumination (which cannot be deactivated) provides clear and detailed information in large, easily visible fonts. The multicolored side LED lights can be changed or deactivated, and the A-Lock safety switch is a tried-and-true throwback to the past. The button prevents accidental ignition when the mod is stored in your pocket. The new intelligent mode management is interesting and useful, with the addition of the "CUSTOM" variant for true cloud chasers. The racing design with imaginative references to the Nürburgring circuits is also enriched by a refined "Aeroflow" texture laser-engraved on the metal. The GeekVape Aegis Legend 5 dual battery IP68 kit cannot be tiny or even too light (it is not an MTL pod). I'm sure true cloud chasers will find it pleasant to handle and also quite ergonomic as well as robust for outdoor sports.
