Here today we have the mod only version of the new Legend 5 in the gorgeous Glacier Green, graciously provided to me by Sourcemore for the purpose of this review. It's (unsurprisingly) got a lot more positive points than negative ones. I say unsurprisingly because after the Legend 3, I have had my faith in Geekvapes QC restored and this Legend 5 in my opinion, cements that view.

***Review***

I got this mod last week and am running it with the Z SE Tank (push button to open tank) in gold with an emerald green drip tip that matches the mod perfectly. Even though the name of the color is Glacier Green, it's more of an emerald green but could also pass for British Racing Green. It's pretty friggin solid in terms of build quality. It also doesn't get hot from the weather outside (my other vapes do). I know this because I tested that yesterday. My backpack that I in rought it in got super hot while at Six Flags, but my vape still felt room temp. Heck even the juice bottle was hot (obviously discarded juice because it was no longer safe to use) while the mod, as I said stayed room temp. Which are both awesome things. The charge port is much easier to access with the tank attached to the mod. That was a gripe I voiced over on discord (Geekvape has their own discord server) and was obviously fixed on the new Legend 5. It also vibrates when turning on or locking the fire button with the slider switch. Another welcome change, as the other lock options on the Legend 3 were a bit finicky at times. It does feel a little more slick and might possibly be an issue point that when sweaty hands go to reach for it, it may slip out of your grasp and fall. Didn't experience that yet but it's possible as it has more of a clean racing feel to it. The spine where it says LEGEND 5 on it, is actually sewn on both sides which is a cool touch as well. Another feature carried over to the L5 from my personal L3 (may have been an early edition of L3) is the fact the top plate screws into an aluminum skeleton inside the mod. That said I do have a slight gripe with it. That is that they took away Boosting mode and replaced it with "CUSTOM" Mode. It functions sort of the same in terms of cloud production, but still would prefer to have Boosting mode added ***with*** Custom Mode. Another thing I wish they'd added, was the ability to change the screen animation when you vape on it. I mean I'm a huge fan Star Wars and the Hyperspace Lanes look when you vape on it, but not everyone will know that is where the screen animation came from though. Those 2 things are my only issues with the mod. 1 is personal preference, the other is not a personal preference as I actually enjoy it. Though others may not enjoy said animation. My score is an 8/10.

***Verdict***

If you're trying to find the ***best*** mod on the market right now that's solid, built to last, and can stand high temps and other abuse. Look no further than the Legend 5. Yes I may be partial to Geekvape, but they've been pretty solid as of late with my experience. Definitely give it a whirl and see for yourselves!
