High-wattage vaping exposes weak chipsets fast. Power sag, slow ramp, and overheating kill the experience. The Aegis Legend 5 avoids those problems with a proper buck-boost circuit and Geekvape’s AS 4.0 chipset, so the vape feels the same at the end of the day as it does on a fresh charge.
Performance & Power Delivery
The AS 4.0 chipset fires almost instantly and ramps quickly, which makes a real difference with large sub-ohm coils. Power stays consistent in the 80 to 120 watt range, and Smart Mode helps prevent coil damage if you swap tanks or forget to adjust wattage. Experienced users still get full control through Custom and temperature modes.
Build Quality & Durability
This is where the Legend line earns its reputation. The IP68 rating means real resistance to water, dust, and drops. The reinforced chassis, rubberised impact zones, and solid weight make it feel closer to work gear than consumer electronics. It is a mod you can throw in a bag, take to work, or use outdoors without worrying.
Screen, Design & Usability
The 1.08-inch colour display is bright and clear, with a cleaner layout than earlier Legends. Wattage, mode, battery levels, and coil resistance are easy to read at a glance. The physical A-Lock slider is a standout feature, letting you lock the device instantly for pocket carry without button combos. Optional side LEDs add flair but can be turned off completely.
Tank & Vape Quality
The kit usually ships with the Geekvape Z Sub-Ohm tank, which is known for strong flavour, dense vapour, and excellent leak resistance thanks to its top-airflow design. Coil options suit high-VG liquids and high-wattage direct-lung vaping, making the kit ready to go out of the box.
Pros
- Consistent power delivery at high wattages
- Extremely durable IP68 build
- Instant firing and fast ramp
- Physical lock switch for easy pocket carry
- Leak-resistant sub-ohm tank included
Cons
- Large and heavy compared to single-battery mods
- Requires external 18650 batteries
- Overkill for low-wattage or MTL users
Final Verdict
If you want a no-nonsense, high-wattage kit that actually performs like its specs claim, the Geekvape Aegis Legend 5 is one of the strongest dual-battery options available right now. It is not compact or subtle, but for power, durability, and reliability, it is hard to fault.
