How to choose your Geekvape Aegis
The four Aegis kits split into two families: pod kits for a tighter MTL pull, and tank kits for a fuller DTL pull. Within each family the difference comes down to battery size and overall footprint, not the vaping style.
MTL pod kits: Aegis Boost 3 and Aegis Hero 5
Both the Aegis Boost 3 Pod Vape Kit and the Aegis Hero 5 Pod Vape Kit are refillable, MTL / RDL kits with adjustable wattage, so either one gives you a tighter, cigarette-close pull with a coil you can top up rather than replace as a whole unit. The Boost 3 carries a bigger 3000 mAh battery and a 2ml pod, so it goes longer between charges and refills. The Hero 5 runs a smaller 2000 mAh battery, which suits anyone who wants the lightest, most pocketable Aegis on hand.
In day to day use, most people find a pod like this holds its coil well through regular top-ups, and reach for the bigger-battery model once they're vaping through most of the day rather than occasionally.
If you want the longest runtime in an MTL pod kit, take the Boost 3. If you want the smallest, lightest kit to carry, take the Hero 5.
DTL tank kits: Aegis Legend 5 and Aegis Mini 5 75W
The Geekvape Aegis Legend 5 Vape Kit and the Aegis Mini 5 75W Vape Kit are both DTL / RDL, adjustable-wattage kits built around a tank rather than a pod. The Legend 5 runs the full-size Z (Zeus) Tank, giving you the larger, fuller-bodied kit in the range. The Mini 5 pairs a 3000 mAh battery with the smaller Z Tank Nano 3, so you get the same DTL character in a more compact shell.
If you want the biggest tank and the fullest-size DTL kit, take the Legend 5. If you want that same DTL draw with a smaller footprint and a solid 3000 mAh battery, take the Mini 5.
Matching e-liquid to your Aegis
MTL kits like the Boost 3 and Hero 5 tend to suit nic salts for a quick, satisfying hit. DTL tank kits like the Legend 5 and Mini 5 work well with shortfills, which are built for the bigger vapour a tank produces. If you're weighing up the wider market before you commit to Aegis, browse our full pod kits range or head straight to refillable pod kits to see how the Boost 3 and Hero 5 sit against similar kits.
Quick pick: pocket MTL vaping, take the Hero 5. Longer battery life in that same MTL style, take the Boost 3. A fuller DTL tank experience, go for the Legend 5. The same DTL feel in a smaller shell, choose the Mini 5.
