Jessica Tyson
24/09/2025 • 5 min readIf you’re after a vape mod that can take a hit, deliver serious power, and look great doing it — the Geekvape Aegis line is where the action is. The Geekvape Aegis X and Geekvape Aegis Legend series are two of the most talked-about tough mods on the market, and for good reason. But which one truly comes out on top?
Discover the innovative features and immersive experience offered by the Geekvape Aegis X and Geekvape Aegis Legend as we explore what sets these Geekvape mods apart.
Meet the Aegis Family – Key Features That Set Them Apart
When it comes to rugged, high-performance vaping, the Geekvape Aegis family of sub-ohm vapes is in a class of its own. These dual battery mods are built for vapers who demand more from their device — more power output, more battery life, and more durability. Whether you’re eyeing the Aegis X or the Aegis Legend, you’re getting a mod that’s engineered to handle whatever you can throw at it.
What really sets the Aegis series apart is its advanced technology and thoughtful design. Both the Aegis X and Aegis Legend deliver serious wattage — up to 220W for the Aegis X and 200W for the Legend — so you can expect dense clouds and bold flavour with every hit. Thanks to their robust build quality and IP67-rated water and dust resistance, these mods shrug off drops, spills, and the daily grind without missing a beat. They’re also designed to be used with high-VG e-liquids.
Navigating settings and modes is effortless, especially on the Aegis X with its massive 2.4-inch OLED screen. The user interface is intuitive, making it easy to switch between power mode, temperature control, bypass mode, and more. The signature orange accent and sleek silver options add a touch of style, while the compact design means these mods feel great in your hand or pocket.
Battery life is another strong point — these dual battery mods are powered for long sessions, so you can vape all day without constantly searching for a charger. The advanced AS chipset inside each device ensures efficient power management and accurate output, while firmware updates keep your mod running at peak performance. And if you ever need a hand, the included user manual walks you through every feature and setting, so you’re always in control.
The Aegis X is also compatible with the Cerberus tank, a favourite for its flavour and vapour production, making it a top pick for anyone who wants a complete, high-quality kit. Compared to other mods on the market, the Aegis series stands out for its unbeatable combination of durability, advanced features, and competitive price point.
Aegis X – Big Screen, Big Personality
The Aegis X is a visual powerhouse. Its 2.4″ OLED display is huge, vibrant, and ultra-easy to use. The mod features an advanced OLED screen, a durable rubber coating, and easy battery access, making it stand out among box mods.
Adjusting wattage or switching modes? It’s all smooth and seamless thanks to the upgraded AS 2.0 chipset. Navigating the menu system is intuitive and user-friendly, so you can quickly access all settings. The fire button is responsive and easy to use, letting you fire the device instantly, and its box construction is rugged and solid. The device feels great in the hand, offering a comfortable and secure grip, and the boost circuit delivers impressive and reliable power output. The Aegis X has been tested for both durability and performance, ensuring it stands up to real-world use.
Built with GeekVape’s signature IP67-rated shell, the Aegis X offers excellent water resistance, protecting it from water, dust, and accidental drops. It uses high-quality batteries for strong performance and long life. It pairs nicely with the Cerberus tank, known for its flavour and cloud performance using Z Series coils. A good thing about the default SS mode is that you don’t need to adjust TCR values for common stainless steel wires. Any previous issues with temperature control have been fixed in this version, so you can vape with confidence.
Aegis Legend 3 – Smarter, Sleeker, Stronger
Now, here’s where things level up. The Geekvape Aegis Legend 3 box mod, the latest version in the series, builds on everything vapers loved about the original Geekvape Aegis Legend — and adds some serious next-gen upgrades.
Instead of a big screen, it opts for a crisp 0.96″ TFT display — smaller, but energy-efficient and clear. But where the Legend 3 really shines is in its Smart Lock technology, which offers enhanced security by preventing unauthorised use and protecting your personalised settings. Pick it up, and it auto-unlocks. Put it down, and it locks itself. Plus, you can switch between touch lock, button lock, or full manual — your choice.
Powered by the advanced AS Chip 4.0, the device is faster, more responsive, and loaded with modes: Smart, Boost, Eco, Temperature Control, and a handy Memory mode that stores up to five profiles. The menu system is similar to other Geekvape mods, making it easy to navigate through settings and customise your experience. Whether you’re into flavour precision or just want a consistent hit every time, the Legend 3 has your back.
The device uses high-quality batteries for reliable power output, and the fire button is intuitively placed for easy access — just press to fire and enjoy your vape. The box mod construction is rugged, and the device has been tested for both durability and performance.
And yes — it’s IP68-rated for superior water resistance, making it even more durable than its predecessor. Outdoor vaper? This one’s for you.
Firmware updates are simple, and you can always check your current firmware version to ensure you have the latest features and improvements.
Design & Comfort
Both mods bring the same rugged feel, but the Legend 3 is slightly more compact and ergonomic. This box mod feels great in the hand, with an awesome design that stands out. The fit and finish are fine, and there is no button rattle, which speaks to its excellent build quality. Comfort and ergonomics have been tested, ensuring it feels premium whether you’re on the go or on the sofa.
The Final Verdict – Go with the Legend
While the Aegis X impresses with its massive screen and solid performance, the Aegis Legend 3 edges ahead with its smart locking system, updated chip, extended durability, and compact design. It’s built for the future — and for vapers who want a reliable device that adapts to their needs — rugged, refined, and ready to go.
