Building upon the success of its predecessors, the Legend 3 introduces advanced features and enhancements that cater to both seasoned vapers and newcomers seeking a robust and reliable device.
The good thing about the Aegis line is you always know what to expect. As someone who has used and reviewed pretty much every device in this line, the Aegis Legend 3 is exactly what I expected. It’s a powerhouse of a device. It’s made to be used and abused, and it keeps working while also looking classy. It’s a case of "if it’s not broken, don’t fix it." It feels great in the hand, and the new Smart Lock feature was a pleasant surprise (more on that later.) It’s a device that really nails what mods should be nowadays, and it makes me happy they didn’t try to reinvent the wheel and ruin it.
One of the standout features of the Aegis Legend 3 is its IP68-rated construction, offering superior protection against water, dust, and shocks. This makes it an ideal choice for vapers who lead active lifestyles or work in demanding environments. The device's rugged design ensures it can withstand accidental drops, exposure to the elements, and other challenges that would compromise lesser devices.
At the heart of the Aegis Legend 3 lies the advanced AS Chip 4.0, delivering rapid response times and a suite of intelligent features. The chipset supports multiple vaping modes, including Power, TCR, ECO, SMART, BOOSTING, and MEMORY, allowing users to customize their vaping experience to their preferences.
A notable innovation is the Smart Lock technology, which utilizes palm recognition to automatically unlock the device when held. This feature enhances security and convenience, ensuring the device is ready for use when needed while preventing unintended activation. Users can choose from three lock settings: Touch Lock, Button Lock, and Unlock Mode, catering to various usage scenarios.
The Aegis Legend 3 kit includes the Geekvape Z Fli Tank, designed for exceptional flavor and vapor production. The tank features a 2ml e-liquid capacity (TPD-compliant) and a leakproof top-fill system with a flip-top cap for easy refilling. Its top airflow design minimizes leakage and enhances flavor delivery.
Compatible with Geekvape Z Series coils, the Z Fli Tank ensures dense clouds and rich flavor profiles. The kit comes with two coils: a pre-installed 0.15Ω coil (70–85W) and a spare 0.4Ω coil (50–60W), catering to different vaping preferences.
Despite its rugged build, the Aegis Legend 3 boasts an ergonomic design with a comfortable grip, thanks to its refined leather backing. The device features a 0.96-inch TFT color screen that displays essential information clearly, including wattage, battery life, resistance, and mode settings. Navigation is intuitive, with a single firing button and dual adjustment buttons.

The device includes a USB-C charging port with a 5V/3A fast charge rate, ensuring quick and efficient charging when needed. However, for optimal battery longevity, using an external charger is recommended.
Geekvape has incorporated multiple safety features into the Aegis Legend 3 to ensure a secure vaping experience:
These modes are especially beneficial for users who experiment with different e-liquids, coil types, and inhalation styles. MEMORY Mode is perfect for storing preferred settings when switching between different tanks or flavours.
Performance with Different E-Liquids The Geekvape Z Fli Tank paired with Z mesh coils excels with 70/30 VG/PG blends, delivering rich flavour and dense vapour. The large wicking ports ensure fast saturation, making dry hits rare even at high wattages. Thicker e-liquids work seamlessly thanks to the high power output and coil design.
Although not optimised for 50/50 blends or nic salts, users who enjoy sub-ohm vaping will find the Z Fli Tank excels in producing satisfying clouds without sacrificing flavour clarity.
Long-term users appreciate the device’s ability to withstand rough handling and extreme environments. Many report consistent performance even after months of daily use. Palm Unlock is a favourite feature among users with mobility issues or those who prefer quick access without fumbling with buttons.
Its size and weight make it less ideal for those seeking stealthy or ultra-portable devices, but for power vapers and outdoor enthusiasts, it’s a perfect fit.
Compared to other rugged vape kits like the Vaporesso Armour Max and Smok Arcfox:
While other devices offer comparable wattage or tank capacity, the Aegis Legend 3’s holistic build quality and innovative features place it at the top of its class.
