Geekvape Aegis Legend 5 Kit: 200W Dual 18650 IP68 Box Mod
The Geekvape Aegis Legend 5 is GeekVape’s current flagship Legend: a 200W box mod running two 18650 batteries, with the AS Chip 4.0 and 0.01-second firing, a 1.08-inch colour screen with adjustable light strips, five working modes, an A-Lock switch and full IP68 tri-proofing against water, dust and knocks. The UK kit pairs it with a 2ml Geekvape Z sub-ohm tank and two Z XM mesh coils.
It’s a direct-to-lung kit for shortfills and cloud vaping. Batteries aren’t included, so budget for two flat-top 18650s. Below: the spec sheet, what each mode does, which tanks and coils fit, batteries and charging, fixes for common problems and how it compares with the Legend 3. Our Aegis Legend 5 review has the full test.

Which Tanks and Coils Fit the Aegis Legend 5?
The Legend 5 has a standard 510 connection, so most sub-ohm tanks screw on, but Geekvape’s own Z tanks are the natural match.
The coils for the tank in the box are Geekvape Z XM coils: Z0.15 XM (70–85W), Z0.2 XM (70–80W) and Z0.4 XM (50–60W). GeekVape says any tank that takes Z coils takes these Boost versions, which last about twice as long as the previous generation, and the original Geekvape Z coils fit too.
Want a spare or different tank? GeekVape also sells the Legend 5 with the Geekvape Z Sub-Ohm Tank 5, which has a push-open cap and top-fill chimney. The Geekvape Z Sub-Ohm SE tank adds a child-safety lock, and the Geekvape Z Fli tank has a flip-top cap. All three take Z XM coils.
Will not fit: Geekvape B Series coils – those belong to the Aegis Hero cartridge and the Z Nano tanks, not the Z sub-ohm tanks.
Getting Started with the Aegis Legend 5
- Fit two matched, fully charged 18650s with flat tops – GeekVape warns that button-top cells can stop the battery door closing.
- Fill the tank through the top, leave a small air gap, and let a new coil soak for 3–5 minutes.
- Switch on and pick a mode. Smart sets the power from the coil; Normal balances flavour and battery; Eco saves charge; Custom gives you full manual control; TC holds a set temperature.
- Start near the bottom of the coil’s range and raise it a few watts at a time.
- Slide the A-Lock on before the mod goes in a pocket or tool bag.
Aegis Legend 5 Batteries and Charging
The Legend 5 runs on two removable 18650 cells. It will charge them in the mod over Type-C, but the better habit is an external charger such as the Nitecore i2 charger, with a second pair charging while you vape. Use two high-drain cells bought and used together – the Molicel P28A 18650 battery is a good choice – and never mix old with new. How far a pair goes depends on your wattage: Eco trims power to suit the coil, while running a Z0.15 XM coil near 80W all day will have you swapping cells well before bedtime.
Aegis Legend 5 Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause and fix |
|---|---|
| Battery door won’t close | Button-top batteries. GeekVape specifies flat-ended 18650s. |
| Fire button dead | The A-Lock is on – slide it off. |
| No coil reading | Re-seat the tank, check the coil is screwed in fully and try a fresh coil. |
| Burnt hits | A new coil that wasn’t primed, or too many watts. Drop to the bottom of its range. |
| Battery runs down fast | Switch to Eco, lower the wattage or move to the Z0.4 XM coil. |
Aegis Legend 5 vs Aegis Legend 3
| Legend 5 | Legend 3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Output | 5–200W | 5–200W |
| Batteries | Two 18650s | Two 18650s |
| Screen | 1.08-inch TFT | 0.96-inch TFT |
| Lock | A-Lock switch | Smart Lock palm sensor |
| Modes | Smart, Normal, Eco, Custom, TC | Power, TCR, Eco, Smart, Boosting, Memory |
| UK tank | 2ml Z sub-ohm | 2ml Z Fli |
| Size | 56 x 146mm | 55.36 x 140.5mm |
Both are IP68 and take the same Z coils. Want a palm-sensing lock and Memory mode? See the Geekvape Aegis Legend 3 kit.
Light Strips and Screen
The Legend 5 adds adjustable light effects around the 1.08-inch screen, plus a brightness setting, so you can have it glow or keep it dark. The screen shows mode, wattage, coil resistance and a puff count at a glance, and the menu lets you switch mode, light, puffs and screen settings without guesswork.
Aegis Legend 5 Colours
GeekVape makes the Legend 5 in Carbon Black, Aurora Rainbow, Twilight Blue, Earth Brown, Frost Silver and Glacier Green, plus the Racing Edition Turbo Red and Racing Gold. We stock Aurora Rainbow, Carbon Black, Earth Brown, Frost Silver, Glacier Green, Racing Gold and Turbo Red; the colour options above show live stock.
What’s in the Box
The Aegis Legend 5 mod (no batteries), a 2ml Geekvape Z sub-ohm tank, two Z XM coils including a Z0.4 XM spare, a spare glass tube, a spare parts pack, a coil tool, a Type-C cable, and a user manual with warning cards.
Best E-Liquids for the Aegis Legend 5
This is a sub-ohm, direct-to-lung kit, so it wants low-nicotine, high-VG liquid: shortfill e-liquids at 3mg or 6mg once you’ve added a nicotine shot. Keep nic salts for a pod – at 70W and above, even 10mg salts are far too strong. Our guide to nic salts vs freebase explains why.
