Product intro and specs
The Geekvape Aegis Legend 2 (Geekvape L200 kit) is the latest kit from long-time popular manufacturer Geekvape. By now most vapers know who they are as they’ve made some great products over the years. Too many to list here, but they’re a very solid and reliable company overall. The L200 is the latest in a long line of Aegis products that started with the original Legend—one of the first, if not the first IP67 water and shock-resistant vape mod.
Since then, they have had many products in that line, with the most recent being the Aegis Legend and Aegis X mods and the line of Aegis pods. The L200 has a lot of similarities to the original Legend, but it is now IP68 rated for extra durability. It’s a 200-watt rated mod with a dual-18650 battery configuration and comes in a kit with the Z sub ohm tank.
Geekvape L200 Kit Build quality and design
Anyone who has used an Aegis should know what to expect here. They’ve been around for years. The L200 does a great job of being like its predecessors. It’s nicely built and feels solid, not cheap or flimsy—there’s some heft to it for sure. The fire button is a rectangle on the front of the mod with a slight taper on the top like most of the others. Below the screen are the up and down buttons.
There are two main differences here. First, there is a switch on the left side of the mod, which you can slide up and down to completely lock the mod without having to turn it off. That really comes in handy for safety. The other difference is that the charging is now USB-C and located above the screen, underneath the rubber plug. It really blends into the mod. Nobody would know there is a USB port under it just by looking at it, which makes it really look sleek.
Using the Geekvape L200 Kit
As far as the menu goes, It’s the same as the original. Here is a quick rundown of the usage.
- Five clicks of the fire button to turn on and off.
- Three clicks to enter menu mode.
- Use up and down in menu mode to cycle through modes (press fire to accept.)
- After selecting a mode, you can use up and down to adjust within the mode (press fire to accept.)
- Hold fire to exit menu mode.
- Fire and up or fire and down will adjust the screen brightness.
- The switch on the side locks the mod so it can’t fire or be adjusted.
Temperature control performance
Using SS316L wire in SS mode (TCR for SS mode is 105) I tested four builds:
- One simple round single coil
- One simple round dual coil
- One fancy wire single coil build
- One fancy wire dual coil build
The power is fully adjustable in TC mode as well, with the full 200-watt limit. As far as the performance goes, the Aegis line originally wasn’t very good at TC, then they were good on the ones after the Legend. Then if I remember correctly, another one was good but had a weird low wattage limit. So overall it’s been up and down. The Nova was really good for TC too. The performance I got here is similar to the Nova.
Z tank rundown
The tank included in the kit is the Geekvape Z sub ohm tank, the same one included in the Obelisk kit, and it uses the Z coil system. It’s a pretty basic tank and nothing new. It’s slightly over 24 mm in diameter at the base, which, as I mentioned earlier, slightly hangs over the top of the mod which has a 22 mm platform. It features top airflow to minimize the possibility of leaking, with a 5 mL capacity and a quarter-twist top cap to remove it for filling. The coils are plug and play and the drip tip is a standard Delrin 810 tip.
There are four coil options in total:
- Geekvape Z0.4 coil rated 50-60 watts
- Geekvape Z0.2 coil rated 70-80 watts
- Geekvape Z0.25 dual coil rated 45-57 watts
- Geekvape Z0.15 coil rated 80-90 watts
The two included were the Z0.2 and Z0.25. Starting with the Z0.2 coil, I found it best around 70 watts. The flavor started off poor but broke in after a tank to be just ok. It only lasted about 55 mL, which is low by today’s standards. Overall, not a very good coil in my opinion.
