Geekvape Aegis Mini 5 Vape Kit

Introduction

The Geekvape Aegis Mini 5 Vape Kit is a 100W sub-ohm kit with a 3200mAh built-in battery, the new Z Nano 3 tank and an IP67 shock-, water-, and dust-rated body, priced at £44.99 with a free 10ml e-liquid. It is built for a direct-to-lung (DTL) draw, where vapour goes straight into the lungs, or restricted DTL (RDL) with the airflow closed down. It is not a tight cigarette-style (MTL) device.

Its edge over other Aegis mods: 100W from one internal cell, so there is no 18650 battery to buy. Best for ex-smokers who have outgrown pod kits. Not ideal for anyone who wants a tight MTL pull or a shirt-pocket device.

Key Facts

• The Geekvape Aegis Mini 5 has a 3200mAh built-in battery.
• The Mini 5 mod fires from 5W to 100W in Smart or Power mode.
• The Mini 5 body is IP67 rated against shock, water and dust.
• The kit includes the 2ml Z Nano 3 tank, which uses Geekvape B Series coils.

Versus the Aegis Mini 2, the Mini 5 gains a bigger 3200mAh battery and 3A charging but drops temperature control.

Geekvape Aegis Mini 5 Key Specs

• Battery: 3200mAh built-in. A full day of RDL vaping, no external cells.
• Output: 5 to 100W, Smart and Power modes, 0.96-inch TFT screen. Smart mode caps wattage in the coil's safe range; no temperature control.
• Charging: USB-C, 5V/2A or 5V/3A. About 80 minutes from empty on 3A per UK reviewers. Cable not included.
• Tank: Z Nano 3, 2ml UK TPD. Push-to-open top fill and top airflow, so it rarely leaks.
• Size: 138.2 x 39 x 28.6mm with tank, 510 thread. Pocketable for a mod, taller than any pod kit.

Pick Your Inhale: RDL or DTL

• B0.2 ohm (fitted): DTL at 50 to 58W. Airflow open, biggest clouds, heaviest on liquid.
• B0.4 ohm (spare): RDL at 25 to 35W. Airflow half closed, warm and flavourful, lighter on liquid. Start here.
• B0.6 ohm (sold separately): loose RDL at 15 to 25W. The closest this tank gets to a pod-style draw.

Key Features

• Smart mode: detects the coil and warns if you push past its printed limit.
• Top airflow Z Nano 3: air enters above the coil, so liquid is far less likely to seep out in a pocket.
• Two physical locks: the side A-Lock kills the fire button, the best pocket-carry feature per UK reviewers.

Coils and E-Liquid Pairing

Use a 70VG/30PG shortfill at 3mg or 6mg freebase on both supplied coils. Thin 50/50 liquid floods a mesh coil, and 20mg nic salts are harsh at these wattages. Ex-disposable users usually land on 6mg with the 0.4 ohm coil. Browse 100ml shortfill e-liquids.

Battery, Coil Life and Running Cost

• Coil life: Geekvape rates Boost B Series coils at roughly 40ml, so one to two weeks for most RDL users.
• Weekly cost: about £2 per coil (a five-pack of Geekvape B Series coils is £9.99) plus 50 to 100ml of shortfill: roughly £8 to £12 a week for RDL, against £25 to £35 on daily disposables.

Compatibility and Refills

The Z Nano 3 takes the whole B Series range: 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6 and 1.2 ohm. The Z Nano 2 glass does not fit: the Z Nano 3 is 28mm wide and taller, so use the spare in the box. This is a different mod and tank from the Aegis Mini 2 (M100).

Best Colours

Black is the most stocked colour across UK retailers and suits ex-smokers who want a plain daily-carry mod. Sunset Rose and Polar Silver suit vapers who want a rugged mod that does not look like one; Rainbow suits collectors; and Aqua Blue and Forest Green hide scuffs outdoors.

How to Set Up

1. Unscrew the tank base and press the fitted 0.2 ohm coil in firmly.
2. Prime the coil: drip e-liquid onto every cotton port, refit the base.
3. Press the top cap open, fill to just below the glass rim, snap shut.
4. Wait 10 minutes upright. Skipping this is the top cause of a day-one burnt coil.
5. Fit the tank, click the fire button five times, and vape at the low end of the coil's range.

How to Make It Last Longer

• Stay inside the printed wattage: the 0.4 ohm coil at 45W dies in days.
• Pause between puffs so the cotton re-soaks; never fire below a quarter tank.
• Change the coil when flavour dulls, around every 40ml.

Price Comparison

As of September 2026 the kit lists at £42.95 at Vape Superstore, £46.99 at Ecigone and £47.99 at Vape Club (coming soon). At £44.99 with a free 10ml e-liquid, VOS is at the cheaper end for in-stock units. The Aegis Solo 2 S100 kit is £43.49 but needs an 18650 battery (£8 to £10 extra) and the Aegis Legend 2 kit is £49.99 plus two cells.

Community Insights

Reviewers on Planet of the Vapes praise the battery for holding full power until nearly empty. UK YouTube reviews repeat two gripes: a whistle with the airflow fully open (close it a notch) and liquid under the fill cap (wipe before closing).

FAQ

Is it waterproof?

It is IP67 rated: dust-tight and safe from rain or a brief drop into shallow water, but not built for swimming. The tank is not sealed.

Can I vape MTL on it?

Not properly. The Z Nano 3 top airflow is tuned for RDL and DTL. For a cigarette-style pull, choose a rechargeable pod vape instead.

Which coils fit the Z Nano 3?

All Geekvape B Series coils: 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6 and 1.2 ohm, including those from the Z Nano 2, Aegis Boost and Hero. The 1.2 ohm coil fits, but the draw stays looser than a true MTL tank.

How long does the battery last?

About a full day at 25 to 35W on the 0.4 ohm coil, per UK reviewer testing; at 50W plus, plan an evening top-up. A full charge takes roughly 80 minutes on 3A.

Does it come with a USB-C cable?

No. Geekvape lists no cable in the box. Any USB-C cable on a 2A or 3A charger works.

Why does a new coil taste burnt?

It was fired before the cotton soaked. Prime the ports, fill, wait 10 minutes, then start at the low end of the printed wattage. A burnt coil cannot be saved; fit the spare.

Aegis Mini 5 vs Aegis Mini 2: what changed?

Battery rises from 2500mAh to 3200mAh, charging from 2A to 3A, and the tank moves from Z Nano 2 to Z Nano 3. Temperature control is gone, and the rating drops from IP68 to IP67.
