Aegis Hero 5 Highlights
Built-In 2000mAh Battery
There’s no battery to buy, and it charges over USB-C at 5V/2A.
5W to 50W
The Hero 5 runs from 5W to 50W across B coils from 0.2Ω to 1.2Ω.
Shockproof and A-Lock
Geekvape calls the Aegis Hero 5 shockproof and leak-resistant, and an A-Lock switch stops accidental firing.
6.5ml Cartridge on B Coils
The Aegis Hero cartridge fills from the top and has adjustable top airflow. A B0.4Ω Boost Version coil comes installed, rated 25W to 35W, and a B0.2Ω Boost Version coil rated 50W to 58W is in the box.

B Coils and Wattage
The Hero 5 cartridge takes Geekvape B coils from 0.2Ω to 1.2Ω. The wattages are Geekvape’s ratings.
| B coil | Geekvape rating |
|---|---|
| B0.2Ω coil, Boost Version | DTL, 50–58W |
| B0.3Ω coil, Boost Version | DTL, 30–38W |
| B0.4Ω coil, Boost Version | RDL, 25–35W |
| B0.6Ω coil, Boost Version | RDL, 15–25W |
| Classic B0.2Ω, B0.3Ω, B0.4Ω and B0.6Ω coils | Same wattages as the Boost Version |
| Classic B1.2Ω coil | 10–14W |
The B0.4Ω Boost Version coil comes installed and a B0.2Ω Boost Version coil is in the box. The Hero 5 tops out at 50W, the low end of the B0.2Ω range. We carry Geekvape B coils in packs of 5, and the 6.5ml Aegis Hero cartridge on its own.
How to Set Up the Aegis Hero 5
- Charge it: plug the Hero 5 into a USB-C charger.
- Fill and prime: fill the cartridge from the top, then wait about 5 minutes, as Geekvape suggests, so the coil soaks.
- Set the power: start at 25W for the installed B0.4Ω coil and work up. The B0.2Ω coil runs at the top setting, 50W.
- Lock it: switch on the A-Lock before the Hero 5 goes in a pocket or bag.
Who the Aegis Hero 5 Is For
The Geekvape Aegis Hero 5 suits vapers who want a small, tough pod mod with no batteries to buy, for MTL or an RDL draw. For up to 80W and a bigger battery, see the Aegis Force. For a 100W box mod kit, see the Aegis Mini 5.
Good to know: the battery is built in, and the cartridge takes any Geekvape B coil, Boost Version included.
