Nice write up. I’m loving my Aegis as well. The VPC mode is pretty sweet. I’m still fine tuning mine, but it has taken my vaping experience to a new level.
Has anyone tried it on temperature control?
Great job!! I really loved the fact that you included instructions on the firmware since the website was not clear and tried to address battery life which is hard to express being so relative. I did want one before but u virtually put it in my hands there for a bit where i got the look and feel of it. Thanks!
I know there were some issues regarding Temp Control with the firmware that was released with the final retail version, according to some reviewers, and a firmware upgrade to the latest version seems to have improved it greatly. I have only tried TC with SS on the Aegis, which worked splendidly for me. Although, maybe it’s just me, but comparing the same temp to my Cuboid, my Cuboid seemed just a smidge warmer. I tend to use Power Mode though, so I can’t attest fully to the TC mode with the Aegis.
I didn’t want to say this, obviously because it makes me look like a doofus, but I sat there for an hour trying to figure out ‘ok, are my USB ports working’ because simply plugging it in and pressing the button does nothing, in fact the PC won’t even see it unless the button is fully depressed. It was an angry hour.
It seems to depend on the tank. With my eleaf ello tank, it’s wavy enough to piss me off and I almost sold it. But after I calmed down and put my SMM on their it’s currently working good. With tcr of 105 ss316l. I only have a couple days using it so my opinion might change.
One big negative for me is they have the device weak battery to high something around 3.35ish and the last 30-40 hits are too weak. I guess their trying to be extra safe but it could really last a lot longer and hit harder till much lower.
Sorry if that last sentence sounds crazy, hopefully you get the point. I would recommend it. They could make it better with another firmware update. I do have the latest firmware.
Yeah it seems to vary, I have yet to get weak battery even below 3.4, not that I use it much beyond that anyway.
Nice write up Amber! Very well done
First, it is really well built no complaints there.
I’m trying to say that it could drain batteries down to…maybe 3.1ish and have a very steep power down curve to lockout.
I’d probably get an extra 2-4 hours of vape time.
edit- I’m on firmware version 1.22
Very well done review, thanks for taking the time to share!
Thanks y’all, I’m rubbish at reviews, but I owed it to 3Avape to give it a whirl. I am having a bit of a test run tonight. I have noticed some oddities concerning the firmware, specifically the latest version, 1.23. On a full (brand new 26650 battery) my wattage was decreasing heavily upon upgrading my firmware. I have read of issues with 1.21 & 1.22, but it looked as though many thing were fixed. So I set out to try the other firmware versions, and 1.21 & 1.22 are pretty bad for wattage mode, almost acting as Bypass. So tonight, I rolled back my firmware to 1.20, and to my surprise, my wattage is staying right where it should on a full charge. I’m not getting the decrease in wattage like I was with the versions 1.21-1.23. I think until these issues are fixed, I am staying with the original firmware as it seems to be performing the best for me at this point. I would say that if any of you notice a significant drop in power while your battery is mostly full to roll back your firmware, and see if this alleviates it like it has for me.
Great review, not too much babbling, direct with the info and plenty of useful info. My GF loves her Aegis, and i was afraid she would start getting annoyed by the size of it, due to her coming from the Pico, so a huge size difference, but she loves how it feels in her hand. Considering how many hits the Pico has been taking and almost falling apart, i think the Aegis is the right choice for her.
Biggest cons is the size of the mod considering it is a single mod, but trading that for doability should be worth it. Also the lack of being able to charge through USB if needed, but again that is the price to pay for it to be properly sealed.
Very good write up! Thanks for sharing.
Well written and very informative! Excellent review!!
Great review, very informative and well written. Thanks for your insight
Great review @Silhouette!! You got right to the point and did an awesome job at explaining the details.
Excellent review! Was already interested, not I’m, more accurately, overwhelmed lol:+1:t2:
Thanks everyone, I appreciate the heck out of it.
Sorry, my awful ‘Inbox’ decided it doesn’t like to alert me for ELR. I found one of the photo editor things that I have never bothered using, so I thought it would be fun. I’ve literally already made my Thanksgiving and Christmas silly pictures as well. ‘Squeals’ Holidays!
