Tips on using the Aegis Pod System

[dreamvaper]

I've been testing my Aegis pod for about 3 weeks now and I'm definitely a happy user so far.
One of the best Pods I've tried in my vaping history.
There are few good reviews posted on ECF for the Aegis Pod already so I won't be repeating the same information about it.

Instead I'll share some tips which I discovered testing it that might be helpful for the users. If you have noticed some more I didn't mention, post them in this thread.

The Tips:
1. To remove a cartridge the simplest way, hold the device in your hand and push with your thumb on the side of it and a bit up.
2. To click it back properly - push the sides to the middle and a bit down with your thumb/pointing fingers.
3. To avoid 5 little puffs when you turn it off, remove the cart first
4. Make sure you have enough juice in the cart at all times and that the coil/cotton is saturated, else you might get a slightly burnt taste even when you still have juice in it.
5. Make sure you did properly close the rubber plug after refilling the cart. I've had a leakage problem with it once.
6. If you are testing the shock resistance of the pod (I did and it survived some bad hits), remove the cart first, it's plastic and not as resistant as the pods body.
7. If you are testing the IP67 - water/mist resistance (I did and it's still working and charging), make sure the plug hole is dry when you will plug it for charging after.
8. Try not to chain vape it too much, the coil gets pretty hot and you're likely to get it burn even with enough juice.

Overall, I'd say it's a very well made product, looks and feels very nice and stylish and does the job.
Nice add-on to the GeekVape Aegis Family.

I agree. It is about the best pod device I've used. The coil life has been incredible with intermittent use I've gone over a month on one coil. I have had zero leaking and that is a big plus to me. So many pods I've tried leak sooner or later.

nice, what juice/salt are you using?

I used some 60/40 vg/pg diy lemon meringue pie at 12mg. I have a lot of devices in rotation. I used the pod more at first when I was testing it for review and use it less now simply because I have so many devices going. I still use the pod at least a little bit each day. I have noticed a little bit of a decrease in flavor production but it still works. I was thinking about rinsing out the coil and pod and seeing if it's useable.

I remember the first cig-a-like I ordered from eBay in 2005th or something, a no-name, smelly plastic, awful tobacco juice which smelled worse than some cigarettes, bad vapour production, battery that lasted like 20 puffs
Thank God we have great vape devices today.

I ordered two kits back in 2009. I ordered one from ruyandirect with some mint liquid and got impatient waiting for it to arrive from china so ordered a second from nhaler. Both were 510 cigalikes. It's a good thing I ordered two kits because even with four batteries it was hard to keep one ready to go. Just constantly charging.

I rinsed out the pod and coil a little while ago and blew them out with compressed air. Refilled with a different mix and fired it back up. This original coil is still working pretty darn good. Flavor might not be as good as a new one but it's definitely acceptable.

@dreamvaper , do you know who in the US has coils in stock for it?

did you rinse it with water or PG/VG?

As for the coils in the US, not sure, I think a bit longer but safer way to get them is by ordering from GV store directly.

I just used really hot water. I was at work and didn’t have the other coil with me and wanted to switch flavors.
