What Makes the Aegis Hero Stand Out?

The Aegis Hero distinguishes itself through a combination of features rarely found in pod systems:

• Aegis Toughness: Inheriting the ruggedness of the Aegis series, the Hero is shock-resistant, dust-proof (IP67 rating), and water-resistant, making it an ideal companion for an active lifestyle.
• Sub-Ohm Capabilities: Unlike many pod systems limited to mouth-to-lung vaping, the Aegis Hero supports sub-ohm coils, allowing for direct-to-lung vaping and impressive cloud production.
• Versatile Vaping Modes: The device offers both variable wattage and bypass modes, catering to a wide range of vaping preferences.
• User-Friendly Design: With its intuitive button layout, clear display, and convenient top-fill system, the Aegis Hero is incredibly easy to use, even for beginners.

A Closer Look at the Aegis Hero Kit

Mastering Your Aegis Hero: A Comprehensive Guide

1. Powering Up: Before your first vape, ensure the Aegis Hero is fully charged. Connect the device to your computer’s USB port using the included cable. The screen will display the charging progress and battery level.
2. E-Liquid Refills Made Easy: The Aegis Hero features a convenient top-fill system, minimizing the risk of leaks and messy refills.
   • Gently lift the silicone plug located on the top of the pod.
   • Carefully fill the pod with your preferred e-liquid, leaving a small amount of space to prevent overfilling.
   • Securely replace the silicone plug.
   • Allow the pod to sit for a few minutes after refilling, ensuring the coil is fully saturated with e-liquid.
3. Coil Replacement:
   • When the flavor of your e-liquid starts to diminish or you experience a burnt taste, it’s time to replace the coil.
   • Remove the pod from the Aegis Hero device.
   • Turn the pod upside down.
   • Gently pull out the old coil.
   • Firmly push the new coil into place.
   • Re-insert the pod into the device.

Exploring Vaping Modes: Wattage vs. Bypass

The Aegis Hero caters to different vaping styles with its two modes:

• Variable Wattage Mode: Provides precise control over the power output, ranging from 5 to 45 watts. Adjust the wattage using the buttons below the screen to fine-tune your vaping experience according to your preferences and the coil being used.
• Bypass Mode: This mode delivers the battery’s full voltage directly to the coil, simulating the experience of a mechanical mod. It’s generally recommended for experienced vapers who understand battery safety and coil resistance.

To switch between modes:

• Quickly press the fire button three times.
• Use the adjustment buttons to navigate and select your desired mode.
• Press and hold the fire button to confirm your selection.

Troubleshooting: Overcoming Common Aegis Hero Issues

• Charging Problems:
  • If your Aegis Hero isn’t charging, start by checking the USB cable for any damage. Try using a different cable or connecting to a different USB port.
  • Ensure the charging port on the device is clean and free of debris. Use a toothpick or a soft brush to gently remove any obstructions.
• Aegis Hero Not Firing:
  • Make sure the device is unlocked by pressing the fire button five times in quick succession.
  • Check the screen for error messages:
    • “Battery Low”: Recharge the device.
    • “No Atomizer”: Ensure the coil is correctly installed and the pod is securely in place.
    • “Ohm Too Low/Atomizer Short”: The coil may be faulty. Replace it with a new one.
• Weak Vapor Production:
  • Experiment with the airflow control ring located below the mouthpiece. Closing it slightly can increase vapor warmth and intensity.
  • Try different coils. The 0.4-ohm coil typically produces larger clouds, while the 0.6-ohm coil provides a tighter draw.
  • Consider increasing the nicotine strength of your e-liquid if you find the current level insufficient.
  • Gradually increase the wattage setting for warmer vapor and a more pronounced flavor.
• Gurgling or Popping Sounds:
  • Avoid inhaling too forcefully. A gentle and steady draw is usually sufficient.
  • Ensure the e-liquid level in the pod is adequate. If it’s too low, the coil might not wick properly, leading to gurgling.

Maximizing Your Aegis Hero Experience: Tips and Tricks

• Coil Priming: Before using a new coil, prime it by applying a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the exposed cotton wicking ports. This helps prevent dry hits and ensures optimal flavor from the first puff.
• Airflow Customization: Fine-tune your vaping experience by adjusting the airflow control ring. Find the setting that delivers your preferred balance of vapor production and draw tightness.
• E-liquid Selection: The Aegis Hero is compatible with a wide variety of e-liquids. For larger clouds, consider high-VG (vegetable glycerin) e-liquids. If you prefer a stronger throat hit, opt for e-liquids with a higher PG (propylene glycol) content.
• Battery Longevity: To maximize the lifespan of your Aegis Hero’s battery, avoid fully depleting it before recharging. Regularly charging the device when the battery level is low can help maintain its performance over time.
• Device Maintenance: Keep your Aegis Hero in top condition by cleaning it periodically with a damp cloth. This helps remove any dust, e-liquid residue, or debris that may affect its performance.

Beyond the Basics: Advanced Aegis Hero Tips

• Chain Vaping: While the Aegis Hero is designed to handle moderate chain vaping, it’s best to avoid excessive consecutive puffs. Allow the coil to cool down slightly between puffs to prevent overheating and premature coil failure.
• Battery Safety: Always use the provided charging cable and avoid using chargers with excessively high amperage. Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
• Firmware Updates: Geekvape occasionally releases firmware updates for the Aegis Hero, which may include performance enhancements, bug fixes, or new features. Check the Geekvape website periodically for updates and follow the instructions to install them.
