Oooh I am happy – I have on my desk the stunning Geek Vape Aegis Mini Kit!
I have been so close to actually buying this as this looks like the perfect kit for me!
The kit comprises of the Aegis Mini mod and the Cerberus Sub Ohm tank.
The Geek Vape Aegis Mini Kit
The mod as you can see is a miniature version of the original Geek Vape Aegis and the dual battery Aegis Legend. However this version is weeny and has a 2200mAh internal battery.

Geek Vape Aegis Family – Left to Right: Aegis Legend, Aegis Mini and Original Aegis
You still get a nice screen and the output is adjustable up to 80W. The chipset is the AS Chipset as used in the bigger Aegis versions and guess what – it is still Waterproof, Shockproof and Dust-proof!
The kit includes the Cerberus tank which also comes in the excellent Geek Vape Nova kit and has 0.3ohm Super Mesh coils.
There are 5 colours to choose from – Black & Green, Stealth Black, Black & Blue, Camo & Gunmetal and Black & Red.
This was sent to me for the purposes of review and I will as always report back honestly with my findings of the kit in my possession.

Build Quality & Design
I received the Geek Vape Aegis Mini kit in the Black and Green version.
It is beautiful!!
The colour match between the green accents on the mod and the ones on the tank looks incredible too!
Geek Vape Aegis Mini Mod
This is so so so gorgeous in real life.
Little details such as the stitching on the hand grip panel – exactly like the larger versions. The colour of the stitching matches the metal mod accents and the tank accents perfectly.
This tiny little mod gives you the feel of a perfectly created miniature replica!
Every little detail is smaller and even cuter on this!
On the side of the mod is the screen which is clear and bright no issues with this at all. The adjustment buttons are below the screen and are the clicky-est-tap-dancing-shoe-noise buttons I think I have ever encountered!
The fire button is above the screen and is really small. It doesn’t have the “Rocker” switch style the bigger Aegis versions have. But perfectly responsive I just keep missing it as it is small!
The spring loaded 510 connector on the top of the mod is held in with 3 visible screws but all seems secure and no problems here. Measuring across the 510 I would say 26mm tanks should fit on here without overhang and possibly up to 28mm diameter.
On the base of the mod is the battery vent holes and the plug which you remove to access the USB charging port.
The body has a rubbery feel and it does attract fluff, but it is lovely to hold and the metallic accents and leather panel all fit perfectly. Please excuse all the fluff this has accumulated over the 2 weeks in use. Just to make it worse the tank keeps leaking so wiping the mod with a tissue is turning it into a fluffball too!
But one tip I have found a simple rinse under the tap will remove all the fluff!
Geek Vape Cerberus Tank
This is an odd creature but quite pretty.
The drip tip is huge in diameter however the centre hole is about the same size as a 510 tip!
I did find an 810 drip tip with O-rings will fit.
At the base of the tank is the adjustable airflow control ring which is super smooth without being loose and “spinny”.
You have an unscrew type top cap for refilling but it is only 90° turn to remove and replace so nice touch there Geek Vape. There are 2 filling ports under the top cap and I had no issues using 10ml or 80ml bottles to refill with.
I have had a few leaks from this tank when I first filled up. I took the base off the tank and found the installed coil was loose – so make sure to check that before you first fill up.
However as time went by I still get leaks when the mod is tipped over – even when taking the photos for this review I was mopping up behind it.
Stress Test
So as this is marketed as being Shockproof, Waterproof and Dustproof I ought to at least try and test this claim out!
I am not going to test the Cerberus tank – as quite frankly with it leaking that tells me “where e-liquid can escape then water will get in!”
So to start off I dropped the Aegis Mini mod into a bucket of water – then I turned it on to see if it would still work whilst submerged and when removed from the water.
Where would you recommend I shop for glass replacements? I bought one last month but I want to order an extra bubble tank just in case, but I am having a hard time looking somehow
Hi there where in the world are you?
Did your kit come with the Cerberus tank?
I just got mine and it’s my first. I have no idea what settings to use. Can anyone give me numbers I should start out at?
The coil has a power recommendation stamped onto it – if it is the 0.3ohm Super Mesh X2 coil (which comes with the kit) they recommend 30-45W – I tended to use mine at the higher limit of 45.
Hope this helps – you should be fine if you stick between the recommended limits and can work up or down from there to suit what you prefer
Help! I dropped my Aegis mini! The glass tank shattered and now it reads “No coil detected”.
I’ve read so much, watched MANY MANY Videos,
and asked LOTS ‘O QUESTIONS. All to no avail. Then I find this review. Very helpful!
**However, I CA NOT remove that silver piece (usually where the ‘coil’ is), Yes, I believe mine is there too. What can I do?!?!
Says No Atomizer what is that?
I bought the GeekVape Aegis Mini, but chose not to buy as a kit as I prefer pop-top lids on tanks. Instead, I purchased the GeekVape Alpha Tank. Both are purchases that I do not regret in the least.
The Aegis Mini is the best little mod with a built-in battery. I absolutely love it- it’s easy to operate, it’s durable, light, and I can count on it for a full day of vaping. The Alpha tank with the Meshmellow coils is the best darned sub-ohm mesh tank out there. I have had leaking issues with EVERY sub-ohm tank including the Freemax Mesh, Mesh Pro, and the Horizon Falcon EXCEPT the Alpha Tank. I can lie the tank on it’s side while still attached to the Aegis Mini while it’s charging and this tank refuses to leak!!
I HIGHLY recommend this set up to anyone looking for a durable vape setup that is dependable and doesn’t leak. The quality of GeekVape speaks volumes for itself. The flavor of the coils? AWESOME!!! I think the flavor is better than the Freemax Mesh AND the Horizon Falcon. I now own two Aegis Minis and two Alpha tanks. Next month, I will be buying two more Alpha Tanks and two Aegis Solo Mods. GeekVape Rocks!!
It is a great little mod isnt it – the Alpha tank I do agree is excellent I reviewed it here and it is a very good quality tank I think!

I only bought the mod because it is a little stunner, the battery life is better than the statistics would make you think, specially if you use higher resistance coils.
I put the Ofrfrfrfrfrfrfrfrrf Gear on mine with a 0.3ohm coil and it gives decent battery life at 45W with fantastic flavour.
The ultimate test is if you still use the mod after a month and I do, it is really tactile and feels great to use, I have smallish hands and love using it, the others in the range are uncomfortable for me to use but this is a little beauty in every way
Aww I didn’t know you had one as well Bill – ideal combo the Gear and this isn’t it!
I was pleasantly surprised with the battery life – much better than I was expecting!
Plus it has stood up pretty well to me giving it some abuse! Will just have to buy some new skeleton panels – gutted I mangled them!
The tank isn’t my cup of tea but with another tank or coils in I love the mod. Going to chuck a Vaporesso CCELL coil in the tank and see how that goes as they only use about 30W so would increase the battery life too!
I found the original 100W Aegis too big for me and a friend has the Legend and that is huge so this is ideal size for me.
