Build Quality & Durability

If you care about rugged box mods, the Aegis Legend 5 wins easily.

  • Aegis Legend 5 – IP68-rated, rubberized frame, metal chassis, and that classic Aegis “tool-grade” feel. Reviewers consistently praise how it handles drops, rain and daily abuse without blinking.
  • X-PRIV Solo – More of a stylish, glossy sub-ohm box mod. It’s compact and feels solid, but it’s not built to be thrown around or soaked. Customer reviews highlight the small size and nice hand-feel more than durability.
  • Drag X2 – Zinc-alloy frame with leather (or vegan-leather) panels, comfortable and sturdy. Not “indestructible,” but users like that it feels premium without being heavy.

Takeaway:

  • Work in construction, outdoors, or just hard on devices? Legend 5 is your “buy it once” option.
  • Care more about style and compact size? X-PRIV Solo or Drag X2 will feel nicer in the hand.

Chipset, Modes & Day-to-Day Performance

This is where box mods Geekvape, SMOK and Voopoo really separate.

Geekvape Aegis Legend 5 – Power User’s Box Mod

The AS-Chip gives you up to 200W plus full TC and custom curves. Smart mode caps the wattage so you don’t fry your coils, and Eco mode squeezes extra life out of your batteries.

Pros from reviews & customers:
  • Rock-solid power delivery even at higher wattages
  • Physical lock switch is more reliable than touch-locks on older Aegis models
  • Big screen and cleaner UI compared to the Legend 3
Cons:
  • Overkill if you never vape above ~70W
  • Heavier than the other two because of dual 18650s

SMOK X-PRIV Solo – Straightforward & Tank-Focused

The X-PRIV Solo’s board is simple: traditional wattage mode paired with the TF-D Subtank and D-coils. It’s aimed at people who just want a box mod starter kit that blows good clouds without learning a whole menu system.

Pros:
  • Plug-and-play wattage, no complicated modes
  • Tank is praised for flavour and smooth DTL draw
  • Dual-screen layout and vibration reminders give it a “high-tech” feel
Cons:
  • No Smart or TC modes if you like tweaking
  • Glossy finish can show fingerprints and scratches
  • Uses a tank with 510 connection – great for flexibility, but taller in the pocket

Voopoo Drag X2 – Smart Pod-Style Box Mod

The Drag X2 leans into Voopoo’s GENE.TT 2.0 chip with Smart, RBA and ECO modes. Smart mode auto-sets a safe wattage for the coil; ECO mode helps stretch battery life when you’re low.

Pros:
  • Very fast firing and responsive draw
  • Top-airflow PnP-X pod is designed to be leak-resistant and easy to live with
  • Feels like a pod system but performs like a compact sub-ohm kit
Cons:
  • Bottom or side fill port design isn’t everyone’s favourite in some versions; a few reviewers mention it’s less convenient than top-fill.
  • Being a pod rather than a 510 tank, you’re tied to the PnP-X platform (which is good, but less universal).

Flavour & Coils

All three are strong performers, but they shine in slightly different roles.

  • Legend 5 – Because it’s a pure box mod, flavour depends on the tank/coil you pair with it. Many Supa Vapes customers run Geekvape Z or other sub-ohm tanks on it and love the dense flavour at 70–100W.
  • X-PRIV Solo – The included TF-D Subtank with mesh D-coils is built for DTL cloud chasing; reviewers call out surprisingly rich flavour for an 80W kit.
  • Drag X2 – PnP-X coils have a reputation for strong flavour and good coil life, especially if you like 40–60W sweet/fruity juices. The top-airflow design helps reduce leaking compared to older PnP pods.

If your main priority is best vape flavours with minimal leaking, the Drag X2 and X-PRIV Solo are both very strong out of the box. Legend 5 can absolutely match them – you just choose a good tank.

Battery Life, Portability

  • Legend 5 – Dual 18650 means full-day battery life even at high wattage for most users, but it’s the bulkiest of the three. Great if you don’t mind the size.
  • X-PRIV Solo – Single 18650 at up to 80W; fine for moderate use, but cloud chasers may want a spare battery. Still one of the smallest sub-ohm box mods on the market.
  • Drag X2 – Single 18650 plus ECO mode makes it very efficient in that 30–50W sweet spot. Lightweight and pocket-friendly, especially compared to traditional box mods.

When people look for box mods near me, they often show up at Supa Vapes asking for something that doesn’t feel like a brick. In those cases, we see a lot of Drag X2 and X-PRIV Solo going out the door. For customers who say, “I want something that won’t die or break on me,” the Legend 5 is the go-to.
