Aspire continues their mythological theme with the naming of a new high-voltage device for advanced vapers. They brought us the Triton, Nautilus and Atlantis tanks and developed a reputation for being among the best brands of vaping tanks.
Now there is the Aspire Pegasus which carries a delicate air and takes an elegant shape in stark contrast to the dowdy black ESP. Where the latter was black and dumpy, the Pegasus is shiny and slender. Choose brushed slate, brass, or chrome, each classy exterior an accurate representation of classy internal elements.
Pegasus Features
Most box mods are controlled using buttons. Their shapes change: some are round, others are square, and a few are triangular. The Aspire Pegasus is fitted with a dial control at the top for setting voltage or wattage as per the mode users select. In this respect, the Pegasus resembles an eGrip by Joyetech. A side firing button gives vapers access to the menu for selecting a mode but also allows him to lock and unlock the mod for safety.
Clear View
View chosen settings on a well-lit, clear rectangular screen under the firing button.
A USB port is located beneath the screen. You will notice that the Aspire Pegasus reads volts and resistance to the hundredth place, an uncommon display of precision. The level of your battery’s charge is also on display.
Message in a Box Mod
Aspire’s online page for the Pegasus shows you the messages to expect when problems arise according to the control chip. For high temperatures the screen reads “Too Hot.” When resistance is low it shows “Check Atomizer.” A problem with low voltage is displayed as “Throttled” while “Low Resistor” tells you there has been a short. Instructions are clear and easy to read.
High-Performance Vaporizer
The Pegasus manages to reach 70 watts which enables users to attach a sub-ohm atomizer reaching 0.2 ohms. This is indeed a cloud-chasing device compatible with Aspire’s sub-ohm tank series: the Triton and Atlantis. A Nautilus would also fit nicely if you run the Pegasus at low rather than sub-ohms. Aspire could be poised to cut a fine figure in the realm of high-end vaporizers.
Charging Dock
Most vaporizer batteries are charged in one of two ways: the battery comes out or there is a USB port and cable, possibly allowing one to vape and charge simultaneously. The Pegasus battery is built in so you can’t take it out to recharge while inserting a new cell.
There is a port, but the Pegasus also fits a different type of charger: a dock which connects to a USB cable. Plant your Pegasus in the dock which also acts as a stand. Consumers have the option to use the USB port without the dock by the look of things.
Aspire’s Pairing Preference
The 510-threaded well for the Pegasus lets vapers select virtually any well-made tank to go with it, even an RDA which would be put to good use at 70 watts. Aspire has created a set, however, known as the Odyssey (another nod to Greek mythology). This set contains the Pegasus mod and a Triton tank.
Triton’s pre-built coils are built for 0.3 ohms or 0.4 ohms (up to 55 watts) and there is a 1.8-ohm coil as well. The optional RTA atomizer head gives customers the chance to build their own coils to an even lower resistance: perhaps the 0.2-ohm rating which is your mod’s minimum allowance.
An Odyssey set contains the Pegasus, a charging cable, but no charging dock according to descriptions of the package online. Hollowed-out sleeves featuring stainless steel filigree or a skull are also available to protect your glass tube.
