Geekvape Aegis Boost Pod/Mod Review - RBA Pod UPDATE

[Timwis]

It must be you vape much less making battery life harder to judge against the average. I have a second device that gives the same life as my other one. Obviously i vape more but i'm comparing it against many other devices of similar battery capacity and i get much better life from the likes of the RPM40 etc which includes 1300mAh and 1400mAh devices , i don't have an issue with it's battery life just it's not a pro and like mentioned i found out it is quite short of the claimed 1500mAh when the tech reviewers have tested it.

The RBA is like the Jester the way it's been implemented giving RDA flavour and building is a doddle, sure fire winner!

Yeah the RBA is a true winner and so easy to build one, i still havent experienced dry hits but man its a pain to refill this pod with certain bottles. I have a 100ml bottle and can for the life of me not fill without it blocking and pushing liquid out the top. With a 30ml bottle that has a slight cone shape dripper, it fills much better.

The best bottles to decant too are either the ones vaporesso supply with their valve fill devices or even better the ones with metal pin nozzles! The time they took before releasing the RBA the filling method should of been better thought out but it's about it's only con.

Need to see if i still have one of those Vaporesso bottles cause its highly frustrating!

Out of all the pod devices I have reviewed I think I found the two I will settle on using in the future nl. the Boost and Caliburn. Really like this device with the RBA head.

Small battery life update i tought id share comparing my wife's boost life to my boost life:

So my wife sits at her desk and vapes regularly while working, where as i walk down about 5 to 6 times to the smoking area to go and vape. She managed to get a complete full day of battery life out of her boost at 22W from 6am to 6pm till the battery was completely kaput. I see a whole day and a the following day till around 12 lunch time usage but i vape half as much or as frequant as her.

So we can come to the conclusion that as a primary vape and someone that vapes alot, should be able to see around a full day of vaping but when used as a secondary device or someone that doesnt vape that often (like every 15min) then you should see around 1 and half days at 22W.

I need to make some 50/50 MTL juice as im out so that i can put in the 1.3ohm coil and give review


Thanks guys!

I have been staying far away from pod systems as I have had really bad luck with them... until the Aegis Boost. I love this little powerhouse.

Unfortunately, mine leaks a tad. Not much, just a little. I shot @geekvape an email and the response was amazing! They are sending me a new pod!

Bought this with the RBA RDTA. I have just recently tried pods... My former buy was the jester pod and also tried that with its rba. Wasnt satisfied with that coming from a squonk daily user. And switching from dual to single coil. I had the topside, both single and dual. But was looking for an easy to carry vape mod.

So, that brings me to finding alternatives. A friend had the smok pod... Felt it was too heavy and the fill port felt hard ti fiddle around with when refilling so I passed. I got the jester... Didn't last me 2 months and died on me... And that's barely using it as the hit I got wasn't satisfying.

And this came out. Bought it along with the rba. And yeah it was... Okay.

Better than the jester at least. Then I saw a third party selling an 510 RDA adapter for it.

Bought that. It was just a simple add-on. No locks either. It held in because it had a tight fit. I got the vapefly galaxy mtl rda and now I'm satisfied.

If you have this, find the 510 adapter. Gives you more choices for the atty.

The problems I had with both the pod system and Rba:
1. Fill port, need a tool to really get it open. If you're out in a parking lot and wanted to refill...don't even bother.

2. The tank, it's too dark that it's hard to see how much juice you have left. Even if you take it off the Mod. You'll need a direct light at the opposite side to even hope to see your liquid level.

3. The charging port, why oh why is it still micro-usb and not usb-c...common...wismec r80 pod has that already and that uses a single 18650. It would charge faster..and safer.

The pro.

1. With the 510 adapter, it'll be my daily driver. Good level hit. Light and durable. And simple AF.

Yeah those 510 adaptors are very cheap to buy yet very good quality a few third party manufacturers produce then now, i have one for the boost, RPM and Vinci!

Am I allowed to ask something about the boost here regarding coils?
