* Pressing the fire button and either the up/down button will adjust the brightness of the screen.

That covers the basics of this device.

The next portion of this review is purely based on my personal observation of using this kit – your own experience may differ.

The Pods :

The Boost Plus pod is designed to hold a juice capacity of 5.5ml (the original Boost was 3.7ml).

Filling the pods are such a breeze, as the filling port is at the top. So there is no need to remove the pod from the device to refill. Simply open the silicone plug and fill.

The other nice thing is that the silicone plugs do not feel like cheap material when comparing it to other pod systems. The pod itself has a dark tint to it and it can be challenging to see your juice levels when not in a light environment.

The pod is also sealed with ultrasonic technology, which means that the air tightness of the pod is reinforced and basically guarantees zero condensation.

The pod can be removed/inserted into the device by using the little button on the side for safe release. Last the airflow can be adjusted on the front of the device, I prefer leaving the airflow wide open as I have found this tends to increase your coil life.

The Coils :

The Aegis Boost Plus comes out with two coils in the box.

0.4 ohm is pre-installed in the pod and a 0.6 ohm.
The coils (like most devices these days) are push fit and it makes it simple to replace coils.

These babies are called the G.Coil Boost Formula. This basically means : bigger clouds, smooth flavour and a strong throat hit.

Pro’s :

* Longer battery life (external battery)
* Exceptional coil life
* Wattage adjustment are in .5 increments
* Adjustable airflow
* Top filling
* Coil sits in the front of the pod
* No leaking/condensation
* Water resistant (not tested)
* IP67 dustproof
* Shockproof (tested)
* 0.4 ohm coil has zero to minimal spit-back
* Different drip tips
* 5.5ml E-liquid capacity
* Comfortable to hold

Con’s :

* Fire button is extremely sensitive
* Opening/closing of battery bay (for the ladies with nails)

Personal Recommendation :

* It would be great if this pod could come out with a second pod with the 0.6 ohm pre-installed.


Overall Thoughts :

So this pod has exceeded my expectations of almost a perfect pod system. The device’s puff counter is currently on 8103 puffs and there are two things that I just have to rant and rave about.

There is ZERO leakage whatsoever and no condensation. I have also not had the need to wipe the coils or the internal section of the device.

Secondly, the coil life is astonishing. With the amount of puffs currently, there is not even a sign of the coil being close to replacing it. I have a strong suspicion that this has to do with the coil sitting in the front of the pod, so that when you vape the coil remains submerged under the e-liquid. The sweet spot for me to get the best flavour and clouds, would be around 30-33W depending on the flavour in the tank. Once this coil decides to give in, I will do a recap on this one and start testing the 0.6 ohm.

I have also accidentally drop tested this device. Where a normal mod or device will splatter into sections all that happened with the Boost is that the pod detached itself and the body of the device has a little chip in.

As this device does not use an internal battery, your usage time will differ to mine. The plus side is, if you have spare batteries that are fully charged you will never really have “down time” with this device.

Being in the battery section, as a person who as long nails most of the time, it is hard to lift the ring to unscrew the battery cover. You also need to ensure when closing the cover again that the threads are caught when closing.

These devices go for around R 790-850 and some might find it on the pricey side. I do agree on that, however with all the features, external battery, long lasting coils, etc. I feel it is worth it.

The Final TVC Verdict : This is a device I would actually be proud of recommending to new/old vapers.
 
Good morning beautiful people. I have been a bit quiet due to some crap so this week for #stoptober I am doing something a bit different.

Instead of reviews I will be doing some personal recommendations. Full reviews will be done in future.

First up.
The Good Mango from Jis Foggin.

A blend of the freshest mango, the perfect amount of ice and some hocus pocus.

Important Info - Revamp Big Rant.jpg
Juice Name : Big Rant
Manufactured By : Revamp E-Liquids
Flavour Profile : Lekker blackcurrant that is pumping with flavour.
Packaging : 120ml Dripper Bottle
Nicotine Strength Options : 2mg
PG/VG Ratio : 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from Hashtag Vapes for review purposes. This brand officially launched on the 30th of October.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The design of the label is shades of purple with the brand name, flavour name and a slight flavour description. All necessary details are visible. The thing I really like is "My Oke!" on the bottle as this truely represents South Africa.

With the fingertasting test, I get the taste of the blackcurrant something else and a bit of ice. I personally thing this something else is some sort of berry.

With inhale, the flavour is slighty sweet and you get a generous amount of blackcurrant and which I believe is berries. Now on the bottle it says it is a "Blackcurrant Concoction" and it definitely is so.

Upon exhale the flavour is similar to inhale except the ice comes into play on your palate and leaves you feeling freshed.

Although I am not a huge fan of blackcurrant as it tends to be on the sweet side, I really enjoyed this one because of the added ice. This flavour truely deserves a 'Big Rant' (wink wink).

Would I buy a bottle again? Absolutely, my bottle is empty.

Tropical Queen Important Info.jpg
Juice Name : Tropical Queen
Manufactured By : Queen of Hearts E-Liquid
Flavour Profile : A delicious blend of orange, pineapple and other hidden fruits.
Packaging : 120ml Dripper Bottle
Nicotine Strength Options : 2mg
PG/VG Ratio : 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from QOH for review purposes.

Their Story


As the ancient scrolls tell us of a female samurai who won the hearts of her foe’s all over. She was then given the title, Hato No Joo, the Queen of Hearts. She travelled all around Japan, mastering the arts of the samurai and cutting-edge recipes throughout her journey.

The story begins with her mouth-watering, taste-bud flavour cutting e-liquid made for kings and queens alike. Let the samurai give your mouth a flavourful kick it deserves.


My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The design of the label for me personally is really stunning. It is designed on black with great graphics. It also has all the necessary information you might need.

With the fingertasting test, I get the taste of the sweet tangerine, orange, ice and surprisingly you can also taste the juicy pineapple.

To get the best taste from the flavour. Follow their recommended wattages.

Low Watts (60-70)
More of a tangerine vape with orange coming through with an icy feel.

Medium Watts (70-80)
More orange and tangerine with a hint of pineapple under-tones with less ice coming through.

High Watts (90 and up)

Creamy pineapple and orange with a lingering tangerine after taste on the tongue.

I prefer this flavour on the low wattage recommendation to get more of the icy feel.

With inhale there is mostly the taste of pineapple but only slightly, a dash of orange and a bit of ice

Upon exhale this flavour just blooms. The orange and tangerine comes through extremely well and the flavour is rounded off with the ice.

This is a lovely flavour and I think because of the wattage recommendations it will appeal to more vapers. Like I said I prefer the low watts because I hate the summer.

Would I buy a bottle again? Definitely.

Can't believe we are already on Thursday. Review for today Butter 02 from Supergood.

This one was quite a surprise.

Whats Next - Supergood Butter 02.jpg
 
Important Info - Supergood Butter02.jpg
Juice Name : Butter 02
Manufactured By : Supergood
Flavour Profile : Jam, biscuit, meringue and cream.
Packaging : 60ml Dripper Bottle (50ml Shortfill)
Nicotine Strength Options : 0mg
PG/VG Ratio : 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from Supergood for review purposes.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience


You can see a lot of thought went into the design of the box and label for this brand. The box and bottle matches. The design is black with red, showing the brand name, full flavour profile and all other necessary information designed in a clever way.

With the fingertasting test, two words Jolly Jammers. This is exactly what it tastes like and my excitement levels were so high! I still like 0mg flavours because it is the purest form of flavour.

With inhale I was a bit thrown off by not tasting much more than the cream and a little bit of biscuit.

Because of the amazing taste I got with the fingertasting test I was expecting to get the same flavour. Sadly it is not entirely so. The flavours are a lot softer than I expected.

Even though the flavours are muted I still think it is a pretty decent flavour. The UK folks love this one. I have also found the more the flavour stands in the tank or the cotton, the more it comes through.

Would I buy a bottle again? Maybe.

I taste a lot of mango in the queen of hearts tropical queen. Unfortunately I am not a mango fan so was a bit disappointed but people rave about this juice.
 
My name is Chanèl Reichel, independent vape reviewer based in the beautiful city of Johannesburg, South Africa.

I started with reviews in September 2018, due to various reasons. Including but not limited to biased opinions, guys jumping onto the hype train, over-hyping flavours, etc. I ended up spending so much money on things that are not that great or do not deserve the praise it got.

My reviews and opinions are those of a personal nature and by no means reflect any organizational views or stereotypes. I tend to give my brutal honest opinion. If I do not like a juice or a flavour profile personally, I will still provide solid feedback on what I am tasting and experiencing.

I have an uniquely developed and designed rating system to no other in South Africa. All my work is also copyright protected.

Since I have started on this journey, I have not looked back.

The Vaping Chanel Insider
Okay guys and girls here we go, The Vaping Chanel's first official review...

Juice Name: Jelly Babe
Manufactured By: Hazeworks SA
Flavour Profile: Powdered Jelly Candy
Packaging: 60ml easy dripper bottle
Nicotine Strength Options: 0, 2 and 4 mg
PG/VG Ratio: 70 PG / 30 VG

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

Jelly Babe from Hazeworks SA was launched successfully on the 4th of August 2018 and I truly understand what the hype was all about.

The label has minimal graphics which makes it look elegant and the bold name catches your eye quite quickly.

When you do the finger tasting test, some juices can taste odd, too strong, very cakey, too juicy or a lot of mint. But Jelly Babe just knocks your socks off completely from the finger tasting test to vaping it and believe me you will be hooked on this flavour in no time, even if you are not a big fan of the candy flavoured juices.

To me the smell and taste is spot on if you take it and compare it to a pack of jelly babies covered in icing sugar (and yes, I did try it that way). I would use it as an ADV as the sweetness it not too overpowering.

If this does not send you on a trip down childhood memory lane, I am not sure what will.

Chances of me buying a bottle again? No doubt about it.

Cool and awesome,Chanel
 
Maybe I'm just a freak, I asked them and they said it was weird because it's only used as a filler and shouldn't be prominent. Maybe I'm just super sensitive to mango?
 
Important Info - Rich Black Grape.jpg
Juice Name: Rich Black Grape
Manufactured By: Riot Squad
Flavour Profile: Chaos of divine black grapes, offset with an understated dash of mint.
Packaging: 60ml Easy Dripper
Nicotine Strength Options: 0, 3 and 6 mg
PG/VG Ratio: 30PG/70VG

As I am part of the Riot Squad SA influencer team, these flavours were sent to me for review purposes (Distributed through White Snow) and this review is done on the 3mg.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

Bullet shaped bottle (patented), black in color for the Black Edition with a white, black and blue label. The label itself is very classy, with all the necessary information.

With the finger taste test, you will get the taste of the sweet black grapes and a whole lot of ice.

Upon inhale you are greeted with an overpowering taste of the juicy and rich black grapes.

With exhaling the flavour remains consistent but your tastebuds are smoothed and cooled with the mint.

I absolutely love grape flavours and with ice it is usually a winner. This flavour is a true palate twister.

Would I buy a bottle again? Absolutely.

Esteamed - King Swing - Important Info.jpg
Juice Name : King Swing
Manufactured By : Esteamed Premium E-Liquids
Flavour Profile : Sweet banana split with vanilla ice cream, peanut butter caramel sauce & a chocolate drizzle.
Packaging : 60ml and 120ml Dripper Bottle
Nicotine Strength Options : 2mg
PG/VG Ratio : 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from Esteamed for review purposes.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The label is really catchy with a gorilla in a crown, brand name, juice name and flavour description. All other necessary information is also visible.

With the fingertasting test the flavour is spot on to the full flavour description. Sweet caramel, ripe banana, bit of vanilla ice cream and a smooth peanut butter. You will also find small hints of the chocolate but not too much.

With inhale I did not get too much flavour. Little bit on the ice cream and I light hint of the caramel.

With exhale is where I really fell in love with this flavour. Old school banana split. All the flavours just swirl together on your palate. Not too sweet and the flavours don't overpower each other at all.

Everyone knows I am not a big dessert fan but this flavour is really exceptional.

Would I buy a bottle again? No doubt about it.

2020 has been a tough year on all levels and with the worldwide pandemic I believe a lot of people were pushed to their limits. The year was full of ups and downs but we must remember even the good that came out of it.

I wish you to look forward to the upcoming year with confidence and courage, giving wings to your dreams! Live your life to the fullest extent, Happy New Year!
