I recently bought the Boost RBA and for me, the flavor was weak compared to some of my billet box bridges (like vapeshell). I vape MTL with about a 1.5mm on-deck airflow restrictor. Looking at it, I noticed the airflow holes on the base of the deck were big for MTL vaping. The two big ones are about 4mm combined. While the airflow can be reduced with the ring, I think the air that does go through is still spread amongst that 4mm+ opening and is not the same a traditional on deck airflow restrictor.
I solved this the old fashioned way by rolling some mesh and inserting it in the two large airholes. They each had a hollow center of about .8mm. Doing this improved the flavor for me pretty noticably. I'm still playing with the mesh opening size but for me, there was a definete improvement.
Also discovered after dropping a piece of mesh through one of the air holes in the deck and having to fish it out, that the deck can be dissasembled using an allen wrench and unscrewing the center on the bottom connector of the pod. Positive terminal just pops out.

I’ve tried a few different coils and wicks so far on the rba and have had drastically different flavor production depending on the coil, placement, and wick. At first the airflow was a bit tight with the coil lower but flavor was good. That was one of the included coils. Next was a flat braided 316 coil and flavor was ok but not great but more airflow with the coil higher. I rewicked the same coil yesterday and flavor is much better. I don’t like a tight airflow and run it open.
is it RBA tight or loose draw? I'm a fan of a tight mtl vaping and "normal" cartridges have too much air for my taste.
The airflow is adjustable so you can change it. My first build was very tight compared to the standard pods. It also depends on coil height and wicking but I think you should be able to make it tight enough.
change the drip tip, i like the ones from ammit rta mtl... you will see a big difference
I use ss316 in mine and haven't had an issue. Maybe check to make sure your coil is locked in tight. Sometimes a loose connection can make a mod keep asking if it's a new coil.
Thanks. I'll triple check. I did two seperate builds and did check connections but who knows? Threw a factory coil in and it was stable and then a kanthal build and that was stable too... You're probably right. It's good to know others are having success.
let us know if the proper drip-tip changes your perspective about it!Ok, I'll give him a chance
Regards,
Got my boost plus an RBA today. Sadly the RBA is defective. It does not clip into the mod. A replacement from the vape shop is coming in 2 days. They had a few duds so far. The pod it came with and 0.4 mesh coil is vaping like a dream. Perfect DTL. No leaking yet on day 1.
had the same issue, the thing is the coil into build deck, you have make sure connection is well done and tight enough!
