New to the entire game, got my boost 4-5 days ago and used it since. No leaking to report right now. I changed juices a lot - nic salt /freebase. I also tried both coils.

I hope it stays this way because even though I am new to the entire experience, I swapped my bo pod for this one and there is a world between the two. Wouldn't want to go back.

Do you have problems filling it? I usually have a bit of a mess.

no problems for me honestly. But as I said, I only ever refilled this unit so I wouldn't know if it would be easier on other ones - or what a mess looks like. What I do is that I remove the mouthpiece then angle the pod 45 degrees circa (holding the screen of the device in front of me) and squeeze the juice in. The bottle is a bit. angled as well.

What happens is that I have a very minimal residue of e liquid near the filling hole, clean it, done.

I had many more problems understanding how certain bottles were to be opened tbf :D :D :D

Thank You, I think the 45 degree angle is the answer I was looking for.

2 days with it and I didn't liked it. Tried only with nic salts and it leaked, spits and the consumption of liquid is very high. I liked the flavor and form factor tho. The .6 ohm resistance is the highest available right now?

I wouldn't know sorry.

as said im very new and liking the boost. But my only comparison is the bo pod. still no leaking for me (fingers crossed)

    Geekvape has an rba available for it and I saw the other day that there is a coil style rba that someone else makes.

    I never even tried the subohm coils. I gave them away. No leaking at all with the above rba deck. Great flavor. Running a Ni 80 coil at .9 ohms. 18 watts. Good battery life, great form factor and durable.

    That said the dark tint in the pod is maddening and ridiculous. Nearly impossible to see the juice level, even with a light directly behind it. This makes refilling a royal pain. I practically always overfill it pouring some juice over the edge of the port. Which then of course needs to be cleaned up. You can't easily tell how low it is either.

    An otherwise overall great device is in my opinion greatly hampered by the idiotic tint in the pod.

    I don't know. I never had a problem with seeing the level...even with my old eyes.
    I hold it horizontal (button downwards) and find a light in the background, and pick up the level instantly. Maybe i'm just used to it by now. Filling isn't the best but again I found a trick that works for me. I hold it horizontal at a 45°...(button up), again with light in the back. Long needle tip bottles works best. I only spill 50% of the time lately...:lol:
    I'm at peace with the short comings of the whole setup. It is what it is. For me it definitely without a doubt is THE best of the "pods" out there atm. It goes with me everywhere. The leaking out the coil is drastically less for some reason also. I still check it regularly though.
    The RBA will step it up a notch for me i'm sure.

    Button down, light in the background works great, also old eyes here. The 45 degree angle, was suggested by a previous poster also, it too worked like a charm. The sometime leaking I can live with. These simple tips increased my likability of this pod/aio by 90%. I have the OXVA Origin 18650 AIO on order, I will be able to compare the two. Thanks for the tips.

    Mmm have to say, i'm impressed by it. Just watched a TonyB review on it. In it he says its designed by the same guy that did the Aegis and Zues products. Fantastic flavor off the coils he says. That's something to take note of.

    I built one of mine tonight. The airflow is a lot tighter than the stock coil. Did I do something wrong?

    Had the same thing. I got the little RBA for the PAL 2 pro (It coincidentely fits various other pods to). It's basically the same size as the one for the boost.
    Built it and couldn't get much airflow through it. Haven't bothered with it again. It's soooo tiny that there isn't much room for air to flow through IMO.

    Sadly still waiting for a resolution for mine with April from @Geekvape_Official :(
    not had a response for around 3 weeks now. Glad the others have got their rba pods.
    I have a rba pod for my Pal 2 that just came a few days ago, and yes it does have tight airflow but works in the Pal2 and is pretty decent and even then its not the Artery one, its the VSS RBA kit.
    Cant find the artery rba kit anywhere other than China.
