Geekvape Aegis Boost LE Pod Kit

In short: a tough, refillable pod mod with a 1500mAh built-in battery, 5W to 40W of power and adjustable airflow. It does a tight, cigarette-like draw or a big open lung hit, depending on the coil. Best for vapers moving on from disposables who want one kit that can grow with them. Not ideal if you want a slim, lightweight pen.

The Geekvape Aegis Boost LE Pod Kit is the Luxury Edition of the original Geekvape Aegis Boost, the first pod kit in the Aegis range. The device is the same as the standard Boost. LE packs add extras such as a lanyard and key ring. It is not the Geekvape Aegis Boost 2, Boost 3 or Boost Pro, which use different pods.

Planet of the Vapes' reviewer rated the Boost the best MTL device they had tried at the time, scoring it 9.5 out of 10.

Geekvape Aegis Boost LE Specs Vapers Check

Pick Your Inhale on the Aegis Boost LE

Mouth to lung (MTL) is a tight pull into your mouth first, like a cigarette. Direct to lung (DTL) is a big open breath straight to the lungs. This kit does both.

• 0.6 ohm coil, airflow closed (around 13W to 20W): MTL. POTV's reviewer broke the coil in at 10W, then settled at about 13W for a warm, tight draw.
• 0.4 ohm coil, airflow open (around 30W): DTL. Thicker clouds and more flavour, but it empties the pod much faster.
• Coming from disposables? Start on the 0.6 ohm coil with the airflow nearly closed. It is the closest feel to a disposable.

Geekvape Aegis Boost LE Key Features

• Two kits in one: swap a coil and turn the dial to go from MTL to DTL.
• Aegis toughness: resists water, dust and knocks. Not rated for dunking, as water can get in through the air intake.
• Refillable pods: fill with your own liquid. Far cheaper than prefilled pods over a month.
• Full control: set the wattage yourself instead of guessing.
• Simple controls: five clicks on or off, hold up and down together to lock settings.

Coils and the Right E-Liquid

On the 0.6 ohm coil, use nic salts or 50/50 liquid from the 50/50 e-liquids range. Nic salts give a smooth throat hit at 10mg or 20mg. On the 0.4 ohm coil, switch to 70/30 shortfill at 3mg or 6mg, as high-strength salts get harsh at 30W.

Battery, Coil Life and Running Cost

• Battery: about a full day on MTL and four to five hours of heavy DTL, based on POTV's test.
• Coil life: one to two weeks on MTL with nic salts. Sweet liquids wear coils quicker.
• Rough weekly cost: one coil from a 5-pack of Geekvape B Series coils is about £2 a week, plus your liquid. That is well below the cost of a prefilled pod habit.

Compatibility and Refills

• Coils that fit: Geekvape Boost and B Series coils (0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6 ohm and more). The same coils fit Geekvape Z Nano 2 tanks.
• Pods that fit: Geekvape Aegis Boost replacement pods and the Boost RBA pod.
• Does not fit: pods for the Geekvape Aegis Boost Pro, Boost 2 or Boost 3. Those have different shapes.

How to Set Up the Geekvape Aegis Boost LE

1. Charge the kit fully before first use.
2. Pull the pod out, push a coil into the bottom and drip a few drops onto the cotton.
3. Open the top bung and fill the pod. It is dark, so POTV's tip is to take it out to see the level.
4. Click the pod back in and wait five to ten minutes for the coil to soak.
5. Press fire five times to switch on. Start at 10W on the 0.6 ohm coil or 25W on the 0.4 ohm coil.
6. Turn the airflow dial until the draw feels right.

How to Make It Last Longer

• Empty the pod before changing the coil to avoid spills.
• Do not chain vape on the 0.6 ohm coil. Short puffs keep the cotton wet.
• Wipe the pod contacts every few days with a tissue.
• Charge before the battery is empty to keep the built-in cell healthy.
• Replace the pod every few months, as the bung loosens over time.

Best Colours

Black and Gun Metal suit vapers who want a plain, grown-up kit that looks the same at work and at home. Silver and Grey give the classic Aegis finish. Red, Blue and Navy Blue are easy to spot in a car or a bag. Rainbow is for collectors. The kit comes in Black, Red, Blue, Navy Blue, Silver, Gun Metal, Grey and Rainbow.

Price and Value

Versus the Geekvape Aegis Boost 3 Pod Vape Kit, the Boost LE has less power (40W against 60W) but does the tight MTL draw better, and its coils are cheap and easy to find. See every Geekvape kit.
