Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Aegis Boost Plus 40W Pod Mod Kit from Geekvape. The Aegis Boost Plus 40W Pod Mod Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Clay from Geekvape.

Introduction
I think most expected once the Boost was released in time a version accommodating an 18650 battery would follow. Unlike with other pod mods with versions accommodating an external battery we see no increase in max wattage instead just battery capacity which most will welcome. It would of been so easy to just increase the size to allow for an 18650 and leave it at that but Geekvape have gone to town on upgrading the Boost radically.
Although loved the Boost was a very simple power mode only device with very basic screen. The Plus has a more advanced display giving much more information and the device boasts Power, TC-SS, TCR, VPC (curves) and Bypass modes. With a bigger device comes a bigger pod with increased capacity which although very similar in design to the original has had some minor adjustments to address issues some users had. Let's give the Boost Plus a closer look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Aegis Boost Plus Kit came in Black Geekvape sample cardboard box packaging and on opening i was met by a much larger version of the Boost. Like the Boost if it wasn't for the cartridge/Pod fitted to the top of the device it pretty much looks like one of the smaller Aegis devices like the Mini or Solo. The device has the same busy look made of Zinc Alloy, Army grade Silicone and Leather, as usual the colour version is determined by what colour the ever present bracket is. I received the Gunmetal version, the colour options are Space Black, Devil Red, Almighty Blue, Aura Glow, Gunmetal and Classic Silver, the protruding pod is darkly tinted and the mouthpiece/drip tip protrudes proudly. The light weight of the device (considering materials used), curved spine and light switch style fire button makes it a very ergonomic device. The Aegis Boost Plus has the same impressive build quality as the other devices in the Aegis family and boasts the same IP67 rating.
Aegis Boost next to the Aegis Boost Plus!

Triple System Rant
A lot of the marketing is around this being a triple system device but all you get with the kit is the pod that accommodates replaceable coils. It's good there will be a 510 adaptor to use standard tanks and RDTA pod for a rebuildable option but then half the pod mods i have there is both an adaptor and rebuildable option available (indeed the original boost is one) yet none of them are so called triple system devices, so what's the difference? None!
Geekvape either include the adaptor and rebuildable option and then do all the marketing you want referring to it being a triple system device or stick to the facts it's a pod mod, a very good one with plenty of good features you can use for marketing, but just a pod mod!
Also within that Triple system marketing they are recommending the pod for nic salts. In my opinion i just feel the coils that are available for this device are not the best option for nic salts.

The Pod/Cartridge
The pod is darkly tinted but due to it's large size i could easily see the e-liquid inside so i'm fine with that. The pods capacity is 5.5ml (2ml TPD version) and accommodates replaceable coil heads that get press fitted into place. On the pod we have a removable drip tip/mouthpiece and a fill port which is accessible without removing the pod from the device. We also have adjustable airflow in the form of a wheel which is a big pro. On the lower rear of the pod we have a textured catch, this needs pressing to release the pod from the device.
The Aegis Boost original pod did have issues which most overlooked due to loving the performance of the device and vape quality. The larger Boost Plus device means a larger pod and Geekvape have used the extra real estate very well to address these issues. We have a much larger airflow control wheel which is less fiddly and much easier to adjust and the drip tip has been moved from the rear to the front leaving a large area of real estate at the rear of the top of the pod. On the rear of the top of the pod is where we now find the much improved fill port, the bung is easily lifted and fastens in place with almost a click that sounds very reassuring (yep that's sealed alright), filling is mess free with now no drip tip in the way obstructing the fill process.
