Tired of fragile vapes that can't handle your adventurous lifestyle? Meet the Geekvape Aegis Boost 3, the latest iteration in Geekvape's legendary rugged line of vape kits, built to endure and deliver an exceptional vaping experience. 

Before we take a look at the new Boost 3 starter kit, here's a brief rundown of the the devices that led up to this release and the legacy of Geekvape's Aegis Boost series.

Geekvape Aegis Boost 3 Starter Kit Vape

The Geekvape Aegis Boost series has made a significant impact in the vaping community, particularly with its emphasis on durability and performance. The original Aegis Boost, introduced around 2019, set a new standard for pod mod devices by combining a compact design with robust features.

Building on this foundation, the Aegis Boost Plus was released, offering enhancements such as a replaceable 18650 battery, which extended its lifespan and provided more power. This model continued the legacy of its predecessor by maintaining the rugged design and improving user experience.

The Aegis B60, also known as the Geekvape Aegis Boost 2, built upon the popularity of its predecessor with refined features. Released in 2022, the B60 maintained the rugged design while incorporating technology improvements that resonated well with vapers.

Keeping these devices in mind, let's take a look at the brand new Aegis Boost III from Geekvape. 

Geekvape Aegis Boost 3 Unboxing

A quick disclaimer: This is the CRC variant of the Aegis Boost III that is designated to be sold in Canada. The global variant of any CRC vape device may have slight differences, such as a larger e-liquid capacity or a different pod/coil setup, but the usability and operation of device will mostly remain identical.

At first glance we're met with typical Geekvape style packaging, with very little hinting that the vape inside is packed with some of the most impressive and innovative vaping tech yet. 

Design and Durability – A Vape Built to Last

Inside the box you'll find a vape that largely resembles the Aegis B60 Boost, although the Boost 3's curves are slightly subdued and the wattage adjustment buttons are now flush with the device, minimizing the risk the accidental power changes while in your pocket. 
The big changes with the Aegis Boost 3 vape are noticed the you pick it up. The Aegis Boost 3 is built like a tank, with premium materials that feel noticeably solid in the hand. The first thing you'll notice once you've got the vape powered on is the new intelligent auto locking system that detects when you're holding the vape, stopping it from ever firing or in your pocket or adjusting the power when you don't intend to. 
Geekvape Aegis Boost 3 Accessories

Included in the packaging is the standard assortment of Aegis Boost accessories to get you started. Along with the usual user manual and warranty documentation, you'll receive USB Type-C charging cable, a spare coil for the Boost III Pod, a replacement rubber o-ring, and a tank wrench to help you remove the coil when it's time for a replacement.

The Geekvape Aegis Boost III pod has remained largely unchanged for the CRC version of the starter kit. The pod has an airflow adjustment slider on the back and still has a removable mouthpiece that reveals an insert for a 510 drip tip if you prefer something smaller and a rubber fill port on the front that's labeled with an e-liquid symbol making it easy for beginners to understand without having to dive into the user manual. 

Geekvape Aegis Boost 3 Vape: New Features

The Boost III adds a few new features to the already popular rugged vaping kit. here's where we'll look at some of those features and answer a few common questions about the device. Keep in mind, the additional features mentioned are extras on top of the already robust Aegis device features, like it's IP68 water, dust, and crush resistance rating. 

How to lock and unlock the Geekvape Aegis Boost 3

The Aegis Boost III vape features a groundbreaking biosensing technology embedded in the rear of the device, automatically detecting human touch, enabling you to grasp and unlock your Boost 3 with ease. 

The coolest part about this new feature is that it works without any additional effort from the vapers end, and we'll add that it actually does a pretty impressive job keeping the entire process automatic. We tested it with dry and wet hands and ran into zero issues with the device unlocking correctly. 

The device is locked in its default state. Holding the device, we can carefully position out hands to not be touching the biosensing back of the device. 

How to unlock the Geekvape Aegis Boost 3 Vape
The moment you grab the device like you're about to use it, it intuitively unlocks itself and allows you to vape as normal. This isn't a feature that you'll notice a lot, but it works well and adds a huge layer of protection for vapers that are experience misfires or autofiring while the device is in your bag or pocket.

While most vapers will find the default firing mode more than adequate, having the option to really tailor the experience to you is a huge benefit for advanced vapers. 

Geekvape Aegis Boost 3: How to Change the Colour Theme

Clicking the fire button 3 times gets you to the menu of the Aegis Boost 3. The wattage adjustment buttons can be used to navigate up and down the menu, with the fire button acting as the select button. 

Choosing "color" from the menu will allow you to change the devices UI theme to one of 5 colours. 

Geekvape Aegis Boost 3: How to turn on Fire Lock settings

Just about every vape on the market has some sort of locking mechanism. Some brands go the route of locking only the wattage adjustment buttons so they don't accidentally change in your pocket. The "lock" setting from other brands might lock down the entire device, meaning you can't adjust the wattage OR fire the vape at all until it's unlocked. 

While both of these options are acceptable in their own uses, vapers have been long asking for the ability to decide how the device locks for themselves. It doesn't seem like a huge feature, but this can be a make or break decision when you need a specific setup. 

Geekvape, true to their innovative style, now allows vapers to customize the lock settings. 

Why has it taken so long for a brand to implement this feature? We aren't sure, but for us, and for many vapers in Canada, it's a welcome addition.

Geekvape Aegis Boost 3: How to Change the Coil

Geekvape's Boost 3 pods are hefty in their own right. The coil sits tight in the pod and gives you the feeling that it won't pop out or lose connection at random. The tolerances on the Geekvape Aegis Boost replacement coils are very tight, and will often require the use of a removal tool when changing coils. 

Geekvape includes a coil wrench in the packaging for the Boost 3. It lines up perfectly with the flush edges of the Boost coil, and gives you some leverage when trying to pull the coil up. 

Inserting a new coil is not nearly as complex, just align the two flat edges with the corresponding sides at the bottom of your Boost 3 pod and press into the pod so that the o-rings on the coil sit flush.

The front of the Boost 3 pod houses a rubber stopper where the pod can be filled from. The addition of e-liquid iconography on the seal itself makes it an easy identifier for beginner vapers. 
These were only a few of the most commonly asked about features on the Aegis Boost 3 starter kit. For those who want to learn more about this vape; come check it out in store or take a peek at the upgrade chart below, comparing the B60 Boost with the new Boost 3.
