    Somewhere between here and there
    i have tried various liquids, different brands and VG/PG consistancy, its just happening to all of them.
    However it is noticeably less on the higher ohm coil.
    im stumped also, as what else could it be?
    ive watched lots of reviews and imitated what they are doing when filling and changing coils etc. I had to stop using it as there is ejuice coming out through the charging port and its damaging my cables now so i have put it aside to dry and will take another look soon. i hope i can get it fixed as its a fantastic vape.



    Sadly, i still not even recevied one reply from April @Geekvape_Official so i cant even explain whats going on or been done about this.
    likewise i havent changed the mod either as i have invested quite a bit in the mod with accessories and should not have to spend more.
    these do seem like isolated incidents so lets see what happens.

    just to elaborate:
    leaking juice from basically everywhere, now even through the air flow.
    lots of spit back also.
    Using the higher Ohm coil, has helped but only to a extent.
    i am still holding out for the rba pod just in case once available in the UK.

    Have you tried emailing support@geekvape.com? I've had good luck with emailing them in the past.

    With me it may be user error, every time I refill it's a mess. It could be that I'm older(73) and not as steady as I used to be. All of my other pods/tanks that I refill do not have this problem. IMHO it should be easy peasy, not a chore.
    If you use a syringe to fill it 90% full you should see 0 mess.

    I just returned from a 2 week holiday. I used my boost (0.6ohm coil) 95% of the time in the end. It started as a convenience thing, but gradually I found I didn't want to use anything else. Its just fantastic vape for me.
    I saw right in the beginning it leaked though. Kept an eye on it and removed the pod frequently to dry. I used to remove to dry every time I refilled...lately I find myself doing it more often (safety sake)...irretating to say the least.
    I'm on my 3rd coil now and finding the same kind of leak on all of them. When I take the pod out I find a round puddle of juice in the centre of the coil (o ring and contact points). What worries me is if I leave it to long it will spill over into the mod via the holes in there. Don't know if those holes goes through to the inside of the mod...?
    Anyway i'm living in high anticipation for the RBA to make it to market. I emailed Geekvape quite a while ago and they answered that the RDTA will be released by the end of Nov...so much for that !

    Thank you @Geekvape_Official for responding. I don't feel the need to complain to her. I'm sure they're working on the problem and i'm getting good service out of the coils. I'm keeping an eye on it and maintaining it as best I can. I'm just hoping that the problem is solved by the time I buy coils again.
    Mind you I think will correspond with her. She might tell me whether they're working on it... I don't want to buy coils when the problem is still existing.

    this is pretty much similar to me, and leaking in the same spots.
    Just becareful it will start leaking more and alot will go down in the little holes under the pod, meaning sjuice will start leaking from the mod it self like mine. i also am holding out for rba pod but im thinking the mod is the issue for me.

    This is how much leaked in about 2hrs... since I last cleaned it.

    Like you I am very disappointed in the Aegis Boost. I'll just bite the bullet and wait for the OXVA Origin 18650 AIO to come out.

    just goolged it looks great and rba pod also.
    i will just wait for the rba pod for the boost just in case and go from there.

    @Geekvape_Official seeing that you're so diligent in communicating...when will the RDTA be released? Surely you have the inside knowledge ;)
    The mass production will be on 15th Jan. And you will buy it from your local vape store on about 25th Jan.

    I took the rubber yellow ring off from the bottom of the coil (0.6). Came out pretty easy and there's coil ends involved there to. The seal seats on the wires. Somehow it don't seal well enough. When the coil heats up constantly, that leads to leaking out that seal. They'll have to improve on the design of the coil. Clearly this design don't work.
