From what I heard and my experience, Falco is the best as it does not soften the sponge to the point where it's mush. The other Chinese boosters have a stronger effect that isn't really mean't for tenergy as they are mean't for chinese rubbers that are extremely hard.

I heard trf and dandoy are better for tenergy, and don't soften the sponge as much as falco would. I can say from personal experience that falco does turn tenergy into a pile of mush.

How come boosters arent made equally?

So dandoy bio booster, it boosts the same intensity, but retains the hardness more, how does that work?? So puzzled

I am so surprised that many ones voted for Falco Long which is a rubber killer. I personally vote for Lidu clear but I use my Reviver instead because it thinner and still maintaining the hardness.
There is no real "pro", "prov" or "NT" H3 in the market.

I'm wondering what boosters were tested, and which two were found to contain poisonous materials.

I tried falco with MXP and ELS and indeed made it mushy. 
Don't try on T05, tenergy lasts way longer than most rubbers.

I liked falco with H3-50. Will be trying very soon with H3 Neo comm. version.

Still turns T05 to mush ( Dandoy).

only tried falco a few times on a few rubbers (a few hard and a few med-hard rubbers), totally agree with the term used here. Once the boosting wears off a bit, the rubber turns into a mushy, bouncy mess which doesn't feel like the original rubber at all, also takes away the top-end gear due to how soft it turns the rubber.

Idk what other players use, but Chinese players generally use Kailin for Tenergy and Haifu for Hurricane.

I found that after boosting any rubber twice with the falco long temp, the sponge would lose it's sprigingness and become unplayable. Unless you are rich, don't ever boost your brand new rubbers.

Whatever people say T05 and boosters came in the market just after the speed glue era and surely T05 was meant to be boosted and any booster will enhance and thus soften the sponge, but then we had the C ball and being softer wasn't so bad. Now things are different and a boosted rubber feels softer under the heavier and bigger P ball

Does any booster on the market bring the speed glue sound?
In my view, only fews in this list could make loud sound, the common is they are all thinner than water.

I only ever use booster on old rubbers once the factory boosting has worn off. 
I find Revolution No.3 booster works best for this as it doesn't leave a residue and doesn't seem to soften or expand the sponge much if at all. 
It just seems to return the sponges to their original state and lasts quite a while.
I haven't tried it on Tenergy, but it has worked well for this purpose on everything I have.

After 1 month of use, I used to apply 2 layers of Dianchi on my T64, then I could play it for another 1 month at 100%...then straight in the basket....

I can't speak for regular Falco, but the Falco Long Tune will soften virtually any sponge over time, including Tenergy.

Hate to be that guy, but I really really really doubt anyone posting here needs to be worrying about boosting Tenergy, just based on the number of high level players who don't boost their Tenergy and are in no way wanting for speed or spin...

If you are happy with your Tenergy how it is, don't boost it. It's simple as that.
If you want it to be a bit softer and a bit faster, you can boost it (I used Falco Long booster). Of course the rubber will play a bit differently, because the rubber is now a bit softer and a bit faster.

How much does the sponge soften depends on how much booster you put on the sponge. I don't recommend putting more than 1 normal layer or 2 very thin layers of Falco booster on any Tenergy (incl. FX). If you use more booster than that, it will become mushy.

By the way Chop4ever's sponge booster is pretty good on tenergy, it boosts it without softening it. Also well priced in my opinion.

Fair, I'm using MXP and Aurus Prime with Falco Long atm, and while it's nice, the Aurus Prime feels a bit soft and the MXP nearly too soft (with only 1 medium layer).

I've ordered a TRF, and while I know it would mess up a T05 (it messed up mine!), would it work better with MXP for not softening it up as much? Seeing as MXP allegedly is boosted with something like TRF out of the package from the smell. Have you tried Falco Long and can compare?
