This follows on from the superb Thelema Nano that we recently reviewed, and we’ve also had a look at the Lost Vape Ursa Nano S II, Ursa Nano 3, Lightrise TB 18K and Movement LV 18K over the past year.

Lost Vape are well known for delivering some cracking pod systems as you can see from the reviews above!

Will the Thelema Elite S continue that trend? Read on to find out more…

What Can We Expect From The Lost Vape Thelema Elite S?

Lost Vape look to redefine mouth to lung vaping with the Thelema Elite S, featuring Boost and Eco modes and the E Plus Dual Mesh Cartridge!

Boost and Eco modes allow you to enjoy a subtle mouth to lung vape in Eco mode, or intensify the vape further by using Boost mode to drive more power to the dual mesh coils in the E Plus Dual Mesh Cartridge, with a maximum output of 40W.

With the E Plus Dual Mesh Cartridge, you can enjoy rich, layered flavours from your e-liquid thanks to E-Core Tech 3.0, and a 5-layer anti-leak design makes vaping your Thelema Elite S a mess-free experience.

E-Core Tech 3.0 enhances the sweetness, coolness and complexity of e-liquids, ensuring a consistent and flavourful experience with each puff. Throat hit is increased by 200%, flavour authenticity by 100% and vapour by 60% for an intense experience!

A 1400mAh battery comes built-in, providing ultra-long battery life and uninterrupted vaping enjoyment throughout the day, and Type-C fast charging is included. You can also adjust the airflow easily thanks to the conveniently placed airflow slider.

Many thanks to Lost Vape for sending the Thelema Elite S pod kit in for review, let’s see how this new addition to the Thelema range performs!

As always, all views are my own…

Build Quality

Lost Vape have manufactured a small form factor vape pod system with the Thelema Elite S, this has measurements of 36.9mm x 19.5mm x 85mm and slots into the palm of my hand beautifully, feeling very nice to hold indeed.

It’s a lightweight pod system too, weighing only 65.5g, however this does make the device feel that the build quality isn’t quite as robust as some similar pod systems that I have tried out recently.

Certainly, the finish is quite prone to picking up scratches, whilst I’ve been testing it out I’ve picked up noticeable scratches and some chips on the finish.

Though I have dropped it a couple of times and the cosmetic blemishes haven’t impacted on the vape at all!

Six different colours are available for the Thelema Elite S, with Light Pink, Light Lavender, Twill Denim Blue, Twill Black, Twill Silver and Black Carbon finishes available.

Depending on which finish you have gone for, the material used in the construction of the body of the device will either be manufactured from polycarbonate or from polyurethane leather.

Lost Vape sent me the Twill Denim Blue and the Light Lavender versions, with the Twill Denim Blue having a polycarbonate finish and the Light Lavender version having the polyurethane leather one, and in all honesty there isn’t much between them.

At a push, I would say that I preferred the jean-like texture of the Twill Denim Blue finish, as the Light Lavender one was a little too smooth for me.

In terms of other features, there’s a ‘Switch’ button on the side of the device, a basic screen that shows the battery life and the output mode, a USB-C charging port and an airflow control slider.

As with pretty much all pod systems these days, pods connect magnetically to the device though there is a bit of wobble and rattle present. This doesn’t actually impact on the connection however.

Quick Start Guide

How to Fill the Pod

You’ll need to remove the pod from the device in order to fill it, and if you are filling a new E Plus Cartridge for the first time then you need to let the e-liquid sit in the pod for at least five minutes to allow the cotton to fully absorb the e-liquid.

To fill up the E Plus Cartridge you need to-

• Remove the pod from the device.
• Locate the silicon filling port cover near the base of the pod and lift it up to expose the filling port.
• Insert the e-liquid bottle nozzle and fill the pod all the way up before replacing the silicon filling port cover
• Replace the pod in the device

Operation

Lost Vape have designed the Thelema Elite S to be an accessible and easy to use pod system, this even has an auto-draw system so to fire it you simply take a puff on the pod.

You can turn the device on and off by pressing the switch button five times in two seconds, and by pressing the switch button twice you can switch between eco and boost modes.

Four bars on the screen represent the current battery level, and this also lights up and loops whilst taking a draw on the device.

Charging

There’s a Type-C port on the front of the device which charges at 5V/1.4A, and it is actually reasonably speedy at charging the 1400mAh battery.

Charging status is displayed on the screen, and when fully charged the screen will stay illuminated for 10 seconds before turning off entirely.

Safety Features

• Low battery protection- this is where battery voltage drops below 3.3V or 2.8V when in use. Output automatically cuts off and the battery level indicator flashes 10 times with the last light bar.
• Check Atomiser- means no resistance has been detected, all indicators will flash 5 times
• Short Circuit- if a short circuit is present, all indicators will flash 3 times
• Too Hot- if the device temperature is above 60C, all indicators will flash 6 times and the output will cut off. You will be able to resume vaping once the device has cooled down.

How Does The Lost Vape Thelema Elite S Perform?

Included in the box is a 0.6ohm E Plus Cartridge, and the Lost Vape Thelema Elite S is capable of outputting up to 40W from a fully charged battery.

This is dependent on the resistance of the coil inside the pod, and the power output will steadily decrease inline with the remaining battery level.

Although you can’t finely adjust the wattage, you do have both Eco and Power output modes to choose from, which deliver different wattage levels to the pod depending on the overall resistance.

Eco Mode will deliver 13W of power to the 0.6ohm E Plus Cartridge, alternating between the two mesh coils inside the pod, and this is best suited for mouth to lung vaping with the airflow closed down so that only one airflow slot is exposed.

This delivers a smooth and light mouth to lung vape that I found perfect for high strength nicotine salt based e-liquids.

Boost Mode increases this to 25W with the 0.6ohm E Plus Cartridge and makes use of both mesh coils simultaneously.

Now as a primarily restricted lung vaper, this was definitely my preferred way to vape. I actually found this to be a bit intense for a mouth to lung vape, but perfect for a restricted lung one.

The flavour was absolutely marvellous, rich and full of the flavour notes from my e-liquids. It’s quite a warm vape too, which is actually just how I like it.

Now, I do feel like Lost Vape are selling themselves a bit short by marketing the Thelema Elite S as a MTL only pod kit.

I’ve found that this is easily capable of delivering a restricted lung hit in boost mode and with the airflow fully open, and that is just with the included 0.6ohm pod. I’m sure the 0.3ohm and 0.45ohm pods that can be purchased separately will provide an even better restricted lung vape!

Speaking of which, the Thelema Elite S is fully compatible with the E Plus series of pods, giving you the ability to choose from 0.3ohm, 0.45ohm and 0.6ohm dual mesh pods and 0.3ohm, 0.6ohm and 0.8ohm single mesh ones.

Pod Lifespan

I’ve got no real complaints with the lifespan of the E Plus Cartridge, I got a week out of my included 0.6ohm E Plus Cartridge and as it is just coming into summer as I write this.

Where I tend to primarily vape tobacco based e-liquids, I was primarily vaping Red Vape Reserva Naturally Extracted Tobacco e-liquids which can be quite heavy on coils.

E Plus Cartridges work great with both freebase and nicotine salt e-liquids and have no issue wicking 50/50 and 60/40 VG/PG e-liquids. These also remain free of leaks as well, I didn’t even have issues with condensation building up!

Airflow

On the front of the Thelema Elite S is an airflow adjustment slider, which is actually quite a convenient place for it as I can easily adjust the airflow using my thumb on the fly.

As I’ve mentioned above, this is easily capable of providing a restricted direct lung vape when fully open, and you can tighten this right down to a tight mouth to lung if you prefer.

This is by no means a ‘cloud chasing’ device but it is capable of producing a pretty impressive amount of vapour with the airflow fully open!

Battery Life

Built into the Thelema Elite S is a 1400mAh battery which is more than capable of lasting me a full day. In fact, there have been times where I have checked the battery level in late afternoon and it is still showing four bars!

This is definitely a pod kit that I can charge up and take out with me and not have to worry about whether the battery is going to last me until I get home.

Pros

• Very well priced
• Small form factor
• Beginner friendly
• Flavourful vape
• Compatible with full E Plus Cartridge series
• Mouth to lung and restricted lung vaping options
• All day battery life

Cons

• Need to remove the pod to check the e-liquid level and to fill it up.
• No adjustable wattage
• Pod connection is a little loose and rattly

Final Verdict

Lost Vape devices have never failed to let me down over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing and owning quite a few, and the Thelema Elite S pod kit is the latest one to continue this trend.

It is just absolutely solid in all areas, from the build quality right through to the performance and ease of use. It is something that anyone can pick up and use out of the box, and it looks the part too!

Also, another impressive feature is the long battery life you get from a fully charged battery, for a device this small it definitely punches above its weight. No battery anxiety to be had here!

Now, one aspect that astounded me was the price. I didn’t actually look at how much this device was available for in the UK before I started to type up my review, I just assumed it would be in the £15-20 ballpark.

After having a quick Google, I’ve found it on sale for around £11.99. That is an absolute steal for a superb little pod system such as this one.

Honestly, for that money, you can’t really get much better than this!

The post Lost Vape Thelema Elite S Pod Vape Review: Elite by Name, Elite by Nature? appeared first on Ecigclick.

Lost Vape were founded in 2014. They made a name for themselves with some quality products like the Lost Vape Orion Mini, Lost Vape Centaurus B60 & B80, Lost Vape Ursa Mini, Lost Vape Ursa Nano and the Lost Vape Movement 18K disposable vapes.

They also recently celebrated their 10th anniversary by releasing two special edition pod systems, the Ursa Nano S II and the Ursa Nano 3.

Is the Thelema Nano going to continue Lost Vape’s excellent track record with pod systems? Read on to find out more…

What Can We Expect From The Lost Vape Thelema Nano?

Lost Vape are touting the Thelema Nano as the world’s first ‘sub-ohm dual mesh’ pod kit. Featuring a dual mesh layered coil pod with “E-Core Tech 3.0” providing a rich, multi-layered flavour experience!

There’s a 5-layer anti-leak design, with Bloom Multi-Layered flavours for smooth, satisfying vapour and a perfect throat hit. E-Core Tech 3.0 enhances the sweetness, coolness and complexity of your e-liquid flavours whilst ensuring a consistent vape at the same time.

Eco and Boost modes are featured on this device too, to cater to different vaping styles. Plus you can further tailor the vape to your preferences with the ability to adjust the airflow and the wattage from 5-45W. That’s a lot of power in a pod system!

For that level of power, you’ll need a decent battery to back it up. The Lost Vape Thelema Nano packs in a 1500mAh battery that is rechargeable via USB-C, whilst still retaining a lightweight and vibrant design.

Pod compatibility with the E Plus series of Lost Vape cartridges caters to Mouth To Lung (MTL), Restricted Direct Lung (RDL) and Direct To Lung (DTL) airflow.

• E Plus Dual Mesh Cartridges: There are 0.3ohm, 0.45ohm (coming soon) and 0.6ohm resistances available.
• E Plus Cartridges: 0.3ohm, O.6ohm and 0.8ohm.

We tell you what these terms mean in our Guide To Vape Styles.

The Thelema Nano also offers the option of auto-draw or a button to fire your device.

You can choose from 9 colours: Mystic Aurora, Pastel Sky, Midnight Black, Lake Blue, Champaign Gold, Silver Blue, Spring Green, Lavender Violet and Sakura Pink.

Many thanks to Lost Vape for sending the Thelema Nano in for review, let’s see how it stacks up! As always, all views are my own…

Design & Build Quality

One aspect that immediately surprised me when I took the Lost Vape Thelema Nano out of the box was the size of the device. It was a lot smaller than I was expecting it to be! The picture of the device on the box made me think that it was going to be a lot larger than it was!

That is actually a good thing, as I do like a small form factor pod system. This one measures 30.2mm x 25.6mm x 104mm and weighs only 76g too. Making the Thelema Nano a lightweight and stealthy carry.

With the maximum 45W power output and the 1500mAh built in battery, that is a lot of power packed into such a small pod system!

It is manufactured from Zinc Alloy and Polycarbonate, with a Leather finish on the rear. The build quality feels pretty robust and has an attractive, futuristic design to it.

The front of the Thelema Nano features a power button and + – adjustment buttons.

A 0.96″ TFT colour screen displays the battery charge, selected output mode, power output, puff counter and coil resistance.

Lost Vape E Plus cartridges connect magnetically to the Thelema Nano device, with a solid connection. However there is a bit of wobble present if you grip the pod and give it a wiggle.

Quick Start Guide

How To Fill The Pod

First things first, you’ll need to fill up your Lost Vape E Plus Dual Mesh pod!

If you are filling up a brand new E Plus Dual Mesh pod for the first time, let the e-liquid sit in the pod for five minutes before vaping, to allow the cotton in the coil to fully absorb the e-liquid. This will reduce the chances of burnt or dry hits occurring, and prolong the lifespan of your pod.

• Remove the pod from the device by pulling it against the magnetic connection of the pod.
• Locate the silicon filling port cover near the base of the pod and lift up this to expose the filling port.
• Insert your e-liquid bottle nozzle and fill the pod all the way up, before replacing the silicon filling port cover.
• Replace the pod in the device.

Operation

To turn the Thelema Nano on and off, press the power button five times within two seconds. The + and – buttons on the front of the device will adjust the output power in 1W increments.

Modes

Adjusting between Eco and Boost mode can be done quickly by pressing the power button twice in two seconds.

In Eco mode there is only one coil in use at a time, this means a higher coil resistance and lower power output. The device battery and coil life will be significantly improved in this mode. But flavour and throat hit may be compromised.

In Boost mode both coils operate together to give a lower resistance and higher power output. Ideal if you like stronger flavour, clouds or throat hit.

Menu

A simple menu system is present, which can be accessed by quick pressing the power button three times.

The + and – buttons allow you to scroll through the different options and the power button confirms your selection. Menu options are:

• Puff: clears the puff counter
• Buttons lock: locks the power, + and – buttons but vaping via auto-draw is still available
• Version: displays the current software version
• Exit: takes you back out of the menu

Charging

The USB-C charging port is located on the front of the device, underneath the screen, and features a handy dust cover to prevent lint being trapped in the charging port.

Stated charging rate is 5V/1.4A and gave me a full charge in around 40 minutes, which wasn’t too shabby for a 1500mAh battery capacity!

Safety Features

Built into the Thelema Nano are Check Atomiser, Short Circuit, Low Battery, Overheating and Vaping Overtime protections for safety.

How Does The Lost Vape Thelema Nano Perform?

You get 0.3ohm and 0.6ohm E Plus Dual Mesh pods included in the kit. So the Thelema Nano can cater to mouth to lung, restricted direct lung and direct lung vapers right out of the box. A 0.45ohm pod is scheduled for release soon.

I did notice that when using the auto-draw firing mode (which is my preference on a pod system) the output could cut in and out occasionally resulting in an inconsistent vape. This could be down to the pods not having a particularly solid connection.

I received two Thelema Nano devices for review and this would happen on both of them. Which meant I defaulted to using the power button to ensure that there was a consistent firing output!

Eco & Boost Modes

The Eco and Boost modes aren’t just a gimmick, they can also affect the vape that you get from your Thelema Nano device and provide different experiences.

With Eco mode, the dual mesh coils work in turn, providing a slightly more subtle vape that is best suited to a mouth to lung preference. This also means that the battery lifespan is increased over boost mode.

Boost mode makes both the mesh coils fire up at the same time, to provide a richer and fuller vape. The strength of the vape benefits from extra airflow meaning that this mode is best suited to restricted direct to lung or direct lung vaping.

0.3ohm E Plus Dual Mesh Pod

This is the pod that is best suited for restricted direct lung and direct to lung vaping. It can take full advantage of the maximum 45W output power that is available on the Thelema Nano.

Boost mode is a perfect match for this pod, making for a robust and rich warm vape that is full of flavour and has plenty of dense vapour production to boot!

0.6ohm E Plus Dual Mesh Pod

This pod is the one that comes installed on the Thelema Nano (well it did on the two that I received anyway!) and I felt that this pod was best suited for restricted direct lung and mouth to lung vaping.

I also felt, that between Eco and Boost modes, Eco mode suited this pod a little better. It worked best for me with slow draws in the 25-30W output power range, providing a smoother vape that is still packed with tasty flavour.

Pod Lifespan

Both pods are well suited to both freebase and nicotine salt e-liquids and have no problems wicking 50/50 and 60/40 VG/PG e-liquids. These have been consistently leak free too. I have only needed to occasionally wipe away a small amount of condensation whilst using the Thelema Nano.

I got a week’s worth of lifespan out of both pods here, which is right in line with what I would expect from a pod system.

Airflow

An airflow slider is located on the side of the Thelema Nano, which features very smooth travel and is easy to operate using my thumb.

Airflow options range from a tight mouth to lung hit right through to an unrestricted direct lung hit, ensuring that all styles of vaping are catered to.

The Thelema Nano is no slouch when it comes to vapour production too! This little kit is capable of punching well above its weight and kicking out some impressive, dense clouds with the airflow opened up!

Battery Life

With the Thelema Nano, a 1500mAh battery is built into the device, which I have found to be easily enough to get me through a full day’s worth of use even when running the 0.3ohm E Plus pod at maximum settings. No complaints at all from me there!

Pros

• Small form factor
• Powerful device, outputs up to 45W
• Mouth to lung and restricted direct lung vaping
• Adjustable airflow and wattage
• Good battery lifespan
• Rich, flavourful vape

Cons

• Inconsistent firing with auto-draw
• Pods wobble around which can cause connection issues
• Limited menu options
• Need to remove the pod to fill and check the e-liquid level

Final Verdict

I’ve reviewed and owned a fair few Lost Vape devices in the years that I’ve spent vaping and I’ve always found them to offer a consistently great vape in a smart looking package.

The Thelema Nano is another Lost Vape device that ticks all the right boxes. A solidly built, attractive looking pod system that offers an enjoyable and flavoursome vape.

Plenty of power is packed into this little device too, outputting up to 45W. That is a huge amount for a device this small, yet it will still keep you vaping throughout the day with the built in 1500mAh battery.

If you are in the market for a small form factor powerful pod system then the Lost Vape Thelema Nano will definitely be worth considering once it releases shortly!

Many thanks to Lost Vape for sending the Thelema Nano in for review!

What are your thoughts on the Lost Vape Thelema Nano, is this a pod system you’ll be picking up on release? Let us know in the comments section below!

The post Lost Vape Thelema Nano Review appeared first on Ecigclick.

We’ve had both of these sent over thanks to Lost Vape and in this review we will focus on the Ursa Nano S II. You can read the Ursa Nano 3 review here.

These two pod devices are new inclusions in Lost Vape’s Ursa range. We’ve reviewed many of the range, including the Ursa Mini and the Ursa Nano.

Lost Vape have built up an excellent track record since they were founded in 2014. They have given us some real top quality products such as the Lost Vape Orion Mini, Lost Vape Centaurus B60 & B80 and the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K disposable vapes.

What Can We Expect From The Lost Vape Ursa Nano S II Pod Kit?

Lost Vape look to deliver superior elegance with the Ursa Nano S II, with the finish on these featuring fine Leather and exquisite patterns!

Powering the Ursa Nano S II is the Quest 2.0 chip. This smartly regulates power output depending on the resistance of the coil inside the pod. You can indulge in richer and more satisfying flavour with the maximum 30W power output.

Much like the Ursa Nano 3, the Ursa Nano S II is compatible with the Ursa Cartridge V2 series of pods. They are optimised to deliver superior flavour and promise over 30ml worth of refills. You can get these pods in resistances of 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2ohm, catering to all types of vaping styles.

You are also able to switch between Mouth To Lung (MTL) and Restricted Direct Lung (RDL) vaping thanks to the adjustable airflow slider. It allows you to seamlessly fine tune your airflow using only your thumb. We tell you more about MTL and DTL in our Guide To Vaping Styles.

A 1000mAh rechargeable battery eases any anxieties around battery life, with an intuitive LED indicator allowing you to check battery status at a glance.

There’s 9 different finishes to pick from in total. Alongside the two that I received (Grey Neverfall and Espresso) you can also find Black Thorns, Blue Thorns, Brown Thorns, Lavender, Mint, Pink Dauphine and Sky Delightful kits.

Many thanks to Lost Vape for sending in the Ursa Nano S II for review, let’s see what this kit offers! As always, all views are my own…

Kit Contents

I received the 10th Anniversary version of the kit which has some extra goodies such as a Lanyard and sticker.

Design & Build Quality

I had been testing out the Lost Vape Ursa Nano 3 prior to using the Ursa Nano S II and the Ursa Nano S II boasts a smaller form factor. The dimensions of 107.8mm x 15.4mm x 24.4mm mean it is considerably lighter too, weighing only 40g.

I can definitely feel the difference in the hand and I hardly notice this device when it is in my pocket!

Lost Vape have crafted the Ursa Nano S II from Polycarbonate and Leather. The Polycarbonate shell feels a little cheap to me, especially when compared with the Zinc Alloy on the Ursa Nano 3.

The embossed Leather finish is very pretty to look at and feels nice too.

I was sent the Grey Neverfall and Espresso versions for review. My preference being the Grey Neverfall version thanks to the embossed Lost Vape logos running along it! The Espresso version wasn’t as exciting to look at, just featuring a Brown Leather finish.

Feature-wise, on the front of the device is a prominent LED battery life indicator and on one side is the USB-C charging port.

Opposite to this is the airflow adjustment slider, which boasts some very smooth travel.

A magnetic connector attaches the Ursa Cartridge V2 pods in place. However I noticed that I could wiggle the pod around quite easily. I had one instance where the pod had actually wriggled loose in my pocket, so not the best connection there!

Quick Start Guide

Lost Vape have made the Ursa Nano S II dead easy to get to grips with and set up. Plus it also has an auto draw system so you just take a puff on the device to vape it.

You get a refillable 0.8ohm Ursa Cartridge V2 pod included with the kit and before you get vaping you’ll need to fill the pod first.

How To Fill The Pod

• Take your pod out of the device and look for the large silicone filling port cover located at the side. This has ‘open’ and a large arrow embossed on it so there is no mistaking it there!
• Pop the filling port cover open to one side and a good sized filling port will be revealed. Simply pop your bottle nozzle in there and fill up your pod.
• If you are filling a new pod for the first time, allow the e-liquid to stand in the pod for five minutes before you take a puff. This will allow the cotton in the coil to fully absorb the e-liquid.

Charging

On the front of the Ursa Nano S II is a large LED battery life indicator, allowing you to check the battery status at a glance. The meaning of each light displayed is as follows:

• Green light means there is 100-60% battery life remaining
• Yellow light means there is 60-30% battery life remaining
• Red light means 30-0% remains and it is time to charge!

On the side of the Ursa Nano S II is a USB Type-C charging port, you just need to plug a USB-C cable in here and connect it to a suitable power source. You don’t get a USB-C cable included in the box, so you will need to use one that you already own or purchase one separately.

Much like the Ursa Nano 3, the Ursa Nano S II charges at the rate of 5V/1A, which is definitely not the quickest compared to other pod systems I have tried out recently. Meaning that a full charge of the 1000mAh battery would take in the region of 45 minutes.

Safety Protections

Five different safety protections are built into the Lost Vape Ursa Nano S II, with low battery, open circuit, short circuit, vaping over-time and over charging protections.

How Does The Lost Vape Ursa Nano S II Perform?

You get the 0.8ohm Ursa Cartridge V2 pod included in the box. You can also purchase 1.0ohm and 1.2ohm versions better suited to tighter mouth to lung draws if that is your preference, or if you want a bit more power then a 0.6ohm one is available!

Output power is regulated by the Quest 2.0 chip, which will determine the most suitable power output based on remaining battery life and the resistance of the coil inside the Ursa Cartridge V2 pod. This device is capable of outputting up to 30W, but for that you’ll need a fully charged battery and the 0.6ohm pod!

Airflow is adjustable via the slider on the side of the device, offering a restricted lung hit when fully opened up and a mouth to lung hit when the airflow has been closed down.

0.8ohm Ursa Cartridge V2

With this pod, you’ll be able to vape both restricted lung and mouth to lung. But during testing I found that it is best suited to vaping with the airflow closed down a little, as the flavour can be muted.

As long as the airflow isn’t wide open, this pod delivers an excellent, flavoursome vape that I found really satisfying. The undertones in the complex e-liquids that I was vaping were definitely pronounced and noticeable.

I’m happy to say that I didn’t get any leaks in the time that I have spent with this device, just a teeny tiny bit of condensation occasionally that just needed to be wiped away!

Longevity of the Ursa Cartridge V2 pod is a plus point too, Lost Vape rate these pods for over 30ml worth of refills. I found that I got over a week’s worth of use from the one included in the kit.

Battery Life

A 1000mAh battery is built into the Ursa Nano S II device. This easily powered me through a full day’s worth of vaping with the 0.8ohm Ursa Cartridge V2.

I tend to charge my devices at the end of each day so if it gets me through until then, I will happily give it the thumbs up!

Pros

• Excellent flavour from the 0.8ohm Ursa Cartridge V2
• Available for under £10!
• Restricted direct lung (RDL) and mouth to lung (MTL) vaping options
• Battery life lasts all day
• Premium looks
• Small form factor
• Replacement pods are widely available

Cons

• No manual wattage adjustment
• Not the quickest pod system to charge up
• Basic LED battery life indicator
• Flavour is quite muted with the airflow fully open
• Pod rattles around a bit in the device

Final Verdict

As I do with all devices that I review, I have a quick Google search to see what each device is retailing for online in the UK. I was pretty stunned to see that a lot of retailers have this on sale currently for £9.99.

Seriously, that is a bargain!

In my opinion, for that sort of money, this is one of the most attractive pod systems around. Whether you are looking for a backup device or a new daily driver.

The Lost Vape Ursa Nano S II is one of the best sub-£10 pod systems that I have tried, if not the best. Thanks to the combination of elegant looks, excellent flavour and the longevity of the Ursa Cartridge V2 pods.

If you are looking for a new pod system and are on a bit of a tight budget then you really cannot go wrong with the Lost Vape Ursa Nano S II!

A big thanks goes out to Lost Vape for sending the Ursa Nano S II over for review, this is available to purchase in the UK now!

The post Lost Vape Ursa Nano S II (S2) Review appeared first on Ecigclick.

Lost Vape generously sent both of these pod systems over for us to take a look at, and this review will focus on the Lost Vape Ursa Nano 3. Stay tuned for a future review on the Lost Vape Ursa Nano S II!

Over the ten years that they have been active, Lost Vape have distinguished themselves as one of the most recognisable brand names in the industry. Releasing quality products such as the Lost Vape Orion Mini, Lost Vape Centaurus B60 & B80 and the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K disposable vapes.

We’ve had a look at a couple of the Lost Vape Ursa pod kits in the past. For instance: the Ursa Mini and the Ursa Nano, so it will be good to see how the Ursa series has evolved in this review!

What Can We Expect From The Lost Vape Ursa Nano 3 Pod Kit?

With the Ursa Nano 3, Lost Vape have developed a pod system that blends superior craftsmanship, sleek looks and top-level performance. Plus offering it at an affordable price that won’t break the bank!

A range of distinctive and eye-catching designs are available, which are inspired by mainstream fashion to captivate with every glance. There’s a luxurious feel to the Ursa Nano 3 and a premium touch too.

Looks mean nothing without some decent performance to back them up…

The Ursa Nano 3 delivers a maximum power output of 30W to deliver a flawless vaping experience via the Ursa Cartridge V2 pods. Adjustable airflow allows you to vape either restricted direct to lung (RDL) or mouth to lung (MTL). We explain these terms in our Guide To Vape Styles.

Speaking of the Ursa Cartridge V2, these pods are optimised to deliver superior flavour and over 30ml worth of refills. You can get these pods in resistances of 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2ohm, catering to all types of vaping styles.

Packed into the Ursa Nano 3 is a 1200mAh rechargeable battery (30% increase on the Ursa Nano 2) which can deliver ultra-long vaping sessions.

An intuitive smart RGB indicator gives you instant clarity on battery status. And when it is time to recharge your battery, the USB Type-C fast charging port will have you vaping again in no time!

In total, there are 9 different finishes to pick from: Glacial Blue, Glacial Silver Glacial Black, Silk Blue, Silk Rose, Silk White, Twill Black, Twill Orange and Twill Violet versions.

Many thanks to Lost Vape for sending in the Ursa Nano 3 for review, let’s see what this has to offer!

As always, all views are my own…

Design & Build Quality

Measurements wise, the Lost Vape Ursa Nano 3 has dimensions of 113.5mm x 24mm x 14mm and weighs 60g. This pod system is robustly constructed from Zinc Alloy and has a nice feel to it in the hand, being comfortable to hold and operate.

I was sent the Glacial Blue and Glacial Silver versions for review and I’ve got to say that these are absolute stunners. There’s a real classy, crystal design accented with Silver around the edges, giving these a stand out, premium look.

An airflow slider can be found down the side to adjust the airflow.

As with most other pod systems, the Lost Vape Ursa Nano 3 uses a magnetic system to attach the pods, which are held firmly in place with no wiggle. This is compatible with the Ursa Cartridge V2 pod.

Quick Start Guide

The Ursa Nano 3 is about as easy as it gets when it comes to a refillable pod system! Pre-installed with the device is the 0.8ohm Ursa Cartridge V2 pod, you also get the 0.6ohm version in the kit too.

Whichever one you opt to use, you’ll need to fill it first!

How to Fill the Pod

On the side of the Ursa Cartridge V2 pod is a large silicon filling port cover, which is clearly embossed with ‘OPEN’, you can’t miss it!

Pop the filling port cover open to one side and a good sized filling port will be revealed, simply pop your bottle nozzle in there and fill up your pod.

If you are filling a new pod for the first time, allow the e-liquid to stand in the pod for five minutes before you take a puff. This allows the cotton in the coil to fully absorb the e-liquid.

Charging

You can check the battery status at a glance as a ‘Smart RGB Indicator’ is present near the base of the Ursa Nano 3. It is essentially just a light that indicates the current battery voltage level, rather than battery status displayed as a percentage. This is as follows:

• Green light means there is more than 3.9V remaining (full charge)
• Blue light means there is between 3.7 and 3.9V remaining
• Red is less than 3.7V (charge soon)

At the base of the Ursa Nano 3 is a USB Type-C charging port, simply plug a USB-C cable in here and connect it to a suitable power source. You don’t get a USB-C cable included in the box, so you will need to use one that you already own or purchase one separately.

The Ursa Nano 3 charges at the rate of 1A, which isn’t the quickest I have found. A full charge from empty would take around an hour.

Safety Protections

Five different safety protections are built into the Lost Vape Ursa Nano 3, with low battery, open circuit, short circuit, vaping over-time and over charging protections.

How Does The Lost Vape Ursa Nano 3 Perform?

Included with the kit are 0.6ohm and 0.8ohm Ursa Cartridge V2 pods. You can also purchase 1.0ohm and 1.2ohm versions better suited to tighter mouth to lung vapes if that is your preference.

Output power is automatically determined by the built in chip. This varies depending on the resistance of the coil that is being used and decreases slightly in line with the remaining battery life.

You can adjust the airflow too, opening it right up for a restricted lung airflow that produces some pretty decent levels of vapour, or you can close it right down to a tight mouth to lung hit.

0.6ohm Ursa Cartridge V2

The 0.8ohm pod is the one that is actually pre-installed on the device, but I figured I would swap it for the 0.6ohm one to start off as I have a preference for restricted direct lung vaping.

This pod is the one that you will want to use if you wish to take full advantage of the maximum output power of the Ursa Nano 3. With the airflow control set wide open, this can produce some impressive clouds for a little pod system!

I did feel that the flavour takes a significant hit though with the airflow fully open. I like my clouds, but I definitely prefer getting the maximum level of flavour from my e-liquids so I needed to close down the airflow to improve the flavour delivery.

With the airflow closed down slightly, the vape warms up a bit more and more of the undertones in my e-liquids become noticeable, making for a pretty flavoursome vape.

0.8ohm Ursa Cartridge V2

This pod straddles the line between restricted lung and mouth to lung vaping. I found that you can vape both when using the 0.8ohm Ursa Cartridge V2.

As long as the airflow is closed down to half or even less than that, this produces some intense flavour. It really sung with some of my favourite tobacco e-liquids that I was vaping at the time.

I wouldn’t recommend vaping this one with the airflow fully open as I found the flavour to be pretty muted!

Ursa Cartridge V2 Pod Summary

In all honesty my preference was the 0.8ohm Ursa Cartridge V2, which surprised me a bit as I have a preference for airier, restricted lung vaping!

The reason being was that I just felt that the flavour was more pronounced and a bit more intense with the slightly tighter draw on offer and this pod seemed to suit the capabilities of the device better.

I have been testing the Ursa Nano 3 out for a couple of weeks prior to writing up my thoughts. I’ve got really good longevity from both the 0.6ohm and 0.8ohm pods, with both of these lasting well over a week.

The pods were leak free too, barely even producing any condensation!

Battery Life

I had absolutely no complaints with the 1200mAh battery that is packed into the Ursa Nano 3. From a full charge I could easily get through a full day with this device, sometimes it would even last me into a second day!

This was with both the 0.6ohm and the 0.8ohm coil, so no issues with battery anxiety with this pod system!

Pros

• Premium looking pod system
• Available at an attractive price
• Restricted lung and mouth to lung vaping options
• Solid, all-day battery life
• Smooth flavour
• Replacement pods are widely available

Cons

• Wattage can’t be adjusted manually
• Quite slow to charge
• Only a basic battery life indicator
• Finish is prone to picking up fingerprints and small scratches

Final Verdict

I must say that I was in for a bit of a shock (in a good way!) when I had a quick Google and saw how much the Ursa Nano 3 is on sale for in the UK…

This is available for less than £15! With the craftsmanship of this device, I was certainly expecting it to cost £20+!

And that low price doesn’t mean that Lost Vape are skimping on performance! There’s some smooth and great tasting flavour delivered by the Ursa Cartridge V2 pods, which also last a fair while too.

So, right here you’ve got a pod system that absolutely looks the part and also delivers some solid performance for under £15! That earns the Lost Vape Ursa Nano 3 a solid thumbs up from me!

A big thanks goes out to Lost Vape for sending the Ursa Nano 3 over for review, this is available to purchase now!

The Centaurus range encompasses many devices – from Box Mods such as the Centaurus DNA250C, Quest BF kit, Quest Q200 and M100. Across to pod kits such as the Quest Q80 kit and even AIO’s with the B60 and B80 kits.

What To Expect From The Lost Vape Centaurus P200 Mod…

This is a box mod with a standard 510 connector on the top for use with the majority of vape tanks, RDA’s, RTA’s and RDTA’s on the market with the same connector.

The power source is 2 removable 18650 batteries – which are not included in the kit.

There is a USB Type C port which will charge at a 2.35A charge rate if you are not able to use an external battery charger.

The Quest 2.0 chipset controls the device functions including protections and output levels.

Talking of output it is specified as 5-200W / 6-8.4V.

In order to adjust the output you turn a manual dial with 5 different power levels on.

The fire button has a coloured LED indicator to inform of battery capacity remaining and any faults.

If you want to customise your mod or replace worn / damaged panels – this is simple as the side panels are removable.

Here is an introduction video from the Lost Vape YouTube channel.

There are 6 colours to choose from: Shadow Dynasty, Nebula Dynasty, Blue Thunder, Green Wonderland, Siren Swirl and Siren Echo.

Kit Includes

• Lost Vape Centaurus P200 mod
• USB Type C cable
• User manual

Lost Vape Centaurus P200 Mod Specs

• Size: 92.6×52.8x27mm
• Battery: 2x 18650 (not included)
• Display: LED indicator and Power Dial
• Output: 5-200W (5 selectable power levels) (6-8.4V)
• Type C USB charging – 2.35A charge rate
• Resistance range: Not specified
• 510 connection
• Replaceable side panels
• Quest 2.0 chipset

This looks like a Semi-Mechanical mod but really would fall into the Regulated category – we tell you more in our Guide to Regulation.

I am even quite tempted by this myself – the Nebula Dynasty version is speaking to my glittery side!

Anyway let me know your first impressions of the Lost Vape Centaurus P200 mod in the comments below!

The post Lost Vape Centaurus P200 Mod Preview – Functional Simplicity? appeared first on Ecigclick.

***Before I start this review, I need to make you aware that this product is not available in the UK or other TPD regulated countries. The Lost Vape Lightrise TB 18K range will only be available in non-TPD markets such as North America.***

Lost Vape have grown into a very popular vaping manufacturer over the years. They have diversified into pod systems such as the Lost Vape Orion Mini as well as AIO systems like the Lost Vape Centaurus B60 & B80.

They have their own Orion Bar range of disposables, we have previously reviewed a couple of these. The Orion Bar 10000 and OB5500 for example, as well as the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K range.

What Can We Expect From The Lost Vape Lightrise TB 18K Disposable Vapes?

Much like the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K range we previously reviewed, these are ‘big puff’ disposable vapes. They hold a massive 18ml worth of 50mg nicotine salt based e-liquid and can offer up to 18,000 puffs from each device!

You have an attractive ‘one-touch’ colour screen. This enables you to check the battery and e-liquid levels, as well as the ability to switch between three different power outputs simply by tapping the touch button.

Power output modes are Regular (3V), Boost (3.2V) and Turbo (3.4V) – the output increases will give stronger flavour and vapour. Each mode respectively offering in the region of 18,000/12,000/6,000 puffs depending on which one you prefer.

Cranking one of these up to Turbo mode is designed to give you maximum throat hit and big clouds of vapour!

These also pack a 700mAh rechargeable battery, with USB-C charging supported.

Airflow can be adjusted using the slider offering Mouth To Lung (MTL) and Restricted Direct to Lung (RDL) vaping options. We tell you what these terms mean in our Guide To Vape Styles.

15 different fruity flavours are available in the Lost Vape Lightrise TB 18K disposable vape range and we’ve been kindly sent a selection of six of these to try out.

No flavour descriptions were available on the manufacturer’s website so you will just have to take my word for it!

As with any e-liquid flavour, your experiences may differ and as always, all views are my own.

Many thanks to Lost Vape for sending in the Lightrise TB 18K disposable vapes for review!

Lost Vape Lightrise TB 18K Specifications

• Up to 18,000 puffs
• Pre-filled with 18ml of e-liquid
• 50mg nicotine salt strength
• Draw activated
• 3V Regular, 3.2V Boost and 3.4V Turbo power output modes
• Adjustable airflow
• Mouth to Lung and Restricted Direct to Lung vaping options
• Full colour screen with touch button
• 15 different flavours
• 700mAh rechargeable battery
• USB-C charging

Design and Build Quality

First impressions are that these are some really smart looking little disposable vapes. Definitely a clear distinction between these and your everyday throwaway disposable vape bars!

These have a plastic construction but come in a range of shiny, attractive metallic finishes. Each finish differing depending on which one of the 15 flavours you opt to pick up.

A feature that really makes these stand apart from other disposables on the market is the large touch screen. It is even bigger than the one found on the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K range! This screen spans the whole side of the device near enough!

Information such as the current power setting as well as the battery and e-liquid level can be found here and with some colour too! There’s a fingerprint shaped touch button at the top which is used to switch between the three available power output settings.

At the base of the device is the airflow adjustment slider as well as the USB-C charging port.

Quick Start Guide

These are good to go right out of the box. They feature an auto draw system so you simply remove the stickers and the silicone plug in the mouthpiece and you can puff away!

Four out of the six I received for review had 99% battery already when I took them out and were set to the Boost (3.2V, setting 2 on the screen) power setting. The other two had 88% and 90% battery respectively, meaning none of them needed an initial charge.

So a great option if you are in a bind and need to pick up a vape quickly whilst out and about!

Power Output Adjustment / Lock

Power output is changed by tapping the touch button and this will switch between the 1,2 and 3 icons. Setting 1 is the regular 3V power output mode, setting 2 is 3.2V boost mode and setting 3 is the 3.4V turbo mode.

Once you have selected your preferred power output, you can lock this in by holding the touch button down for two seconds.

From experience, it is quite easy to unlock this accidentally and end up inadvertently changing the power setting, depending on how you hold the device!

Airflow Adjustment

Invert the Lost Vape Lightrise TB 18K and you’ll find the airflow adjustment slider.

Close this down for a Mouth to Lung vape, similar to what you would get from a cigarette, open it up for a Restricted Direct to Lung vape if you want some big clouds of vapour!

Charging

At the base of the device you’ll also find the USB-C charging port. You simply need to grab a USB-C charging cable and plug this into the base of the device and power outlet to give it a charge.

You’ll want to do this when the battery level display starts flashing at around 10% remaining. This means it is imminently about to run out! Once it reads ‘99’, this means it has fully charged.

How Does The Lost Vape Lightrise TH 18K Perform?

First I will sample all of the flavours and then I will delve into the device performance.

Peach Lemonade

Well this is a bit of a different Peach flavour compared to what I have been used to!

I get more of a floral note to this, rather than a thick and juicy Peach, which I must say took a little bit of getting used to at first. This gave it more of a Lychee taste in my opinion. It’s not all that bad, I just wasn’t expecting it!

The Lemonade note is a particular highlight here. I get a really crisp and citrusy Lemonade tang to the vape, followed up by a cooling effect to give that experience of a nice chilled drink.

Blueberry Raspberry

I’m greeted with an overwhelming sweet and fruity scent when I first take this one out of the packaging, there’s no mistaking what I’m in for here!

And as expected this is a very sweet Blueberry and Raspberry combination. So sweet that it gets my mouth watering whilst I’m vaping on it.

Blueberry was the most dominant flavour for me, a real thick and authentic tasting Blueberry flavour at the start. Then an undertone of Raspberry comes in and contrasts really well. Good job on the mixing here!

Blue Cotton Candy

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any sweeter after vaping on the Blueberry Raspberry, in comes Blue Cotton Candy with its overwhelming cloud of sweetness!

There’s a hint of Blue Raspberry on the inhale and then this gets completely overwhelmed by the fluffy Cotton Candy (Candy Floss) flavouring. This is so sweet it is like picking up a stick of the real thing from the fairground!

If you have a sweet tooth, look no further than this vape, it definitely won’t let you down on that front!

Hawaii Rainbow

This is the Lightrise take on an exotic flavour combination, after all no self-respecting disposable range would be complete without one!

I get Mango, Pineapple…and a little something else in the background that I can’t put my finger on to be honest!

I’ve played around with the wattage settings and I still can’t quite nail what it is yet.

All in all it’s quite a tasty, summery, sweet exotic little vape.

Duo Black Ice

Ok so this one I REALLY did enjoy!

Due to the name, I did fear that this would be some nasty Aniseed ice combo for some reason. Flashbacks of nights out in my early twenties flashed before my eyes and I approached this one with a slight bit of trepidation…

But fear not, my fears were instantly allayed. This is a delicious Blackcurrant Menthol combo, featuring a realistic tasting Blackcurrant and a refreshing menthol breeze coming in at the end. I couldn’t help blasting away on this one!

My pick of the six I got to review! Very tasty indeed…

Sour Apple Ice

I also reviewed a Sour Apple Ice when looking at the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K disposable vape range, so I was expecting much of the same here.

And to be honest it isn’t all that different to the Movement LV 18K version. It has the same tart Green Apple flavour, albeit with less of a sour note to it and a slightly stronger koolada providing a cooling effect at the end.

Performance

Much like the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K range, you’ve got an advantage over your everyday disposable vape as there are features you can adjust here to customise your vape.

Firstly, again you have three different power settings to utilise.

Power Setting

This time around, I felt like I needed to crank the Lightrise TB 18K disposables up to the 3.4V maximum output to get the nicotine hit I required, as well as the best of the flavours.

This also came at a detriment to the battery life, as the 700mAh battery would struggle to see me through a whole day and I would get less puffs out of it.

Puff Count

Speaking of puffs, running this at the maximum 3.4V output setting gave me a total of 4,255 puffs on the Duo Black Ice version before it reached the end of its life. Which was a little short of the reported 6,000 puff claim from Lost Vape.

As with any disposable, how long you take a draw for and how often you puff on it can affect what you get out of it. Plus here the power settings can affect this too. So keep that in mind.

Airflow Setting

Adjusting the airflow gives you the option of vaping either mouth to lung or restricted direct to lung.

I have to confirm that running this at the maximum power output setting with the airflow setting wide open does indeed give you some pretty impressive vapour production!

It also hits hard enough at the maximum setting too, giving a pleasurable nicotine hit and more intense flavour.

Pros

• Great looking little disposable
• Large touch screen is excellent
• Massive 18ml worth of e-liquid
• Offers both mouth to lung and restricted direct to lung vaping options
• Can activate the screen simply by tapping on it
• Adjustable airflow
• Easy to change power output simply by tapping touch button
• Large range of different flavours to choose from
• Pocket friendly device

Cons

• Easy to accidentally change the power setting if you forget to lock it in as touch button quite sensitive
• Weaker vape than the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K range
• No ability to fine tune power output
• Large waste footprint
• Only holds appeal to fans of fruity flavours, very fruit heavy range

Final Verdict

Lost Vape offer a range of great looking disposable vapes with the Lightrise TB 18K range. The large touch screen especially being a stand out feature here! And the flavours are pretty good too.

I must say, that when comparing these against the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K, I did prefer the Movement disposables. They seemed to have a bit more ‘oomph’ to them and I got more battery life out of those too.

These are a great option though if you are looking for a 50mg nicotine salt based disposable, but don’t want the in-your-face power that the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K range offers!

What Can We Expect From The Lost Vape Movement LV 18K?

18K in the name comes from how many puffs Lost Vape say you can get out of these! As well as the massive 18ml worth of pre-filled e-liquid you get!

Three separate power modes are available and these will affect how many puffs you will get out of it.

The 16W regular mode will get you up to a whopping 18,000 puffs, 18W boost mode will get up to 12,000 puffs and the 20W turbo mode function will get around 6,000 puffs.

A smart full touch screen is featured on each of the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K disposables and this is a colour screen too! Displaying information such as how much e-liquid is left and your current power setting. You’ll be able to adjust the power setting simply by touching the screen!

There’s appeal to both mouth to lung (MTL) and restricted direct to lung (RDL) vapers, as an adjustable airflow slider offers both options. We tell you what the terms MTL and RDL mean in our Guide To Vape Styles!

Dual mesh coils are built in as well as an 800mAh battery that is rechargeable via USB type C.

Finally, you can choose from a wide range of 15 different flavours and these are formulated with nicotine salt e-liquid at a strength of 50mg.

As you can see this range features quite a few more features than your average disposable! So in this review I will be covering the functionality and performance as well as providing my thoughts on the flavours that I got to try.

No flavour descriptions were available on the manufacturer’s website so you will just have to take my word for it! As with any e-liquid flavour, your experiences may differ.

Thanks go to Lost Vape for sending in six of the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K disposable kit range to review! As always, my views are my own.

Design & Build Quality

My first impressions when taking it out of the box was that this seemed more like a fully fledged mod, rather than a disposable vape!

A product like this does show off how innovative a disposable vape can be, when you compare it to a throwaway disposable bar.

Construction wise these are manufactured from plastic. Not that you could tell with the gleaming metallic finish on each of these devices. They really do stand out and look like a high end product.

The standalone feature has got to be the smart full touch screen. This absolutely glows when you take a puff on the device and displays information such as the selected power setting, battery life and remaining e-liquid level.

The only downsides I found with this is that sometimes this can be a little unresponsive to touch and you have to take a puff to activate it.

Below the screen is the USB-C charging port and an adjustable airflow slider which is extremely smooth in use.

At the top is the fixed mouthpiece, which features a pretty large bore and two individual channels inside it which I’m assuming line up with the dual coils!

Quick Start Guide

An auto-draw system is found on the Lost Vape Movement LV 18K disposables, so you can simply whip one straight out of the box, remove the silicon plug from the mouthpiece and puff away on it!

Out of the box these seem to be set to the 18W power setting and have around 95% battery charge.

Adjusting the power is done by taking a draw to activate the screen, then holding your finger down on the screen for two seconds until the lock icon disappears. Keep pressing the screen to switch between the different 16W, 18W and 20W power output modes, then leave it for three seconds or take a puff to lock the setting in.

Airflow is adjusted by using the slider found underneath the screen. Push up on it to close the airflow down to a tight mouth to lung draw and push down on it to open the airflow right up for an airy restricted direct lung hit.

To charge the battery, simply plug a USB-C cable into the charging port underneath the screen, then connect that to a suitable power output. You don’t get a USB-C cable included in the box so you will need to use one of your own.

How Does The Lost Vape Movement LV 18K Perform?

Firstly I will cover the different flavours and then move onto the device performance.

Bahama Mama

So I went into this for some reason expected to be greeted by some Banana based combination, but I couldn’t have been more wrong here!

There’s a creamy, exotic taste to Bahama Mama that evokes vibes of a Pina Colada, with a creamy aftertaste to it. I get a strong taste of Pineapple and citrus too and this tastes like a real summery vape to me!

Frozen Raspberry Lemonade

I get a very tart Raspberry flavour at first, with a nice zesty Lemonade and a cooling sensation right at the end. The flavours only getting zestier and punchier as I move through the different power settings. That being said, the cooling sensation felt a little subtle at 16W and 18W.

To get the full ‘chilled’ after effect, I’ve found that adjusting the power setting to 20W will certainly do the trick…definitely goes well with the 50mg nicotine salt hit too!

Strawberry Ice Cream

Without a doubt this is the best Strawberry Ice Cream flavoured disposable that I have ever tried. Lost Vape have just got the mix absolutely spot on with this.

This evokes the tastes of smooth, creamy Strawberry Ice Cream and the flavour profile is absolutely perfect. There’s even an icy, cooling sensation to it as well to really nail the mouth feel of a scoop of Strawberry Ice Cream.

A truly phenomenal and authentic tasting vape!

Cherry Lemon

I can’t help feeling that they went just a touch too overboard with the Lemon flavouring with this one.

The Lemon flavour note is far and away the most distinguishable flavour and I felt that the Cherry got a little lost in the mix. It was a subtle taste at the start for me before the strong Lemon flavour washes in and overpowers it.

I would have preferred a more balanced mix here, but still a tasty vape!

Pink Burst

With no flavour description to go off, I was expecting a Pink Lemonade flavour…and again I was wrong. Very wrong indeed!

Pink Burst features Bubblegum flavour and a very sweet Bubblegum flavour at that, rounded off with a subtle icy finish. The sweetness dial has been turned right up with this one, which will definitely please fans of very sweet candied flavours!

Sour Apple Ice

A phenomenal Sour Apple vape!

I get a tart Green Apple flavour rounded off with a sour effect and a nice, cooling undertone. It is reminiscent of a Sour Apple candied sweet, but with some koolada balancing with the sour effect really nicely.

This one ran Strawberry Ice Cream very close for my pick of the bunch here!

Performance

Rather than your average throwaway disposable vape bar, there’s a few features to play around with so that you can customise your vape.

Three power settings are available, with 16W, 18W and 20W. I found that 16W was just enough for me, providing me with plenty of battery life to see me through the day and the flavour was still very good. This still hits pretty hard at 16W with 50mg nicotine salt e-liquid!

18W and 20W were just a bit too much for me. I’m used to vaping 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid and I couldn’t have more than a couple of puffs at a time at these settings. Flavour wise, I’ve found that there’s only a very slight increase in flavour intensity when upping the wattage, which didn’t seem worth it to me.

You can vape both mouth to lung and restricted direct to lung with one of these quite happily. With the airflow set wide open, this does offer a pretty airy restricted direct lung hit and plenty of vapour production.

You can dial the airflow right down to a cheek sucking tight mouth to lung draw if you so wish, but even 16W seems a little bit too strong at this point.

I can have no complaints about the battery life! At 16W I can get a whole day out of one of these disposables before I need to pop it on for a charge. Plus these charge back up pretty quickly via USB-C.

The 50mg nicotine salt strength does help here, as I definitely don’t puff away as often as I normally would with my 20mg nicotine salt based e-liquids!

In terms of how many puffs you get, this is variable depending on whether you use the 16W, 18W or 20W setting, or a combination of all three. Obviously 18,000 puffs is an awful lot so there was no way I was going to be making a tally and it would take me about two weeks to get through a single one of these!

To put the 18,000 puff claim to the test, I kept the Bahama Mama one set at 16W whilst using it, tallied each time I took a puff, waited for the first bar on the e-liquid level to blink out (there’s five in total), then multiplied it by five.

I counted 3,545 puffs before the first light blinked out, which when multiplied by five, gives me 17,725 puffs. That is very close to the 18,000 puff claim from Lost Vape!

Pros

• Fantastic flavours
• 18ml worth of e-liquid
• Touch screen is a joy to look at
• Great looking devices
• Mouth to lung and restricted direct to lung vaping options
• All day battery life
• Quick to recharge

Cons

• 20W is very powerful, only for the hardiest nicotine addicts!
• Touch screen isn’t always responsive to touch
• Large waste footprint
• Have to take a puff to activate the screen
• Three wattage presets, no ability to fine tune the wattage.

Final Verdict

Not only do these disposables pack a big 50mg nicotine salt punch, they feature some great flavours too. The Strawberry Ice Cream one is a particular highlight and one of the best disposable flavours that I have tried!

Also, flavour-wise, these are packing plenty of flavour! They aren’t in the least bit subtle or under-flavoured and really saturate my tastebuds in flavour!

I’ve also got to say these are probably the best looking disposable vapes that I have had my hands on. These actually look and feel like a premium mod, with the smart touch screen really adding to this.

Yes this very much reminds me of the Voopoo Doric Galaxy and the Joyetech eRoll Slim. There must be a new trend for this style of kit – probably to capture those transitioning from Disposable Vapes ahead of the UK ban.

More Details On The Lost Vape Thelema Nexus…

This kit includes a very small vape device and a portable charging case to carry around.

Firstly looking at the vape pen device itself – it has a 400mAh battery. This is quite a small capacity but you can always pop it into the power bank (charging case) for a quick top up or use the USB type C port.

At the base of the pen is the LED indicator ring light which will display the battery charge remaining.

To keep life simple the pen has an automatic inhale triggered firing (auto draw). Also the replaceable pods have fixed coils which mean no more messy coil changes. Simply discard the pod when the flavour has deteriorated.

The pod will hold up to 2ml of your own e-liquid and a side refill port is provided.

There are 2 types of mouthpiece (drip tip) you get both included in the kit. The first is a Black plastic style – which is most commonly found in vape kits. If you are trying to quit smoking you might enjoy the cigarette filter style drip tips – you get 5 of these included in the kit!

Looking now at the power bank, this has a 2000mAh battery which is charged using a USB Type C cable.

The vape pen magnetically connects to the power bank and it promises to charge the pen around 5 times per power bank charge.

An LED indicator on the power bank displays the battery charge remaining.

Here is an introduction video from the Lost Vape YouTube channel.

There are 6 colours to choose from: Black Carbon, Silver Carbon, Silver Blue, Gunmetal Brown, Twill Violet and Twill Black.

Kit Includes

• Lost Vape Thelema Nexus power bank
• Thelema Nexus vape pen
• 2x 0.8ohm Nexus pods
• 2x Plastic drip tip
• 5x Filter drip tip
• USB Type C cable
• User manual

Lost Vape Thelema Nexus Specs

• Size: 16x112mm (vape pen) / 16×53.5mm (Cartridge) / 30.5×23.5x103mm (power bank)

• Display: 360° indicator LED (Pen) / LED indicator (power bank)

This style of kit seems to be back in trend, no doubt ideal for new vapers or those transitioning from disposables.

The cigarette filter style drip tips may be very beneficial for those quitting smoking!

The Ursa range have included advanced pod kits such as the Ursa Pod Mod and Ursa Mini through to simple to use starter kits such as the Ursa Baby, Ursa Nano S and Ursa Nano 2.

More Details On The Lost Vape Ursa Nano Pro 2…

The Ursa Nano Pro 2 sits somewhere in-between an advanced pod kit and simple starter kit.

It has the format of a simple starter kit using a bar shaped mod (or battery section) and a refillable pod (or tank section). However it is equipped with features above what a normal starter kit would provide.

Firstly inside the mod is a 1000mAh battery which you charge at a 1A rate using the USB Type C port.

You can adjust the output (variable wattage) from 5 to 30W according to the pod installed. The popular Lost Vape Quest chipset in its 2.0 configuration takes care of this and provides the fault protections.

A 0.42 inch screen is provided to view all of your vaping data and the multi-function button below has an LED indicator too.

At the side is an airflow adjustment slider to tailor the incoming air to suit your vaping style.

All this adjustment is very handy when you consider the wide range of compatible pods!

In the kit you will get the 0.6ohm and 0.8ohm fixed coil V2 pods. When the coil performance has deteriorated you simply discard the whole pod and replace with a new one. Ideal for those who dislike messy coil changes. Plus this is compatible with the V1 fixed coil pods.

You can also purchase different resistance pods to suit your e-liquid and vaping style – 1ohm, 1.2ohm and 1.4ohm are available.

As this device is also compatible with previous Ursa Nano pods you also have the option of using removable coils via the Ursa Cartridge. The UB Mini coils come in 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm, 1ohm, 1.2ohm and 1.4ohm versions and just replacing the coil means less waste. These are widely compatible with other Ursa kits.

Here is an introduction video from the Lost Vape YouTube Channel.

There are 9 colours to choose from: Sakura Pink, Ocean Blue, Storm Black, Purple Mecha, Gold Mecha, Black Mecha, Iceberg Blue, Classic Brown and Classic Black.

Kit Includes

• Lost Vape Ursa Nano Pro 2 device
• 0.6ohm Ursa Pod Cartridge V2
• 0.8ohm Ursa Pod Cartridge V2
• O-ring
• Lanyard
• USB Type C cable
• User manual

Lost Vape Ursa Nano Pro 2 Specs

• Size: 113x24x14.8mm
• Battery: 1000mAh (internal)
• Display: 0.42in OLED screen
• Output: 5-30W (Variable)
• Type C USB charging – 1A charge rate
• Resistance range: Not specified
• Capacity: 2.5ml (Standard) / 2ml (TPD)
• Pods: Ursa Cartridge and Ursa Cartridge V2
• Lost Vape Quest 2.0 chipset
• Adjustable airflow
• Side fill port

The biggest plus point of this kit is the compatibility. I love how you can choose from V1 and V2 fixed coil pods plus replaceable coil pods – whichever suits you!

What To Expect From The Lost Vape Centaurus M100 Kit

This is a single battery box mod which is available on its own or with the Centaurus Sub Coo Tank.

When it comes to operation this has a cute “3-in-1 jog dial interface”. Put simply there is a rotary adjustment button, with the fire button in the centre. Surrounding the fire button is an LED indicator which will show at a glance the battery capacity remaining.

Your data is displayed on the 0.96 inch colour TFT screen.

A manual switch button is provided to turn the mod on and off, this should help to prevent accidental activation!

The body is made from Aircraft grade Aluminium Alloy and you can replace the snap on side panels. Ideal to customise the look of the mod or simply if things are looking a bit worn!

Both the mod and tank have standard 510 connections so you can of course use either with other devices.

If you buy the full kit, the oddly named “Centaurus Sub Coo Tank” will be included.

This is a sub ohm tank which is compatible with the UB Max coil range found on other Lost Vape kits.

The capacity varies, in the standard kit you get both the 4ml and 5ml tank glass included. However for TPD regulated areas you will get a 2ml capacity glass.
