Lost Vape

What the Lost Vape Collection Covers

This collection brings together hardware from Lost Vape, a Shenzhen-based manufacturer that designs refillable pod systems, box mods, replacement pods, coils and the small spares that keep them running. It is a device-led brand rather than an e-liquid brand, so almost everything here is kit that you fill and vape through, plus the consumable parts that wear out and need replacing.

When you browse the range you will typically find four kinds of product:

• Pod kits - compact refillable devices in the Orion and Ursa families, built around a small battery, a replaceable pod and a coil that lives inside it or sits in the pod base.
• Box mod kits - larger, adjustable devices such as the Centaurus and Thelema families, paired with a sub-ohm tank and a rechargeable battery, aimed at people who want to tune their vape.
• Replacement pods and coils - the consumables. These are the parts you will buy most often, and they are specific to each device family, so matching them correctly matters.
• Spares and accessories - spare glass, drip tips, lanyards, charging cables and similar small parts.

One point worth stating plainly: Lost Vape is a hardware brand and is not a disposable vape brand. The name is also easy to confuse with other similar-sounding names on the market, but Lost Vape is a separate company with its own product lines. If you arrived looking for a pre-filled, throw-away device, note that single-use vapes can no longer legally be sold in the UK, and a refillable kit from this range is the lawful route to a similar pocket-sized experience, with the added benefit of a lot less waste.

Everything on this page is sold to adults only. You must be 18 or over to buy, and carriers may ask for confirmation of age on delivery.

Brand Background: Where Lost Vape Comes From

Lost Vape started in Shenzhen in the mid-2010s, at a time when the vaping hardware market was dominated by mechanical tubes and early regulated box mods. The company made its name with temperature-control box mods and enthusiast-oriented kit, and it built a reputation among hobbyists for solid metalwork, leather and wood-effect finishes and chipsets that were willing to be configured in detail. That enthusiast origin still shows in the range today: even the simpler products tend to carry a bit more finish and detail than the plainest budget plastic devices.

Over the years the catalogue broadened. Alongside the larger mods, Lost Vape added compact pod systems for people who wanted something that behaved like a pocket vape but could be refilled. The Orion line became the best-known of these, followed by the Ursa family, which spans small pod kits through to larger tank-style kits that take higher-powered coils.

Two things tend to define the brand in practice:

• Design identity - rounded, tactile bodies, textured or leather-effect panels on many models, and a colour palette that leans towards muted tones rather than loud neon.
• Chipset and coil focus - Lost Vape has leaned on its own coil families and on chipsets such as its Quest platform, and on Evolv DNA boards in the higher-end mods. The coils are designed alongside the devices, which is why compatibility is device-family specific.

That in-house approach has pros and cons. The upside is a consistent vape from a given family and coils designed to suit the airflow of that particular body. The downside is that you are tied to Lost Vape pods and coils for that device, so it is sensible to check that replacement parts are available before you commit to a model.

Flagship Product Lines: Orion, Ursa, Centaurus and Thelema

Lost Vape products are organised into families, and understanding the families is the quickest way to make sense of the collection. The names below are the ones you are most likely to see, though the specific models stocked change over time, so always read the product page for the exact specification.

• Orion - the compact pod line. Orion kits are slim, pocket-sized and built to be simple: a rechargeable battery body, a refillable pod and a coil designed for mouth-to-lung vaping. Several generations exist, so the pods from an earlier Orion are not guaranteed to fit a later one. Always match the pod to the exact device name.
• Ursa - a broader family that runs from small, easy pod devices to larger kits with bigger pods and more power. Ursa kits are popular with people who want a bit more vapour and flavour than a basic pod system gives without going to a full box mod. Many Ursa devices accept the brand's Ultra Boost style coils, which come in a range of resistances.
• Centaurus - the box mod family. Centaurus mods are built for sub-ohm vaping, with adjustable wattage, a decent-sized screen and either an internal battery or one or two removable cells, depending on the model.
• Thelema - a further box mod line aimed at experienced users, with higher maximum wattage and more detailed control over the output.
• Quest-series chipsets and kits - a platform name you will see attached to several devices. It describes the electronics rather than a body shape, and it is usually shorthand for a reliable adjustable chip with sensible safety protections.

Typical formats and specifications to expect: pod kits usually have a 2ml pod capacity, because UK rules cap the size of a nicotine-containing tank or pod at 2ml. Box mod kits will often ship with a sub-ohm tank sized for the UK market, with the tank volume reduced to 2ml and sometimes supplied with an extension glass for other regions. Coils range from tight mouth-to-lung resistances around 0.8 to 1.0 ohm up to sub-ohm coils below 0.4 ohm in larger kits. Battery capacity varies, from compact devices with a few hundred milliamp-hours up to box mods that run on 18650 or 21700 cells.

Pod Kit or Box Mod: Choosing the Right Format

The most important decision inside this collection is the format. A pod kit and a box mod are different ways to vape, and picking the wrong one is the most common reason for disappointment.

Choose a pod kit if you:

• are moving from cigarettes or from a disposable and want something simple.
• prefer a tight, cigarette-like draw (mouth-to-lung), where you draw into your mouth first and then inhale.
• want a device that fits easily in a pocket and needs little adjusting.
• are comfortable using nicotine salt e-liquid at moderate strengths.

Choose a box mod kit if you:

• like a looser, more open draw with larger clouds (direct-to-lung).
• want to adjust power, to change flavour intensity and warmth.
• are happy to carry a larger device and to charge or swap batteries.
• plan to use lower-strength freebase e-liquid in bigger volumes.

A middle path exists in the larger Ursa style kits, which give extra power and a bigger pod without the full complexity of a mod. If you are not sure, the pod route is easier to live with. The fastest way to decide is to think about how you vape right now. If you take short, frequent puffs, a pod kit suits that habit. If you like long, relaxed draws and a lot of vapour, you are looking at a sub-ohm tank on a box mod.

Do not mix the two worlds. Strong salt-nicotine liquid is meant for low-power pod devices and can feel harsh and heavy in a sub-ohm setup, while thin low-strength liquid used in a small pod can taste weak and burn through quickly.

Coils, Pods and E-Liquid: Getting the Pairing Right

With a refillable device, the parts you replace matter as much as the device itself. Here is how to think about them.

Coils and pods. In a Lost Vape pod kit, the coil is usually built into a replaceable pod or screwed into the pod base. A coil is a consumable: it is a small heating element wrapped in cotton, and it wears as liquid sweetness and heat gradually degrade the cotton. A coil commonly lasts from about one to three weeks of normal use, depending on how much you vape, the sweetness of your liquid and the power you run it at. Signs it is ready to replace include a burnt or flat taste, reduced vapour and gurgling that does not clear.

Resistance matters. Lower resistance coils (for example under 0.5 ohm) draw more power and make more vapour, and they suit lower nicotine strengths. Higher resistance coils (around 0.8 to 1.2 ohm) make tighter, cooler vapour and suit stronger nicotine salt liquids. Choose the coil that suits your style of vaping rather than the one that sounds the most powerful.

Nicotine strength. In the UK, refill liquids containing nicotine are capped at 20mg/ml, which is often shown as 2%. In practice that gives you several sensible choices:

• Nicotine salt, 10mg to 20mg - for pod kits. Smoother at higher strengths, with a throat hit that is tolerable. Light smokers often settle on 10mg; heavier smokers may want 20mg.
• Freebase, 3mg to 6mg - for box mods and sub-ohm tanks. Larger volumes of vapour at lower strengths.
• Nicotine-free, 0mg -for people who have stepped down completely.

Bottle sizes are also limited. Nicotine-containing e-liquid is sold in bottles of up to 10ml in the UK, and nicotine-free liquid in larger volumes. If you see a larger bottle with nicotine, it is a nicotine shot designed to be mixed, and it is sold under separate rules, so read the label.

Flavour. Because pod coils are small, very sweet, thick liquids can clog them faster. A 50/50 or 60/40 VG/PG blend flows well in most pod devices. Heavier 70/30 and 80/20 VG liquids belong in box mod tanks with wider wicking ports.

How Lost Vape Compares with Other Hardware Brands

Lost Vape sits among a crowded group of Shenzhen-based hardware brands, and comparing them fairly means looking at what each does well rather than ranking them. Here is a general guide to how Lost Vape differs from some brands you may also be considering.

• Versus Vaporesso and Voopoo - these brands push hard on pod-and-coil ecosystems with large catalogues and heavy availability of replacement parts. Lost Vape tends to put more emphasis on build finish and a tactile feel, with a narrower family structure. Parts are widely available, but you should still confirm the exact pod or coil for your model.
• Versus Geekvape - Geekvape is well known for tougher, water-resistant hardware. Lost Vape generally leans towards a refined, lifestyle look rather than a rugged one, though the two overlap in mid-range box mods.
• Versus Smok and Uwell - both brands have deep ranges of pod and tank systems and coils at varied price points. Lost Vape typically occupies a mid to upper-mid position on price, and it is usually not the cheapest option in a given category.
• Versus disposable-style pocket vapes - single-use vapes are no longer legally sold in the UK. A refillable Lost Vape pod kit offers a similar pocket size, but the running cost is lower over time because you replace the coil and refill the liquid instead of the entire device.

The honest summary is that no one brand is right for everybody. If you value a solid-feeling, good-looking device and are happy to buy matching coils, Lost Vape is worth shortlisting. If your priority is the lowest possible price per coil, or you want the widest choice of third-party accessories, other brands may suit you better. Look at the cost of the pods and coils alongside the kit, because that running cost often decides the real value of a device over a year.

Which Lost Vape Models Suit New Vapers and Which Suit Experienced Vapers

Matching the model to your experience level saves money and frustration.

For new vapers and people switching from smoking

• Start with a compact pod kit from the Orion or smaller Ursa range. They have few settings, a simple fill process and a mouth-to-lung draw that feels closer to a cigarette.
• Use nicotine salt e-liquid. A strength of 10mg to 20mg is the usual starting range, and lighter smokers or people who vape often tend to do well on the lower end.
• Keep a spare coil or pod at home so you are never stuck with a burnt one.
• Fill carefully, let the liquid soak into the cotton for a few minutes, and take gentle first puffs. This simple habit prevents most early dry hits.

For people stepping up from a basic pod kit

• A larger Ursa-style kit gives more power and bigger pods, which suits people who find a small pod too restrictive.
• Try one coil resistance at a time so you can tell what you prefer.

For experienced vapers

• Box mods in the Centaurus and Thelema families give wattage control, temperature options on some boards and the ability to use a range of tanks.
• Learn the basics of battery safety if the model uses removable cells: use matched cells, keep them in cases when not in use and never carry them loose in a pocket with keys or coins.
• Rebuildable options are not the focus of this range, so if you enjoy building your own coils, check the specification of each tank before you buy.

A brief word of caution: do not buy a high-power box mod as a first device simply because it looks impressive. A sub-ohm setup uses more liquid, more battery and produces strong vapour that can be unpleasant if you are used to a gentle draw.

UK Rules: Nicotine Caps, Tank Sizes and the Single-Use Ban

Vaping in the UK is regulated, and the rules shape which products you can buy and how they are labelled. These points apply to the products in this collection.

• Nicotine strength cap. Nicotine e-liquid and pre-filled pods are limited to 20mg/ml. The same cap applied to single-use vapes before they were removed from sale, which is why you will still see 20mg as the top strength on many pod refills.
• Tank and pod size. A refillable tank or pod used with nicotine liquid is limited to 2ml. This is why UK kits ship with 2ml pods and short glass sections.
• Bottle size. Refill bottles containing nicotine are limited to 10ml. Nicotine-free liquid can be sold in larger bottles.
• Labelling. Products must carry health warnings, ingredient listings and child-resistant, tamper-evident packaging where required.
• Age restriction. It is illegal to sell nicotine vaping products to anyone under 18, and it is also an offence to buy them on behalf of someone who is under 18.
• Single-use vapes. Disposable vapes were banned from sale in the UK from 1 June 2025. Refillable and rechargeable devices, such as those in this collection, remain legal to buy and use.

None of this is legal advice, and regulations change, so it is worth checking the current government guidance if you have a specific question. The practical point is that a Lost Vape kit bought from a UK retailer should arrive with UK-appropriate pods, labelling and instructions. If a kit arrives with a larger tank than 2ml for use with nicotine, or with unfamiliar labelling, contact the seller before using it.

Spotting Genuine Lost Vape Stock

Popular hardware brands attract counterfeits, and replacement coils and pods are copied more often than whole devices, because they are cheap to make and easy to swap in unnoticed. Counterfeit electronics can be a real safety concern, especially where batteries and charging are involved, so it pays to be careful.

Practical checks you can make:

• Buy from a UK retailer you trust. Prices that sit far below the usual market range are the first warning sign.
• Check the packaging. Genuine boxes have crisp print, accurate spelling, clear model names and consistent colours. Blurred logos or odd wording suggest a copy.
• Look for verification features. Many Lost Vape boxes carry a scratch-off or sticker code, where present, that can be checked through the manufacturer's verification channel. If a code is missing, already scratched or does not verify, do not use the product.
• Inspect the finish. Seams should be even, threads should turn smoothly and printed text on the device body should be sharp. Rattling parts or glue marks are red flags.
• Check the UK compliance details. Genuine UK-market packs include the required warnings and contact details in English.
• Compare pods and coils with a known genuine one. Fakes often differ in weight, wicking-hole size, cotton colour or printing on the metal.
• Use the right charger. Charge only with a suitable cable and a reputable plug, and never leave a charging device unattended overnight.

If you suspect you have received a counterfeit item, stop using it, keep the packaging and contact the seller promptly with photos. If a fake battery or device has overheated or caused harm, report it to Trading Standards.

Care, Warranty, Returns, Recycling and Value Guidance

A little routine care makes a Lost Vape device last much longer and keeps the flavour clean.

Day-to-day care

• Wipe the mouthpiece and the charging contacts every few days with a dry cloth or cotton bud.
• Do not overfill the pod. Fill up to the line, and keep the liquid away from the airflow holes.
• Prime a fresh coil by letting it soak for several minutes before the first puff.
• Keep the device out of heat and direct sun, and out of damp or wet places.
• Replace a coil as soon as it tastes burnt. Pushing a worn coil can foul the pod and the next coil.

Warranty and returns. Hardware from manufacturers typically carries a limited warranty against manufacturing faults, usually covering the electronics and not the consumable parts such as coils, pods and glass. Terms vary by product, so check the product page and our returns information before ordering. If you receive a faulty device, tell us quickly, include clear photos or a short video of the fault and keep all packaging. Wear-and-tear parts, liquid damage and drops are generally not covered.

Value guidance. Entry-level Lost Vape pod kits sit in the budget to mid-range, while box mod kits sit in the mid to upper range. The purchase price is only part of the cost. Count the pods or coils you will need each month and the e-liquid you will use, because running costs often outweigh the device price over a year. Buying a kit with a spare pod or a pack of coils together can reduce the effective price, and keeping a spare coil on hand avoids paying more for a rushed purchase.

Recycling. Do not put vapes, batteries or coils in household bins or recycling. Used devices contain lithium batteries that can start fires in bin lorries and recycling plants. Retailers that sell vapes are required to take back waste vapes, and most local household waste recycling centres also accept them. Remove the e-liquid from pods where practical and drop the device at a vape recycling point, or at any shop displaying a vape take-back sign.
