Overview: what the Lost Vape Orion Pod 0.25Ohm (Pack of 2) is

The Lost Vape Orion Pod 0.25Ohm (Pack of 2) is a set of two replacement pods for Lost Vape Orion-series pod systems. It is an accessory, not a complete kit, so you need a compatible Orion device to use it, and you fill the pod yourself with the e-liquid you prefer. The coil is built into the pod, which means that when the coil wears out you replace the whole pod instead of swapping a separate coil head. That keeps maintenance simple: no tools, no screwing in coils and no wicking by hand.

The 0.25ohm figure is the resistance of the built-in coil. Resistance below about 0.5ohm is usually called sub-ohm. A sub-ohm coil lets more current flow, heats up quickly and vaporises a larger volume of liquid per draw than a 0.8ohm to 1.2ohm pod would. The result is a looser, airier inhale known as direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping, where you breathe the vapour straight into your lungs in one steady motion instead of holding it in your mouth first. If you are used to tight, cigarette-style draws, this is a noticeably different experience, and it is worth understanding before you buy.

To be clear about what the pack covers and what it does not:

• Included: two Orion pods, each with a 0.25ohm integrated coil.
• Not included: the Orion device itself, a USB charger, or any e-liquid.
• Compatibility: built for Lost Vape Orion devices that use this pod format. Orion-branded hardware has been released in more than one generation, so always check the model name on your device against the compatibility note on the product page before ordering.

A pack of two is a sensible way to buy a consumable part. You can fit one pod, keep the second sealed as a spare, and avoid being stuck without a working coil when the first one reaches the end of its life. It also makes it practical to dedicate one pod to a particular flavour family, which we cover later in this guide.

Refillable pod systems have also become more relevant in the UK since single-use vapes were banned from sale in June 2025. If you previously relied on disposables, a refillable system with replaceable pods is the legal, lower-waste way to carry on vaping, and it usually works out cheaper per millilitre of liquid than buying a new throwaway every few days.

Specifications at a glance

Here are the headline figures for this pod. Where a number is an estimate rather than a published manufacturer rating, we say so, because pod life and puff counts vary a great deal with how you vape.

• Product type: replacement refillable pod, pack of 2 (accessory).
• Brand: Lost Vape.
• Coil resistance: 0.25ohm, integrated into the pod (the whole pod is replaced when the coil is spent).
• Fill capacity: refillable pods sold in the UK are limited to 2ml, so you should expect a 2ml e-liquid capacity.
• Inhale style: direct-to-lung (DTL), open and airy.
• Suitable e-liquid: high-VG freebase e-liquid, ideally 70VG/30PG or 80VG/20PG, in low nicotine strengths.
• Battery: none inside the pod. Power comes from the Orion device the pod is clipped or plugged into.
• Typical pod life (estimate): roughly one to two weeks of regular use, or around five to ten refills, depending on liquid and wattage.
• Sold as: a pack of 2 pods.

Two numbers in that list matter more than the rest. The first is the 0.25ohm resistance, because it decides how much power the pod wants and what type of liquid suits it. The second is the 2ml capacity, because it sets how often you refill. A sub-ohm coil uses liquid quickly, so a 2ml pod is something you will top up several times in a day if you vape heavily.

We have deliberately not quoted a single fixed puff count. Puff ratings make sense for single-use vapes with a fixed liquid load, but for a refillable pod the number of puffs depends on the strength of your draw, how long you hold the fire button, the wattage your device is set to, and how thick the e-liquid is. Instead, later sections give realistic ranges and the arithmetic behind them so you can judge it for yourself.

Performance and vapour delivery

With a 0.25ohm coil, the headline characteristic is vapour volume. The pod is designed for a wide, relaxed lung inhale, and it produces a large, warm cloud for each draw. Most pod systems at 0.8ohm or above are mouth-to-lung (MTL) and give a restrained, tight pull. This pod sits at the opposite end of the scale, and it behaves more like a small sub-ohm tank than a conventional pod.

Here is what to expect in use:

• Fast ramp-up. A low-resistance coil reaches vaping temperature quickly, so vapour starts almost as soon as you press the button or inhale on a draw-activated device.
• Warm vapour. Because more power is going into the coil, the vapour tends to be warmer than a high-resistance pod. Lowering the wattage cools it down.
• Open airflow. The airflow is meant to be generous. A restricted draw on a 0.25ohm pod can cause the coil to overheat and give a harsh or burnt taste.
• Higher liquid consumption. Expect to go through e-liquid faster than with a 0.6ohm or 1.0ohm pod.

How many puffs will you get? There is no official rating for a refillable pod, but we can reason about it. A 3-second sub-ohm draw usually uses somewhere around 0.01ml to 0.02ml of liquid at typical wattages. On that basis, a 2ml fill commonly lasts in the region of 150 to 300 draws. Over its whole life, a pod might get through 10ml to 20ml of liquid, which is why a 10ml bottle of e-liquid can disappear in a few days of steady use. Treat these as planning figures, not guarantees.

Performance is also affected by wattage. Most pod coils in this resistance range work best in a moderate window rather than at the very top of the device's output. Start low, take a few draws, and increase in small steps until the vapour is warm and the flavour is full, but not dry or sharp. If you push beyond the sweet spot, you shorten the coil's life and burn the cotton earlier. If the device has a recommended wattage range printed on the pod or in the manual, follow that range first and treat anything outside it as experimentation at your own risk.

Finally, consistency. A fresh pod should be steady from the first fill to the last, assuming it is primed properly and the liquid is thin enough to wick. A drop in vapour output mid-pod is usually a sign of the liquid being too thick, the coil getting tired, or the pod running low, not a defect.

Flavour profile

The pod does not have a flavour of its own; the taste comes from the e-liquid you fill it with. What the pod controls is how faithfully that liquid is delivered. At 0.25ohm, the coil produces a large amount of vapour, and the flavour is rounder and more diffuse than the sharp, concentrated taste of a high-resistance pod. Many vapers find that fruit, soda and dessert profiles come across well at this resistance because the vapour is warm enough to carry sweetness without being cooked.

Some practical points on flavour:

• Fruit and ice: mixed berry, apple, watermelon and menthol-style blends tend to stay crisp when the wattage is kept moderate. At high wattage, cooling agents can become harsh.
• Dessert and custard: sweet, creamy liquids work, but they leave more residue on the coil, so expect the pod to wear faster than it would with a lighter fruit liquid.
• Tobacco and bakery: subtle notes can be overwhelmed by a big cloud. If you prefer a clear tobacco character, a higher-resistance pod is usually more satisfying.
• Dark, heavily sweetened liquids: these can caramelise on the cotton and dull the taste after a few refills.

Flavour changes and ghosting. Cotton holds on to traces of what you vaped last, which is why you sometimes taste yesterday's flavour in today's liquid. If you switch between very different flavours, such as menthol and a creamy dessert, you will notice this most. The pack of two helps here: dedicate one pod to fruit and menthol profiles and the other to sweet or creamy ones, and the cross-over taste will be much less noticeable.

Changing flavour in the same pod. If you need to switch, empty the pod, let the remaining liquid drain onto a tissue, and refill with the new liquid. Do not run water through the coil, because it can damage the cotton and shorten the pod's life. Expect a few draws of mixed flavour before the new liquid takes over fully.

The overall character is clean and full rather than sharp. If you are moving from a 1.0ohm pod, the flavour will taste less intense per puff but more generous overall, because you are inhaling a larger volume of vapour in each draw.

Design and build quality

The Orion pod is a compact, sealed cartridge. The coil, wicking cotton and liquid chamber are moulded as one unit, and the pod connects to the device through contacts, so there are no loose parts to lose. For a part that is meant to be replaced every week or two, this is a sensible design: it is quick to fit, easy to hold, and hard to fit wrongly.

What to look for when you handle the pod:

• Clear or tinted liquid window. This lets you see how much liquid is left so you can refill before the cotton goes dry. Never rely on guesswork with a sub-ohm coil, because a dry hit burns the cotton immediately.
• Fill port. Refillable pods of this type are filled through a port sealed with a silicone bung. Tip the pod, insert the bottle nozzle, and fill slowly to just below the top. Pushing in too hard or overfilling is the most common cause of leaks.
• Silicone seals. The seals around the base and fill port keep liquid in the pod and air out of the chamber. Check they are seated before inserting the pod. A nick or a displaced seal is a likely source of leaking.
• Contact points. The metal contacts at the base should be clean and dry. Wipe them with a dry tissue if liquid has crept on to them.

Materials. The pod body is plastic, typically a heat-resistant polymer, and the liquid chamber is designed to hold e-liquid without clouding or cracking under normal use. Plastic pods can in principle be affected by some very aggressive flavourings, so if you see clouding or cracks after using a particular liquid, stop using it in that pod.

Build expectations. This is a consumable part, not an heirloom. It is made to be used for a week or two and replaced. We would not describe the pod as fragile, but it is not designed to be dropped repeatedly or carried loose in a pocket with keys. Keep the second pod in its packaging until you need it, so the mouthpiece and contacts stay clean.

Hygiene. Wipe the mouthpiece with a clean cloth once a day, and avoid sharing pods. If you notice a smell or sticky residue on the exterior, replace the pod rather than trying to clean the sealed coil unit.

Battery, power and charging

The pod itself has no battery. Power comes from the Orion device, so battery life, charging speed and maximum output are set by the hardware you pair the pod with. That said, a 0.25ohm coil is a demanding load, and it is worth understanding why.

Using Ohm's law, a coil at 0.25ohm running at 30W sees about 2.7V and draws roughly 11A from the battery. That is a high current for a small pod device. Lower wattage reduces it: at 20W the current is nearer 9A, and at 40W it rises to about 12.6A. The device must be able to deliver this current safely, which is one of the reasons pods are matched to specific Orion hardware. Do not try to force a pod into a device that was not designed for it.

How long will a charge last? Battery sizes in compact pod devices commonly sit between roughly 800mAh and 1500mAh, but yours depends on the model. As a worked example, a 1000mAh cell at a nominal 3.7V stores about 3.7Wh of energy. A 3-second draw at 30W uses about 0.025Wh, so in theory you would get around 150 draws per charge. After conversion losses, a realistic figure is nearer 100 to 130. At 20W you would get noticeably more. This also means a smaller battery can run flat before you have emptied a 2ml pod, so carry a charger or a spare if you vape heavily.

Charging tips for UK vapers:

• Charge through the device's USB port using a reputable charger rated for the device. A standard 5V phone charger at 1A to 2A is normally fine.
• Avoid cheap, unbranded chargers and damaged cables.
• Do not charge on soft furnishings such as a sofa or bed, and do not leave a device charging unattended overnight.
• Remove the device from the charger when it reaches full charge, and do not leave it in a hot car.
• Stop using any device that is swollen, hot to the touch while idle, or smells unusual, and take it for electrical recycling.

Pod and battery interaction. A fresh 0.25ohm pod draws the most from a full battery, while a half-empty battery can deliver weaker vapour. If vapour output falls off sharply while the pod still has liquid and the coil is fine, charge the device before replacing the pod. It is a more common cause than a faulty coil.

Coil technology and resistance explained

The coil is the heating element inside the pod. Current runs through it, it heats up, and the cotton wick next to it releases vapour from the e-liquid. In an integrated-coil pod like this one, the coil and wick are sealed into the pod at the factory, so the manufacturer controls the consistency of the whole unit. You cannot rebuild or rewick it, but you also cannot get the build wrong.

What 0.25ohm means in practice. Lower resistance means less opposition to the current. At a given power setting, the coil heats quickly and the cotton must keep pace with the liquid delivery. That is why sub-ohm pods are designed with larger wicking channels and more generous airflow than the 1.0ohm pods used for tight draws. At this resistance, manufacturers commonly use a mesh or multi-wire coil structure, which spreads heat across a larger surface area and helps vaporise liquid more evenly than a single thin wire. Check the packaging or Lost Vape's product page for the exact coil material of this release.

The comparison with other resistances looks roughly like this:

• 1.0ohm to 1.2ohm: tight, cigarette-like draw; works with nicotine salts at 10mg to 20mg; low vapour volume; high flavour concentration.
• 0.6ohm to 0.8ohm: a middle ground; slightly looser draw; suits 6mg to 12mg freebase or lower-strength salts.
• 0.25ohm to 0.4ohm: airy DTL draw; large vapour; designed for low-nicotine, high-VG liquid.

Why liquid choice matters. A low-resistance coil with generous wicking is built for thick, high-VG liquid. A very thin, high-PG liquid may seep through the wicking too freely and flood the pod, causing leaks. A liquid that is too thick can starve the cotton, leading to dry hits. As a rule, 70VG/30PG or 80VG/20PG suits this pod well.

Coil life. Coils do not last forever. The cotton darkens, sweeteners from the liquid build up as residue (known as coil gunk), and the flavour dulls. A typical lifespan is one to two weeks, shorter with sweet liquids and high wattage. If the taste is flat after priming a new liquid, the coil is probably at the end of its life.

Coil break-in. A new coil benefits from a few minutes of settling time after filling, then gentle first draws at a low wattage. This protects the wick and prolongs the pod's life.

Nicotine strength guidance

Choosing the right nicotine strength is the most important decision you will make with a sub-ohm pod. The wrong choice can make the vape harsh, or leave you with weak satisfaction, so it deserves care.

The UK nicotine limit. In the UK, e-liquid for retail sale is capped at 20mg/ml of nicotine (often written as 2% or 20mg), and nicotine e-liquid bottles are limited to 10ml. The same 20mg cap applied to disposables until single-use vapes were banned from sale in June 2025. This pod does not contain nicotine itself; the strength is decided by the e-liquid you put into it. The legal maximum does not mean you should use it in a 0.25ohm pod, and in fact the opposite is true.

Why low strength suits 0.25ohm. At this resistance, each draw delivers a large volume of vapour, and you inhale more e-liquid with each puff. A high nicotine strength would deliver far more nicotine per draw than most people want, and it would be unpleasant on the throat. As a rough guide:

• 3mg freebase: a common starting point for people who vape a lot or who have been vaping for a while and want a gentle, smooth inhale.
• 6mg freebase: a good fit for former moderate smokers who want a bit more throat feel and satisfaction.
• 12mg freebase: the upper end for sub-ohm use, aimed at people who miss a tight throat hit. It can feel harsh at higher wattages.
• 0mg: an option for vapers who have stepped down fully and want to vape for flavour and habit.

Nicotine salts. Salts at 10mg or 20mg are made for lower-power, tighter draws. In a 0.25ohm pod, a 20mg salt would deliver a very high amount of nicotine per draw and use up quickly. We do not recommend them here. If you prefer salts, a 0.6ohm to 1.0ohm pod is a better match.

Shortfills. Many sub-ohm vapers buy 50ml or 100ml shortfill bottles with space for nicotine shots. Mixing a shot to reach 3mg in a 50ml bottle is straightforward, and it generally works out cheaper than buying small bottles. Always follow the mixing guidance on the bottle, and note that UK rules keep the final strength at or below 20mg/ml.

If you are new to vaping: a 0.25ohm pod is not an ideal first device for a smoker who needs a strong nicotine hit, because the low-strength liquid it requires may not satisfy cravings. Consider a tighter-draw system first and move across later if you want bigger clouds.

Who this pod is for

This pod is a good fit for a fairly specific group of vapers. Being honest about that group will save you time and money.

It suits you if:

• You already own a compatible Lost Vape Orion device and need replacement pods.
• You enjoy a direct-to-lung inhale and want large, warm vapour.
• You vape low-nicotine, high-VG liquid (3mg to 6mg is typical) or nicotine-free liquid.
• You like fruit, ice and soda flavours, and you want them delivered generously.
• You want the convenience of a sealed pod without having to build or maintain coils.
• You are a former disposable user looking for a refillable setup and are comfortable with refilling and charging.

It is probably not for you if:

• You need a strong nicotine hit or you are still smoking daily. A tight-draw pod and a nicotine salt liquid will usually be more satisfying and use less liquid.
• You prefer a restricted, cigarette-like pull. This coil is intentionally airy.
• You vape discreetly in places where large clouds draw attention. A 0.25ohm pod produces a lot of vapour, and your fellow commuters will notice it.
• You want the lowest running cost. Sub-ohm vaping uses more liquid and more power than tight-draw pods.
• You are under 18 or do not currently smoke or vape. Vaping is for adults who want an alternative to smoking, and it is not recommended for non-smokers.
• You are pregnant, or have a health condition that makes nicotine inadvisable, unless a health professional has advised you on it.

Experience level. The pod is straightforward to use, but sub-ohm vaping is a step up from a basic starter kit in terms of power and liquid consumption. A beginner can use it, but they should start with a low wattage, 3mg liquid and short draws. Experienced vapers who like sub-ohm tanks will probably feel at home in minutes.

If you are not sure, it is reasonable to start with a 0.25ohm pod and a 3mg or 6mg liquid, see how you get on for a week, and move to a different resistance if the draw or throat hit does not suit you. Because this pack contains two pods, you will have a spare while you decide.

How to fit, prime and use the pod

Getting the first few minutes right makes a real difference to how long the pod lasts and how it tastes. Follow these steps for every new pod.

The steps below are in order, so work through them from the top.

• 1. Check compatibility. Confirm your Orion device takes this pod format. Make sure the device is switched off, or locked, before you fit a pod.
• 2. Inspect the pod. Check the seals are in place and the base contacts are clean. Remove any packaging or protective film.
• 3. Fill the pod. Open the fill port, tilt the pod, and slowly add e-liquid from the side of the port. Stop just below the top of the chamber, leaving a small air gap. Do not cover the central airflow tube. Close the port firmly.
• 4. Wait to prime. Let the filled pod stand upright for 5 to 10 minutes. This gives the cotton time to soak up liquid. Skipping this step is the most common reason for a burnt first draw.
• 5. Fit the pod. Push the pod into the device until it seats firmly, with no gap or wobble.
• 6. Take a few gentle first draws. Start at the lower end of the wattage range. Take two or three short, slow pulls without pressing the button, so the wick draws in more liquid, and then begin to vape normally.
• 7. Adjust. Increase the wattage in small steps until the vapour is warm and the flavour is right. If it feels hot or tastes harsh, turn the power down.

Everyday habits that help:

• Refill before the pod is completely empty. Do not wait until you see the last few drops.
• Take draws of 2 to 4 seconds with pauses of 20 to 30 seconds. Chain vaping overheats the coil.
• Store the device upright, away from heat, and not in a pocket with loose items.
• Wipe the mouthpiece and contacts regularly.
• Replace the pod when the flavour fades or the vapour becomes weak even with a charged battery and a fresh liquid.

For UK vapers who also smoke, switching completely is where the benefit lies. Dual use reduces the benefit, so if you are using vaping to quit smoking, local stop smoking services in the UK can offer free support alongside a vape starter.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with a sub-ohm pod come down to priming, liquid choice, power settings or a worn coil. Work through these in order before deciding the pod is faulty.

Burnt or harsh taste. The most common causes are inadequate priming, running the pod too low on liquid, or using too high a wattage. Check the liquid level, refill if it is low, wait five minutes, and drop the wattage by a few watts. If the burnt taste persists after a fresh fill, the cotton is probably scorched and the pod needs replacing.

Gurgling or spitting. This usually means the pod is overfilled or that liquid has reached the airflow channel. Remove the pod, wipe the mouthpiece, and blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear the channel. Next time, fill to a slightly lower level.

Leaking. Check that the fill port bung is fully closed and the seals are seated. Leaks can also come from very thin, high-PG liquids, from over-tightening or overfilling, and from pressure changes on a plane or at altitude. Keep the pod upright when stored and avoid keeping it pressed against warm surfaces.

Weak or no vapour. Work through these in turn:

• Is the device charged and switched on?
• Is there liquid in the pod?
• Are the contacts clean and dry?
• Is the pod seated fully?
• Is the liquid too thick? A 100VG liquid can starve the cotton at lower wattages.
• Is the coil worn? If the pod has been in use for two weeks or more, it probably is.

Device does not recognise the pod. Remove the pod, wipe the contacts with a dry tissue, and refit it firmly. If the device still shows an error, try the second pod from the pack. If both fail in the same way, the issue is more likely to be the device or a compatibility mismatch, so check the model.

Flat flavour from a new pod. Fresh pods can taste muted for the first refill, particularly if the liquid is very sweet. Give it a full tank to settle before judging.

Sticky residue on the outside. This is usually e-liquid that has seeped around the seals during filling. Wipe with a dry cloth. If it comes back, the pod is probably leaking and should be replaced.

If you have tried these steps and a pod still does not work, contact the shop with your order details and a short description of the fault, and keep the packaging.

Value for money, comparisons and responsible disposal

Value. A sensible way to judge value is cost per millilitre vaped rather than the price of the pack. As an illustration only, if a pack of two pods cost £10 and each pod delivered 10ml of vaping before it needed replacing, the pod cost would be about 50p per millilitre. The same logic applies to the e-liquid, which for sub-ohm use is usually the larger running cost. A sub-ohm pod uses more liquid than a tight-draw pod, so total cost will be higher than a mouth-to-lung system, even if the pods themselves are inexpensive. Buying shortfill e-liquid in 50ml or 100ml bottles rather than 10ml nicotine bottles helps to keep running costs down.

Comparisons with other pod ranges. Pods are specific to a device, so you cannot mix and match between brands, but it helps to understand where this pod sits.

• Vaporesso GTX pods: widely used in the sub-ohm pod category, with a good reputation for flavour from mesh coils. They suit Vaporesso hardware, so they are only relevant if you own one of those devices.
• Voopoo PnP pods: common, widely stocked and generally modestly priced, with a range of resistances from tight to sub-ohm. Again, tied to Voopoo devices.
• SMOK RPM and Nord pods: the range covers many resistances and is well stocked, with mesh and other coil types. Fits SMOK devices only.

In fairness, none of these are inherently better or worse than the Orion pod. If you own an Orion device, the sensible choice is the pod made for it. If you are choosing a new device, compare the whole system, including pod price, availability of resistances and how easy pods are to find in the UK.

UK rules to keep in mind. You must be 18 or over to buy. Refillable tanks and pods sold in the UK are limited to 2ml, nicotine e-liquid bottles to 10ml, and e-liquid strength to 20mg/ml. Single-use vapes can no longer be sold, which is why a refillable setup is now the standard route.

Recycling and disposal. Used pods should not go into household bins. They contain a small metal coil and residual liquid. Many vape shops accept used pods and devices, and household waste recycling centres run by local councils take small electricals. The Recycle Your Electricals website lists drop-off points by postcode. Never put a device with a lithium battery in general rubbish or household recycling, because it can start a fire in bin lorries and sorting plants. Empty any leftover liquid onto absorbent paper before disposing of the pod.
