Lost Vape Ursa Cap Pod Kit Galaxy Star at a glance

The Lost Vape Ursa Cap Pod Kit in Galaxy Star is a refillable pod system from Lost Vape, a brand known for mod hardware and compact pod devices with a clean, slightly industrial look. The Ursa Cap belongs to the small pod-kit category: a pocketable rechargeable body, a top-fill pod that holds up to 2ml of e-liquid, and a replaceable coil built into that pod. Galaxy Star is the colourway, a dark finish with a fine speckled, star-field effect that catches the light in a way plain black or grey devices do not.

This page walks through what the kit does well, where it is limited, and who is likely to get on with it. Where we quote figures, they are the typical values for this class of device and for the Ursa family. The specification table on the product listing is the final word on exact numbers such as battery rating and coil resistance, so check it before you buy.

It helps to understand the UK backdrop. Single-use disposable vapes can no longer be sold in the UK following the ban that came into force on 1 June 2025, and before that ban disposables were already limited to 2ml of liquid and a maximum of 20mg/ml nicotine. Refillable pod kits like the Ursa Cap are the mainstream replacement. The same 20mg/ml nicotine ceiling and 2ml pod limit apply to refillable products, so everything described here sits inside those rules. The kit is for adults only, and you must be 18 or over to buy it.

Performance and puff delivery

Pod kits in this class are built around one idea: give the vaper a smooth, controlled hit that sits between a basic disposable and a full sub-ohm device. The Ursa Cap follows that approach. The draw is designed to feel closer to a restricted lung inhale than a wide-open pull, which is why this style of device suits people who are switching from cigarettes or moving across from disposables.

Puff count, realistically. Disposable packaging used to quote enormous puff numbers, and those figures rarely survived contact with real life. For a refillable kit, the honest way to think about it is per fill. A full 2ml pod typically delivers somewhere in the region of 300 to 500 puffs, depending on how long you hold each draw, the nicotine strength, the VG/PG ratio of your liquid and how warm the coil is running. A light user taking short draws will land near the top of that range, and someone taking long, slow pulls will land nearer the bottom. Because the pod is refillable, total output is limited by coil life and battery, not by a fixed amount of pre-filled liquid.

Vapour production. Expect moderate clouds. The Ursa Cap is built for flavour and throat feel rather than for dense plumes, and it does not pretend otherwise. If you want large clouds, a sub-ohm kit with a wider airflow path is the better tool. If you want something discreet that does not fill a room, a pod kit like this is much closer to what you need.

Ramp-up and consistency. Mesh-style coils have a large heating surface and tend to reach working temperature quickly. In practice that means vapour arrives almost as soon as you start drawing, with no noticeable delay. Output stays steady through the pod as long as the wicking keeps up, which is mostly a matter of liquid thickness and keeping the pod reasonably full. Draw activation also means there is no button to hold and no risk of firing the coil dry by accident because you pressed it without inhaling.

Throat hit. The sensation at the back of the throat is controlled mainly by nicotine strength and by the PG content of your liquid, not by the device itself. A 20mg/ml salt in a 50/50 liquid gives a firmer, more cigarette-like hit. A 10mg/ml salt or a nicotine-free liquid feels noticeably softer.

• Typical output per full 2ml pod: roughly 300 to 500 puffs
• Draw style: restricted, mouth-to-lung
• Cloud size: moderate and discreet
• Suitable liquid style: 50/50 or 60/40 VG/PG nicotine salts

Flavour profile

Flavour from a pod kit comes from three things working together: the e-liquid you choose, the coil that vaporises it, and the airflow that carries it to your palate. The Ursa Cap does not ship with a fixed flavour, because it is a refillable system, so the flavour you get is the one you pour in. What the hardware controls is how faithfully that liquid is rendered.

Mesh coils spread the heating surface across a wide area of fine metal mesh instead of a single wire. That tends to produce even vaporisation, which in practice means fewer hot spots and less of the flat, slightly burnt edge that a tired wire coil gives off. Light fruit profiles such as blue raspberry, strawberry kiwi or peach come through with clear top notes, and menthol and mint liquids keep their cooling character without turning harsh. Heavier dessert and bakery flavours, which are denser and sweeter, are better suited to the thicker end of the VG range, but they also tend to age a coil faster, so expect to change the pod a little sooner with those.

How different flavour families behave in this kit

• Fruit and fruit ice: bright, clean and easy to identify. Sweet fruit blends with a cooling agent suit the restricted draw especially well.
• Menthol and mint: crisp and cool. Strong menthol can feel sharp at 20mg/ml, so consider 10mg/ml if you find it too much.
• Tobacco: workable, though tobacco liquids are subtle and benefit from a freshly primed coil. Dark, nutty profiles usually fare better than light, leafy ones.
• Desserts and sweets: rich and rounded, but sugary liquids build up residue on the coil more quickly.
• Cola, energy drink and candy: these carry a sharp, fizzy top note that mesh handles well.

Changing flavour. The pod holds only 2ml, so switching is cheap and quick. If you move between very different profiles, for example from menthol to a creamy dessert, you may notice a trace of the previous flavour for a few draws. This is often called ghosting. Emptying the pod, rinsing it with lukewarm water, drying it fully and refilling usually clears it. If the coil is already well used, fitting a fresh pod is the simpler fix. Many vapers keep a spare pod so they can run two flavours in rotation without any crossover.

Galaxy Star is a cosmetic choice only. Nothing about the colour changes the vapour or flavour, and the same pods fit every colourway of the Ursa Cap.

Design and build quality

Lost Vape has long put effort into how its devices look and feel, and the Ursa Cap carries that approach into a small, easy-to-carry format. The body is a coated metal shell with rounded edges, light enough to forget in a jacket pocket and compact enough to disappear into a closed hand. The Galaxy Star finish is a dark base with a fine speckle that reads as a starry night sky in good light and as a quiet charcoal in dim light. Compared with glossy black, it hides fingerprints and light dust better, which matters on a device that lives in your hand all day.

Pod and fit. The top-fill pod seats firmly into the top of the body, with contact points that connect the coil to the battery. A firm fit matters in a pod system because a loose pod is the most common source of intermittent firing. The pod has a silicone bung over the fill port. It should press back into place flush each time you refill, and you should check it before you put the pod back in the device.

Mouthpiece and ergonomics. The drip-tip style mouthpiece is shaped for comfortable lip contact and is not so wide that it gets in the way. The slimline body suits smaller hands and sits easily between two fingers, which also makes it simple to cover when you are out in public.

Indicators and controls. A small LED shows when the device is firing and flags a low battery. There is no screen and no menu. The simplicity is deliberate: if you want to change settings, adjust wattage or flick through modes, this is not that sort of device. If you want to fill, inhale and put it away, it is.

Durability. A coated metal body stands up to everyday knocks well, though no finish is chip-proof. Keys and coins in the same pocket will eventually mark the edges. A soft pouch or a silicone sleeve keeps the Galaxy Star effect looking sharp. The USB-C port is on the base, and it is worth keeping it clear of lint, because pocket debris can stop the cable seating fully.

• Coated metal body with rounded edges
• Top-fill pod with silicone bung
• LED indicator with low-battery warning
• USB-C port on the base
• Speckled Galaxy Star finish that hides fingerprints

Battery and charging

The Ursa Cap uses a built-in rechargeable cell in the 800mAh class, which is a sensible match for a 2ml pod and the modest power draw of a mesh pod coil. In a kit of this type the battery is sized to outlast the pod rather than to allow extreme use. Check the spec table on this page for the exact rating on the unit you are buying.

How long does a charge last? It varies with how you vape, but the following is a fair guide for a device in this class.

• Light user (occasional draws through the day): one to two days between charges
• Moderate user (a pod or so a day): about a full day of use
• Heavy user (frequent, long draws): a charge in the evening and a quick top-up during the day

Charging. Charging is by USB-C, so the same cable you use for a phone or e-reader will work. A full charge typically takes somewhere between 60 and 90 minutes from low. A standard 5V phone charger or a computer USB port is fine. You do not need a fast charger, and a high-wattage fast charger offers no advantage because the device only draws the current its charging circuit allows. Use a good-quality cable. A frayed or loose cable is one of the main causes of slow or intermittent charging.

Charging safely. Built-in lithium batteries are safe when treated sensibly. Charge on a hard, flat, non-flammable surface rather than on a bed or sofa. Avoid leaving the device charging unattended overnight, and unplug it once the LED shows it is full. Do not charge a device that is hot to the touch, visibly swollen, damaged or wet, and do not leave it in a car on a warm day or in direct sun. If the body becomes unusually hot while charging, unplug it and stop using it.

Battery ageing and end of life. Like every rechargeable device, the cell loses some capacity over hundreds of charge cycles. Reduced run time after many months of heavy use is normal. When the device finally reaches the end of its life, do not put it in household rubbish or general recycling, because the lithium battery inside is a fire risk in collection vehicles and sorting plants. Take it to a vape-recycling drop-off point, which includes many vape shops, electrical retailers and your local household waste recycling centre. Your council website lists local options.

Coil and mesh technology

The coil is where the work happens, and the Ursa Cap uses a replaceable mesh-style coil inside its pod. Understanding what that means helps you pick the right liquid and get a longer, better-tasting life from each pod.

What mesh is. A traditional coil is a length of resistance wire wrapped around cotton. A mesh coil replaces that wire with a thin sheet of perforated metal, rolled or formed into a shape that wraps the cotton. Because the heating surface is much larger, liquid is vaporised over a wider area at a gentler temperature. The result is more even heating, faster ramp-up and, generally, cleaner flavour. Mesh also tends to resist the small hot spots that cause a coil to go dry in one patch and taste burnt.

Resistance and power. Pod coils for kits like this usually sit somewhere between 0.6 and 1.0 ohm, with the power delivered at around 10 to 20 watts. Lower resistance gives a warmer, denser vapour and slightly shorter coil life. Higher resistance gives a cooler, tighter hit. The exact value for the Ursa Cap pod is on the pack, and you should buy the matching replacement pod, not a coil from another system.

Choosing liquid for a mesh coil. Mesh draws liquid quickly, so liquid that is too thick can fail to keep up and cause a dry or harsh draw. A 50/50 or 60/40 VG/PG blend is a safe starting point. Very high VG liquids (70VG and above) are better suited to sub-ohm devices and can starve a small pod coil, particularly when the pod is nearly empty. Nicotine salts are normally formulated at roughly equal VG and PG, which is why they are such a natural fit here.

Priming a new coil. Cotton must be fully saturated before the first draw, or it will scorch and the pod will not recover. Fill the pod, leave it standing for around ten minutes, and then start with a few short, gentle draws before taking longer ones. Skipping this step is the most common cause of a burnt taste on a brand-new pod.

How long does a coil last? Typically one to three weeks, depending on use, flavour and nicotine strength. Sweet, sugary or dessert liquids build residue faster and shorten coil life, as does constant chain-vaping. Warning signs include a flat or muted taste, a slight burnt note and noticeably less vapour. When you see them, fit a fresh pod.

Nicotine strength guidance

Picking the right nicotine strength is the single most useful decision you make with a pod kit. Too low and you will keep reaching for the device and still feel unsatisfied. Too high and you get a harsh throat hit, light-headedness or nausea. The Ursa Cap is designed for nicotine salt e-liquid, which delivers nicotine more smoothly than traditional freebase liquid at the same strength.

The UK limit. In the UK, nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml, and the 20mg/ml ceiling also applied to disposable vapes before they were banned. Refill bottles are limited to 10ml. If a bottle is labelled with a higher strength, it does not meet UK rules and you should not buy it.

Doing the sums. A full 2ml pod of 20mg/ml liquid contains 40mg of nicotine in total. A full pod of 10mg/ml contains 20mg. Those totals are useful to bear in mind if you are trying to monitor or reduce your intake.

Strength guide for adult smokers switching to vaping

• 20mg/ml: usually the right place to start for people who smoked around 15 or more cigarettes a day, or who smoke first thing in the morning
• 10mg/ml to 18mg/ml: suits lighter smokers, people who smoked around 5 to 15 a day, and anyone who finds 20mg too strong
• 5mg/ml to 10mg/ml: suits social smokers, ex-smokers who are cutting down, and vapers who take frequent draws
• 0mg/ml: nicotine-free, for those who have finished with nicotine altogether and want to keep the habit and flavour

Signs you have it wrong. If you are chain-vaping and still craving, step up. If you feel dizzy, sweaty, jittery or nauseous after a few draws, or your throat is rough, step down. Give any new strength a few days before you decide, because your body takes time to settle.

Cutting down over time. A common route is to drop from 20mg/ml to 10mg/ml, then to 5mg/ml, and finally to nicotine-free. Shorter, fewer draws at the same strength are another approach. Neither is a medical programme, and anyone who wants structured help to stop smoking should speak to their GP, pharmacist or local stop smoking service.

Nicotine is addictive. Vaping is not risk-free, and it is for adults who already smoke or vape. If you do not currently use nicotine, do not start.

Who the Ursa Cap is for, and who should look elsewhere

No device suits everyone, and a clear view of fit saves money. The Ursa Cap is aimed at a particular kind of adult vaper, and it is better to know that up front.

It is a good match if you:

• Are an adult smoker looking for a cigarette-style, mouth-to-lung draw
• Used disposable vapes and want a refillable device now that disposables can no longer be sold
• Want a small, simple kit with no menus, buttons or wattage settings
• Care about how a device looks and want something with more character than a plain black stick
• Prefer nicotine salts and a smooth throat hit
• Want to pick your own flavours and change them freely

You may be better served by something else if you:

• Want big, dense clouds. A sub-ohm kit is a better route.
• Want to adjust airflow, power or voltage precisely. A kit with a screen and adjustable output will do that.
• Vape heavily all day and dislike topping up. A larger-battery kit with a bigger body would be more convenient, although UK pods are limited to 2ml.
• Have never used nicotine. This product is not for non-smokers or for anyone under 18.
• Are pregnant or have a medical condition and have not discussed vaping with a healthcare professional.

First-time vapers. If you are new to vaping, the Ursa Cap is a reasonable starting point because there is almost nothing to get wrong. You fill the pod, wait a few minutes, and draw. The main learning curve is choosing a liquid and a nicotine strength that suit you, which is covered in this guide.

Experienced vapers. If you already own a few pod kits, the Ursa Cap makes sense as a pocket device for days when you do not want to carry a larger kit. It also works as a second device in a different flavour so you do not have to flush a pod between profiles.

Gifts and shared use. Because the device is a personal, refillable item, it is better not to share it. Different people have different nicotine needs, and sharing a mouthpiece is poor hygiene. If you are buying for someone, make sure they are an adult who already vapes or smokes.

How to use the Lost Vape Ursa Cap

The Ursa Cap is simple, but a careful first fill makes a real difference to how long the pod lasts and how it tastes. Follow these steps for the first use and for every refill.

First use, step by step

• Charge first. Plug in the USB-C cable and give the battery a full charge before the first session. The LED will indicate when charging is complete.
• Remove the pod. Lift the pod straight out of the top of the body. Do not twist or pry at an angle.
• Open the fill port. Peel back or lift the silicone bung. Keep your fingers off the contact points and the inside of the pod.
• Fill carefully. Tilt the bottle and aim the nozzle at the side wall of the fill port, not straight down the central tube. Fill slowly to just below the maximum 2ml line. Do not overfill, because liquid forced into the airway causes leaking and gurgling.
• Close and wait. Press the bung back in fully, then let the filled pod stand for about ten minutes so the cotton saturates.
• Insert the pod. Push it firmly into the body until it seats.
• Draw. Start with a few short, gentle draws, then settle into your normal rhythm.

Everyday use. The device fires when you inhale, so you do not need to press anything. Draw slowly and evenly over two to three seconds. Hard, long drags force the coil to work harder than it needs to and shorten its life. Let the coil rest briefly between draws rather than chaining continuously.

Refilling. Refill when the liquid level drops to about a quarter of the pod. Letting the pod run completely dry risks scorching the cotton and ruining the coil. Wipe the pod and the contacts with a dry tissue if any liquid gets on them.

Cleaning. Wipe the mouthpiece with a clean, dry cloth or a lightly dampened one, and dry it fully. Do not soak the device, submerge it or use cleaning sprays. If liquid has leaked into the body, remove the pod, wipe the contacts and allow it to dry thoroughly before you use it again.

Storage and travel. Keep the device upright where possible, away from heat and out of the reach of children and pets. Take care with refill bottles, which should be kept closed and stored upright. If you are flying, check the airline's current rules on carrying vapes and batteries.

Troubleshooting common problems

Almost every pod-kit problem comes down to a handful of causes. Work through the relevant item below before you assume the device is faulty.

The device does not fire or only fires intermittently

• Check that the pod is fully seated. Remove it, check the contacts for liquid or residue, wipe them dry and push the pod back in firmly.
• Check the battery. A flat device will not fire, so charge it for at least 30 minutes and try again.
• If the pod is nearly empty or the coil is worn, replace the pod.

Burnt or harsh taste

• This usually means the cotton was not fully saturated, the pod ran low, or the coil is spent. Refill, rest the pod for ten minutes and try short draws.
• If the taste persists after a refill and a rest, fit a new pod. A coil that has scorched does not recover.

Leaking

• Overfilling is the most common reason. Fill to just below the maximum line and make sure the bung is fully seated.
• Pressure and temperature changes, such as a flight or leaving the device in a hot car, can force liquid out.
• Check the pod for cracks. If there is one, replace it.

Gurgling or liquid in your mouth

• Liquid has entered the airway. Remove the pod, blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear it, wipe it down and refit it.
• Fill more carefully next time, and try a slightly less runny liquid if it keeps happening.

Weak flavour or low vapour

• An ageing coil is the usual cause. Fit a new pod.
• Very thick liquid can restrict wicking. Try a 50/50 or 60/40 blend.
• If you recently changed flavour, the old taste can linger. Clear the pod as described in the flavour section.

Not charging, or charging slowly

• Try another cable and another power source. Cables wear out more often than devices.
• Clear the USB-C port of lint with a wooden or plastic toothpick. Do not use metal.

LED flashing

A flashing LED normally signals a low battery or a short-circuit or poor connection at the pod. Charge the device, re-seat the pod, and if the flashing continues, try a fresh pod before contacting support.

When to stop using it. If the device becomes unusually hot, swells, smells of burning or makes unusual sounds, stop using it, unplug it and move it somewhere safe. Do not try to repair it yourself. Contact us, and take the device to a battery recycling point instead of putting it in your household bin.

Value for money and running costs

The cost of a pod kit has two halves: the up-front price of the kit, and what it costs to keep running. Looking at both gives a clearer picture than the sticker price alone. Check the current price on this page, as it can change between promotions.

Up-front cost. The Ursa Cap kit includes the device, a pod and a charging cable. In the pod-kit market, it sits in the mid-range for a branded, well-finished device from an established manufacturer. You are paying partly for Lost Vape's design and build rather than only for a battery and a pod, which is worth weighing up against plainer alternatives.

Running costs, worked through. Using typical figures, a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt costs a few pounds and fills a 2ml pod around five times. At 300 to 500 puffs per pod, that works out to roughly 1,500 to 2,500 puffs per bottle. At an example bottle price of £3.50, that is about £1.40 to £2.30 per thousand puffs for liquid. Add the cost of replacement pods, which usually run to a few pounds each and last one to three weeks, and the ongoing spend stays well below that of buying a new device every few days.

Against disposables. Before the ban, a typical disposable sold for around £5 to £6 and delivered about 600 puffs, which is roughly £8 to £10 per thousand puffs, and then went in the bin. A refillable kit pays back its higher upfront cost quickly for anyone vaping daily, and it also produces far less waste.

Environmental cost. A reusable device with replaceable pods is a better fit with UK recycling expectations than a single-use product. Used pods, coils and eventually the device itself should go to a vape-recycling drop-off point, not the household bin, because they contain electronics and a battery. Many vape shops and local household waste recycling centres accept them.

What affects value for you.

• Vaping habits: heavy users get through more liquid and coils, which raises running costs.
• Liquid choice: premium liquids cost more per ml, though many good value options exist.
• Coil life: sweet liquids and chain-vaping shorten it.
• Care: avoiding drops and leaks extends the working life of the kit.

The honest summary is that the Ursa Cap is fairly priced for what it is: a compact, good-looking and straightforward kit. It is not the cheapest option available, and it does not try to be.

How it compares with other pod kits

The pod-kit market is crowded, and several established names compete for the same buyer. Comparing honestly means admitting that other kits do some things differently and, in some cases, with more features. Here is how the Ursa Cap sits against the devices people most often cross-shop it with.

Versus the Vaporesso XROS range. XROS devices are popular, sold widely and supported by a broad range of replacement pods and coil options. Several models in the range add features such as adjustable output or airflow, depending on the version. If you want to adjust settings, check the XROS model you are considering. The Ursa Cap's advantage is its simplicity and its distinctive finish, and it makes sense for people who do not want to adjust anything.

Versus the OXVA Xlim range. The Xlim series has a long track record and a wide choice of pods and coils, plus a large community of users who share tips. That ecosystem is a real advantage if you like to experiment. The Ursa Cap offers fewer coil choices, but a more compact feel and a design with more character.

Versus the Uwell Caliburn range. Caliburn kits are well known for easy, no-fuss use and a strong reputation among beginners. They compete directly on simplicity. Which one feels better comes down to ergonomics, finish and the pods on offer, and a sensible way to decide is to compare the current specifications and prices side by side.

Versus the Voopoo Vmate range. Vmate devices target the same casual, switching-from-smoking user and also come in a range of colours. Both ranges offer a similar draw style, so the decision often comes down to look, feel and price on the day.

Where the Ursa Cap does well

• Compact, pocketable body with a distinctive Galaxy Star finish
• Plug-and-play operation with no settings to learn
• Mesh-style coil for even flavour
• USB-C charging
• Backed by a brand with a long record in the vape hardware market

Where rivals can have an edge

• Some competing ranges offer a wider choice of pods, pre-filled options or third-party coils
• Some provide adjustable airflow or power modes
• Some have larger batteries or longer-running pod designs

Specifications and features change from model to model and year to year, so always check the current spec sheet of any kit you are comparing. As a rule of thumb: choose the Ursa Cap if you value looks, simplicity and mesh flavour in a small body. Choose something else if you want adjustability or the widest range of accessories.
