Howdy everyone!
My name is Debbie and I’m new here.
My lungs are in horrible condition, after smoking for 45 years and being left with what is now very severe Stage 4 COPD. I’ve been at this stage for going on 6 years now. I have many exacerbations and infections with difficulty breathing. Sadly, I’m only 62. So, I’ve recently been vaping and began the first part of November 2021. I had about 14 cigarettes in November, about 4 in December and 1 this month. At one time, I smoked over 2 packs a day for many years. But, when I started vaping, it was around a pack a day. I’ve been mostly ill since vaping and would like input from other users. Is it possible that vaping is harder on my lungs than smoking or is there something I may be missing; something I’m doing wrong? Thank you all so much! Hope you’re all having a great evening!

Hello, and welcome back to another one of my reviews. We'll be taking a quick look at the Marvos RTA Mesh Pod made by Freemax which is a rebuildable deck made specifically for the Marvos series. I'll save my remarks for the end of the review where I break things down a bit and give a general build tutorial for rebuildable mesh decks which I believe is key in avoiding common mistakes which prevent them from performing their best.

First off, I'll link a basic overview from Freemaxvape.com to give you a broad look at what you can expect from this rebuildable pod.



Package Contents:

• Marvos RTA Pod (3.5 mL for Standard/US, 2 mL for TPD)
• 6 mm Cotton Wick
• User Manual
• Accessories Package Containing:

Pod Tank Specs:

• Dimensions: 27 mm diameter (in widest spot) * 42.5 mm height
• Tank Capacity: 3.5 mL (for Standard & US) /TPD holds 2 mL

Pod Compatibility:
This pod can be used directly in conjunction with the Marvos 60W, T, and 80W (2nd, 3rd, and far right mods shown above respectively). If you happened to have purchased or are planning on purchasing the Marvos S (far left in the picture above), this kit comes with a 510 adapter as part of the external 18650 Side-by-Side mod. The 510 adapter in the kit allows this pod to be used on any 510 compatible mod which is great if you're looking for a mod with higher battery capacity than a single 18650 battery. Unfortunately, the Marvos RTA Pod does not come with a 510 adapter, so a separate purchase of the Marvos DTL Pod Tank would be necessary to utilize this on a different mod. I would highly recommend the Marvos DTL Pod Tank and/or any of the kits listed above because the MS-series coils used in them are absolutely stellar in flavor and coil life. The Marvos RTA rebuildable pod just adds to the delight of this wonderful series and gives rebuilders the option to enjoy them while saving money.


Easy DIY:
Whether you're new to rebuilding or a veteran, this kit is very easy to get up and running. I'll be posting a build tutorial link below that's particular to this kit, but can also be used in general for most mesh rebuildable decks to optimize their performance.


Refilling:
The silicone refill plug is durable and easy to pull out and hold back while refilling. It's located on the bottom of the tank shown above which does mean the pod needs to be removed before refilling. However, this is rather painless and best of all, it's leak free!


Avoid Spitback:
The 810 Drip Tip is V-shaped, helping to prevent spitback from the coil. Nobody likes a mouth full of boiling vape juice on the inhale, which this drip tip does a wonderful job of preventing.


Dual Topside Airflow:
The airflow control ring is situated at the top more or less guaranteeing that no juice leaks from this pod. The airflow ranges from a true MTL when fully closed (not recommended if you don't want to cause flooding) to a very open and airy vape when fully open.


Strong Magnets:
The pod is held in with strong magnets to prevent it from popping out. You can pick a Marvos kit up by this RTA Pod without worry of the mod dropping however, I wouldn't shake it when doing this.


I only have a few gripes about this RTA Pod package. Assuming you already own the Marvos 60W, 80W, T, or S, everything you need comes in this package to use this RTA. The Marvos S however, is the only full kit that currently comes with a Marvos 510 adapter, which will be needed if you plan on using this RTA as a stand-alone atomizer on any 510 mod. You can also purchase the Marvos DTL Pod Tank as a cheaper option. Otherwise, this RTA pod works perfectly in any of the kits mentioned above as a pod. I hope they consider putting a 510 adapter in with this kit in the future for universal use of this wonderful RTA.

The only other thing I'd recommend, and this is maybe more of a preference, would be to make the tank slightly taller, and to have an available bubble glass (or PCTG) option for a larger tank volume than 3.5 mL. The look would resemble the popular Damn Vape Doom X Mesh RTA that holds a whopping 8 mL of juice. I feel like I'm constantly filling this RTA, but that's because most of the tanks I use are at least 5 mL, and I've been vaping this RTA like mad.


The Marvos RTA disassembles into 4 pieces; the 810 drip tip, the chamber cap, the deck, and the PCTG glass. The 810 drip tip (bottom left picture) is made of delrin and has two O-rings on it.

The top cap pictured in the bottom middle picture is where the drip tip is seated. It also has a clear O-ring itself, which seals the drip tip very well. I've noticed this more and more with newer atomizers and drip tips, they seem to seep vape moisture over time, often showing up as leaks between the drip tip and the top cap. Three O-rings should help prevent this. You can also use your own 810 drip tip if you so wish.

The bottom side of the deck shown in the bottom right picture contains the refill port covered by a silicone plug. The plug is quite durable, so no worries of it tearing off, and it's very easy to remove.

The tutorial link for wicking this particular mesh deck is posted here on imgur, but can be used for virtually all rebuildable mesh decks. I will keep this link up, so you are free to bookmark it for future reference if you're new to rebuildable mesh decks, or you think you might be interested in them down the road. Most mesh decks can also accommodate regular wire coils using the same clamps to secure the wire leads/legs. I heavily favor mesh decks simply for the available options in its versatility - dual coil is even possible with a creative mind.
One thing to note with this RTA when putting the chamber/cap on top of the deck when reassembling, is to make sure the studs or nipples shown in the right picture (there are 2 of them, directly across from one another) line up with the slots notched out in the deck. I had to sort of wiggle the cap back and forth a bit to get it to snap into these grooves.
The tank can be deceiving when looking in through the PCTG frosted plastic to see how much juice you have left. The picture on the left shows it sitting flat on my desk. The next picture to the right shows how much juice is in it when tipped to the side. And to the right of that, how much juice is actually left in the tank. When refilling this pod, tilt it at about a 45 degree angle with the refill hole rotated toward the top to get the best idea of how full the tank is. Otherwise, you'll find yourself thinking it's completely full, and then flipping it over to start vaping and realize you only filled it about 2/3 of the way.

Lastly, from left to right, the pod seats nicely in the Marvos 60W pod mod; I can only assume it fits just as well in the Marvos 80W and T. If you've purchased the Marvos S kit, that gives you the 510 adapter shown in the second picture (the mod pictured here is the Freemax Maxus 100W). Popping it on and off of that is very convenient for refilling - no need to twist the atomizer off and on. I should note that on press-fit 510 connector plates (often noticeable by the lack of torx screws in the connector plate or on the side), the magnets on this RTA may stress the 510 connector pulling it off and on. I would suggest holding the 510 adapter with one hand while removing the pod with the other to alleviate this additional stress.

In the picture on the far right, you'll notice lots of air bubbles. Makes sure your tanks (all tanks) are producing these little bubbles. If they are not showing up when vaping and you start to get dry hits, that's a huge indication that capillary action is not taking place w/in the wick. Air needs to replace the juice you are vaporizing, or it will create suction preventing your juice from being wicked properly.


I received the Marvos RTA in the same package I got the Freemax Maxus Max for review. I set up and wicked this pod about a week ago, and have been exclusively vaping on it. I'm a sucker for mesh decks, and this pod has turned out to be quite a gem. It performs as well or better (because there's absolutely no leaking) than many of the other mesh rebuildables I own such as the Vapefly Siegfried Mesh RTA (favorite mesh RTA), Wotofo Profile 1.5 RDTA, Exvape Expromizer, Damn Vape Doom X, Wotofo Profile PS, Oumier Wasp King, and GeekVape Zeus X Mesh (I think I'm forgetting a few). Anyway, my point being, this is a great performing mesh RTA. It's very simple to build, and as Freemax's first rebuildable mesh deck, I think they did an outstanding job on it.

I never got around to vaping the 0.15Ω mesh strip simply because the 0.25Ω strip is still going. I've vaped about 20-25 mL of juice through it so far, and the coil, wick, and flavor are showing now signs of decline. With the 0.25Ω coil, I've found the best flavor and airflow to my liking was vaping it at 40-45 Watts, with the airflow being between 1/3 and 1/2 open. On some of the more open airflow settings, I did notice a small tendency for there to be a bit of a whistle.


Pros:

• Very smooth and great tasting vape
• Easy to build on
• Extremely fast ramp up time
• Airflow ranges from a true MTL to a wide open DL vape (very rare)
• No leaks - top airflow
• Airflow ring is easy to move; possibly too easy to move
• Drip tip is sealed nicely with 3 active O-rings
• Drip tip is V-shaped preventing spitback
• PCTG frosted plastic tank will easily withstand drops
• Useable on Freemax pod mods & any 510 mods with 510 adapter
• Pod magnets are quite strong, but pops in and out very easily
• Comes with an additional set of O-rings, phillips head grub screws, phillips head driver, mesh coil, and 6 mm cotton
• Mesh coils can be vaped at lower Wattages than round or wire coils meaning longer battery life
• Juice level is fairly easy to see, even through the frosted PCTG plastic - tip upside down for a more accurate indication
• Easy to disassemble/reassemble - not a lot of moving parts

Cons:

• Doesn’t come with a 510 adapter
• Airflow can be a tad bit whistly in its more open positions
• No bubble glass available (limited to 3.5 mL)
• Coil clamps are not spring-loaded which might prove to be more difficult to deal with for new mesh rebuilders

Concluding Comments:

I want to thank @Freemax_Jerry and the Freemax team for sending me this wonderful RTA. The entire Marvos line has impressed me, and this is no exception.

If you're new to mesh rebuildables, don't give up on them right away. There are a few tricks that are pertinent in getting the right vape, but after you hit the sweet spot, I think you will be hooked.

I hoped this review has helped you in some way. If you have questions, comments, or recommendations, please feel free to PM me or ask below. The Freemax Marvos RTA Pod can be purchased here on Freemaxvape.com as well as various other outlets.

Happy belated holidays, and may your resolutions stick if you made them. It's really a question of discipline.

Stay off them stinkies.

Happy vape hoarding!

I had 3 ischemic strokes since 2017. I gave up smoking an vaping in 2017. And like a dummy gave away all my juices and equipment. From what I can tell, things have different names now. I also deleted all my old vaping websites. Can anyone give me a brief education in 2022? Thank you.

These tests below only note my personal ESTIMATED ratings for the batteries I tested at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, or Sanyo can change at any time! This is one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.

Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of property damage, personal injury, or even death. They are not supposed to be used outside of a fully protected battery pack and you use them at your own risk. Never exceed the battery’s true continuous current rating and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition.

Testing batteries at their limits is dangerous and should never be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved, understands the risks, has the proper equipment, and takes all appropriate safety precautions.

If the battery has only one current rating number, or if it only says "max", then I have to assume the battery is rated at that current level for any type of discharge, including continuous.




Test Results
EVE is one of the large, established cell manufacturers in China (EVE). This is a cell for low power applications and where lower cost is a priority over performance, e.g., powerbanks, powerwalls, and larger PEV battery packs.

At 5A and higher this cell performs essentially the same as the EVE 26V - 7.5A 2550mAh. At these higher power levels this cell’s higher internal resistance means more voltage sag. This extra voltage sag nullifies the extra capacity this cell has. If you are down at one or two amps then this cell would run for a bit longer than the 26V due to the 29V’s higher capacity.

While this cell’s low current rating means it has limited use for vaping and esk8 applications I think it could be a decent cell for large e-bike packs, powerbanks, and other low power uses if you can find it for a lower price than cells from the big manufacturers.

The standard charge rate is only 0.56A and the fast/rapid charge rate is 2.8A. Never charge this cell at above 2.8A.

The cycle life rating in the datasheet is decent but I have not tested it.

The two cells I tested delivered 2758mAh and 2783mAh. This is typical consistency for cells I’ve seen from the larger China cell manufacturers but is below the 29V’s minimum capacity rating of 2800mAh. Since I cannot have the lowest capacity cells in the batch I am rating them at 2700mAh.

Two cells were purchased for testing by me.

UNBOXING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS


Packaging of the Marvos RTA Pod is very basic with the pod sitting in a plastic tray with everything that comes in the kit underneath the tray. The spare O-rings , 2 extra
clamp screws, 2 pieces of mesh strips, cotton, tiny blue screwdriver, user manual and your warranty card.

How long has it been since seeing a blue screwdriver in a bag of extras, (anyway) the pod is a silver color because that's all that is offered right now with a frosted plastic globe that is in a bubble style, (LOOKS GOOD).




Opening up the pod to see the build deck is done with a 1/4 turn revealing a clamp mount system that is not spring loaded although the ceramic block that the cotton sits on is.

Freemax went with a raised deck style , I could see a lot of tail thinning was going to be needed because of the size of the wick slots, they could have been larger but with some thinning they work just fine.

I disassembled the RTA and put it in a ultrasonic cleaner with hot water and Dawn dishwashing liquid. Here are the 4 individual pieces including the drip tip.





Getting the Mesh strips to sit even was a bit of a chore because the clamps are not spring mounted which makes it easier to install the mesh strip.

After clamping the strip down it was time to glow the mesh strip just a little to burn off any oils remaining from manufacturing, set the wattage to 10 or 12 watts and just pulse the fire button a few times to get a small glow, that's all that's needed to dry burn the mesh strip, you want to see a nice even glow throughout the mesh.





Using mesh is a totally different animal in a RTA than regular coils, getting a dry hit from mesh is actually painful so make sure every piece of the mesh strip makes contact with cotton, you really want to have more than you think you need, having a spring loaded ceramic block really helps in the wicking process.

Taper one end and put it through the bend of mesh, press down when pulling the cotton through, your tails should be about 1/2 mm past the base, after cutting at 1/2mm you will want to trim off the tail of excess cotton at a 45° angle, you may even have to trim further with angled cuts if the cotton wont slide in the wick slots easily ( never pack it in the slots ). A good rule of thumb is to paint the mesh and cotton tails thoroughly before putting the deck on the pod/tank. Remember a dry hit on mesh is ( PAINFUL )!!!







After the pod and deck are connected lift up the bottom fill plug and fill slowly, there is not a lot of room for your bottle tip inside the pod and the hole could have been made larger for more air to escape. Freemax also includes a quick start booklet for you that's in the box also.







One of my favorite mods in the Marvos line is the beautiful Marvos S and that's right where it sits now, I have tried both mesh strips and prefer the 0.25 just because it preserves battery life by not needing as much wattage, flavor is pretty much the same on both mesh strips ( very good ). If you wick this mesh RTA Pod correctly you can chain vape it with no problem as my bubbles show, It keeps up wonderfully.





USING THE RTA POD ATOMIZER


It's nice to see Freemax come out with another RTA Atomizer and it's really nice this one works on all Marvos devices. Mesh styled RTA's are very flavorful but cotton rewicking takes place more than traditional coils so there not for everyone.

The Marvos RTA Pod has worked just fine for me and being able to chain vape it if wicked correctly is a big plus, it simply keeps up and always stays saturated with juice.

I have 2 cons for the RTA, airflow is very turbulent when airflow is wide openwith a bit of a whistle coming through. This is a very airy pod opened all the way, closing the airflow down to halfway is a big improvement in performance but the wooshy sound still remains.

The 2nd con is there is not much room to get your juice bottle tip in before it hits the outer barrel, being this close does not leave room for air to escape when filling so you must fill it slowly or the juice will back up. Being a bottom fill RTA could be a con for some but in this application I see no other option but bottom fill.

I would like to thank Tina and Freemax for providing the Marvos RTA Pod for the purpose of this review, I hope my review helped anyone looking to purchase one.


THANK YOU

Hey folks..

I'm looking for a tiny side by side because of the form factor and how stealthy they are, but I want a cleanable glass tank, not a pod. But it sort of looks like the VooPoo Drag Nano or Ak2 are my only choices..

Or are there any side by sides that work well with a nautilus mini or other quality mini tanks?

Thanks!

Hello once again and welcome to today's review of a Squonk Kit from Lost Vape. As the title opening says this is the Centaurus BF Kit with Lost Vape entering the RDA market with their first RDA included with the kit. I will tell you immediately that this kit is a real looker with it's stunning appearance but appearance alone does not make a device or kit for that matter, has Lost Vape hit the mark with this kit that by the way can be used as a regular mod as well with a unique feature that's included also. I'll give you my findings on this kit in my review but first lets see what the Lost Vape Centaurus Quest BF Squonk Kit is all about.

UNBOXING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS


Packaging is very nice with the content box sliding out out a outer shell as most do, lifting off the top of the box reveals the Centaurus mod with the RDA already installed on it in a plastic tray, below the tray sits the 2nd juice bottle, charge cord, 18650 battery adapter, 2nd drip tip, spare O-rings, 2 solid 510 pins, user manual and warranty card.

I received the SS Ukiran leather that is done in a breathtaking Blue color that really impressed me. The first thing I wanted to see was Lost Vapes first RDA and see if there were any new RDA designs with it. At first glance after pulling the top barrel off I noticed this was going to be a very simple and easy RDA to build and wick because it has a velocity type of coil connection, but the airflow design was different, more about that in a bit. The 2nd bottle has a tiny silicone cap that's attached to the bottle that prevents spillage from the it after your finished filling a tank or dripping on a RDA. (Handle with care, very tiny connecter).





First and foremost was breaking down the RDA to it's 4 individual pieces including the drip tip for a warm bath of Dawn and water, I say it all the time and I'm going to say it again folks, clean your new atomizers before using them, the RDA appeared clean when I disassembled it but faint machine oil is always a possibility. After cleaning I laid out the 4 components of the RDA for you to see them in before reassembly.





As you can see the Centaurus RDA is a Velocity style RDA for coil leg attachment, being a top to bottom airflow type there are some turns that the airflow makes before hitting the coil on a slant from the bottom up, in the above picture you can see the 2 protruding airflow funnels on the inside of the outer barrel that connect to the 2 on the deck, also note the 2 tiny tabs on the deck that connect to the outer barrel's 2 cutouts inside it.

I decided on a Triple Core Fused Clapton coil at 3.0mm that came out at 0.31Ω. This is such a easy deck to build on and wick, when deciding on coil placement I found the best results are to center the coil and raise it to where the top of the coil is even with the top of both post. Airflow hits the coil at a angle and this position has the airflow hitting the coil at the bottom and middle of it. Because the air channels are far apart from each other I would recommend using a 3mm or 3.5mm coil.





Wicking the RDA is also a easy process, after the cotton is installed in the coil thin out a bit and fluff the tails then cut the tails at the base, this gives you plenty of fluffy cotton to place in the wells. I would test the squonk function and after you see it working correctly paint the coil and wicks set your wattage and pulse the coil and repaint a few times to break the coil in.

I think this RDA is a very nice match with the gorgeous mod and the clear drip tip gives it a nice accent along with the Centaurus logo. I can't tell you if the carbon fiber on the device is real or not but it looks and feels like it is. As you look through the pictures in my review you will see Lost Vape kept branding to a minimum of 2 placements.







On the bottom is where the battery compartment cover and squonk bottle covers are, the battery cover has the flip up handle as many devices that have bottom battery installations do, the squonk bottle cover next to it is very small and a bit of a pain trying to grasp it to unscrew for filling, mine takes 6 twist to unscrew but the battery cover takes 10 twist, I'm not a big fan of this type of battery cover but they are secure and proven over time to work well. 3 venting holes are also on the cover. Be careful not to lose the squonk bottle cap because it's so small it can easily happen.

The bottle can be filled while it's installed on the mod or when it's off, to remove the bottle from the mod just pull down from the top or bottom of the bottle and it just slides off a rail. Installing the bottle back on the mod is just as easy and clicks into place at the end of it's ride back up the rail.







I think Lost Vape had a great idea with the 2nd bottle because some people will want to use a different atomizer from time to time whether it be another RDA or a Tank but still use the mod, this way they can.

The 2nd bottle installs with the bottle side being placed inward toward the mod and having the hard plastic side facing outward. There is a tiny cap on the fill end that is secured to the bottle, how long this cap stays secured to the bottle remains to be seen, it is very tiny and thin (be gentle with it) but you can see it in the picture below.





The side of the device is where the squonking action takes place and the way the layout is makes this a very ergonomic squonk device, with the leather spine nestled in the crook of your hand your index finger lines up perfectly with the fire button leaving your middle finger placed right on the squonk bottle for a perfect position to press the bottle. Lost Vape really did a great job designing the device, everything just lines up perfectly in your hand. The fire button hits very fast with no delay whatsoever, I like the way it's angled and not flat, it's strictly for looks and I like it.

One thing that I forgot to mention earlier about the RDA is the airflow adjustment control is the top cap, there is a arrow above each airflow slot pointing up toward it. With the few 90° turns the airflow takes to get to the coil some turbulence is present but very little, flavor is very good but with a more direct route of airflow I think it would be even better. Not bad for a first RDA.






I'm so glad the Quest 2.0 chipset is in the Centaurus device because I think other than a DNA chipset the Quest 2.0 is the best as of this date because it is so easy to navigate, OHMS are spot on, immediately fires, 3 user presets, six different color display screens, brightness adjustment, atomizer measure setting, and gives the user every power mode they could ask for with 8 power modes.

The front of the device has all your controls and type-c charge port under the colored display screen with the up button being on top and the down button being on the bottom and a dedicated menu button in between them . There is a angular design at the top of the face plate that looks nice by giving it a faceted look.

USING THE CENTAURUS QUEST BF KIT


I'm pretty sure that by now you know how much I enjoy this kit. Right off the bat it's beauty really captivated me and having the Quest 2.0 chipset which in my opinion is the best one out there as of today's date other than a DNA of course. The Quest 2.0 chipset has every feature you could want. I don't use temp control so I cant tell you how accurate it is in that department.

The options of this chip really hit the mark with a bullseye every time and this was no different. The way the buttons and bottle placement line up in my hand are perfect when finger firing the device or turning it around and thumb firing it.

Using a rail system for both bottles works very well and it secures the bottle with a click letting you know it's in place, providing a 2nd bottle that installs with the soft silicone going on the inside and having the hard plastic side facing out that matches the mod for refilling a different atomizer you wish to use that's not bottom fed through a hollow 510. It's a huge plus having the ability to use the mod in non squonk mode if you wish to.

I tell you folks this squonk mod is almost perfect except for the tiny bottle cover that for me is a pain to open because of my rather large hands and fingers.

I think Lost Vape did a great job on their first RDA, flavor is very good and would have been even better if the airflow didn't have the few turns in it's route to hitting the coil, also it would have provided a smoother airflow as well.

Building and wicking on the deck is a breeze making so user friendly, just remember to raise your coil to meet the airflow that is slanted upward, having the top of your coil even with both post gives the best performance for flavor.

There is a lot of space between both airflow post so I recommend using a 3mm or larger coil for a better experience.

In the time that I have been using this kit I have not had a leak from the bottle or RDA, it helps that the airflow post are high preventing a over squonk. A word of caution is not to squonk just before refilling the bottle because the RDA will be upside down and any excess juice sitting in the wells will spill out.

So in closing I will highly recommend this kit to you all, just about every feature you would want in a mod is in the Centaurus Quest BF Kit, and for their first RDA I commend Lost Vape on job well done. It's a winner folks!!!

I read there is one that holds 8 ml but I don't recall the name. Does anyone which tank holds the most juice?

Hi I'm trying to get the right adjustments to my new voopoo drag S and I had used a few nord mods but never liked those as much
So next few questions I finally could get flavor and an enjoyable drag off my voopoo going at 40 watts with 50/50 salt nic juice head brand but I know that's not the correct option ‍ I was using 1.20 T1 coils anyways lowered it in my 0.3 coil burning at 35 watts still can't get much flavors out of it ‍ any suggestions on how to get more flavor out of my voopoo drag s please?

Hello and welcome back for yet another review by yours truly. Today I will be taking a look at the Lost Vape Thelema Solo 100W Kit that was sent to me by Lost Vape in order to provide this review for you. The Solo is yet another great mod in the Lost Vape line that uses the Quest 2.0 chip that many of us have come to like very much and has been used in previous releases such as the Centaurus BF, Thelema 200W, Ursa, Grus, and Cyborg. The Solo plays off of the Thelema design as far as appearance and has a C frame for battery loading which I like very much. The kit includes the same UB Pro pod tank which is in fact a great performer but I feel like it’s time for Lost Vape to come out with a new tank or even an RTA to pair with the kits. Either way, I don’t think you will be disappointed if you decide to try this kit. Let’s take a look and see what’s included and look at some specifications then I’ll talk about my experiences with it.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:

The packaging for the Thelema Solo arrived in normal Lost Vape style. The white box with black writing and picture of the device inside on the front has become their signature design in my mind. As usual the package contents are on the back of the box along with a security code.

I know I’ve mentioned this once or twice before but like how Lost Vape wraps their mods in a protective cover for shipping. It’s that little extra bit of care that helps to set them apart. One other thing I liked and didn’t notice until opening the Solo was how the accessory box has the contents listed on the box so you know whether you even need to open that box or not to get you started. I personally did not since I have a ton of charging cables and intended on running the mod with a 21700.







I have the Thelema Quest as well as the Thelema DNA250C and feel like Lost Vape did a fantastic job keeping with the Thelema design and aesthetics. On one side is the Lost Vape name while on the opposite side is Thelema Solo. I received the stainless steel carbon fiber version so on the back of the mod is a carbon fiber covering with very little padding. A very attractive looking combination in my opinion.

The carbon fiber covering is part of the C frame battery cover. I like very much that they decided to go with this type of battery cover instead of a screw on battery cap on the bottom like some of their previous mods. To me this helps to keep the feel of the original Thelema design. You can see in the picture below that once the cover is removed that the battery polarity is clearly marked.







The front of the mod will look familiar to you if you have used any of the recent releases from Lost Vape in the Quest line of devices. This mod as well as a handful of previous mods released by Lost Vape uses the Quest 2.0 chipset. In my opinion it is a close runner up to the DNA chipset.

The large square fire button is near the top of the device followed by the vibrant display screen as well as the +, menu, and – buttons. Near the bottom of the mod face is the USB-C fast charging port. The display screen shows the following information.

- Coil resistance and battery percentage on top

- Mode of operation( Power, Bypass, Voltage, VPC, Ni, Ti, SS316, SS904)

- Wattage or temperature set

- Pod or Mod mode and user profile

- Normal/ Soft/ Hard operation mode and puff counter

- Setting on bottom that takes you into the menu system


The solos offers five modes of operation:

1. VPC Mode

2. BYPASS Mode

3. Wattage Mode (with soft, norm, and hard preheat level options),

4. Voltage Mode

5. Temperature Control Mode (SS904/SS316/Ti/Ni)


Inside the settings menu there are more options. They are:


- Atomizer( tells atomizer resistance and current settings)

- Screen( adjust screen brightness)

- User( three settable user profiles)

- Reset

- About( shows software version)



3 User Records

Allows you to create presets of different modes and easily switch between 3 user records while using normal coil, TC coil and RBA.


The Solo just like the other mods using the Quest 2.0 chip offers multiple safety features.

MULTIPLE PROTECTIONS:

①Short-Circuit Protection

②Weak Battery Protection

③Over Heat Protection

④10 seconds over-time protection





If you choose to get the full kit then it will include the UB Pro pod tank that has been released for some time now and was included with prior kits. I won’t go into great detail on the pod tank since I’ve covered it in my previous reviews. I will say that this tank is a great performer for flavor and vapor production whether it’s using the included coils or the optional rba. The included coils are the following.

UB Pro P1 Coil 0.15Ω

Coil resistance: 0.15Ω Mesh Coil

Rate: 70-90W

Available for DL



UB Pro P3 Coil 0.3Ω

Coil resistance: 0.3Ω Mesh Coil

Rate: 60-70W / 260-290℃ / 500-550℉

Available for DL


Also available as a separate purchase is the RBA which in my opinion works very well and is definitely worth the purchase price.

UB Pro RBA Deck

Resistance Range: 0.15-3.0 Ω

For DIY



FINAL THOUGHTS:

I feel like the Thelema Solo 100W kit is yet another great offering from Lost Vape. It kept with the design and aesthetics of the previous Thelema models while bringing the new feel of a thinner single battery version that will allow you to use either an 18650 with the included adapter or a 21700 for extended battery life. It seems to me that the Quest 2.0 chipset does a pretty good job of power management and felt like I got very long battery life with the 21700 battery being used.

I very much like the C frame design for battery replacement more so than the previous threaded cap design that has become very popular across different brands of mods. I do have to say that the unit I received had a little movement in the battery cover. It wasn’t terrible but if I shifted it in my hand the right way then I did get a little shifting from the cover.

The UB Pro tank and coils are tried and proven time after time to provide very good flavor and vapor production in my opinion. I personally prefer the .3 ohm coils and that is what I have chosen to stock up on. If you are one that doesn’t like to stock coils then the RBA is a great option. It is a fairly large unit which makes it easier to build compared to most that I’ve tried. Not only is it easy to build but also provides superior flavor whether you use a simple round wire coil or some other exotic coil.

I’d like to thank Lost Vape and Antonia for sending the Lost Vape Thelema Solo 100W kit for this review. Of course, a big thanks to all the readers. I know a lot of you don’t post comments but still appreciate you taking the time to read my reviews. Below is a link to the Lost Vape website if you’d like to take a look. They offer a wide variety of devices and I haven’t tried a bad one yet.
