► First impressions:
The Centaurus family of Lost Vape expands with the introduction of a new BF squonk kit. The Centaurus BF Mod can be powered by 3 different types of batteries (18650-20700-21700) and can reach an output power of up to 100W. The valid Quest 2.0 chipset is the same that equips the Grus Mod V2 with 5 different vaping modes; wattage / VPC / bypass / voltage / TC mode.

The construction materials and the finishes of the Kit are of an excellent level as Lost Vape has been accustomed to us for some time, also in the Kit they are present; a module to transform the BF mod into a classic Mod, a spare squonk tank, an adapter for 18650 batteries and a rich supply of spare orings for both Centaurus Quest BF Mod and Centaurus Solo RDA. The "rebuildable" single-coil tank is the first of this kind produced by Lost vape and is suitable for the type of RDL / DL vape.

The peculiarity of Centaurus Quest BF Mod is to integrate an interesting and optimally designed 2 in 1 "squonk & storage" system ... This allows you to quickly and effectively transform the Mod BF into a classic Mod, suitable for hosting any other Tank or RTA. This rapid transformation simply requires you to slide down the pre-installed BF squonk system and replace it with the cover present in the package. The sliding rail system with interlocking is highly qualitative, without imperfections, precise and solid in the connection of both modules inside the Mod. The BF bottles have a beautiful metal tip with sealing o-ring for a lossless connection.

► Design:
The form factor of Centaurus Quest BF Kit is of a classic type and is reminiscent of that of a medium-sized dual 18650 Mod. The dimensions are therefore rather small for a BF 21700 system and this is certainly due to the fact that Centaurus Mod houses the display and the control keys on the side with the exception of the Fire key which is located at the front in a convenient position together with the squonk system. The weight of the Mod is around 160g, the quality materials with the decorations in real leather and real carbon make the kit pleasant both to the eye and in the hand during use.

The view of Centaurus Quest BF Kit is very captivating from all points of view; the control panel is strategically placed laterally to reduce the overall dimensions. The control panel protrudes from the side profile for about 3.5mm, the contro panel includes ; the beautiful 0.96 "color display, the" + "and" - "adjustment keys, the Mode button for quick navigation within the operating menu and the USB-C charging socket.
On the other panel there is a rough and thick decoration in carbon fiber, very sporty and pleasant to the touch, which blends well with the rest of the materials used that aggressively characterize the beautiful overall design of Centaurus BF Mod.

The front and rear sections have a small diameter of only 28mm, the front part has an extremely clean and sober design, it houses the metal Fire key at the top, rather comfortable to reach with the fingers. At the bottom, in an equally comfortable position, there is the silicone "bottle" of the squonk, soft at the right point and slightly protruding for better tactile feedback.

On the back, the soft genuine leather handle with its "leaf" art theme also partially extends to the sides of the Mod and turns out (to me) to be one of the most beautiful decorations seen so far in a vape device.

The 510 threaded plate is raised slightly to avoid scratches to the paint and is large enough to hold tanks up to 26mm in diameter with no protrusions. The stainless steel plate is held in place on the Mod by three torx screws.

On the bottom of Centaurus Quest BF Mod we can see the access cap to the battery compartment made of stainless steel, the cap is equipped with 3 vent holes and a liftable handle for opening / closing operations, in the compartment it is possible to install three different types of batteries; 21700, 20700 and 18650 with adapter supplied.
The refill system from the bottom is quite ingenious and consists of a small steel cap, the hole below is generously sized and allows you to quickly insert up to 9.5ml of e-liquid. The thread on both caps is quite smooth and free of jams.

► Centaurus Solo RDA:
The new Solo RDA single coil, (the first from Lost Vape) can be purchased separately here: Centaurus Solo RDA | Lost Vape and is available in 5 different colors.

► Centaurus RDA only; Specifications:
• Brand: Lost Vape
• Product name: Centaurus RDA only
• Size: 24 * 31mm
• Material: Stainless steel
• Air flow: Adjustable
• Capacity: 1.2ml
• Drip Tip: 810 replaceable
• Coil type: Single

► Available Colors:
• Black
• SS
• Gunmetal
• Gold
• Blue

Lost Vape Solo RDA single coil is equipped with several spare o-rings, among the spare parts we find; a transparent Drip-Tip, two screws for tightening the coils and two gold-plated pins (not drilled) for use in the dripper style of the tank.

Only RDA is essentially composed of 3 main elements (top cap, bell and deck) that fit together perfectly, the numerous o-rings effectively protect against e-liquid leakage.

The regulation of the "infinite" air flow occurs effortlessly by rotating the top-cap which also adopts notches to improve grip. Present on the bell there are two opposing air passage slots that have a maximum opening of 6x3mm, therefore suitable for a type of RDL / DL Vape. The external Airflows communicate with two internal ducted openings that are made in the deck, these ducts are used to conduct the air flow towards the side and lower part of the coil, investing it abundantly.

The velocity-style deck greatly facilitates the construction of our coil, just insert the legs and tighten the screws on the top of the turrets, and then cut the excess. In "squonk" mode, the liquid passes through a hole in the center of the deck to feed the cotton whiskers lying on the bottom. For this test I used a 3mm diameter 0.37Ω Ni80 Fused Clapton coil, this resistance to be pushed in the order of 30-35W seems to me very suitable for this type of RDA, moreover it goes well with the long duration that offers the 21700 battery inside the Mod.

This RDA is equipped with bell rotation stops that facilitate the removal and insertion of the tank on the Mod, however this solution does not allow other angles of flow direction towards the coil. Despite this, the flavor that SOLO RDA single-coil is able to release is well concentrated and more than enough to satisfy many cloud hunters.

Final conclusions:
Centaurus Quest BF 2 in 1 Kit, really impressed me and I have to say I absolutely loved everything! Briefly summarizing; the Kit is sufficiently compact both using it as a BF / RDA system and as a classic RTA 510 system, in fact Centaurus Mod in both configurations is not excessively heavy; it is robust, balanced in shape and rather ergonomic with a truly captivating look. Furthermore, the lateral position of the display is well studied, strategic and intelligent to contain the overall dimensions of the Mod. The practical and fast squonk refill system from the bottom deserves a very high rating as well as the large capacity of 9.5ml with the good tactile feedback of the leak-proof silicone squonk bottle. No loss therefore, thanks to a precise and very accurate connection of the needle of the bottle on the mod.

The "Quest" chipset among those of the entry level type is certainly to be considered among the best to choose as an economic alternative to the prestigious DNA circuit that Lost Vape adopts on many of its hi-end creations. Quest Chipset is precise, powerful and stable, it manages the battery well and is rich in functions and interface colors, but it is also intuitive to use thanks to the third adjustment button (Mode) that simplifies the user's life. Furthermore the converter accumulation DC-DC with an output voltage higher than the input allows the Step-Up with semi-discharged battery.
Lost Vape for the fine finishes and for the quality of the materials used in my opinion is confirmed as the best current Chinese manufacturer of Vape Kits, so I definitely recommend its products.

Thanks for reading.

I would also like to thank Lost Vape and Chloe for sending me the fantastic Centaurus Quest BF Kit 2 in 1 for this review.
