The Quest chipset: what Lost Vape builds around

Lost Vape's in-house Quest chipset is the technology that the brand centres its product lineup around. Quest 2.0, which powers the current Thelema Elite and Ursa series, handles auto-wattage detection from pod resistance, provides coil protection, and includes a multi-mode firing system. On the Thelema Elite S, for example, Quest 2.0 manages both the Eco and Turbo power modes — one click switches between them, giving you either a cooler, more battery-efficient draw or a warmer, higher-wattage output from the same pod.

The Quest chipset also handles the connection protocol between the pod and the device. When you insert an E Plus dual mesh pod into a Thelema Elite S, Quest 2.0 reads the coil resistance and sets the appropriate wattage range automatically. The result is that the device behaves intelligently out of the box: you do not need to navigate menus or set wattage manually unless you want to override the default. For vapers switching from disposables or cigarettes, this is the important point — the device manages itself.

Quest 3.0 appears in Lost Vape's higher-tier hardware such as the Thelema Q200 Pro. It adds Bluetooth connectivity, firmware update capability, and more granular wattage control. For the kits available at VapeCity, Quest 2.0 is the relevant version.

The Ursa series: entry MTL pod kits from Lost Vape

The Ursa Cap (£5.99 at VapeCity) is the most compact Lost Vape pod kit in the range. A 1,000mAh battery, draw-activation, no buttons to press, and compatible with Ursa V2 cartridges in five resistance options from 0.6Ω (RDL) to 1.4Ω (tight MTL). Eight colour options — from Galaxy Star to Pearl White and Mint Green — give it more visual variety than most entry pod kits at this price. The Anti-Dust Top Cap is a practical addition: a magnetic cover that keeps the mouthpiece clean when the device is in a bag or pocket.

The Ursa Nano series (Nano 3 and Nano S II are available via various retailers at around £9.99-£10.99) steps up to a 1,200mAh battery with a slightly larger form factor. Both use the Ursa V3 pod platform — compatible across the Ursa Nano 3, Galaxy S360 and Galaxy T360 kits. The Ursa V3 pods come in 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω and 1.0Ω options, with the 0.6Ω being the most popular for 20mg nic salt with a loose MTL draw.

The Ursa series is Lost Vape's answer to the same entry-level segment as the Geekvape Sonder Q2, Aspire Gotek X3 and Oxva Xlim Go 2. The Ursa Cap at £5.99 undercuts all three on price. The trade-off is battery capacity: 1,000mAh versus 1,600-1,800mAh in the Geekvape and Oxva options. For lighter vapers or those who charge at their desk, this is not a practical problem. For heavier users who need all-day battery life, the step up to the Thelema Elite 40 at £14.99 is more appropriate.

A quick guide to the Lost Vape lineup — what each device does and who it suits.

The Galaxy S360 and T360: the 360-degree LED pod kits

The Lost Vape Galaxy S360 and T360 (both £10.99 at VapeCity) are the most distinctive pod kits in the current UK market. The defining feature is a 360-degree LED display that wraps completely around the device body — 300 micro-LEDs at over 6 per centimetre, producing a continuous cylindrical screen rather than the conventional flat rectangular display found on standard pod mods. The Galaxy display is configurable: brightness, animation style and colour modes can all be adjusted.

Beyond the display, the Galaxy S360 and T360 are solid mid-range pod kits. A 1,400mAh battery, 35W maximum output, stepless airflow adjustment for MTL and RDL vaping, and Ursa V3 cartridge compatibility (0.6Ω, 0.8Ω and 1.0Ω options). The difference between the S360 and T360 is form factor: the S360 is more cylindrical with a rounder cross-section, the T360 has a squarer profile. Both take the same Ursa V3 pods and have the same specs.

The 360-degree display does consume slightly more battery than a standard OLED or TFT panel. At moderate vaping, the 1,400mAh battery typically covers a full day. If you want to extend battery life, reducing the LED brightness in the settings makes a measurable difference. The Galaxy kits are a legitimate choice if visual design is part of what you want from your device — they draw attention in a way that most black pod kits do not.

Thelema Elite S vs Thelema Elite 40: which to choose?

Both the Thelema Elite S (£7.99) and Thelema Elite 40 (£14.99) use the same E Plus dual mesh pod platform and Quest 2.0 chipset. The key differences are physical. The Thelema Elite S is the smaller, slimmer device — closer in profile to a standard pod kit. The Elite 40 is a more substantial device body with a larger chassis that accommodates the full 40W output range more comfortably and typically feels more premium in the hand.

The 0.6Ω E Plus dual mesh pod is included in both kits and is the right starting coil for 20mg nic salt with a moderate MTL draw. The 0.45Ω RDL pod gives a warmer, airier draw at 17-30W. The 0.3Ω DTL pod runs at 25-45W — at the upper end of what the Thelema Elite 40 can deliver. If you regularly vape at higher wattages or prefer a more open airflow draw, the Elite 40 gives you more headroom than the Elite S.

For new vapers or those switching from cigarettes who want an MTL draw at 20mg nic salt, the Thelema Elite S at £7.99 is the better starting point — lower price, adequate battery, and the same pod platform. The Elite 40 makes sense for vapers who already know they prefer a warmer, higher-wattage draw or who want a more premium-feeling device.

Setting up a Lost Vape Thelema Elite S for the first time

1. 1

   Charge to full first

   Connect the Thelema Elite S via USB-C and charge to full before first use. The LED indicator shows charging status. Charging from empty takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes.

2. 2

   Prime the E Plus pod

   Before filling, add a small drop of e-liquid to each of the coil wicking holes on the pod body. This helps the dual mesh coil saturate faster and prevents dry hits on the first few draws.

3. 3

   Side-fill the pod

   E Plus pods use a side-fill port covered by a silicone cap. Pull the cap to the side, fill with 50/50 nic salt or freebase e-liquid, and reseal. The pod holds 2ml. Leave it to sit for 5 minutes before vaping.

4. 4

   Insert the pod and select power mode

   Slide the pod into the device until it clicks. The Thelema Elite S is draw-activated. One click on the body switches between Eco mode (lower wattage, cooler draw) and Turbo mode (higher wattage, warmer draw). Start in Eco mode if you are new to the device.

5. 5

   Draw to vape

   Inhale directly from the mouthpiece — no button needed. The Quest 2.0 chipset reads the pod resistance and fires at the appropriate wattage automatically. Five rapid clicks powers the device on or off.

Lost Vape vs Geekvape, Oxva and Aspire at the same price points

At £7.99, the Thelema Elite S sits below the Geekvape Sonder Q2 (£7.99), Aspire Gotek X3 (£8.99) and Oxva Xlim Go 2 (£7.99) in the entry pod kit market. The Thelema Elite S has a larger battery than the Geekvape Sonder Q2 and offers the Eco/Turbo mode switching. The Oxva Xlim Go 2 has a marginally larger 1,600mAh battery and the UniTech 2.0 dual mesh coil, which delivers strong flavour performance. The Aspire Gotek X3 has the BVC coil heritage behind it and a draw-activated format. All four are credible choices at this price; the Lost Vape appeals on chipset sophistication and, at the Thelema level, dual mesh coil performance.

At £10.99, the Galaxy S360 competes with the Uwell Caliburn G5 Lite SE (£8.99) and Vaporesso XROS 4 (around £12-14 at most UK retailers). The Galaxy wins on visual distinctiveness and the 360° display; the Caliburn wins on GPP pod cross-compatibility and PRO-FOCS 4.0 auto-wattage. Neither is a definitive winner — the choice depends on what you value more.

Lost Vape does not have the same coil ecosystem depth as Aspire (BVC/BP/U-Tech) or Uwell (GPP platform). If cross-kit pod compatibility across multiple devices is important, Uwell or Aspire are better positioned. For single-device simplicity with a distinctive design, Lost Vape's Galaxy and Thelema series are strong mid-market choices.
