The Lost Vape UB Lite is the latest pod kit release from a brand that has made a huge name for themselves.
It sure looks funky so does it deliver all that it promises?
Read on to find out!
What Can We Expect From Lost Vape UB Lite Pod Kit?
This is quite a simple pod kit at first impression, but it does have some clever features.
Firstly the chip will adjust the output (up to 30W) according to which coil is installed and there are 3 different coil types available.
- L1 0.4ohm Mesh (DTL) (included in kit)
- L3 0.8ohm Mesh (DTL) (available separately)
- L5 1.4ohm Mesh (MTL) (included in kit)
This uses the UB Lite coil range – which does not appear to be compatible with any of the other UB (Ultra Boost) devices.
If the terms “MTL” or “DTL” leave you scratching your head, have a read of our Guide To Vape Styles.
Inside the device is a 1000mAh battery which is charged via the USB Type C port.
An LED indicator displays the battery capacity remaining plus the power level.
An airflow adjustment lever is located on the back of the mod – which makes me happy – I always like to see adjustable airflow!
The pod is refillable and you can change the coils.
When it comes to firing you can either manually use the fire button or with the auto draw feature simply inhale on the mouthpiece for the mod to fire.
There are 7 colour options to choose from: Galaxy Blue, Fantasy Pink, Magic Red, Tiffany Green, Midnight Black, Mystic Gunmetal and Space Silver.
These devices were sent to me free of charge for review purposes – thank you muchly!
And as usual, I will report back honestly on my findings with the devices supplied.

Design and Build Quality
I received the Lost Vape UB Lite kit in both the Mystic Gunmetal and Magic Red colours, and I also received some spare coils – thank you Lost Vape!
Both kits arrive in pristine condition and were well packaged.
The instructions are good – not much info missing – only the charging rate.
I also applaud the inclusion of a lanyard as this kit is ideal for wearing around the neck for quick vapes.
There are two slight gripes with the kit before I have even used it – the USB cable is only 15cm long (not much use to me really) and the resistance of the coils is very hard to see.
You get 2 different coils in the kit and you will need to know which coil you are installing to make sure you use the correct e-liquid in the pod.
Lost Vape UB Lite Mod
This is a cute little device with a textured flat area on the front – with an almost rubbery grip feel.
I have tried scraping this with a fingernail and it doesn’t scratch or come off so should be pretty hard wearing.
The fire button is super responsive and you barely have to push it far for the fire to activate.
A really handy feature is the ability to lock the fire button with 3 clicks but the draw activation still works.
I like this a lot as it prevents accidental firing. But bear in mind on the RDL airflow settings the draw activation isn’t reliable.
There are no adjustments or screen to contend with – only an LED indicator to inform of the battery capacity remaining or power setting.
Although the LED is small it is well located and bright to be able to see when it lights up when vaping.
The USB port is located on the base of the mod so it is a case of lying it down to charge – but I have had no leaking issues so I am not concerned about this at all.
On the rear of the mod is the airflow adjustment slider you can move the lever to any position from RDL to MTL and anything in-between.
The little pin on the slider doesn’t protrude far which is a bonus for being pocket friendly but it can be a bit fiddly to adjust and will need a fingernail or similar to slide it.
I did find I kept blocking the airflow intake with my finger a lot when vaping – so you do have to try to avoid this!
The body has a metallic paint finish which so far has held up well and the shape and weight feel great in the hand.
Lost Vape UB Lite Pod
The pod has a whistle type mouthpiece which is very comfortable but obviously this limits the position in the mouth.
It is only flat on 2 sides so you will often find yourself turning the device if vaping without looking.
I did find the most comfortable position for the mouthpiece was when the fire button was facing me – which is a bit of a pain as you can’t see the LED indicator then!
The front of the pod has a circular shape with the LV logo and this sits snugly in the cut out on the front of the mod.
So you cannot install the pod the wrong way around – you will need to align this.
The fill port is located on the side of the pod base, so you kind of have to have the pod horizontal or upside down to fill.
The fill port cover has a cut out for putting a nail into to lift the cover and you can carefully swivel the cover around to get at the port easily.
I had no issues with filling using 10ml bottles or a thin spout 100ml bottle as the port is such a good size. I tip the pod upside down to prevent any airlock issues.
Coil installation and removal is a simple push in and pull out affair, but this does bring about a bit of a design fault – see my next section for why…
I did find it hard sometimes to remove the pod as it sits very tightly in the mod and there is not much to grip onto to pull it out.
It has a dark tint which isn’t great for viewing liquid levels but you can tip the mod upside down and the e-liquid should be visible in the mouthpiece area of the pod – so you can do a quick check without removing the pod.
Other than the flaw mentioned below and when changing coils I have had no leaks in normal use.
Lost Vape UB Lite – Pod Design Flaw…
So the magnet in the mod is a circular shape which is supposed to magnetically attract to the ring on the base of the pod.
But – multiple times now – I have pulled out the pod – either to refill or check the liquid level and the coil has stayed in the mod – held onto the magnet and the pod has pulled out. The result is e-liquid everywhere!
As there is little to grip hold of to pull out the pod I often use this method to remove it.
I do have some grip issues with my hands so I am not sure again if I am making this worse as I have not seen anyone else complain about this so far – so it could be my gammy hands?
This is a design flaw and several times now I have been covered in e-liquid – it also isn’t healthy for the mod to be filled with liquid right by the electrical contacts.
See a video demonstration below of what happens. Note there is a lot of tissue about as I had spillages from this issue before!
Sadly trying to remove the pod one handed (was holding phone with other hand!) doesn’t help!
Hey, I’ve never had the problem with the magnet that you seem to have, try pushing the coil in the pod bit maybe its not secured in properly? Hope this helps!
good kit but green light came on after 3 weeks and it wont go off it just will not work worst ever ive had if it is not resolved
Just purchased this so late to the party I know, but great review and I’m hoping you can answer my questions?
So I’ve recently gone from full on sub ohm vaper (squonking, RDA, RTA etc), and usualy mix my 100ml juices to 3mg, to now I’m almost exclusively an MTL vaper (10mg Salts, using the kayfun 2020, Zenith 2, Vthru, koko prime). I’m very interested to know what nic salts strengths your mixing your high VG juices to for the .4 coil with this kit? I have a ton of 100ml bottles all mixed to 3mg, would it be advisable to mix more nic into these to get say a 6mg for this kit so I’m getting the flavour and throat hit? I’m thinking it might impact the flavour as I’ve already added 2x 18mg nic for each 100ml bottle, but I really like the throat hit I get with MTL and would really love to use all my high VG juices in this kit, so yeah could you let me know the strengths and amounts of nic salts you use to get the flavour/throat hit balance right in the higher VG juices?
Sorry for the mega rant but again thanks, and as you said in your review being able to vape high VG flavour with a throat hit in this kit has me quite excited lol!
Hi there, I added pure nic salt in PG to my 70%VG e-liquid to approx 6mg – and at that strength it was such a lovely MTL vape! Sadly the e-liquid I used is a coil killer, I have found it before in other kits – but for the sake of testing it worked perfectly. I think adding loads of nic shots will dilute your flavour a lot. I used just nic at 7.2mg so I needed less than 10ml for a 100ml bottle. Hence why it doesnt dilute the flavour as much. Its almost impossible to get hold of pure nic nowadays due to TPD – I did have a stash I stored before the laws changed but sadly that is almost gone now.
Thx Michelle! I have managed to find the 7.2 nic salt.
This is PG so adding 10ml of this to 100ml should do the trick?
Thanks again for the info and help!
Baz
That is what I do 10ml of that to 100ml e-liquid is very very roughly 7.2mg – very very roughly – maths is not my cup of tea.
By the way had to remove your link – so sorry but I have used where you posted too!
Hope it works for you as I really enjoyed this in the UB Lite! You can always add a bit more of the pure nic too without affecting the flavour – I would make up some smaller bottles to test how much Nic works before you do the whole batch as you cant remove it if it is too strong hehe!

Great review. The 0.8ohm coil sounds great! Sounds like it would be perfect for the Element NS20 liquids, as although they’re 20mg salt they are all 65%VG.
Shame about the magnet issue, and why do so many companies insist on dark tinted pods.
Thanks JD – the Elements would really kick with the 0.8ohm coil would be brill!
Yeh the pod is just that bit too dark – awkward when filling too!
