Lost Vape after the successful sales of the Mod Grus 100W first version, releases an update called GRUS v2, this evolution uses a Chipset 2.0 “Quest” much richer than the previous one and completely different in menu navigation and settings.
GRUS v2 can be powered by different types of cells (18650-20700-21700), in addition to the modes; POWER, TC-SS904, TC-SS316, TC-TI, TC-NI, VPC, Voltage, Bypass allows you to select three levels of Boost and three different user pre-sets.
The elegant cardboard packaging is decorated in a premium style with a bow at the top and with a rosette at the bottom which in turn contains a number (4) to indicate how many coils are contained, there is also a “Best Wishes” and this could indicate that it is not the final packaging but perhaps a set up for reviewers. On the front side the image of the Kit Grus v2 is placed centrally, there are also the Lost Vape logo and the color indication of this sample in the form of an icon.
On the back they find a place; Lost Vape LTD’s content, instructions for use, barcode, scratch & check, logos, trademarks and address. On the remaining sides, in addition to the slogan “The Modern Demarcation”, there are all the social icons of reference where the company promotes its products.
First impressions: GRUS v2 differs from the previous model in two aspects, the first visible instantly and the other purely technical visible only to the user during use. The visible aspect is represented by the new 5.0ml circular UB PRO Tank or 5.5ml UB depending on the choice, the technical aspect is derived from the presence of a completely renewed chipset, particularly rich in functions, stable and performing.
It would be simple and reductive to describe the appearance of this Mod to a simple geometric figure, in reality the surfaces are an animated set of convexities, curves, bevels, grooves and flattened areas. There are no edges, the lines always connect with each other in a sweet and functional way to ergonomics and tactile pleasure.
The frame is built entirely of zinc alloy, this is the stainless steel parts; the base 510, the support base of the Mod and the battery compartment cap. The plastic parts concern the front panel which contains the display and the control keys.
With so many metal parts the weight of the Grus v2 Kit rises up to 215g! However, you are well prepared to bear this weight, thanks to an ergonomic form factor guessed in the smallest details, moreover the slightly rounded surfaces of both narrow sides favor the grip on the mod.
The 0.96 “TFT Display is an integral part of a screen that also houses the fire button, the Mode button and the Up / Down adjustment buttons. The Display has 6 background colors, the visibility of the fonts in some occasions is not exactly optimal , the display shows all the information useful for vaping except the Volt reading in the VW configuration.To read Voltage it is therefore necessary to switch to the VV mode.
The side view of the Mod shows a different insert in the center depending on the color variant chosen, these samples are part of the categories called by Lost Vape “universal series” and “carbon fiber series”. In the structure of the Grus it is easy to distinguish the areas of the steel frame from those in zinc alloy, the latter are painted the others are not. The writing “Grus” heads high on the side profile of the 510 cup, on the opposite side the writing is that of the Brand (Lost Vape).
The steel cup is fixed to the Mod via two torx screws, the thread is a classic 510, the contact pin is floating, you can use atomizers with a diameter of up to 31mm without protrusions!
The particular shape of the support base gives great stability to the Grus, on this surface there are three vent holes for the cell, the C E mark, the disposal logo and the words “Designed and Manufactured by Lost Vape Ltd” are shown. Also on this surface we find four torx screws and the cap (with handle) to access the compartment / battery.
The 5ml UB Pro Pod Tank Cartridge uses a replaceable 810 drip tip and is designed to accommodate the new UB Pro Coil series and the new RBA Pro. The 5.5ml UB Tank Cartridge uses a replaceable 510 drip tip and is made to accommodate all UB coil series and RBA UB base.
The classic circular tank design should not be misleading, this is not a classic magnetic connection system, the Lost Vape technicians have chosen a solid screw fixing between the Pod / PCTG parts and the AFC steel base. This could appear inconvenient when you have to change the coil compared to a magnetic system … However, the system designed by Lost Vape offers several advantages; such as the refill from the top, so you don’t need to detach the tank to fill it, another great plus is to be able to count on better air regulation, in fact the screwing system compared to the magnetic one reduces drafts to a minimum, much more accurate. The AFC systems of UB Pod Tank and UB Pro Pod Tank are designed with triple air intake to hit the coils with a balanced flow.
* If you have chosen the Grus v2 version equipped with UB PRO Pod Tank you can buy the UB Pod tank version separately.
UB Pro Coil Range: At the moment there are two types of UB Pro sub-ohm coils for the 5ml UB Pro cartridge and they are: – Mesh-Coil UB Pro P1 NI80 from 0.15Ω with Range 70-90W – Mesh-Coil UB P3 from 0.3Ω Range 60-70W usable with temperature control in a range of 260-290 ° C and 500-550 ° F. – UB Pro RBA Deck Resistance, Range: 0.15-3.0Ω (sold separately).
UB Coil Range: The UB coil series available for the 5.5ml UB cartridge is very complete: – UB M4 Mesh-Coil 0.2Ω Coil resistance: 0.2Ω mesh coil Rate 40-60W Suitable for DL
The postless deck for the RBA UB Pro is larger in size than the velocity deck of the RBA UB Pro which is quite small, however neither is difficult to regenerate, the only difficulty is getting the right amount of cotton in the velocity style tank which must be precise to avoid dry puffs.
Grus v2 Mod basic operations: – Power on / off: Press the fire button 5 times in a row. – Lock / Unlock: Press the (+) and (-) keys at the same time
Simplified menu: Grus v2 Mod is very simple and intuitive, after unlocking the keys just move on the Display with “+ and -” and select the parameter you want to modify with the Selection key, to confirm the modification press the Selection key again.
With Power selected, press the Select button to change mode, with the (+) and (-) buttons choose between (POWER, TC-SS904, TC-SS316, TC-TI, TC-NI, VPC, VOLTAGE, BYPASS ).
Temperature control mode: The temperature and wattage can be adjusted under SS904, SS316, TI. The temperature value can be changed between 100 ° C and 315 ° C, 200 ° F and 600 ° F, the power can be set between 5.0-100 W. * SS904 mode is specially designed for UB Pro P3 coil which is built with SS904 wire.
VPC mode: VPC mode is a custom curve output mode. The output power value can be changed every 0.5 seconds within 4 seconds from 5 to 100W.

Cut Off: Over 10s, the output will be automatically cut off and the screen shows “Over 10s” when you vape over 10s continuously
Grus v2 kit I call it a high-end mod at a popular price, built in resistant zinc alloy it is aesthetically pleasing but rather heavy. The Mod allows the use of 21700/20700/18650 cells and Type C charging.
The new Quest 2.0 Chipset provides more stable performance with a powerful delivery and adjustable to 3 boost levels, also in the menu for TC you can immediately set the wattage you want, the temperature and power can be fine-tuned in SS / TI / NI modes , saved and overwritten in three different user presets. Performance, and battery life with the new Quest 2.0 chipset are significantly improved.
Grus v2 Kit with the new 26mm UB and UB PRO tanks has best interpreted the technology of circular design tanks by optimizing AFC performance and ease of use (refil). UB and UB PRO Tank enjoy a complete series of coils and accessories, but one of the best aspects of the Mod Grus is the fact that they can use large after market atomizers, up to 31mm without overflowing.
Here are my impressions with the two tanks, the main coils and the two RBA modules:
– UB Pro Tank 5ml Mesh-Coil UB Pro P1 NI80 from 0.15Ω Range 70-90W: This new generation Coil must be combined with the 5ml UB Pro cartridge. Given the great power that can be reached, the triple AFC is 100% exploitable. Starting from 70W (minimum range), the reactivity to the Fire is immediate, from 80 to 90W with AFC wide open you undoubtedly get a great yield and a lot of vapor emission, the power supply seems constant and the coil does not show to suffer the highest powers . The Puff is always very quiet, by slightly choking the AFC, the aromatic yield increases hand in hand with the heat. To obtain the best aromatic performance with the new coil, you must first consume a couple of Tanks.
– UB Pro Tank 5ml 0.3Ω Mesh-Coil UB Pro SS904 Range 60-70W: This very interesting Mesh-Coil can be used indifferently in VW or in TC / SS904 with settings between 260-290 ° C and 500-550 ° F. The first impressions beyond the modality used are those of a balanced Coil, with a dry Puff, the flavor seems to me to be very accentuated the sugary part of the liquid. The initial power delivery is certainly faster in VW mode, in TC you feel a greater linearity of the Puff, I am not a TC expert, I rarely use it, however I think it is a good experience, I was missing it. I assume that a longer coil life can also be achieved with the TC.
– UB Pro Tank 5ml RBA UB Pro Postless Style: I was fine with the supplied Ø3mm coil which turns out to be 0.3Ω. I started at 30W and since its liquid supply is very good, I ended up using it at 37W without any inconvenience. The 5ml of liquid that contains the UB Pro cartridge and the medium / low consumption of liquid allow long vaping sessions, some small difficulties with small screws can be encountered during the build of the coil, however it seems to me a very good RBA balanced for a good flavor, the solution of having a Ø2mm under-coil hole seems to me to be guessed right.
– UB Tank 5.5ml 0.2Ω Ultra Boost Mesh-Coil M4 with 40-60W Range: The coil, as expected, has the same good yield as the other Sub-Ohms of the PRO series, I use it with open air-flow at 45 / 50W, by restricting the AFC aperture you get big improvements in the quality of the aroma. The body of the steam is remarkable, the puff is soft and silent, you can reach 60W (maximum limit of the coil) without showing any signs of failure.
– UB Tank 5.5ml Ultra Boost MTL regular Coil 1.0Ω with 8-15W range: This resistance (not mesh) has two air-flow holes so small that they hardly need to be choked to get a good MTL puff. I found the best compromise at 13.5W, the vapor is dry, warm enough, with Hit quite similar to traditional cigarettes, the consumption of liquid is very limited, the 5.5ml capacity of the Ultra Boost Tank really last a long time. By completely closing the AFC ring but also by adopting a more restrictive Drip-Tip 510, the 1.0Ω Ultra Boost MTL coil by lost Vape is really optimal for an MTL vape and satisfies a lot the blow in the throat even with low concentrations of nicotine, I don’t I would never have expected such a good result from a Tank devoted to lung vaping, thanks to the AFC regulation (completely closed) which is very precise and does not let air drafts through.
– UB Tank 5.5ml RBA Ultra Boost Velocity Style: This is certainly a useful accessory for those who want to have fun building MTL / RDL Coils, however it is not so easy to achieve the performance of the excellent Ultra-Boost Coils. With this little RBA you can try your skills, even newbies can learn since it is not difficult to builds. If you prefer the open Puff I recommend the purchase of the other Deck RBA UB Pro Postless Style combined with the Tank UB PRO.
Lost Vape Grus v2 Quest Kit 100W Highlights: – 5 Vape Modes: • VPC mode (variable power curve) • Bypass mode • Wattage mode • Voltage mode • Temperature control mode (SS316 / Ti / Ni) – Three power steps (Soft, Norm Hard) – Three additional user memories – Type-C charging – Superior quality Lost Vape construction – Adjustable AFC in steel – Convenient side refill at the top – Coil UB Pro 0.3ohm for TC – Tank UB Pro and Tank UB both sold separately – RBA UB Pro or RBA Ultra boost both sold separately – Wide choice of Coils for both systems – Drip Tip 510 and 810 both replaceable

Lost Vape after the successful sales of the Mod Grus 100W, releases a new and valuable “universal” model (18650-20700-21700) called Ursa.
The latest addition to Lost Vape uses a new and very complete proprietary Quest chipset equipped with POWER, TC-SS904, TC-SS316, TC-TI, TC-NI, VPC, Voltage, Bypass) modes, double control on Mod / Pod with 3 + 3 storable settings, interesting the TC / SS904 option for the 0.3Ω UB PRO coil.
Will Ursa be the queen of universal mods for 2020?
The package with which the Lost Vape URSA Quest arrives is of important dimensions, on the front the mod is depicted in the Pod and Mod 510 variants, also in the form of an icon the main features are listed. Since this is a Sample, perhaps still in the final configuration phase, I will not dwell on describing the other sides of the cardboard box.
Package contents: – 1 Device Ursa Quest – 1 Mod 510 steel adapter – 1 x 18650 battery adapter – 1 7ml Ursa Pro Pod cartridge pre-assembled with steel AFC – 1 x 6ml Ursa Ultra AFC compatible steel cartridge – 1 Mesh-Coil UB Pro P1 NI80 of 0.15Ω Range 70-90W – 1 Mesh-Coil UB M4 0.2Ω Range 40-60W – 1 Drip Tip 810 – 1 Drip Tip 510 – 1 Set of O-rings – 1 Type-C cable for charging – 1 Certificate of guarantee – 1 User manual
First impressions: When for the first time I touched some details, I immediately thought of the Ursa as the best creation of 2020 as regards the so-called universal devices (pod + mod) and the impression I got from it is of great robustness.
The frame is entirely built in zinc alloy, the stainless steel parts are the additional ones, that is: the compartment / battery cap, the base / airflow and the 510 adapter with respective super reliable coupling system.
With so many metal parts the weight of the Ursa goes from 153gr when empty to 173gr (pod version) to 193gr with 510 adapter, they are not few! However, even with a 21700 cell inserted, its portability remains excellent and not at all tiring, thanks to a form factor guessed in the smallest details, strongly inspired by that of the previous Grus Quest.
The design is a set of convexities, different materials, curves, bevels, grooves without sharp edges and lively lines that are always connected to each other in a sweet and functional way ensuring great ergonomics and tactile pleasure during the vape.
Lost Vape URSA Quest 100W how it’s made: This sample is part of the color choice category called “SS Ukiran Leather” by Lost Vape.
The side view showcases the lively design of the Ursa with a thick leather insert in the center, with a high color density, with a very pronounced surface roughness. The texture and design of the leather insert vary from panel to panel.
The inscription “Ursa Quest” laser engraved and is placed vertically downwards. The writing on the other side (in the same position) is that of the Brand (Lost Vape).
The front and rear side are very interesting, at the top there are two opposing metal buttons that are used to operate the robust coupling / release mechanism of the pod and its accessories.
On the front side in a slightly recessed position there are the square-shaped fire button, the 0.96 “color oled screen, the Up / down adjustment keys with the Mode key in the center for quick access to the menu functions. * The keys are all metallic with good tactile feedback.
The rear area under the eject button is completely smooth, the slightly rounded surfaces of both narrow sides favor the grip on the mod.
The Pod compartment in my view is a work of art, on the bottom there is the spring-loaded contact pin and on the sides there are two metal spurs operated by the external keys I mentioned earlier, this coupling system / release for the cartridge and for additional 510 module is the most robust, stable and well-made solution that I have ever seen on these systems, the “Voltage Drop” is zeroed. Congratulations Lost Vape you won!
The 510 adapter can even be dismantled for any repairs, on the sides there are two large hooking loops, the 510 adapter it has a diameter of 31mm and a weight of 43gr! The pin is gold plated and is spring loaded.
The shape of the support base of the Ursa gives it great stability, on this surface there are three vent holes for the cell, the C E mark, the disposal logo and the words “Designed and Manufactured by Lost Vape Ltd” are shown. Also on this surface we find four torx screws and the cap (with handle) to access the compartment / battery.
Lost Vape Ursa can use different types of cells (18650-20700-21700) for the 18650 an adapter is available in the kit.
Ursa Pod System: It involves the use of two different cartridges, both made of PCTG with replaceable drip-tip and refill in a comfortable lateral / high position. The 7ml Ursa Pro Pod Cartridge uses a drip Tip 810 and is designed to house the new UB Pro Coil series and the new RBA Ursa Pro. The 6ml Ursa Ultra Cartridge uses a 510 drip tip and is designed to accommodate all the UB coil series and the UB RBA base.
Both cartridges screw onto a special and sturdy AFC steel ring.
UB Pro Coil Range: At the moment there are two types of UB Pro oversized coils for the 7ml UB Pro cartridge and they are: – Mesh-Coil UB Pro P1 NI80 from 0.15Ω with Range 70-90W – Mesh-Coil UB M4 from 0.2Ω Range 40-60W usable with temperature control in a range of 260-290 ° C and 500-550 ° F.
UB Coil Range: The UB coil series available for the 6ml UB cartridge is very complete: – UB M4 Mesh-Coil 0.2Ω Coil resistance: 0.2Ω mesh coil Rate: 40-60W Suitable for DL
Deck RBA UB Pro: Kindly Lost vape sent me the RBA kit (sold separately) for my test and I thank them. the RBA kit includes: – 1 Postless RBA Deck – 1 Screwable Chimney – 1 510 adapter – 2 Cotton laces – 2 Ø3mm 0.3Ω Complex Coils – 3 replacement O’ring – 4 tightening screws. * Note: I couldn’t find any screwdriver supplied, I’m sure Lost Vape will put it in the kit when it goes on sale.
This new postless deck for the RBA URSA is quite small in size, however it is not difficult to rebuild, the only difficulty is the tiny screws to tighten the legs (good eyesight required).
The Ø2mm under-coil hole suggests a type of vape that is not too open, we will see later. Before regenerating simply screw the 510 adapter to the RBA and screw it onto the mod for a more comfortable operation.
The legs fit comfortably from the top, I recommend cutting them to 5mm in length before inserting them. I inserted the cotton, for the cut I took reference by folding it on the deck and cutting it slightly before the end of the buttonholes that must accommodate it. I then screwed on the bell and moistened the cotton with my 70/30 tropical liquid.
How the mod works: – Power on / off: Press the fire button 5 times in a row. – Lock / Unlock: Press the (+) and (-) keys simultaneously
Simplified navigation: With the mod Unlocked, press the (+) and (-) keys to scroll through the options, to select press the Mode key, to confirm the choice press the fire key.
With Power selected, press the Mode button to change mode, with the (+) and (-) buttons choose between (POWER, TC-SS904, TC-SS316, TC-TI, TC-NI, VPC, VOLTAGE, BYPASS ).
Temperature control mode: The temperature and wattage can be adjusted under SS904, SS316, TI. The temperature value can be changed between 100 ° C and 315 ° C, 200 ° F and 600 ° F, the power can be set between 5.0-100 W. * SS904 mode is specially designed for UB Pro P3 coil which is built with SS904 wire.
VPC mode: VPC mode is a custom curve output mode. The output power value can be changed every 0.5 seconds within 4 seconds from 5 to 100W.
Pod Mode / Mod Switching: The power output is slightly different between Pod and Mod modes. The Pod mode theme is shown in blue color, the selected Mod mode is shown in orange color.
User Settings Switching: There are 4 control options for user settings in Pod / Mod mode. 1) Mode 2) Resistance 3) Power / voltage 4) Boost level or Temperature 3 different separate user settings can be stored for Pod mode and Mod mode. To overwrite the current user setting, select the user you want to overwrite, press the Select button once, and then press and hold the Select button for two seconds.

Screen brightness adjustment: Press the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the screen brightness.
Reset: Selecting (YES) will restore all settings to factory defaults.
About: Displays the Lost Vape logo and the installed software version.
Back: To return to the main interface
Charging: The device has a built-in DC 5V USB type port, powered by a Type-C cable. While charging the battery icon will start to animate, once the charge is complete it stops. (Battery Voltage 4.18V).
Protections and warnings: Low battery Check Atomizer Short circuit Too Hot: The device will shut down when the indoor temperature is above 85 ° C. Until the temperature returns to 65 ° C. Cut Off: Over 10s, the output will be automatically cut off and the screen shows “Over 10s” when you vape over 10s continuously
Final Conclusions: This kit allows the use of most atomizers on the market with a useful diameter of 31mm, I tried to install atomizers with a diameter of 27-28mm and even smaller ones up to 25mm, no one clashes. The mod has a good speed to puff, it seems to me that it also manages the batteries very well.
– Mesh-Coil UB M4 0.2Ω with 40-60W Range: I had already tried it with the Thelema 80W, but I wanted to see how it performed when paired with the 6ml UB cartridge with Drip-Tip 510 (replaceable). I therefore used the same tropical liquid as the previous test (Thelema). The coil as expected has the same good yield, on the Thelema I use it with open air-flow at 45 / 50W, with the Ursa it is sufficient to open the AFC to 50%, opening it more does not have major improvements. The body of the steam is remarkable, the puff is soft and silent, you can reach 60W (maximum limit of the coil) without showing any signs of failure.
– Mesh-Coil UB Pro P1 NI80 from 0.15Ω Range 70-90W: This new generation Coil must be combined with the 7ml UB Pro cartridge with the Drip-Tip 810 (replaceable). In this case the AFC can be used at 100% Starting from 70W (minimum range), the reactivity to the Fire is fast, the Puff is quite noisy with the AFC ring completely open, by choking the AFC the noise is attenuated and improves the yield aromatic.
From 80 to 90W with AFC wide open you undoubtedly get a great yield of flavor and a lot of vapor emission, the power supply seems constant and the coil does not show to suffer from the highest powers.
– Coil UB Pro SS904 from 0.3Ω Range 60-70W: Lost Vape also sent me this very interesting Mesh-Coil to be used in VW or in TC / SS904 with settings between 260-290 ° C and 500-550 ° F. The first impressions beyond the mode used are those of a balanced Coil, with a drier Puff, the flavor seems to me to be very accentuated the sugary part of the liquid. The initial power delivery is certainly faster in VW mode, in TC you feel a greater linearity of the Puff, I am not a TC expert, I rarely use it, however I think it is a good experience, I was missing it. I assume that with the TC you can also have a longer duration of the coil itself.
RBA UB Pro: I was happy with the supplied coil, I installed it without knowing what it was, I only know that it has a diameter of Ø3mm and turns out to be 0.3Ω. I started using it at 30W and since its liquid supply is very good, I ended up using it at 40W without any inconvenience. The 7ml of liquid that contains the UB Pro cartridge allow long vaping sessions, the consumption of liquid does not seem excessive to me, a symptom of a good yield. Some small difficulties with small screws can be encountered during the coil build, however it seems to me a good very balanced RBA for a good flavor, the solution of keeping a Ø2mm hole under the coil seems to me to be guessed.
I think I have almost said everything, this universal kit (Pod + Mod) is definitely the best one out so far, it will surely be able to satisfy many people. Let’s just hope that with all these great and beautiful innovations the final price is not too high (at the moment I don’t know it).
Lost Vape URSA Quest Kit 100W Highlights: – The first Mod Pod with 5 Vaping Modes: • VPC mode (variable power curve) • Bypass mode • Wattage mode • Voltage mode • Temperature control mode (SS316 / Ti / Ni) – Three power steps (Soft, Norm Hard) – Three additional user memories – Mod and Pod configuration, Dual Vape Style – Type-C charging – Superior quality leather – Robust Clip-On Connection – Adjustable AFC in steel – Convenient side trim at the top – Double pod system – Coil UB Pro 0.3ohm for TC – RBA UB Pro (available separately) – Wide choice of Coil UB + RBA UB – Drip Tip 510 and 810 both replaceable
The Lost Vape Grus review, and is it a bird a plane or a super sexy vape device?
It turns out a Grus is some kind of bird from the crane family, so calling a device ‘Grus’ makes absolutely no sense! But hey, this is vaping and the world of vaping is vast and spectacular.
Lost Vape make very good devices, particularly known for high quality and not as well known for tanks and rebuildables.
The Orion range of pod systems always come to mind when I think of Lost Vape but most recently, the Lost Vape Centaurus DNA250c is what really comes to mind.
A fabulous dual battery device which is very high quality and although its over the £100 mark, its definitely worth the money in my opinion.
Single battery devices however are on a slight rise, especially with the use of a single 21700 battery, generally meaning higher wattage, and better battery life.
Lets crack on and try out the Lost Vape Grus 100w Mod.
What Can We Expect From The LostVape Grus 100w Mod?
The Lost Vape Grus mod has pretty much all the features you could expect or want from a single battery device along with coming in a number of modern, and classic styles.
Housing a battery as large as a 21700 does mean you compensate on portability but with a Zinc Alloy frame, USB Type-C Charge port, a large colour OLED display and a large enough 510 plate on top to fit a 30mm atomiser.
I received the Black Carbon Fibre version of the Lost Vape Grus.
The satin black finish is nice and smooth and fairly scratch resistant, and on either side of the device is a slim panel which in my case is real carbon fibre.
Surprisingly the 2 side panels are machined so well, when you run your finger across them you can barely feel the join between the black frame and the carbon fibre panels.
I’m really impressed with the finish and quality of build with this device.
Lost Vape Grus 100w In The Hand
The Grus is quite tall for a single battery mod, but more surprising is the weight.
It isn’t heavy, but its ‘weighty’ and solid in the hand.
As both a thumb, or finger firer the Lost Vape Grus works very well and fits comfortably in the hand mostly thanks to the curvature of the device.
On the one side is a clean smooth curve, and on the other curved end is the display, which is also curved very cleverly to blend into the device and sits nice and flush.
Lost Vape Grus 100w Display
An interesting slightly curved display with the Grus, which means if you don’t look at the display face-on, it almost feels like you’re looking into a fish tank.
Device Off – 5 Clicks of Fire button, then Centre Button
Change Power Mode – 1 Click of Centre button highlights Power Mode
Up Button – Voltage/Wattage/Temperature Up
Down Button – Voltage/Wattage/Temperature Down
Up & Centre Button – Locks adjustment buttons. Will Still fire.
Press & Hold Centre Button – Change display colour.
Lost Vape Grus Battery Housing
The Grus uses what I would call the traditional threaded battery cap with a small latch that you can lift and unscrew the cap to access the battery housing.
There are also 3 small holes in the cap for battery venting.
As much as some may say this is a painful way to house a battery, and for some who aren’t very dexterous they may struggle with this cap as the handle to screw and unscrew is quite small.
But personally, I still think its one of the best ways to house a battery, more because it ensures a tight connection and there is nothing that concerns me more than loose connections…
Being an electrician, I can promise you a loose connection causes more problems than you could imagine.
Just ask one of the largest retailers in the UK who had 5 hours of downtime, costing them millions just because of a loose connection.
Yep…I was the fool who had to fix it and explain to the directors there was no quick fix.
How Does The Lost Vape Grus Perform?
I’ve made as much use of the large diameter 510 plate on top of the Lost Vape Grus by using everything from the usual 24/25mm RDA’s to one of my favourite 28mm RTA’s, the Oumier Bulk RTA.
Personally, I feel this device is better suited for larger atomizers, as much as it works absolutely fine with a 24 or 25mm tank or dripper, its really best suited for 28-30mm tanks and RDA’s.
But this is where it gets tricky because for the most part, its fairly normal to build lower with a larger diameter atomizer which in turn requires more power to perform.
With the limited 100w output, the Grus seems to offer you a race car, with a moped engine, but for the most part, 100 watts is plenty. It’s just for some who may like to vape at over 100 watts every day, they just wont get the power they need.
Even if a maximum of 100 watts is enough, a single 21700 battery wont last very long when used at 100 watts.
With regards to power output, the Lost Vape Grus hits as well as you would hope.
You may not get 100 watts out of the Grus for long, but on a fully charged battery it does feel like it comfortably hits 100 watts.
Can the Lost Vape Grus Be practical?
For a single battery device, the Lost Vape Grus is fairly large, and fairly heavy but its still streamlined enough and certainly tough enough to be used day to day.
I’d be more concerned about the 6.5ml Bubble glass on my 28mm tank than any concerns I might have about damaging the device.
The ability to house a 21700 battery certainly helps with battery life, if you tend to vape at around 50-60 watts each day, you’ll most likely find a 21700 battery will last you a day or there abouts. Its just about enough for me, with the occasional change of battery mid-evening.
There is of course a USB Type-C Port for a decent 2amp charge so fast charging on the go is possible if you need.
Can the Lost Vape Grus be used at work?
Using the Grus at work isn’t like carrying a pod system around in your pocket that’s for sure! But its certainly easier to lug around and use than a larger dual 1865 device.
Are you happy to carry spare batteries especially if you a: Vape a lot, b: Vape at a high wattage. If this is no problem then the Grus is a good option for day to day work life.
Pros
Superb Finish
Feels well made
Clear Display
Easy navigation
Houses a 30mm atty no problem
Its hard to fault this device. One of my favourite sayings ‘It is what it is’ comes to mind. Why do I say that? The fact this can take up to 30mm atomiser yet being limited to 100 watts because its a single 21700 device really restricts this device. Hence the mark down in the ‘Design’ category. Apart from that, the Lost Vape Grus is top-notch.
