Review of Lost Vape Orion PLUS DNA Pod
The POD systems that abound on the vape market have changed quite a lot over the past few years. Instead of the thermometers with weak batteries and expensive cartridges, AIO systems with powerful batteries, large tanks and replaceable vaporizers are becoming more and more in demand. At the same time the most popular are POD-systems which look like small walkie-talkies and which appeared due to the well-known Lost Vape Orion device. The peculiarity of this device is that it uses a DNA chipset, which you can not even talk about for a long time. The developers of the company, inspired by the success of Orion and modern trends in interchangeable vaporizers, decided to continue this series, and that is why Lost Vape Orion PLUS DNA Pod was released. Naturally it still has the same DNA board, which will provide stable operation and performance, recognizable design, but a miracle happened to be that you can change vaporizers of different resistance separately. It can be said with confidence that this device after appearing on the vape shop shelves will be a hit of sales, because it has implemented all vapers requirements and eliminated almost all of the remarks and shortcomings.
General Info
Lost Vape Orion PLUS DNA Pod is a compact POD-system equipped with a powerful battery running on a DNA chip which is adapted for such devices, a medium-capacity tank and replaceable vaporizers. The form factor and dimensions of the device remained the same, which will please many vapers because you can safely use cartridges from the first version of Orion. An important point is the use of chipset from Evolv, with which you can not only ensure stable operation of the system, but also to set one of the five levels of power. The cartridge is the same size, but has one feature in it: you can change the vaporizer depending on vaper preferences. You can buy Lost Vape Orion PLUS DNA Pod in 15 (!!!) colors, so you can not worry about the choice.
Kit
Given the fact that this device is a POD-system, you can’t expect a super complete set, but the vaper can be sure that immediately after the purchase he will get everything he needs to use the device. In the box the vaper will find:
Orion PLUS battery pack;
Orion PLUS POD cartridge with 25″ Omega pre-installed vaporizer;” mesh coil;
A spare vaporizer 0.5″ Omega;” regular coil;
strap;
USB charging cable;
User’s Manual;
Warranty card.
Orion PLUS Battery Pack
The developers at Lost Vape decided not to change either the form factor or the size of the new device. On the one hand it is good because it is a proven and recognizable option, but on the other hand having both devices is very difficult to understand which one is Orion PLUS and which one is Orion. In any case, the device is practical and recognizable, without any critical changes.
Much attention Lost Vape designers paid to the color design of the new Orion vaper can choose from fifteen options, among which even the most demanding users can choose the best solution. It is impossible not to note that the case is made of aluminum alloy, plastic and stabilized wood, thanks to which the same devices are almost impossible to find.
Lost Vape Orion PLUS DNA Pod is powered by a 950 mAh battery, which is enough for a day of battery life. To charge it you can use the traditional micro-USB connector located on the bottom panel of the device, and it takes about an hour to fully charge it.
Naturally, one of the key features of the device is a chipset from Evolv. The presence of such a chipset allows you to ensure stable and reliable operation of the device. At the same time there is an opportunity to set one of the five modes of power depending on the installed vaporizer you can adjust it between 13-22 watts and 10-18 watts. To do this, there is a separate button and LED indicator that changes its color depending on the mode. The board also features Replay and automatic vaporizer resistance detection.
Orion PLUS POD Cartridge
One of the biggest differences between the Lost Vape Orion PLUS DNA Pod and the first version is the use of a cartridge with interchangeable vaporizers. It’s worth saying right away that the Orion PLUS can use cartridges from the first version as they are absolutely identical in size (Orion DNA GO can use Orion PLUS cartridges, but only after updating the firmware on the official website). The cartridge is held in the same way with a mechanical latch, in order to open it, you need to move the lever on the side surface.
The vaper has a choice of two replaceable vaporizers with 0.25 ohm resistance (mesh) and 0.5 ohm resistance (regular coil) which are designed for using organic and salt nicotine liquids respectively.
Replacement of the vaporizer in the Orion PLUS POD cartridge is very simple, you need to unscrew the drip-tip (there is a thread inside that holds the vaporizer), take out the old vaporizer and install the new one. The cartridge is filled with 2 ml of liquid according to the same principle. If we talk about the drip tip, it is not 510, but this is due to the fact that it is the air intake and puff regulator. Depending on the preference of the vaper, you can use DTL or MTL draw by simply turning the drip tip.
Conclusions and impressions
To make sense, Lost Vape Orion PLUS DNA Pod is a slightly improved version of Orion DNA GO, and the main changes are only in the cartridge. But in any case the vaper will get a reliable, productive and versatile device that will please the user with its technical characteristics and flavor transfer.
