Introduction
Lost Vape are best known for their devices accommodating the latest DNA chipsets but have also in recent times been eyeing up potential market ground at a lower price point. We have seen the Modefined range of devices and here we have the Lyra the second device in the Quest range. Despite the mentioned ranges being at a lower price point Lost Vape haven't lowered their build quality and the Lyra is no exception and in my opinion is aesthetically stunning in both colourful and Leather finishes. The pods for the device allow for the coils to be replaced and has a unique filling method and their is both a MTL and DL coil included. The device has a physical fire button, different power settings, a large battery and battery status indication, lets give it a look.

Background
I originally received the Lyra from Lost Vape many weeks ago now and while liking the functionality of the device was not impressed with the coils. After only a short usage period They struggled to wick even with 50/50 liquid making the longevity of the coils unacceptable, i also found both coils gave a very cold vape and while i found the 0.6ohm mesh DL coil gave very decent flavour when fresh the flavour of the 1.2ohm regular coil was below average.
Lost Vape told me they were aware their was issues with the coils and had already improved them and sent out both a second device and spare coils for me to do further testing. You will find out in the review how the coils now perform (not perfect but much better especially the MTL coil) but was offered the device by Cigabuy to review so thought it was a great opportunity to test the retail device to make sure the coils match the improved coils that were sent more recently by Lost Vape and not the very poor performing original coils.
Indeed the coils that came with the retail device performed as the resent coils did so it does seem Lost Vape have resolved the problem so the rest of this review will be for the retail version sent by Cigabuy.

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Lyra came in the usual cardboard packaging and is a very aesthetically pleasing device. I received the Silver frame with leather panels (real leather), the device comes with either Silver, Rainbow, Blue, Black or Green frames which i believe are Zinc Alloy and all frame versions have the option of colourful design or Leather panels. The front of the device has a protruding, round, Silver fire button with translucent surround for LED indications, then at the bottom we have "LOST VAPE" embossed into the leather, the reverse Leather panel has "LYRA" embossed into it again at the bottom. Both sides have a large hole toward the top to allow air to the pod and at the bottom we have sets of slots for battery venting, one side also has a small hole with threading to be able to screw the included lanyard attachment into the device. The tinted pod is on full show as it just clips into the top open frame and both front and back tapers to be comfortable in the mouth. Moving to the base we have stamped branding and safety marks and also the micro USB port. The device is a nice portable size and weight and has a comparison is very similar in shape and size to the Nord.

The Pods
A lot of thought has gone into the pods and the top fill system. The pods hold 2ml of liquid so are TPD compliant and the base is metallic while the rest of the pod is the usual PCTG, the pod is tinted but lightly so there is no issues seeing your liquid level. The metallic base of the pod has the positive contact central which is surrounded by Peek which in turn has the negative circular surround. On both sides of the pod we have clips that can be pushed inwards, with these clips pushed in the mouthpiece section of the pod pulls off revealing the knurled top section of the coil and the filling ports which have silicone plugs. The fill ports are massive for a pod like system and having both open (so air can easily escape from one while filling using the other) i found it to be a mess free quick experience with all sort of nozzles, good job! It also is quite clever how we get the seal at the top of the coil but i will cover that in the next section. Once the pod has been filled the mouth section clips back on to the main section of the pod with a satisfying secure click, it's a really good filling system.
