Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Q-Pro Kit from Lost Vape. The Q-Pro Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Lotus from Lost Vape.

Introduction
Lost Vape are known for their quality regulated devices hosting the DNA chipset and have gained a great reputation as well as manufacturing quality affordable devices through their sister brand Modefined. The Orion DNA GO saw their entry into the AIO Pod market which was followed by a couple more pod systems under the Quest brand which houses a proprietary chipset one of which was a budget version of the Orion. More recently we saw the release of the Orion Plus which is an upgraded version of the Orion DNA Go offering replaceable coils, better compatibility and has 5 rather than 3 power settings. The Q-Pro Kit is both the updated version of the Orion Q and the budget version of the Orion Plus offering the same 5 power settings, replaceable coils and the same excellent compatibility. The Q-Pro powered by Lost Vapes proprietary chipset may not be able to have settings altered via Escribe as the Orion Plus can but it's out the box settings are a match for most pod/AIO devices available so more than worth a look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
I am not going to go into great detail as the device will be explained as the review goes on and plenty of pictures are included. The Q-Pro is a small portable device which fits in the hand nicely or can be worn around the neck using the supplied lanyard. The Chassis is Zinc Alloy and comes in different frame colours and the panels come in various materials. I received the Ochre Stabwood version, the options are Blue Stabwood, Ochre Stabwood, Red Stabwood, Silver Weave, Black Weave, Blue Weave, Gold Weave, Rainbow Weave, SS Fantasy, Black Ocean, Blue Aurora, Gold Dazzling and Rainbow. The Q-Pro is made very solidly and really can't fault it's build quality.

The Pods
Unlike the Orion Go and original Orion Q where the coils couldn't be replaced in the pods so every time a coil no longer performed it was the whole pod that needed replacing the Q-Pro pods are like the Orion Plus pods so accommodate replaceable coils. The Q-Pro has 3 coil options which are the 1.0ohm Q-Pro regular coil but it also accommodates the Orion Plus 0.5ohm regular coil (included) and the Orion Plus 0.25ohm mesh coil, both Orion Plus coils are SS316L.
Of late only receiving one pod with pod devices is becoming the unfortunate trend so a big pro for the fact you receive both the 1.0ohm coil (pre-installed) and the 0.5ohm coil. The pod gets fixed into place via a catch that has a release switch on the side of the device towards the top, the switch and locking mechanism seems very durable and the pod snaps into place very securely. The whole of the pod is visible and the pod is not as darkly tinted as the pods for the Orion Go or original Orion Q, in fact they are just slightly tinted and the e-liquid can be clearly seen with no problems whatsoever.
The pod has a proprietary Delrin drip tip which is very comfortable between the lips, we also have adjustable airflow which is found at the base of the drip tip. The airflow control is dual mini cyclops and there is some texturing for grip, it moves less freely than on the Orion Go and Orion Q in fact it seems to be the exact same designed pod that comes with the Orion Plus and wish it was just slightly looser but i'm being a bit petty.
Also on the top of the pod we have a cap with texturing for grip, this is for filling the pod so the pod doesn't need removing to fill. The threading on the cap is good and an o-ring completes the seal, the fill hole is very generous so even glass droppers will be fine. The pod holds 2ml of e-liquid and when purchasing a replacement pod it comes with both a 0.25ohm coil pre-installed and a 0.5ohm coil when buying an Orion Plus pod (which is fully compatible) or a 1.0ohm coil (pre-installed) and an extra coil in the packaging when buying the 1.0ohm pod. Just the coils can be purchased as the pods should last for many coil changes, all 3 coil types come in packs of five.
___________________________________________________________________
Fitting The Coils
As mentioned one of the upgrades is that the pod accommodates replacement coils. The replacement coils come attached to a rectangular base section so rather than unscrewing the base from the pod and then the coils being screwed inside that base the whole base section is replaced with each coil change.
To remove a coil you need to unscrew the drip tip and adjustable airflow section, this allows you to touch the top of the chimney section of the installed coil. You need to press down on the chimney with a bit of force which moves the coil downwards, now enough of the base section can be gripped to pull out the base and coil section.
Installing the new base and coil section is just the simple task of press fitting into place and then screwing the drip tip/airflow section back into place which screws on to the top of the chimney.
Cons are hard to find with the Q-Pro as a couple of the cons i had with the first generation Orion's have been addressed but i must say trying to remove the pre-installed coil took quite some effort although once you have had e-liquid going through the pod removing the coil after the first initial time was easier.
