Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review I take a look at the Centaurus Quest BF 100W Mod from Lost Vape. The Lost Vape Centaurus Quest BF 100W Mod was sent for the purpose of this review by Sourcemore.
Lost Vape Centaurus Quest BF Mod 100W Vape Mod
Introduction
The Centaurus Quest BF Mod is a regulated BF device with a bit of a Wow factor, unless I'm just easily pleased! Coming with Power, Voltage, Bypass, Curves and full TC suite the Centaurus covers the vaping needs of most and has a build quality more in line with Lost Vapes high end devices!
As well as hosting a 9.5ml BF bottle it also comes with a storage bottle with viewing window in it's solid front so instead of using the device in BF mode you can also use with standard atomisers (yes this is true for all BF devices) while having 9.5ml carried in the device to fill your atomiser rather than carrying an extra juice bottle!
With it's clean valve system, bottom filling method and accommodating both a 21700 and Type C USB the Centaurus BF device is a head turner, let's crack on!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Centaurus BF Mod came in simple cardboard packaging but within is a device a cut above the norm! With it's solid construction, luxurious Leather spine and side coloured display allowing for both the bottle and fire button to be pressed via the face section it is just a great design and there is plenty more! For it's solid look it's not over heavy which is a good job because once we have 9.5ml of liquid on board, 21700 and atomiser up top this feels substantial yet with it's curved Leather spine and mentioned front positioned bottle and fire button it feels great in the hand!
I received the SS Ukiran Leather version which has a Stainless Steel colour (it's Zinc Alloy) main body with a Worn Blue Leather spine which I just love, with it's side display and then Carbon Fiber panel on the opposite side it does look very busy which many will like but some won't, it's very typically Lost Vape! The colour options are Black Ukiran Leather, Gunmetal Ukiran Leather, SS Ukiran Leather, Black Crocodile, SS Crocodile or Gunmetal Pearl Fish!
Underneath that screen we have 3 rectangular function buttons lined up vertically followed by a Type C USB connection, this whole section protrudes from the side of the device, the panel on the opposite side although looking good is very definitely Carbon fiber effect and has a hard plastic feel to it. On the face we have towards the top a square light switch style fire button which is really nice and clicky, underneath we have a large capacity bottle within a cradle!
Moving to the base and to the rear we have a battery plate with fold out lever and venting, to the front is the base of the BF bottle/storage bottle (when fitted) which has a small circular threaded plate with central raised bar to get purchase with your fingers to be able to unscrew for filling purposes! Finally up top towards the front of the device we have the 24mm Stainless Steel plate with BF 510!

Squonk Assembly And Storage Bottle:
It comes with two identical squonk bottle assembly's one having a solid plastic cover with elongated viewing window preventing the pressing of the bottle so essentially acting as an in-built liquid storage bottle while using the device with standard atomisers. The main squonk bottle assembly of course doesn't have this cover allowing it to be pressed to dispense e-liquid from the bottle through the BF 510 into the atomiser!
The top of the bottle has a valve which is open when an atomiser is fitted but then resets on the atomisers removal, the system worked flawlessly as soon as I found it much preferred a couple of long presses rather than multiple short presses! The only thing that does confuse me is they say it's a one way valve yet one of the things I really liked about this system is excess e-liquid goes back down into the bottle, not so good if using with some RDTA's but really works great with RDA's helping to prevent over squonking!
The bottle assembly (squonk or storage) just slides into position and a little clip either side fastens it secure. Now I have heard some find these clips failing although not sure how badly that actually effects things as many Facebook posts I have read when these clips have failed the poster still seems to be using and enjoying the device, I am pleased to report I received mine at Christmas and have been using it quite a lot and had no issues whatsoever with the clips!
We have a little plate with central raised bar on the base of the bottle assembly, unscrewing this plate reveals a large filling port although screwing back secure can be quite fiddly! filling can be done with the assembly installed which is a great pros although if I was going to be hyper picky I wish it was a valve like on the Delta but at least with this it can be filled very quickly! One final thing the storage bottle also comes with a tip cover!

Fitting Your Battery
The Centaurus Quest BF Mod accommodates either a single 21700, 20700 or with the supplied adaptor an 18650 battery! The battery is fitted via the bottom of the device by unscrewing the battery plate.
This style of installing your battery is old school but much loved and still used on many high end devices, you can't damage your wraps and it guarantees you will get no battery movement. I particularly like this style when a fold out lever is included making it much quicker and less fiddly to secure in place however we do have a sturdy spring loaded positive contact so some downward pressure is needed before the threading catches, on this battery plate as well as a fold out lever we also have venting holes which is good to see, the threading is nice and smooth so as far as I am concerned full marks!

The Display
I really like this display, it's sharp, uses colour well and gives plenty of information but is very well laid out and not cluttered!
At the top we have the resistance to the left and battery status bar to the right, the charge is also given as a percentage, below we have the mode followed by the wattage, temperature or voltage depending which mode you are using.
Below to the left we have the vape duration and then to the right a person icon and 1, 2 or 3 which just signifies the current settings are in one of the memory slots. Further down to the left we have the pre-heat which will be soft, Normal or Hard and to the right the four digit puff counter, finally at the bottom we have settings which when selected enters the extra settings menu!
