Another excursus on Lost Vape, which after many pods and box mods returns to the AIO world. After having tried with a BB inspired, this time it opts to take inspiration from the design that for now, seems to be the most popular on AIOs: the most open one possible to defeat the most boring problem in this world: condensation. Lost Vape Centaurus G80S/G80 honored by HealthCabin.
Measures 82 x 31 x 48, 116 grams the weight without boron, with one of the two inserted it reaches about 150 grams. Aluminum the body, PCTG the panels. Inside the box, everything and more: in addition to the Centaurus G80 AIO, 2 drip tips, a key to unscrew the nut, o-rings galore, a USB Type-C cable, chimney adapter, user manual, a warranty card.
First section to configure the G80 with pre-made heads with an empty UB AIO pod, a UB Ultra M7 0.2ohm coil, a UB Ultra M8 0.15ohm coil. Rebuildable section with a Centaurus Boro tank with its RBA, two airfpins plus a third installed, a screwdriver and the base to initialize the coil. The difference between the G80 and G80S is the presence or absence of its RBA.
The upper side features a plate to reinforce the structure of the Centaurus G80, secured by 4 screws and engraved with the Centaurus logo. First option to allow reading of the chosen atomizer, the nut with a 510 connection where it is possible to install any drip tip equipped with this connection, from the one already present in the package (with an aesthetic ring-like design) to those used on your favorite RTAs. Equipped with two notches to be unscrewed with the supplied key. Second choice, the nut with integrated drip tip, more oriented to flavor.
Large caseback, the sister B80 thanks to the weight was still stable but the G80 is even more so. Caseback secured by 4 screws, with CE and disposal marking and “designed by Lost Vape”. A sign that Lost Vape also tries in every way to advise against recharging the batteries, the USB type-C socket is installed on the caseback.
PCTG door that holds the body thanks to magnets with a design full of slots. Not enough to show the battery wrap as is fashionable in the AIO world, but still more covering, in terms of dirt that does not infiltrate too much into the battery compartment.
The battery compartment is quite large, so much so that I think a few more mm would have been enough to also allow for 21700s. The large amount of space is designed to allow for easy extraction and insertion of the 18650 batteries, so much so that for aesthetic purposes since it would be visible, the strap present on all the Lost Vape boxes I have tried so far, including the Centaurus B80, has not been inserted. Spring-loaded gold-plated pin is also very mobile, which makes it easy to remove the battery that must be inserted, as engraved on the compartment with the positive facing down.
Front side the polycarbonate door, material that has been used for the entire body of the P (200) and N (100 and 200) box line on which Lost Vape feels very confident. I have also had the panels of the Centaurus B80 for a year and a half, still intact without cracks but there are some superficial scratches. On the G80 the design chosen by Lost Vape has been called “diagonal striped mechanical” with 5 slots on both sides and front, to prevent condensation and always allow, even if you cover a piece of airflow while holding it, air to enter.
Fire button placed on the upper side, perfect for those who are used to thumb activation but especially those like me, who think that some AIOs are more designed for left-handed people, with a “strange” key mapping or for left-handed people themselves who see an AIO that is comfortable to hold. Generous dimensions too.
Double spring-loaded pin already proposed on the B80, similar to those of the pod mods that allow precise readings even for other borons, in addition to the two borons included in the G80 package.
OLED screen size of only 0.42 inches.
Reading boron different from its possible, they just need to be inserted with a little patience since the mobile pin must be lowered (physically) to allow entry. As always in this world, compatibility with 100% of boron and bridge, considering that every modder seems to do as he wants, cannot be there. Chipset that I believe is the usual Lost Vape Quest even though it is in fact, the re-proposal for functions similar to the one installed on many Lost Vape boxes. The 0.42 inches obviously castrate the information that can be shown on the screen, with a single battery indicator, the wattage, a 4-digit puff counter and the value in ohm of the coil. Selection from 5 to 80 watts.
- 5 clicks fire button to turn the G80 on or off
- 3 clicks fire button to switch from “smart” mode to RBA
- fire button and + button to lock the watt selection buttons (fire active)
- fire button and – button to reset the puffs
Minimal chipset, with the smart and RBA modes that differ because the smart sets the watts based on the resistance read. In the RBA there is no “boost” as there is in the Lost Vape box mod, i.e. a better regulation designed in case you use complex coils.
The first offering from Centaurus G80 is the UB AIO pod (right), a “structure” that allows you to use (part of) the pre-made UB Ultra Coils. The one included in the G80 kit is in transparent PCTG, but there is also a smoked version to buy aftermarket, all of them, including the one in the kit with a capacity of 5 ml. A selling point could be that you don’t need to fiddle with replacement pins or settle for fixed airiness, but you can adjust the draw via an airflow ring.
Rubber that allows refilling even with chubby, slightly difficult to operate at first but after a bit of use it is extracted much more easily.
The insertion of the UB Ultra Coil is by pressure, remembering to be delicate that despite the thickness of the insertion point is quite thick, it is always PCTG. Coil offer sent from that of the B80, with a choice between three UB Ultra coils with mesh section
- M8 0.15 ohm (60-80W) –> Present in the package
- M7 0.2 ohm (40-60W) –> Present in the package
- M6 0.3 ohm (30-40W)
Which virtually, are two since the M8 is hard to manage with a single 18650. Even this time the M6, more interesting and sensible is not inserted. The M7 made the same impression on me as late 2023, ok flavour coil in a tank that has the pro of holding 5 ml. Very responsive even at 37-40 watts, with a good 18650 it has a “doable” autonomy.
Second option much more customizable, the Centaurus Boro Tank with its RBA. Always made of transparent PCTG and capacity of 5 ml, refill via cap or as I do, from the bottom much more practical and forgives imperfect backcombs. To help with extraction there is also a mini tooth on the PCTG, which also indicates the direction of insertion. Disassembling it for everyday use, you have the last part of the chimney/graft held to the chimney/bell by threading and o-ring, while the bell and deck have no o-rings. The deck is installed on the pressure metal base and held by o-rings, as is that of the entire PCTG structure.
Parallel turrets with lateral wire insertion through two notches, as in the photo the fastest solution to tighten them is to leave the legs long and use pliers to hold them still. Cut grains, airpin that should be understood to be flush with the deck, double buttonhole where the cotton must be passed following the usual rule no snags, no suspended cotton or with the pressure it moves and begins to lose liquid.
Atom that prefers an open mtl with the 2 mm hole or rdl with the 3. The 1 mm one is as I anticipated for the B80, towards more of a 0.9 mm and it is truly forgettable. Creams fruity mentholated flavored tobaccos vapable, NET maybe I would veer on something else but why not if you like cigars. In the more specific use, it is possible to disassemble the airpin or use its base to initialize the coil.
Airpin system – reading pin all a single gold-plated body with a choice of 1 2 and 3 mm held in place by a thread. By unscrewing the pin, the positive turret is also freed so be careful to do the operation with the build installed.
Final things: it is a kit that floods the user with options. A box, an atomizer with heads and an rba with boron that are paid no more than 15 euros each and a free drip tip, and accessories galore. If you need a low-cost AIO for the holidays or you don’t want to spend a lot to do a test in the AIO world, with the Centaurus G80 you can get a complete overview both with pre-made coils and with an rba. Which is what happened to me with the B80 kit, also from Lost Vape thanks to which I learned tricks, joys and sorrows of this world.
