The Centaurus Q200 Pro Kit from Lost Vape pairs a dual 18650 box mod with the Centaurus V2 Sub Ohm tank. The kit includes two UB Max coils, a spare glass section, replacement O rings, a very short USB Type-C cable, and user manuals and warranty guides in multiple languages.

This review focuses on design, setup and real world performance based on hands on use with the supplied coils and a high-PG/PG blend e-liquid.

What you get in the box of the Centaurus Q200 Pro Kit

  • Centaurus Q200 box mod (dual 18650)
  • Centaurus V2 Sub Ohm tank
  • Two UB Max coils: one 0.3 ohm and one 0.15 ohm
  • Spare straight glass with O rings
  • Short USB Type-C cable
  • Multi language user manual for both tank and mod
  • Warranty guide

The cable supplied is very short, so you may prefer to use a longer cable you already own for convenience.

Key specifications

  • Device type: Dual 18650 sub ohm vape kit
  • Maximum output: Up to 200 W
  • Battery compatibility: 2 x 18650 cells
  • Resistance range: 0.1 ohm to 3.0 ohm
  • Tank included: Centaurus V2 Sub Ohm tank
  • Coil platform: UB Max coils
  • Included coils: 0.3 ohm and 0.15 ohm UB Max coils
  • Drip tip: 810 compatible

Design and build

The mod uses a C-frame design and accepts two 18650 cells. There is a physical on/off switch on the device for powering up. The screen is larger than earlier iterations in the same design family and the fire button occupies a generous amount of the front face for easy operation.

The Centaurus V2 tank is a top airflow design. The locking and fill method is unusual: you need to turn part of the top cap and then slide it to unlock the fill section. There is a fill port once you open it. Coils install from the base with a straightforward push fit.

The kit’s drip tip is 810 compatible, so replacement options are wide if you prefer a different mouthpiece profile.

Centaurus Q200 Pro Mod features and menu

The mod supports up to 200 watts and accepts resistances from 0.1 ohm to 3.0 ohm when using dual batteries.

Menu options include:

  • Wattage mode
  • Boost mode
  • Voltage mode
  • Three selectable metal types for temperature control
  • Theme selection for the display
  • Brightness control
  • Lock power and reset options

A larger screen with theme options improves usability and makes data easier to read on the bench or in the hand.

Lost Vape Centaurus V2 Sub-Ohm Tank

Lost Vape Centaurus V2 Sub-Ohm Tank

The Lost Vape Centaurus V2 Sub Ohm Tank is a top airflow tank with a locking top-fill system, 810 drip tip compatibility and support for Lost Vape UB Max coils.

Best for

  • Direct lung vaping
  • UB Max coil users
  • Smooth top airflow

Setting up the Centaurus V2 tank and coils

The UB Max coils are user friendly and are installed into the base of the tank. The coil installed in this test was the 0.15 ohm unit and it uses exposed wicking ports.

Pre-wicking method used:

  1. Apply a few drops of e-liquid to each exposed wick hole to wet the cotton.
  2. Add a little e-liquid down the centre chimney to saturate the coil faster.
  3. Fit the coil into the base and assemble the tank.
  4. Fill the tank via the fill port and lock the top cap into position.
  5. Allow a recommended wait time of around 15 minutes for full saturation before vaping.

This pre-wicking approach reduces the chance of dry hits during the initial puffs and helps the coil prime quickly.

Lost Vape UB Max Replacement Coils

Lost Vape UB Max Replacement Coils

Lost Vape UB Max replacement coils are designed for compatible Lost Vape sub ohm tanks, including the Centaurus V2, with lower resistance options for DTL flavour and vapour production.

Type: Replacement CoilsRange: UB MaxUse: DTLTank: Centaurus V2

Best for

  • Replacing worn coils
  • Sub ohm flavour
  • Lost Vape tank users

Performance and vaping experience

Testing was carried out with the 0.15 ohm coil at roughly 65 watts using a fruit forward, sweet e-liquid. The tank delivered a smooth draw with significant flavour clarity for a top airflow sub ohm tank.

Observations:

  • Airflow felt very smooth with only a slight whistle typical of top airflow designs.
  • Flavour reproduction was good with the supplied coil and the tank matched the character of the e-liquid used.
  • Vapour production at 65 watts was substantial; starting lower and increasing in small steps is advisable, especially with the lower resistance coil.

The 0.3 ohm coil provided a more forgiving option for vapers who prefer slightly lower power and a steadier ramp.

Practical notes

  • The tank’s locking mechanism is secure but takes a moment to get used to. Practise the turn and slide action when the tank is cool and empty.
  • The push-fit coil installation makes swaps quick. Always pre-wet the exposed wicking ports and wait the suggested 15 minutes to avoid dry hits.
  • The physical battery on/off switch is useful for transport and storage safety.
  • The supplied USB cable is functional but very short; you may want a longer cable for convenience.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Straightforward coil installation and easy to prime
  • Smooth airflow and good flavour from the Centaurus V2 tank
  • Large, customisable display and convenient menu options
  • Dual 18650 power platform with up to 200 watt output
  • 810 drip tip compatibility

Cons:

  • Unusual top cap locking mechanism may take time to learn
  • Short USB Type-C cable supplied
  • No software support included at launch

Verdict

The Centaurus Q200 Pro kit is a competent sub ohm package for vapers who want a dual 18650 mod with a large screen and a straightforward top airflow tank. The UB Max coils are easy to install and prime, and the 0.15 ohm head delivers strong flavour and vapour when run at appropriate power levels.

It's a practical option for vapers looking to move beyond single-battery setups or who want a capable, user friendly sub ohm tank that accepts 810 drip tips. Expect to spend a little time learning the tank's locking and filling motion, and consider using a longer USB-C cable for everyday charging.
