My good friends at Sourcemore sent this Lost Vape Centaurus N200 mod out for me to have a play with.
Ah, back to a mod for a change, and it’s where I feel most comfortable review wise. Lost Vape have gone from high end DNA mods to releasing their in house own stuff over the past few years and their efforts are generally very good. I’ve always felt a certain sense of quality when I use a Lost Vape mod. They’ve been releasing a few different Centaurus mods and kits recently, and this is the latest one from that range.
The Centaurus N200 is a dual 18650 battery mod that goes up to 200W. The whole thing is made from polycarbonate plastic, so it leaves the whole setup quite light in the hand. There are plastic panels on either side, which suggests you can customize with different colours, but I’ve not seen separate ones for sale as yet. The mod has plus and minus adjustment buttons, a difference from the smaller N100, which has a jog wheel, and there’s a slide switch underneath these buttons to switch off the device fully, rather than just locking it, quite handy for when putting in a pocket or bag.
In the box you get:
- 1 Centaurus N200 Box Mod
- 1 Type-C Cable
- 1 User Manual
- 1 Warranty Card

Style wise, it’s quite boxy and reminiscent of some older mods. The edges are still reasonably rounded though, and don’t cut into you, but those with smaller hands may prefer the N100 21700 version as this one is a largish mod. As mentioned already, there are two panels that come off so that you could use the ones from the other colours available That’d mean having at least two of these mods though so you’d have to really like them to do that. One side is cosmetic and the other reveals the battery sled. The panels do have a bit of give in them, and while you have to work to make them slide/rattle, they do and that will annoy some people.

The whole body is plastic and a kind of frosted translucent so you can see some of the insides, my one has a nice gradient pink hue to it, it’s called Night Sakura, to evoke cherry blossoms, and it is quite lovely. One thing that I am quite taken with is the surround on the fire button, it’s a shiny metallic and is quite striking. The 0.96” TFT screen below is set off by the, also previously mentioned, adjustment buttons and the off switch, with the USB Type C port beneath that.

Functions are limited on this mod. You can click the fire button three times to go between normal and RBA modes. I’m a touch puzzled as I don’t see any difference other than the screen changes colour, the order of info and an added voltage indicator field on the RBA screen. It’s still a nice touch on a simple type of mod and would make newer users feel fancy. You can still lock the adjustment buttons if you don’t want to switch the mod off by holding both adjustment buttons for three seconds and same again to unlock. To clear the puff counter, you can hold the fire and minus adjustment. Finally, there’s an added LED light underneath the fire button to visually let you see the battery level, purple for 80-100%, green for 60-80%, blue for 40-60%, white for 20-40% and red for 0-20%.
In use I fired on my trusty mesh rebuildable and set it at my usual 53W. The mod fires nicely and both modes gave me the same vape, so I still don’t really notice a difference. A stock coil tank gave the same results so it’s all really about how much you like the design as the quest 2.0 chip inside the mod works well and doesn’t sag when the battery is low. That’s not to take away from how good the Quest 2.0 chip is, I’ve always found them to give a nice consistent vape from full power to low, and on higher spec models the functions and UI are very good as well.

Final Thoughts
My review has probably painted the N200 as a simple mod, and that is what it is. It’s a high-powered mod with a clear UI and simple controls for those who want to just pop on a tank, set their wattage, and vape away. The addition of the LED battery indicator is handy as you don’t need to peer at the screen to see how much power you have left, and the off switch is something I also love as I can just switch it off and pop it in my pocket when I leave the house without worrying it’ll fire up while I’m bumbling about the place.
I like the simple design and the harking back to older days of boxy mods, plus the fire button surround is lovely and shiny.
Thanks again to Sourcemore for sending the Lost Vape Centaurus N200 over to me to test out. They did give me a discount code, but I’ve had it over the festive period so it’s even cheaper now on the site!

- Nice simple mod that’s easy to use
- Lightweight and comfortable
- Easy to understand screen
- Little bit of give on the side panels

Reviewer at POTVI was a very militant smoker for many years…why would I stop doing the only thing I had left that I liked doing? Then I fell into vaping in 2017. My wife bought a cheap kit off from Amazon that stopped working and I took it to a local vape shop to see what they could do with it. An hour later and full of new knowledge about watts, ohms, and juice strength, I headed home with a new nautilus mini tank for her and raved to her about the helpful guy in the shop. I must have bored her with all my new found information. I tried her vape that night, and a week later bought my own kit. Then I found POTV and the amazingly helpful and generous people on it. A month later I was making my own (disgusting) vape juice, and a month after that I was winding coils for my new RDA. Six years on and I'm much better at making juice, and I now have no money but lots of shiny mods and tanks
