Lostvape Thelema Mini Kit Review

Hey folks, today I’m going to show you something that I’m actually quite impressed with.

If you’ve ever been in the situation where you’d love a small out and about device, without it weighing down your pocket, but still want to have a full, dense vape, similar to what you might get on your higher wattage device, you’re really going to dig this one.

You might even be a MTL vaper and want something with a little more battery life than the usual Pod kits that get pushed out so often, you’ll love this too!

Introducing Lostvapes latest full internal battery kit! The Thelema Mini kit! Let’s check it out.

Big thanks goes to Vaporstate and of course Lostvape, who sent this out for the purposes of review!

General Info

So, of course by now you’re intrigued, I’ve talked this up a bit, what exactly impresses me about this setup?
Well, there’s nothing really new about a mini kit, there’s been tonnes similarly released over the years with lower maximum wattage outputs than their larger counterparts, 20, 30, 40 watt kits even larger 60 watt kits. What most of them lack however, is a suitable tank that produces a vape similar to their larger brethren. In other words, there are heaps of smaller setups that vape like smaller setups. The Thelema mini does not vape like a smaller setup.

This tiny kit measuring in at only 32.8×24.6×70.5mm, has all of the bells and whistles of larger setups. It fits snugly in your hand, is very lightweight, has adjustable airflow, adjustable wattage, a 1500mah internal battery, USB Type C charging port, and is paired with a top notch tank that takes some pretty impressive coils pushing out a much bigger vape that you’d ever expect.

The Thelema Mini Mod

Built from zinc alloy and stainless steel, the Thelema Mini Mod is classy. It is a c-bodied closed mod with 1500mah internal battery, comes in several awesome colour combinations, with an embossed leather or leather-like heel that is just so damned sexy. This is an impressive looking and well built device.

All of the controls are laid out as you’d expect, large fire button up top, black and white display showing you all of the vital information you’ll need (battery indicator, resistance, wattage, puff counter and puff timer). Below that are your two up and down function buttons and at the base, you’ll find your USB Type C charging port.

Due to it’s size, unfortunately you wont see any other modes besides your basic adjustable wattage, but that’s ok, being a maximum 45 Watt device and using factory coils, you’re still getting the vape that Lost Vape intended.
While there isn’t a lot of functionality here, there are some button combinations for basic things, like wattage lock and resetting the puff counter.

Here’s a quick run down on how to use the Thelema Mini Mod

• Pressing the fire button x5 fast, switches the device on and off
• To lock and unlock the wattage buttons press the Fire button and the “+” buttons together (hold for 3-5 seconds)
• To clear the puff counter, press the Fire button and the “-” buttons together (hold for 3-5 seconds)
• Use the “+” and “-” buttons to adjust wattage.
  
  

The UB Lite Tank

Now the Thelema Mini Kit is going to be sold in two different styles, with two different toppers in the box. The one that I’ve received is the kit with the UB Lite Tank (glass tank), but you are going to be able to purchase this kit with the UB Lite Pod I believe also. Either way you choose, both will be able to use the UB Lite Coils previously found in the Ursa Mini, as well as the 3 new variations that Lost vape have added to the list, with upgraded lifespan and better flavour performance.

The UB Lite tank totally suits the mod and is very much the perfect combo in my opinion. It’s small, only 22mm in diameter, is top fill, bottom airflow, with an adjustable airflow ring allowing you to choose an airflow anywhere between a really tight MTL draw right up to a fairly open restricted DTL inhale.
To get a really tight MTL draw, simply close the airflow all the way, turn your wattage down, and you’ll be in that MTL aficionado zone in no time!

With a top fill port which lives under a top cap that unscrews, filling is easy, and is well sealed with a rubber washer pushing against a well machined stainless top.

With the combination of the new UB Lite coils and adjustable wattage and airflow, this little beast packs a punch that puts out some phenomenal flavour!

I did notice one thing with this tank, and it’s not really a con, but for lack of finding anything else, it can get a little noisy when the airflow is fully open. Like I said, not really a con, more a preference 🙂

UB Lite Coils

As I mentioned earlier, Lostvape have released another 3 UB Lite coils that are not only improved for longevity, but also for more flavour performance. You’ll receive two of the three in this kit, the 0.3Ohm and 1.2Ohm examples are a great way to try out the Thelema Mini with both “Restricted Direct to lung” and “Mouth to Lung” styles of vaping.
Both provide lovely dense vapour and excellent flavour.

Filling the tank

As always with Lostvape’s gear, filling is really simple. Remove the screw down top cap, to reveal the fill port, and fill away! This time around the fill port is on a naked stainless steel deck with the sealing grommit under the cap, for minimal fuss. You also get a spare grommit in the spare parts bag!

Any Leaks?

None. Being bottom airflow, I have actually expected some, but there has been none at all! I’m not exactly sure how this magic works, but I’m not going to question the coil gods on this one. The catch cup that holds the coil in place is also bone dry!

Pros:

• Wonderful design and aesthetics
• Built tough with excellent tolerances
• Easy to use
• Super tiny, great for out and about
• Wonderful flavourful coils

Cons:

• Airflow can be a little noisy (not really a con)
  

Where to Buy:

As always with Lostvape’s gear, you will be able to pick the Thelema Mini kit up through their Australian partner, Vaporstate. It’s not available yet, but you should keep you’re eyes peeled as it’s likely to be available and in stock very soon!

Conclusion

This is a really great pairing. The smaller, fit in your palm mod, paired with the UB Lite Tank is a clear winner, not only in looks but functionality. This kit really does perform well, with a lovely rich dense vapour and phenomenal flavour!

I’ve had a really great experience in giving this quite a run, and would definitely pick it up again in the future for those times that I need an out and about device for a few hours, and am looking for something small, lightweight, and will push out some quality vape that you might only expect from a larger setup.

I’ve really struggled to come up with any “cons” with the Thelema Mini, and the best I can come up with is that the airflow on the UB Lite Tank can be a little noisy with the airflow wide open. Tune it down a little, and the noisiness goes away. As you can see, not really a con at all.

All in all, this is a wonderful little vape, perfect for a beginner, or someone looking for a smaller and portable vape. It’s well thought out, build and machined well, with long lasting and flavourful coils!

Great job Lostvape!
