Lostvape Ursa Baby Pro Review

Welcome back folks, today I have another review for you, and this time it’s a teeny tiny Pod device from the Lostvape.
Lostvape have jumped onto their Pod game a lot recently. While originally focused on larger systems, their initial offerings of the ‘Orion’ and ‘Q’ series’ were very well received, and changed up the Pod market a tonne some years ago.

Since then, their Pod devices have gotten even smaller, with their Lyra kit, Prana and Ursa ranges.
The Ursa Baby was then released offering up a funkier, and colorful more modern Pod device, using their own range of Ursa Nano pods specifically tailored to these low wattage devices.

We’ve got their next iteration of the Ursa Baby Pod to look at today, so let’s take a look at Lostvape Ursa Baby Pro Pod!

Big thanks goes to the legends at LostVape and Vaporstate, for sending this through for me to review!

General Info

Just like the Ursa Baby Pod, the new Ursa Baby Pro is more of a square shape, similar to how Uwell took their Caliburn and created the Koko, a very similar device, just with a slightly different orientation.
There is one huge difference here however, the main body is made from a tough and solid Zinc alloy, no plastic for the Pro! Being made of Zinc alloy, its also a little heavier, but does give an air of quality, precision and premium feel when you’re holding it.

It comes in at a tiny 46.5×15.2×71.6mm which is in my opinion, the perfect size for a small little device like this, and quite surprisingly, considering the square shape of the alloy, does indeed feel really comfortable in hand.

Lostvape have again tried to keep things simple here providing us with just the one button for adjustments, as well as a simple to use airflow adjustment, a usb type-c recharge port, and a small screen to keep an eye on your wattage and battery levels.

The Ursa Baby Pro uses the tried and true Quest Chipset with a wattage range between 5W and 25W, with pods that will carry 2.5ml of e-liquid, all powered by a 900mah internal battery.

The Body

The premium aesthetics don’t end with the Zinc Alloy body, Lostvape also added some nice faux leather accents around the main button panel, and on the back of the device, which is a really nice touch.

Up top, the Pod recess is quite interesting. It is very much your average looking recess with 2 gold plate pins at the base, with enough clearance for the pod to sit nicely inside the body giving it extra stability. Have a closer look though and you’ll notice that the pod recess also has quite an extra deep channel machined from the bottom which helps keep things cleaner, should you ever get a leak or a seeping pod (I haven’t had one yet).

Off to the front of the device, you’ll notice one large button, which is used not only for power on/off and firing the device, but also all of the wattage adjustments.
Below this you have a small 0.42in OLED Screen displaying your battery level, wattage, resistance and puff counter.
On the same side off to the left, a small airflow adjustment lever is provided so that you can adjust your air.

And off to one of the edges, you’ll find your USB Type-C charging port as well as a lanyard slot.

The PODs

Lostvape have developed two different types of pods for this device, one is an all in one Pod which has a self contained coil, and the other a Pod ‘shell’ so that you can use replaceable UB Mini S1 coils.
Regardless of which pod you use, they are both the same shape and size, are of the same tinted color and have the same silicone plug style fill ports, and duck billed mouth pieces. The difference between the two really is personal preference, and I love that LostVape have given us this choice.

• 0.6ohm Ursa fixed coil pod
  Obviously being a fixed coil pod, it’s a doddle to change out, and you’re going to get much less chance of e-liquid seepage, and a vape that is more consistent due to the quality control of the entire pod + coil from the manufacturer, however, it will come at a higher price tag.
  
• Empty replaceable coil Ursa pod + 0.8ohm UB Mini S1 coil
  On the flip side a replaceable coil is going to be cheaper to service, at the risk of potential seepage issues, and that the manufacturer has not specifically quality tested both the coil and pod together.

Airflow

The adjustable airflow is provided as a physical switch allowing you to adjust your airflow to your liking, no increments, just a smooth adjustment.

I will admit I was a little disappointed with the airflow adjustment, there just isn’t a lot of difference between the minimum and maximum settings. Being a sliding adjustment, I was expecting a much larger airflow difference, at minimum, a good MTL draw through to a more open DTL draw. However the airflow seems to hover around the restricted DTL draw to a slightly tighter restricted DTL draw.

Battery

The internal battery is 900mAh, and will provide you plenty of power when running one of the higher resistance pods/coils, you’ll likely get just less than a full day of use though with one of the 0.6ohm pods/coils so do be wary that you’ll need to charge it. Thankfully with a 2amp charge rate through the USB Type-C port, you’re going to get a full battery charged pretty quickly.

Filling

Filling is super simple, remove the pod, hold it on it’s side, and open the silicone cover to reveal the fill port.
Fill the pod up replace the silicone cover, put the pod back in the device, and vape away. Couldn’t be easier.

I will note that it would be a lot easier to fill if the fill port was actually on the side, instead of on the front face of the pod. You have to hold it at a strange angle and it is difficult to fill completely with the hole in it’s existing position.

Any Leaks?

None at all. I haven’t experienced any leaks with either pod/coil combo during the time I’ve been using it. (about 3 weeks)

Pros:

• Small size
• Plenty of info on display
• Simple airflow adjustment
• Non leaking pods
• Up to 25 Watts in a small size

Cons:

• Not a lot of variance in airflow when adjusting
• Can be difficult to fill pod to full due to location of fill hole.

Where to Buy:

The LostVape Ursa Baby Pro, as always in Australia is available to purchase through Vaporstate. You can pick up the Lostvape Ursa Baby Pro for around the $55 AUD mark.

Conclusion

All in all, this is a pretty solid offering from Lostvape. I do have a few cons but in reality, they are only small things, and mostly preference based gripes, such as the airflow not having a MTL option, the battery not lasting a full day, and the pods being a little difficult to fill.

In fairness, this is a very well made device, it is solid and strong, looks great, performs really well, and has some wonderful flavour to it.
The Ursa Baby Pro is going to be right up the alley of those who are looking for a compact yet strong, direct to lung style pod device, for out and about for a few hours at a time. Whether you prefer replaceable coils or replacing the entire pod, Lostvape have you covered with that too, offering both solutions in the same box for you to try out yourself and decide.

Great work Lostvape!
