Lost Vape Thelema Elite Art 40 Pod Kit

The Lost Vape Thelema Elite Art 40 Pod Kit is a refillable MTL and RDL pod kit with a 1400mAh battery, 40W output and a see-through juice window, for £15.99. Best for ex-disposable users; not ideal for cloud chasing.

Key Facts

• The Lost Vape Thelema Elite Art 40 Pod Kit costs £15.99 in the UK as of July 2026.
• The Thelema Elite Art 40 has a 1400mAh built-in battery with 5W to 40W output on the Quest 2.0 chipset.
• The kit includes two refillable 2ml E Plus cartridges: 0.3 ohm (30W to 40W) and 0.6 ohm (16W to 25W).
• The Thelema Elite Art 40 charges over USB-C in roughly 60 to 80 minutes and supports button firing and auto-draw.

The Lost Vape Thelema Elite Art 40 Pod Kit is a 40W refillable pod kit on Lost Vape's E Plus cartridge platform, with a 1400mAh battery and adjustable airflow, at £15.99 with two pods included. It covers a tight, cigarette-style MTL draw through to restricted direct-lung.

The translucent artwork body sets it apart from the standard Thelema Elite 40: the e-liquid level stays visible without pulling the pod off, which reviewers on E-Cigarette Forum called the best reason to pick the Art edition. Ex-disposable users get a familiar draw at a fraction of the daily cost of a bar.

Key Specs Customers Check

• Battery: 1400mAh built-in. A full day of MTL vaping; heavy 40W use needs a midday top-up.
• Output: 5W to 40W, Quest 2.0 chipset. Wattage sets itself to match the fitted coil.
• Pod capacity: 2ml (UK TPD). Side-fill E Plus cartridges for freebase or nic salt e-liquid.
• Coils included: 0.3 ohm and 0.6 ohm. The 0.3 ohm gives a warmer, airier draw; the 0.6 ohm is the MTL pod.
• Charging: USB-C, roughly 60 to 80 minutes. Cable included.
• Airflow: adjustable side slider. Close it for a cigarette-like draw or open it for more vapour.

Pick Your Inhale: MTL or Restricted DTL

MTL (mouth to lung) means drawing vapour into the mouth first, like a cigarette; DTL (direct to lung) means inhaling straight to the lungs. The coil sets the style:

• 0.6 ohm pod, 16W to 25W: MTL to loose MTL. Close the airflow for the tightest draw. Kindest to the battery.
• 0.3 ohm pod, 30W to 40W: restricted DTL with a warm, dense hit. Owners on the Planet of the Vapes forum settled on 32W with airflow slightly closed.

Cloud chasers should pick a higher-powered rechargeable vape instead; this kit tops out at 40W.

Key Features

• Visible juice level: the translucent tank shows the e-liquid level without removing the pod, helping avoid dry hits.
• Smart wattage: the Quest 2.0 chip reads the coil and sets a safe power level automatically, then allows manual adjustment.
• Leak-free running: reviewers on Planet of the Vapes and E-Cigarette Forum ran the stock pods without leaks or condensation.
• Boost-stable output: power stays flat as the battery drains instead of fading near empty.

Coils and E-Liquid Pairing

In the 0.6 ohm pod, use 50/50 e-liquid or 10ml nic salts: 20mg salts match a 20mg disposable for heavier smokers; lighter smokers should start at 10mg. In the 0.3 ohm pod, use 60VG to 70VG juice at 3mg or 6mg freebase. 10ml nic salt e-liquids start at £0.99.

Battery, Pod Life and Running Cost

Reviewers on E-Cigarette Forum measured around 400 puffs per charge at 30W; the 0.6 ohm pod stretches that further, and an E Plus pod typically lasts one to two weeks. With replacement E Plus pods at £7.99 and nic salts from £0.99, a week's vaping costs a few pounds instead of £20 or more on disposables.

Compatibility and Refills

This is the Thelema Elite Art 40, not the standard Elite 40: internals are identical, only the panels and screen size differ. Both take the same Lost Vape E Plus cartridge range in 0.3, 0.45 and 0.6 ohm, which also fits the Centaurus E40 series. UB Mini coils belong to the Ursa family and do not fit.

Best Colours

All six official finishes are stocked. Carbon Fibre and Mecha Black suit pocket carry and ex-smokers wanting a classic look; darker finishes sell out first at UK retailers. Mecha Blue and Cool Tech suit cyberpunk-styling fans, Holo Purple and Neo Tech the collectors after the loudest artwork.

How to Set Up

1. Pull the pod off, open the side-fill plug and fill with e-liquid.
2. Wait 10 minutes before the first vape so the cotton fully soaks; skipping this is the main cause of burnt coils.
3. Click the pod in and press the fire button five times to switch on; the chip sets a matching wattage.
4. Set the airflow slider, then inhale to vape or hold the button while drawing.

How to Make It Last Longer

• Refill before the pod runs empty; vaping dry cotton kills a coil instantly.
• Run the 0.6 ohm pod at lower wattage, and pause between puffs so the cotton re-soaks.
• Swap the pod when flavour turns muted, typically every one to two weeks.

Price Comparison

As of July 2026, the same kit lists at £16.49 at Evolution Vaping, £19.95 at AdaVapes and £20.99 at Vapeology, making £15.99 here the lowest in-stock UK price checked this month. More value picks sit in the best MTL vape kits collection.

Lost Vape Thelema Elite Art 40 Pod Kit FAQ

What pods does the Thelema Elite Art 40 use?

Lost Vape E Plus cartridges in 0.3 ohm, 0.45 ohm and 0.6 ohm, each holding 2ml. The same pods fit the Thelema Elite 40 and Centaurus E40; UB Mini coils do not fit.

Is the Thelema Elite Art 40 MTL or DTL?

Both MTL and restricted DTL. The 0.6 ohm pod with airflow closed gives a tight, cigarette-style draw; the 0.3 ohm pod with airflow open gives a warmer restricted direct-lung hit.

What is the difference between the Thelema Elite 40 and the Elite Art 40?

Same battery, chip, power range and pods. The Art 40 adds translucent artwork panels so the juice level stays visible; the standard Elite 40 has a bigger 0.69 inch screen (0.42 inch on the Art) and leather-style finishes.

How long does the battery last and how fast does it charge?

Around 400 puffs per charge at 30W, per owner testing on E-Cigarette Forum, and longer on the 0.6 ohm pod. A full USB-C charge takes roughly 60 to 80 minutes.

What wattage should the pods run at?

Run the 0.3 ohm pod between 30W and 40W, with 32W the favourite among owners on the Planet of the Vapes forum, and the 0.6 ohm pod between 16W and 25W.

Does the Thelema Elite Art 40 have auto-draw?

Yes, alongside the fire button. If auto-draw feels hesitant, close the airflow slider slightly so the draw sensor triggers cleanly, a fix confirmed by owners on the Planet of the Vapes forum.

Does it leak?

Leaking is not a reported problem: reviewers on Planet of the Vapes and E-Cigarette Forum both ran the stock pods leak-free with almost no condensation.
