Lost Vape Centaurus M200 vs Thelema Q200 Pro

Type Lost Vape Centaurus into a search bar today and two different products come back, a dual battery box mod and a tank platform that the brand now ships with other devices. The mix-up gets expensive the day you order replacement coils.

We have lined up the Centaurus M200 spec sheet against its in-house rival, the Thelema Q200 Pro, on six measurable criteria covering dimensions, weight, batteries, power, the tank in the box and what each page actually documents.

Lost Vape Centaurus M200 or Thelema Q200 Pro, the short answer

The two mods are so close that the decision comes down to two details. Only the Centaurus M200 offers interchangeable front panels and a mechanical power switch.

The Thelema Q200 Pro answers with a clearly larger screen, 1.47 inches against a display the M200 page never sizes, and a supported resistance range published in black and white. With the two otherwise this close, it is the one we recommend to anyone who adjusts their kit often.

Spec sheet against spec sheet

Every row below comes from Lost Vape’s official page for each model, and an empty cell means the brand does not publish that information on the model’s page.

Two grams and a couple of millimetres apart, the pair cannot be separated on size or bulk. Everything is decided elsewhere, starting with the tank.

Why both ship with the same tank

This is the link that retailer listings never make. The Thelema Q200 Pro kit comes with a Centaurus Sub Ohm V2 tank, the very one that carries the name of the rival range.

Put another way, the Lost Vape Centaurus name now covers a platform of tanks and coils as much as a family of box mods. Someone who buys a Thelema ends up ordering coils stamped Centaurus.

UB Max coils, the real common ground

The Centaurus Sub Ohm V2 takes UB Max coils in 0.15, 0.2 and 0.3 ohm, with a stated capacity of 5 ml or 2 ml depending on the market. The Q200 Pro kit includes two of them, a 0.15 and a 0.3.

British rules settle the capacity question. The Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 limit tanks to 2 ml, so a version of this tank placed on the UK market would have to be the 2 ml one, whatever an international spec sheet says.

Shared consumables make the purchase more predictable on both sides. Whichever model you pick, the coils sit on the same shelf, which is not a given when a brand walls off its platforms.

What the Lost Vape Centaurus M200 brings on its own

Lost Vape built this mod around two ideas absent from the rest of its catalogue, and they are what still justify buying it today.

Interchangeable front panels

Both faces can be swapped using a magnetic system, which lets you put together your own colour combination. The maker even offers a version with a blank panel intended for laser engraving in shops.

That is trivial from a technical point of view. It is, however, the only mod in its class that allows this kind of personalisation without taking anything apart.

A mechanical power switch

The M200 has a genuine switch, with a stated start-up time of one second. When it is off, the device is not on standby, it is cut off.

The benefit shows when you travel. A mod that is truly powered down cannot fire by itself in a bag, and that matters on a flight, where the device and any spare cells go in cabin baggage only, never in the hold, with the cells protected against short circuits.

Vaping on board is not allowed in any case. Its rival in this comparison offers no equivalent switch.

What the Thelema Q200 Pro brings in return

The Q200 Pro is the more recent model, and it shows first in what Lost Vape is willing to document.

Its 1.47 inch TFT screen is the larger of the two, and the brand publishes its supported resistance range, from 0.1 to 3.0 ohms. The M200 page says nothing on either point, which leaves you relying on retailers.

The choice of materials differs too. Zinc and synthetic leather go into the Q200 Pro, aluminium and stainless steel into the M200, so the first plays on grip and the second on lightness at a comparable size.

What silent spec sheets cost the buyer

Comparing two models from the same brand exposes a problem that comparisons rarely address. Lost Vape does not document its devices to the same level of detail from one generation to the next.

The Thelema Q200 Pro page publishes the supported resistance range, the screen size and the accepted battery voltage. The Centaurus M200 page stops at dimensions, weight, power and materials.

In practice, a buyer who wants to know whether an M200 will read a 0.08 ohm coil has to rely on a retailer or a forum. The values found there, often a range of 0.1 to 5.0 ohms, are not confirmed by the manufacturer, which is why that cell stays empty in our table.

That asymmetry has a practical consequence. When you buy for a rebuildable setup, where the resistance of the build is the first compatibility check, the better documented mod becomes the purchase with fewer unknowns, whatever its performance.

Which mod suits which vaper

With just two grams between them, the two can only be separated by use. Here is how we would allocate them.

Vapers who adjust their mod often

The Thelema Q200 Pro. Its 1.47 inch screen and documented resistance range make it easier to move between atomisers, rebuildables in particular.

Vapers on the move

The Centaurus M200, for its mechanical switch and its 152 grams of aluminium. It is the only one of the two that can be properly switched off before it goes into a bag.

Vapers who care how their kit looks

The M200 again, for its interchangeable panels. Anyone who would rather have a toughened mod with a rated protection should look at our ranking of battery mods led by the Geekvape Legend 5.

Frequently asked questions

These five questions cover points the comparison table leaves out.

Is the Centaurus M200 still in production?

It was still listed on Lost Vape’s own website on 5 September 2026, the date of our source check. The catalogue does put newer models forward, though, which suggests the next generation is not far off.

What is the difference between a Centaurus and a Thelema?

They are two separate product lines from the same manufacturer. The Thelema has historically been associated with the brand’s DNA chipsets and the Centaurus with customisable chassis, but the two ranges now share their tanks.

Will the Centaurus tank fit another mod?

Yes, it uses a standard 510 connection. Its 30 millimetre diameter is wider than many compact mods, however, so expect a visible overhang.

Do these mods need particular 18650 batteries?

Both take two high drain 18650 cells, not included, bought as a pair and always used together. Mixing two cells of different age or brand in the same mod is to be avoided.

Does a Lost Vape Centaurus mod offer temperature control?

Lost Vape does not detail the operating modes on the product pages of these two models. Without manufacturer data, check the device menu directly before counting on that feature.

What Lost Vape Centaurus means before you order

The Lost Vape Centaurus name no longer describes a single box mod but a whole ecosystem of tanks and coils shared with the Thelema range. Between the M200 and the Q200 Pro, the table separates nobody on size or weight.

What does separate them is what the manufacturer chooses to document, and two physical features that only the M200 offers. Pick the coil platform first and let the device follow, because with Lost Vape Centaurus the coils are the part you will keep buying.
