Orion Bar 7500 Review: A Disposable Worthy of the Lost Vape Name

The Orion Bar 7500 is the disposable we never thought we’d see, especially from a brand such as Lost Vape. Lost Vape has made the vapes that no one wants to throw away, but the company has decided to enter the disposable market following in the footsteps of other high-quality brands like GeekVape and Vaporesso. The Orion borrows a lot from Mi-Pod devices with its stout, air-activated design. But it also features a few touches that only Lost Vape could think of, like the internal 650mAh battery, a pre-filled e-juice tank with 18ml capacity – as big as most other disposables – and a transparent, almost unbreakable outer shell.

A Closer Look at the Orion Bar 7500

The device does not look like a typical “bar” vape, like Puff Bars or any other similar device. The Orion is shorter and barely reaches 90 mm in height at 84mm, so it has a low-profile, meaning you can take it anywhere or even palm it in your hand so no one sees it. The internal battery and pod are housed inside a hard-plastic, fully transparent shell that reveals a graffiti design on the battery and pod.

The transparent shell extends up to the tear-drop mouthpiece that sticks out at the top. The entire exterior design is borrowed from the Mi-Pod but what sets this vape apart is the internals. From the outside, it is hard to tell that there is a 650mAh battery inside along with a whopping 18ml, pre-filled e-juice pod, but it’s true. The Orion has one of the largest e-juice pods out of many other types of disposables, which usually top out at 10ml. Aside from the outsized e-juice pod, the vape uses draw-activation so there are no buttons or controls to use with the device, except for the airflow control, which is also another important feature of the Orion.

Like many other Lost Vape devices, the Orion comes outfitted with a small airflow control switch so you can easily move between MTL or DL vaping. But, there is also a USB-C port on the bottom so you can recharge the sizable battery and finish the remaining e-juice if the battery runs out first. The Orion Bar 7500 is available in over 20 different flavors ranging from Aloe Grape and Mango Lemonade to Banana Cake and Rainbow Drop.

What’s in the Box?

This is a disposable device, but it is also rechargeable. However, there is no charging cable inside the package. It comes alone and has no other accessories, cables or spare pods, since it is an integrated device.

How It Looks and Feels

The entire device is covered in thick, transparent plastic that lets you see the colorful, painted pattern on the inside. The mouthpiece sticks out high from the battery section and has a flat design making it more ergonomic.

The Orion Bar measures 25mm across and is 84mm tall so it has a small frame that is similar to other disposables with rechargeable batteries. The charging port is on the bottom; also similar to the way other disposable rechargeables are designed. Since the device is semi-disposable, it is not built to last. Still, the device has a sturdy exterior that makes it both comfortable and portable.

How It Vapes

The Orion Bar is made for MTL vapers but has an airflow control slider for users to adjust the airflow however they want. The battery outputs a steady current to make sure the flavor and vapor quality are consistent, which it usually is, even when the battery is low. The overall quality of the vapor is good for MTL and DL vapers.

The flavor quality is different for each flavor – there are over 20 different flavors – and each of them has their unique characteristics. But the cloud production, durability and consistency of the vapor quality is Lost Vape-level and much better than other similar devices.

Flavor Qualities

There are over 15 different flavors available for the Orion Bar 7500, these are just a few of the available flavors.

Sour Apple Ice

This menthol-based flavor is definitely for lovers of tart apples and has that distinctive bite in every inhale. But the menthol-flavor can overpower the tartness of the apple and gives off an unexpected sweetness.

Aloe Grape

This sweet, pungent flavor is noticeable from its aroma and it has a strong presence of artificial sweetener. It does not have any noticeable “aloe” flavor, but is completely dominated by an overwhelming grape taste.

Blueberry Raspberry

The tartness of blueberries is expertly blended with the sweetness of the raspberry in this fruit-filled flavor. The combination begins with the first inhale and it remains consistent throughout the vape. It has a good throat hit, especially at the 50g nicotine strength.

Strawberry Kiwi

Unlike the Aloe Grape pod, the Strawberry Kiwi does not rely too heavily on artificial sweeteners, but tries to blend the tartness of both strawberries and kiwi in a creamy mixture. The vape gives off both sweetness and creaminess so it achieves a pleasing balance, and is one of the best flavors of them all.

How Long it Lasts

The number of puffs each Orion Bar 7500 is supposed to last is 7500, but not every model will even reach that number. The battery is limited to only a few charges and it takes almost an hour and a half to fully recharge, which means the battery will not always make it to that exact number, but more like 5000 or 6000.

It still means the device is one of the longest-lasting disposable rechargeable batteries, and its 18 ml e-juice capacity is also unheard of. The Orion is draw-activated so there are no usage instructions to follow. There is an airflow slider on the bottom that is user-friendly and there are no other buttons or controls on the device, other than the Type-C charging port.

Competing Devices

Elf Bar BC 5000 Ultra

The Elf Bar BC 5000 Ultra is one of the most popular disposable rechargeable devices and it has a new redesign that makes it more absorbent of flavors and produces a more consistent flavor profile in each puff. The BC 5000 can last for up to 5000 puffs, which is often the limit of the Orion Bar 7500, despite the 7500 puffs in its title. The BC also recharges faster because of its lower capacity battery, and it has a more natural-looking, aluminum-alloy shell than the Orion Bar 7500.

Fume Vape Unlimited 7000

The Fume Vape Unlimited 7000 is another device that claims it can reach 7000 vapes, but the battery capacity is less than the Orion at only 450mAh and has a 14ml e-juice capacity that is also less than the Orion. Even though the Fume Vape says it can reach 7000 puffs, the real count is probably 5000 or less, as the battery is not even rechargeable. The Fume is available in more flavors and has 17 different ones to choose from.

FAQ

Pros&Cons

Conclusion

The Lost Vape brand has been getting better at creating pod devices since the GO pod device, and the new Orion Bar 7500 is the perfection of the idea. It has a sturdy, durable exterior. It gives users airflow control and has over 20 different flavors to choose from. The flavor production is shoddy, but the quality of each flavor stands out in each inhale and exhale. The device does last a long time, but it does not get to the advertised 7500. Still, it is one of the more impressive and well-made disposable rechargeables out there.
