Both are designed in the USA by Lost Vape and you can certainly see the similarities, but we prefer the aesthetics of the Therion, and that’s why we rated it higher.

Other than some subtle differences in design, they’re virtually identical. The Paranormal has an easier-to-use battery door, but the Therion is smaller and looks better, in our opinion. Lost Vape produces some of the best box mods on the market and you certainly can’t go wrong with either device.
