Is The Lost Mary BM6000 Kit Redefining Convenience In Vaping

By shane margereson

The vaping industry's seen more than its fair share of "revolutionary" products since I started Ecigone back in 2014. Most turn out to be just another device with a slight tweak here or a minor upgrade there. So when Lost Mary announced their BM6000 Kit as the answer to the looming disposable ban, I'll admit I was a bit sceptical. 

Would this just be another hastily designed stop-gap, or something that actually addressed what disposable users love while fixing the issues that led to the ban in the first place?

After spending a couple of weeks with the BM6000, I'm starting to think Lost Mary might have cracked it. This isn't your typical pod kit – it's a carefully thought-out system that manages to keep what made disposables so popular while eliminating the biggest drawbacks.

And with disposable vapes disappearing from shelves at the end of the month, the timing couldn't be better for a device that bridges the gap between disposables and traditional refillables.

Why Convenience Matters in Vaping

Let's be honest about why disposables took over the market so quickly – they're dead easy to use. No filling, no charging, no settings to adjust. Just open the pack and vape. For ex-smokers especially, that simplicity was a game-changer. The problem was never with the user experience; it was with the waste and cost.

The challenge for manufacturers like Lost Mary has been figuring out how to maintain that simplicity while creating something that's rechargeable and refillable. Most attempts end up feeling like a compromise – either they're too complicated for disposable users, or they're too limited for more experienced vapers.

What makes the BM6000 interesting is how it refuses to compromise on convenience. From the moment you unbox it, everything about the device feels designed to make the transition from disposables as painless as possible, whilst still delivering a proper upgrade in terms of functionality and sustainability.

The Clever Engineering Behind the BM6000

The standard Lost Mary BM6000 disposable gave you about 6000 puffs from a 650mAh battery and a 13ml e-liquid capacity. The trick with the rechargeable version was maintaining that capacity while complying with TPD regulations that limit tanks to 2ml.

This BM6000 comes with a 2ml pod that connects to a 10ml juice reservoir. It's dead clever - as you vape, the juice automatically tops up the pod without you having to faff about with bottles or refilling. Proper handy that - means you're never going to get a dry hit halfway through the day, and the flavour stays bang on from start to finish, unlike disposables that often taste a bit grim towards the end.

They've bumped the battery up to 1000mAh, which is a massive improvement on the disposable's 650mAh. It charges through USB-C too, so no hunting around for odd cables. If you're a moderate vaper, you'll easily get through a day before needing to plug it in, which is all most people are after really.

Another smart touch is the little screen that shows your battery level. Nothing fancy - just a simple percentage display so you're not caught with a dead vape when you need it most. No messing about with flashing lights or trying to guess how much battery's left.

The User Experience: As Simple As a Disposable?

The real test for any device claiming to replace disposables is how easy it is to use. Many pod kits fall at this hurdle, adding unnecessary complications that turn off new users. The BM6000 Kit, however, keeps things refreshingly simple.

To set up a new BM6000 Refill Pod , you:

  • Remove the silicone plug from the pod
  • Insert the pod into the device
  • Install the e-liquid container until you hear a click
  • Wait 3-5 minutes for the pod to saturate
  • Start vaping

That's it – no buttons to press, no settings to adjust, no e-liquid to measure. The device is draw-activated just like a disposable, so you just inhale and it works. For someone coming from disposables, the experience is virtually identical, apart from the initial setup which takes all of a minute.

The day-to-day use is where this thing really shines. It just works without any fuss - pull it out, have a vape, put it away. No leaking in your pocket, no fiddling with settings, no wondering if it's going to fire properly. It's got that same pick-up-and-go feeling that made disposables so popular, but without the guilt of chucking a battery in the bin every week.

Flavour and Performance: Does It Match Disposables?

Lost Mary built their reputation on flavour, and they've carried that expertise into the BM6000 Kit. The device uses the same QUAQ mesh coil technology as their disposables, delivering remarkably good flavour for a pod system.

I've tried a few of their most popular flavours in the BM6000, including:

  • Blueberry Sour Raspberry – Still their standout flavour, with that perfect balance of sweet and tart
  • Triple Mango – A layered mango profile that's not overly sweet or artificial
  • Watermelon Ice – Refreshing and juicy with just the right amount of cooling
  • Banana Volcano - Tropical banana flavour with a rich and creamy element

The flavour quality is on par with, if not slightly better than, the disposable versions. The consistent wicking from the reservoir system means you don't get that gradual decline in flavour that often happens with disposables as they run low.

The throat hit with the 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid is smooth but satisfying – exactly what ex-smokers are looking for. The draw is a comfortable MTL (mouth-to-lung) that closely mimics the feeling of smoking or using a disposable. It's not too tight and not too loose, striking a good balance that should satisfy most users.

Cloud production is modest as you'd expect from an MTL device, making it suitable for discreet vaping in public without creating a fog around you. The vapour is warm without being hot, and there's no spitting or gurgling that can plague some pod systems.

Why the BM6000 Stands Out from Other Prefilled Kits

The LOST MARY BM6000 STANDS OUT against other prefilled kits because of its design, which is 95% similar to the best-selling Lost Mary disposable when others have had to change their designs a lot to comply with the new regulations. There's really no drama for users as it's what they vaped and loved before – just with a bigger battery and a quick and easy pod change system.

This design continuity is bloody clever from Lost Mary – they've kept the form factor, the feel, the weight, and even the draw resistance almost identical to their disposable, making the transition practically seamless for existing users. While other brands have had to completely rethink their approach, Lost Mary's maintained what made their disposables so popular in the first place.

It was only lasting me 5-6 days as I wasn't using it all the time because it's 20mg – if it was 10mg I could easily get through a prefilled pod a day no worries. That's something I'd like to see from Lost Mary in the future – a broader range of nicotine strengths to suit different vaping styles and preferences.

The Cost Factor: Is It Actually Cheaper Than Disposables?

One of the biggest selling points of the BM6000 Kit is the potential savings compared to disposables. Let's break down the numbers:

At ecigone.co.uk, we're selling the BM6000 Kit for £9.99, which includes the device, one pod, and one 10ml refill container. Replacement BM6000 Refill Pods with refill containers cost £6.99 each.

If you're currently going through one Lost Mary disposable a week at around £7.99 each, that's about £31.96 per month. With the BM6000, your first month costs £9.99 for the kit, plus perhaps another £6.99 for a second pod if you're a heavy vaper. That's £16.98 for the first month, and then just £13.98-£20.97 per month after that (for 2-3 pods), depending on your usage.

Over a year, that's a saving of well over £100 compared to sticking with disposables – enough for a decent night out or a nice treat for yourself. And that's not even factoring in the environmental benefits of not tossing 50+ disposable devices with their batteries and plastic components into landfill each year.

How It Stacks Up Against Other Options

The BM6000 isn't the only game in town for disposable users looking to upgrade before the ban kicks in. There are plenty of options out there, but the BM6000 does have a few tricks up its sleeve.

The main advantage over standard refillable pod systems is that you're not messing about with bottles of juice and potentially spilling sticky liquid all over yourself. The reservoir system handles all that for you, which is a massive plus for people who just want a simple life.

While there are other prefilled pod systems with similar reservoir designs on the market now, the BM6000 stands out for its familiar form factor and exceptional ease of use. Many competitors have had to drastically redesign their products to comply with regulations, but Lost Mary has managed to maintain the look and feel that users already know and trust.

Where it does fall short is in customisation. You're limited to Lost Mary's flavours and nicotine strengths, whereas a standard refillable system would let you use any e-liquid you fancy. For most ex-disposable users this won't be an issue, especially since Lost Mary offers over 40 different flavours, but it's something to consider if you like to experiment with different juices.

Real-World Performance and Reliability

I've been using the BM6000 for a couple of weeks now, and it's held up nicely. The build feels solid - definitely more substantial than a disposable but not so heavy that it's a pain to carry. The battery's been good for a full day of moderate vaping, and it charges up in about an hour from flat, which isn't bad at all.

The pods have been super reliable too - no leaks or dribbles in my pocket, which is usually where pod systems fall down. The connection between the pod and device is nice and tight, no wobbling about or cutting out mid-puff.

Pod life seems to be around 5-6 days with moderate use, though if you've got a sweet tooth and go for the sugary flavours, you might find they gunk up the coil a bit quicker. That's pretty standard across the board though, nothing specific to Lost Mary.

The Verdict: Convenience Redefined?

So, is the Lost Mary BM6000 Kit redefining convenience in vaping? In many ways, yes. It's managed to take what made disposables so appealing – the simplicity, the flavour, the hassle-free experience – and put it into a format that's more sustainable, more economical, and ready for the post-ban landscape.

It's not without its limitations. The lack of ability to use your own e-liquid might be a dealbreaker for some, and the initial cost is higher than a disposable (though you quickly make that back). But for its intended purpose – providing a seamless transition for disposable users – it's hard to fault.

For me, it's not going to replace my main setup – I'm too attached to my MTL RTAs and dessert e-liquids for that. But I can see why it's quickly becoming one of our best-sellers at ecigone. It delivers exactly what it promises: disposable-like convenience without the waste or ongoing expense.

If you're currently using Lost Mary disposables and concerned about the upcoming ban, the BM6000 Kit should definitely be on your radar. It's a logical next step that keeps what you like about disposables while fixing what you don't – and that's about as good as it gets when it comes to innovation in the vaping industry.
