Since its release back in June 2024, the Lost Mary BM6000 has become incredibly popular, captivating vapers with its rechargeable battery, pre-filled e-liquid system, and, most notably, its impressive 6000-puff capacity. For those used to disposable vapes with lower puff counts, the sheer convenience of less frequent replacements has been a revelation.
However, as is the case with any disposable device, the BM6000's e-liquid will eventually run dry. Despite the manufacturer's intent for the device to be single-use always having been clear, the desire to extend the life of this popular vape has led many to wonder whether the device can be refilled, and has even led others to try their hand at dismantling the device to refill it.
In this guide, we’ll navigate the realities of refilling the BM6000, outlining the process, but more importantly, the potential pitfalls and risks that lie behind what initially seems like a straightforward solution.
The Lost Mary BM6000 is a rechargeable disposable vape designed to offer a long-lasting and convenient vaping experience. Unlike traditional disposables, which are simply discarded after a single use, the BM6000 features a built-in 650mAh battery that can be recharged via USB Type-C, allowing users to enjoy the device for a longer period before disposal.
Its unique auto-fill system pairs an integrated 2ml pod with a separate 10ml e-liquid container, bringing the total liquid capacity to 12ml. This system allows the BM6000 to provide up to 6,000 puffs, significantly outlasting smaller disposables such as the Lost Mary BM600 or BM600S, which offer only 600 puffs.
Although some resourceful vapers have successfully refilled the Lost Mary BM6000 by carefully taking it apart, it's crucial to understand that this is not recommended by the manufacturer and carries its own risks, including, but not limited to:
Refilling the BM6000 may seem like a good cost-saving measure, but we believe that these risks significantly outweigh any potential benefits. If you do choose to attempt to refill the device, please be careful!
Instead, we recommend shopping the broad selection of Lost Mary products – now available to buy at FREESMO with fast and free UK shipping.
Before attempting to refill the BM6000, be sure that you have all of the necessary tools and materials on hand.
You'll need a small flathead screwdriver or tweezers to carefully open the device. For the e-liquid, opt for nicotine salt e-liquid with a 50/50 VG/PG ratio, as this is generally used in disposable devices - you’ll need a syringe or dropper to help you to apply it.
Keep paper towels on hand to clean up any spills or excess liquid, and wear gloves to protect your skin from potential nicotine exposure.
Begin by gently twisting and pulling the mouthpiece to remove it. Once removed, locate the silicone plug situated beneath the mouthpiece, and use the tweezers to carefully extract it.
This part definitely needs to be approached with caution, as damaging the delicate cotton wick or coil (located beneath the plug) can severely impact the device's performance.
With the silicone plug removed, use the syringe or dropper to carefully add 2-3ml of nicotine salt e-liquid directly onto the exposed cotton wick, being careful not to overfill the reservoir. After adding the e-liquid, allow it to soak into the wick for 5-10 minutes. This saturation period is crucial to prevent dry hits, which occur when the wick is not adequately saturated and results in a burnt taste.
After the e-liquid has properly saturated the wick, carefully replace the silicone plug, ensuring it's securely positioned. Then, reattach the mouthpiece, making sure it forms a tight seal to prevent any potential leaks.
To confirm the device is functioning correctly after refilling, take a few gentle puffs. If you experience a burnt taste, the wick may not be fully saturated, and you should allow more time for the e-liquid to absorb. Be sure to monitor the device for any leaks, and if you find any, carefully re-tighten the components as needed.
It's also important to note that most users report being able to successfully refill the Lost Mary BM6000 only once or twice before the coil begins to degrade, resulting in a burnt taste and reduced performance.
Ultimately, it’s important to understand that the Lost Mary BM6000 was designed to be disposable, and attempting to refill it, even if successful, typically yields only one or two additional lifecycles before performance significantly degrades.
If you're considering refilling the BM6000, the good news is that a wide array of dedicated refillable pod systems are available, designed precisely for what you're trying to achieve. You’ll find that many refillable pod systems are only marginally more expensive than a BM6000, yet they offer the significant benefit of unlimited refills.
If it’s the classic Lost Mary flavour you don’t want to leave behind, you'll be happy to know there's a non-disposable option that delivers that same satisfying taste. Maryliq e-liquids are made by the same people who created Lost Mary, so you can expect the same delicious flavours you love, but in refillable bottles. Alternatively, Elfliq e-liquids offer a fantastic range of flavours that closely mimic your favourite disposable vapes.
While the allure of refilling the Lost Mary BM6000 for cost savings might be tempting, it presents significant risks and is not a sustainable solution due to the device's single-use design.
For a safer, more satisfying, and ultimately more economical long-term vaping experience, transitioning to a dedicated refillable pod system is the recommended approach.
