The Lost Mary BM6000 is technically a refillable rechargeable pod kit, but not in the way many older refillable kits worked. It uses a two-part liquid system: a 2ml prefilled pod that sits inside the device and a separate 10ml e-liquid refill container that feeds liquid into the pod via an auto-fill mechanism. Combined, they hold up to 12ml of liquid and deliver around 6000 puffs.

When the device runs out, you do not pour new bottled e-liquid into the existing pod. Instead, you remove the empty pod and empty refill container, and click in a fresh pair from a new Lost Mary BM6000 Refill Pod Kit. The device body, with its 650mAh USB-C rechargeable battery, stays with you indefinitely. This is what makes the BM6000 legally compliant with the post-1-June-2025 UK rules: it is both rechargeable AND refillable through replaceable pods.

In 2025, Lost Mary reissued the BM6000 as the BM6000 Refillable Pod Kit to ensure full UK regulatory compliance after the disposable ban took effect. The newer BM8000 and BM10000 models extend the same refillable pod concept to higher capacity. The original sealed-disposable BM6000 is no longer legally sold in the UK.

The official refill process step by step

When flavour fades or vapour weakens: 1) Remove the mouthpiece, 2) Pull out the empty pod and the empty 10ml refill container together, 3) From a new BM6000 Refill Pod Kit, insert the fresh 2ml prefilled pod into the pod mount until it clicks magnetically, 4) Insert the new 10ml refill container into its slot, 5) Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the coil to saturate before the first puff, 6) Take 2 to 3 gentle priming puffs to wake up the coil, then resume normal use. Total time: under 30 seconds for the swap itself.

Can you refill BM6000 pods with bottled e-liquid?

Technically yes, but it is not recommended by Lost Mary and rarely works well in practice. The pod is factory-sealed with the cotton sized for one factory fill. Most users who try DIY refilling report being able to refill the pod successfully only once or twice before the coil degrades, producing a burnt taste and weak vapour. The mesh coil is not designed for indefinite reuse. Manufacturer warranty is voided the moment you open the pod, and the risk of leaks contaminating the battery is real.

Why the official pod swap is the better path

A genuine BM6000 refill pod typically costs around £4.50 at UK retailers. For roughly 6000 puffs per pod kit, that works out to a fraction of the daily cost of the original BM600 disposable, and a fraction of the cost of a 20-a-day cigarette habit. You also get factory-fresh flavour every time, consistent draw tightness, and the full warranty on the device. The official method is the cleanest, cheapest and safest path. Manual refilling rarely delivers any of those benefits.
