Lost Mary BM600 Disposable vs New Pod Kits: What’s the Better Option in 2025?

For many adult vapers, particularly those who relied on the simplicity and flavour experience of Lost Mary devices, the question is: what now? 

Brands like Lost Mary have responded by launching compliant prefilled pod-based systems that offer a similar experience without the single-use waste. These devices retain key features of disposables—such as flavour variety and ease of use—while removing the need for single-use disposal. This guide from Haypp UK outlines the key differences between the BM600 Disposable and the new Lost Mary BM600 Pod Kit. 

Before the UK's disposable vape ban, the BM600 Disposable had become a household name in the UK vaping scene. Its success was down to a mix of great design, accessible pricing, and a rich variety of flavours. 

What users loved: 

• Compact, stylish design – pocket-friendly with a sleek matte finish. 
• Flavour range – favourites included Blue Razz Ice, Pink Lemonade, and Triple Melon. 
• Ease of use – no buttons, charging or refilling; just inhale and go. 
• Satisfying throat hit – 20 mg nic salts delivered fast relief for smokers switching over. 
• Affordability – typically priced around £4–£5 per device. 

Despite their popularity, single-use vapes raised growing concerns due to their environmental impact. Each device contained a lithium battery and plastic casing, typically discarded after a single day of use. 

The Disposable Vape Ban came into effect on 1st June 2025. Under new legislation, it is now illegal in the UK to sell or supply single-use vapes. This applies to all retailers—supermarkets, corner shops, vape stores, and online sellers. 

Key reasons behind the ban: 

• Environmental impact - Disposables contributed to an estimated 5,000 tonnes of electronic and plastic waste per year. 
• Youth appeal - Bright packaging, sweet flavours, and low prices were identified as factors attracting underage users. 
• Health and safety - Authorities raised concerns about illicit imports and non-compliant devices. 
• Public support - According to surveys by ASH, 70% of UK adults supported stronger regulation of disposable vapes. 

It’s important to note that owning or using a disposable isn’t illegal, but you won’t find them legally for sale anymore. 

To support users moving away from disposables, Lost Mary launched the BM600 Pod Kit—a rechargeable, prefilled pod system that mirrors the look and feel of the original BM600. 

How it works: 

• The device is rechargeable via USB‑C. 
• Pods come prefilled with Maryliq e-liquid (20 mg nic salts), delivering up to 600 puffs each. 
• Just pop in a pod, inhale to activate—no buttons or settings required. 

Flavour continuity: 

The pod system uses the same e-liquids as the disposables, offering flavour consistency. Popular choices like Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava, Blue Razz Ice, and Pineapple Ice are all available in pod form. 

Benefits: 

• Legal and fully compliant in the UK. 
• Same flavour intensity and draw resistance as the disposable. 
• Lower long-term cost. 
• Reduced plastic and battery waste. 

The pod kit is designed to deliver the same flavour and vapour production as the disposable. Mesh coil technology inside each pod ensures smooth, consistent flavour throughout its use. The BM600 Pod Kit includes many of the same flavours found in the original disposable range, offering a familiar experience for adult users.

The BM600 Pod Kit features a slightly tighter draw, offering a different airflow sensation compared to the original disposable. Nicotine strength remains at 20 mg with nic salts, delivering a similar throat hit to the original BM600 disposable. 

While the upfront price of a pod kit might be higher, it pays off in the long run. Here’s a rough comparison: 

• Disposables (pre-ban): £4 × 30 days = £120/month 
• Pod kit (post-ban): Starter device: £10–15 (once) 
  • Pods: £4 each × 30 = £120/month 
  • BUT most users find they consume slightly fewer pods due to more efficient nicotine delivery—meaning cost savings of 20–30% over time. 

Prefilled pod kits offer continued access to familiar flavours in a format that complies with current UK regulations and avoids single-use waste. 

Here’s why: 

• Same experience, legal format – full BM600 flavour range, now in a compliant pod design 
• Lower environmental footprint – reusable hardware and less waste 
• Better long-term value – fewer purchases, rechargeable battery 
• Wide availability – from supermarkets to vape shops, plus Haypp UK’s online store 
• Simple transition – no need to learn a new system or refill bottles 

If you're looking to replicate the experience of a disposable, start with a preloaded pod kit. 

Best for ex-BM600 users: 

• Lost Mary BM600 Pod Kit – ideal for a like-for-like transition 
• Elf Bar Elfa Pro – similar pod format with identical flavour intensity 
• SKE Crystal Plus – stylish pod alternative with satisfying vapour production 

Prefer more flexibility and lower running costs? Consider a refillable pod system like the Vaporesso XROS 3 Mini or OXVA Xlim Pro 2 —but be aware, these require a little more maintenance. 

Disposable vapes are no longer legal for sale in the UK, but prefilled pod kits remain available in a compliant format. This new generation of pod kits features familiar flavours and simple operation, with a reusable format that complies with UK regulations. If you previously used the Lost Mary BM600 disposable, the new pod kit provides a legal and reusable alternative.  

It is compliant with current UK regulations and designed for refill pod use, reducing single-use waste. Explore the full range of pod kits and compatible pod flavours at Haypp UK.
