If you’ve been using the Lost Mary BM6000 and are ready to try a different flavour, you might be wondering how to switch without mixing tastes or wasting liquid. With the refillable system, the BM6000 is more flexible than older disposable models, but you still need to approach flavour changes carefully.
This guide will explain how to switch flavours properly, when to do it, and what to expect when changing from one e-liquid to another in the BM6000 format.
Can you switch flavours in a Lost Mary BM6000?
Yes, you can switch flavours in a Lost Mary BM6000, but you need to be aware of how the pod system works. The coil and wick inside the pod absorb the flavour of whatever e-liquid you use. That means even if you change the liquid, some of the old flavour may linger for a while.
You don’t need to change the whole device just to switch flavours, but you will get the best experience if you plan your switch correctly.
How the BM6000 pod and refill system works
The BM6000 comes with a prefilled 2ml pod already installed, plus a 10ml refill bottle of matching flavour. You refill the pod using the bottle until all the liquid is used. Once the refill bottle is empty, you can switch to a new flavour, but only after making sure the pod is no longer saturated with the old one.
Because the coil is built into the pod and cannot be replaced, any leftover liquid in the cotton wick will affect the new flavour for a short time. This is known as flavour carryover.
When is the best time to switch flavours?
The best time to switch flavours is when:
-
You have used up all or nearly all of the 10ml refill bottle
-
The pod is starting to taste weak or muted
-
You are ready to move on to a new pod or device
Trying to switch flavours halfway through the refill bottle can lead to mixed tastes, especially if the new flavour is very different from the old one. It is better to use up most of the current flavour first.
How to switch flavours step by step
Follow these steps to change flavours in your Lost Mary BM6000 as cleanly as possible:
-
Finish or nearly finish your current refill bottle
-
Let the pod run low, but not dry
-
Clean the outside of the pod and mouthpiece with a dry tissue
-
Insert the nozzle of the new refill bottle into the refill port
-
Fill as usual and let the device sit upright for a few minutes
-
Take a few light puffs to help the new flavour settle in
The first few puffs will still have traces of the old flavour. By the time you’ve vaped 10 to 20 puffs, the new taste should start to come through more clearly.
What if the flavours are very different?
If you’re switching from something sweet like Mango to something icy like Menthol, you may notice a more intense clash of flavours. To avoid this, use one of the following tips:
-
Choose a transitional flavour like Double Apple or Grape to bridge the gap
-
Vape through the tail end of the old pod until the taste is faded
-
Switch to a new device if you want a completely fresh experience
The easiest way to avoid flavour mix is to use a separate BM6000 for each of your favourite flavours. This is common for users who rotate between fruity, icy and fizzy profiles.
Can you clean the pod?
The pod in a Lost Mary BM6000 is not designed to be opened or rinsed. It is a sealed unit with a built-in coil. Trying to wash or flush the pod can cause leaks, coil damage or electrical issues.
You can wipe the outside of the mouthpiece and refill area with a clean tissue or dry cotton bud, but do not use water or cleaning sprays. If you want a clean switch with no flavour carryover, the best option is to use a fresh pod.
How to store your spare flavours
If you are switching between flavours regularly, it’s a good idea to keep each refill bottle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Make sure the caps are tightly sealed and label them if the name is not clear.
Try not to leave refill bottles sitting in your pocket or a hot car. Heat can break down the flavour or thin out the e-liquid, which can lead to coil flooding when you refill.
Will switching flavours shorten coil life?
Switching flavours won’t damage the coil, but it may affect the overall life of the pod depending on how the new and old liquids interact. Some sweet or dark liquids can leave residue on the coil, which builds up over time and dulls the taste.
To maximise pod life:
-
Finish each refill bottle fully before switching
-
Stick to lighter, cleaner flavours if you want the coil to last longer
-
Let the new flavour settle for a few minutes before vaping again
-
Avoid using very thick or syrupy liquids not designed for pod systems
If flavour is fading fast or the coil feels burnt, switching flavours will not fix it. You’ll need a fresh BM6000 to restore the proper experience.
Final thoughts
You can switch flavours in the Lost Mary BM6000, but it helps to do it at the right time and with the right approach. Use up the current flavour, avoid mixing extremes and allow the new liquid to soak in properly before vaping. You may notice some flavour crossover for the first few puffs, but it should fade fairly quickly.
For the cleanest switch, consider rotating between two BM6000 devices or choosing flavours that blend well.
