If your Lost Mary BM6000 lights up when you inhale but doesn’t produce vapour, it can be confusing and frustrating. The LED is working, the battery is clearly on, but you’re getting no flavour, no vapour and no satisfaction. So what’s going wrong?
This is one of the most common issues vapers face, especially with closed pod systems. The good news is that most of the time, it’s easy to diagnose and often fix without needing a new device.
This article covers the most likely reasons your Lost Mary BM6000 is not hitting properly and gives practical tips to help you get it working again.
First, check the basics
Before you start investigating deeper problems, go through this quick checklist:
-
Does the LED light turn on when you inhale?
-
Have you refilled the pod recently?
-
Is the device fully charged?
-
Are you hearing any sound when trying to vape?
If the light turns on, that means the battery is active and trying to fire the coil. If there’s no vapour, something between the battery and the coil isn’t working as expected.
Reason 1: The coil is burnt or used up
One of the most common reasons for this issue is that the coil inside the pod has burnt out. When this happens, the LED may still light up but the coil cannot vaporise the liquid. This can happen after:
-
Running the pod dry
-
Chain vaping without rest
-
Using the same coil for too long
Unfortunately, in the BM6000 the coil is built into the pod and cannot be replaced separately. If the coil is gone, the only solution is to replace the entire device.
If this sounds like your situation, check out the Lost Mary BM6000 collection for a fresh pod and flavour.
Reason 2: The pod is empty or not refilling properly
If you’ve been using the same pod for a few days, there’s a chance it has run dry. The refill bottle might still contain liquid, but if the pod hasn’t drawn it in, the wick may be dry. No liquid means no vapour.
Try the following:
-
Open the refill port and top up if needed
-
Let the device sit upright for five minutes
-
Take a slow test puff to check if flavour returns
If the pod is empty or the wick has already burned, you may still see the light without vapour. Always refill before the pod runs dry to avoid this problem.
Reason 3: The coil is flooded
Sometimes the opposite problem occurs. Instead of being dry, the coil can become flooded with too much e-liquid. This blocks the airflow and prevents vapour from forming properly.
You might notice:
-
Gurgling or bubbling sounds
-
Spitback or juice in the mouth
-
Very restricted airflow
To fix this:
-
Blow gently into the mouthpiece while holding tissue at the bottom
-
Let the device rest upright
-
Take short, sharp puffs to clear excess liquid
-
Avoid overfilling during the next refill
This often restores proper airflow and vapour production. Be patient and don’t puff too hard during the clearing process.
Reason 4: Airflow is blocked
Your Lost Mary BM6000 relies on smooth airflow to work correctly. If the mouthpiece is blocked with dust, pocket fluff or residue from vaping, it can prevent vapour from reaching your mouth even if the coil is working.
Try:
-
Removing the mouthpiece and cleaning it with a dry tissue or cotton bud
-
Checking for visible residue or dirt in the airflow channel
-
Gently clearing the port underneath the pod
Do not use water or cleaning sprays. A dry clean is enough to clear most blockages.
Reason 5: Battery is low despite light showing
Sometimes the battery will still light up the LED but no longer has enough power to heat the coil properly. This can happen if:
-
You’ve used the device heavily without charging
-
The battery is starting to wear out
-
The charging cable did not fully connect
Try plugging the device in for 30 to 60 minutes and see if vapour returns after a full charge. The LED light alone isn’t a perfect battery level indicator.
Reason 6: Device is too cold or too hot
Extreme temperatures can affect performance. If your device has been left in a cold car or warm pocket, it might need to return to room temperature before working properly.
Let the device sit indoors for 10 to 15 minutes and try again. Avoid charging or using the device immediately after exposure to extreme temperatures.
Reason 7: Pod is not seated correctly
It’s possible that the pod is not connecting properly with the internal contacts. This is rare with preinstalled pods like in the BM6000, but it can happen if the device has been dropped or handled roughly.
Try gently pressing the mouthpiece downward. You can also tap the side of the device once or twice and test again. If the contacts reconnect, vapour should return.
Still not working?
If none of the above steps restore vapour, your coil may be permanently damaged or the device may have reached the end of its life. Lost Mary BM6000 devices typically last for five to seven days for moderate users. If you’ve gone through most of the refill bottle, it’s probably time for a replacement.

Final thoughts
If your Lost Mary BM6000 is lighting up but not hitting, it’s usually down to one of three things: a burnt coil, an empty pod or blocked airflow. The good news is that most of these issues can be fixed with a quick clean, a refill or a charge.
If the problem continues after trying all the tips in this guide, the device may be finished and ready to replace. For your next vape, you can browse the latest flavours and models in the Lost Mary BM6000 collection.
