Lost Mary BM6000 vs Hayati Pro Max Plus: the 6000-puff face-off

The 6000-puff format is the sensible middle of the big-puff range: big enough to last a few days, small enough that you are not stuck with one flavour for weeks.

The Lost Mary BM6000 and the Hayati Pro Max Plus both come with a prefilled 2ml pod and a 10ml refill container, 12ml in total, rated up to 6000 puffs. Both are mouth to lung and both charge over USB-C.

So the decision comes down to battery, price, weight and, interestingly, nicotine choice.

On the first puff you would struggle to tell them apart, so the small print really does decide this one.

Most big-puff kits come in 20mg only. Both of these go further. The BM6000 is available in 0mg, 10mg and 20mg. The Hayati adds a 5mg option on top, making four strengths in total.

That matters if you want to step your nicotine down gradually. Going from 20mg straight to 0mg is a big jump; 20 to 10 to 5 to 0 is gentler. Nicotine is addictive, and changing strength is a personal decision, but having the option inside the same device you already like is useful.

The Hayati is also listed in around 149 flavour and strength combinations, which is a huge range for one device.

The BM6000's 1000mAh battery is about 18% bigger than the Hayati's 850mAh. Hayati counter with a 1A charging current for faster top-ups.

Refills are where you spend money over time. A BM6000 refill pack is £6.95 for a fresh 2ml pod with a mesh coil and a 10ml container, around 58p per ml. Hayati refill packs are under Hayati pods.

Because each refill brings a new pod and coil, flavour stays consistent from the first pack to the tenth, which is one of the real advantages of this format.

If you vape a lot and hate charging, the BM6000's bigger battery and lighter body make it the more comfortable daily device. The mesh coil in each pod is a bonus for flavour.

If price is the main driver or you want that 5mg option, the Hayati wins. £2 saved on the kit is not much, but four strengths is a real feature.

Either way, these kits are refilled with packs rather than bottles, so you never handle e-liquid. That is the trade-off with refillable pods, which are cheaper to run but need a bit more care.

The BM6000 is the replaceable pod upgrade to the original single-use BM6000. Each refill pack contains a prefilled 2ml pod with a QUAQ mesh coil and a separate 10ml container, giving you a fresh coil every time.

Flavours run from Blueberry Sour Raspberry to Banana Volcano and Cherry Cola, in 0mg, 10mg or 20mg. The 1000mAh battery should last a full day for most people.

At 80g it is also the lighter of the pair, which you notice when it lives in a shirt pocket all day.

The Hayati Pro Max Plus is a sleek, slightly heavier kit at 93g, with an 850mAh battery and a quick 1A USB-C charge. Its replaceable pack is a 2ml pod and 10ml container, the same 12ml total as the Lost Mary.

Flavours include Blue Razz Cherry, Caribbean Crush and Cherry Berry, with strengths from 0mg to 20mg including that rare 5mg.
