Why Is My Lost Mary BM6000 Not Working?
The Lost Mary BM6000 is one of the most popular pre-filled vapes in Europe and the United Kingdom. People love it because it comes with 12 ml of e-liquid and lasts up to 6,000 puffs, and they also love it because it’s available in all of Lost Mary’s most famous flavors. The Lost Mary BM6000 has a slightly more complicated refilling mechanism compared to many other vapes, though, and that can make it difficult for you to figure out what steps to take if your device has a problem.
We’re going to make it easier.
Is your Lost Mary BM6000 not working? This guide presents a simple method for tracing the problem to its source and fixing it.
Diagnose the Problem
Before you can fix a Lost Mary BM6000 that isn’t working, you need to understand which type of problem you have.
- Nothing happens when you puff on your device? The battery is probably dead. Try charging the device by connecting it to your computer with a USB-C cable. If the indicator light doesn’t turn on, scroll down to the “Charging” section below.
- Your Lost Mary BM6000 makes a gurgling sound when you puff on it? The pod is probably leaking. Scroll down to the “Leaking” section below.
- You experience a burnt flavor when you vape? Scroll down to the “Tastes Burnt” section below.
- Your Lost Mary BM6000 blinks when you puff on it? Try charging the device first. If it doesn’t charge, scroll down to the “Charging” section below. If you’re sure that the battery is charged, scroll to the “Blinking” section.
How to Fix a Lost Mary BM6000 That Isn’t Charging
When you connect the Lost Mary BM6000 to a USB power source, the indicator light should turn on to indicate that the battery is charging. If that doesn’t happen – and you’re sure that the battery isn’t charged already – here’s what you should do next.
- Replace the USB-C cable. The Lost Mary BM6000 doesn’t come with a charging cable, and it’s possible that you’re using an older cable with reliability issues.
- Connect the Lost Mary BM6000 to a different power source. The Lost Mary BM6000 should always charge successfully through a computer’s USB port. You can alternatively use a wall adapter with an output of 5 volts and 1 amp.
- Clean the charging port. Dust and lint can interfere with charging. You can remove any foreign objects from the port with a toothpick.
How to Fix a Lost Mary BM6000 That’s Leaking
If your Lost Mary BM6000 makes a gurgling or bubbling sound when you puff on it, it means that excess e-liquid is in the airflow channel. The pod will begin leaking soon if it isn’t leaking already. Here’s how to fix it.
- Remove the pod from the device if you’re using the refillable version of the Lost Mary BM6000. Use a paper towel to dry the area under the pod completely.
- Reinstall the pod. Make sure that both the pod and the 10 ml refill container are pushed all the way in.
- Puff more gently. Assuming the pod and refill container were both correctly installed, your Lost Mary BM6000 began leaking because you were puffing on the device more firmly than necessary. That caused the coil assembly to flood with excess e-liquid. If your BM6000 gurgles or bubbles, you’re puffing too hard.
How to Fix a Lost Mary BM6000 That Tastes Burnt
If your Lost Mary BM6000 produces a burnt flavor when you puff on it, the cause of the issue is either an empty pod or a wicking problem. Here’s what to do.
- Check the refill container. The Lost Mary BM6000 has a translucent refill container, which makes it easy for you to see how much e-liquid is left. When the container is empty, there still may be a little e-liquid in the 2 ml pod – but that’s unlikely if you’ve been using the device for a while. Refill or replace the device.
- Tap the Lost Mary BM6000 gently against your hand if the refill container still has e-liquid in it. It’s likely that air bubbles have formed in the device’s internal wicking system, and the bubbles are preventing the flow of e-liquid from the refill container to the pod. After a few taps, you should see bubbles forming in the refill container, which indicates that the pod is beginning to absorb vape juice. Wait a few minutes and resume vaping.
The Lost Mary BM6000 is available in two versions – refillable and disposable – and the version that you’re using will depend on whether disposable vapes can still be legally sold in your market. If disposable vapes are banned where you live, you can refill the device by replacing the pod and e-liquid container.
How to Fix a Lost Mary BM6000 That’s Blinking
If your Lost Mary BM6000 blinks when you try to vape, it could mean that the battery is dead or that the device is having trouble detecting the installed pod. Here’s how to troubleshoot the issue.
- Try charging the device. The most likely reason why a Lost Mary BM6000 would blink is because of a dead battery. If the device charges when you connect it to a USB power source, wait for the battery to charge fully and then resume vaping. If it doesn’t charge, scroll up to the “Charging” section above to troubleshoot that issue.
- Remove the pod if you’re using the refillable version of the Lost Mary BM6000. Check for e-liquid under the pod and dry the pod and device thoroughly if necessary. Reinstall the pod and try vaping again.
- Replace the Lost Mary BM6000 if it continues to blink after you’ve followed all of the above troubleshooting steps. It’s likely that the device is either faulty or damaged internally, perhaps from being dropped on a hard surface. If the refillable version of the BM6000 is available where you live, you can also try buying a refill kit in case the pod is faulty. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, though, you’ll still need to replace the device.
