Lost Mary vape: can you still use it after the UK ban?
Lost Mary was one of the UK’s top-selling disposable vape brands — but with the 2025 UK ban on single-use vapes now in place, many users are asking: can I still use my Lost Mary vape? Let’s clear the air.
What's banned — and what’s not
As of 1 June 2025, it is illegal to sell or buy single-use disposable vapes in the UK. This includes classic Lost Mary models like the BM600 and AM600, which were designed for one-time use and disposal.
However, the ban doesn’t apply to all Lost Mary products — some models are still fully legal and available.
Legal Lost Mary vape products in 2025
- ✅ Lost Mary Tappo – A prefilled pod system with rechargeable battery. Uses refill pods that comply with UK limits (2ml, max 20mg nicotine).
- ✅ Lost Mary Nera – A rechargeable pod kit with mesh coil technology, USB-C charging, and long-lasting performance.
Both of these are designed to reduce waste and fall within UK Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR) guidelines.
Can you use an old disposable Lost Mary?
If you already own a disposable Lost Mary (e.g. bought before the ban), you can still use it. The law applies to selling and purchasing new ones — not using stock you already have.
However, once it’s finished, you won’t be able to buy another — so it’s time to consider alternatives.
Best alternatives to banned Lost Mary models
- 🔄 Lost Mary Tappo – Feels like a disposable, but refillable and legal
- 🔄 Elf Bar ELFA Pro – Prefilled, rechargeable, wide flavour range
- 🔄 Crystal Plus – Prefilled pod system with strong flavour delivery
These devices are designed to help users transition smoothly from disposables, offering the same feel and nicotine hit — without breaking the law.
Why the UK banned disposables
- 🗑️ To reduce plastic and battery waste
- 🚫 To curb teen access and underage use
- 💨 To shift the market toward reusable, more sustainable products
Final thoughts
The classic Lost Mary vape might be banned, but the brand isn’t going anywhere. With legal alternatives like the Tappo and Nera systems, Lost Mary fans can still enjoy great flavour and convenience — without falling foul of the law.
