Two pods at 600 puffs each covers the same ground as two of the old 600-puff bars — except the battery stays in your pocket instead of going in the bin twice. At 600 puffs a pod typically runs one to three days, so a box is closer to a few days' cover than a week's.

The last row in that table is the one worth reading twice.

These pods fit two devices, and one of them is not Lost Mary

They were designed for the Lost Mary Tappo — a 750mAh device with USB-C charging and LED battery indicators. They also fit the Elf Bar ELFA Pro, because the two systems share a pod format. Neither brand mentions it, and it is not obvious from either name.

That matters more than a compatibility footnote usually would, because the Tappo device itself has been discontinued. If yours has given up and you still like the flavours, the Elfa Pro starter kit takes these pods without any adaptor or workaround.

It runs the other way too: Elfa Pro replacement pods will seat in a Tappo, which effectively doubles the flavour library available to either device.

What they will not fit is the rest of the Lost Mary range. The BM6000 and Nera 30K use entirely different formats despite the shared brand, and forcing one into the other damages the contacts on both.

What a box costs against what it replaces

Two pods deliver the same puff count as two 600-puff bars at roughly the cost of one, because you are not buying a battery, circuitry and a casing each time.

The device is the one-off purchase. Everything after it is pods, and because the coil is built into each pod there is no separate coil to buy and no coil-changing to learn. That is the structural difference between this and an open-system kit, where coils are a third consumable on top of the device and the liquid.

What the October 2026 duty adds

Vaping Products Duty starts on 1 October 2026 at £2.20 per 10ml. A 2ml pod carries 44p in duty, 53p with VAT — the smallest hit of any format, because the charge is on volume. [documented — gov.uk, Vaping Products Duty guidance]

Prices will not change on the day; existing stock can be sold until 31 March 2027. Our breakdown of the vape tax sets out what it means format by format.

Fitting a pod — and the five minutes that matter

Take a pod from the box and peel the sticker off the base.
Pull the rubber bung out of the device mouthpiece.
Press the base of the pod until it clicks. On the newer Tappo Pro pod this step is not needed.
Leave it at least five minutes before the first draw.
Inhale. There is no button.

Five minutes is longer than most pods ask for, and it is entirely because of the internal seal. Each pod keeps the e-liquid physically away from the coil until first use — which is what stops a pod sitting in a drawer from slowly saturating its own coil and going stale before you open it.

The consequence is that the coil starts completely dry rather than partly wet, so it needs real time to wick. Draw on it early and you get a burnt note that often does not clear.

If the first draw tastes of nothing at all, that is the opposite problem and it resolves itself within two or three puffs.

The fifteen flavours currently stocked

Lost Mary's own range now runs to fifteen. Older listings elsewhere still show twenty-five, which reflects a wider range that has since narrowed — what is below is what you can actually buy.

Berry and blue fruit

Blueberry Sour Raspberry · Blue Razz Lemonade · Mix Berries · Strawberry Raspberry · Strawberry Ice

Blueberry Sour Raspberry is the range's best-known profile and the one carried straight over from the bars. Strawberry Ice is the softest of the five.

Tropical and stone fruit

Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava · Peach Ice · Tropical Fruit · Watermelon

Watermelon is the plainest thing in the range, which is not a criticism if you want something that does not demand attention. Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava is the most layered.

Menthol and ice

Spearmint · Banana Ice

Spearmint is the only menthol-led option. Banana Ice is fruit-first with cooling underneath — genuinely different rather than milder.

Drink and classic

Cherry Cola · Lemon Lime · Maryturbo · USA Mix

Maryturbo is the energy-drink profile. USA Mix is the only tobacco option. Lemon Lime is the driest in the range.

Availability shifts, so the selector above is the live list. The wider prefilled refill range covers other brands on the same format.

Where Lost Mary Tappo pods sit under UK rules

UK regulations cap a nicotine-containing pod at 2ml, with 20mg/ml the maximum strength. These are specified at exactly those figures, which is why every compliant prefilled pod on the market carries the same two numbers. [documented — gov.uk, Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016]

Single-use vapes have not been legal to sell in the UK since 1 June 2025. A device counts as reusable where it has a rechargeable battery, a replaceable pod, and refills genuinely sold as their own product — the pods existing as a separate purchase is what satisfies that last condition. [documented — gov.uk single-use vapes ban guidance]

Compliance for any specific product is settled by MHRA notification and enforced by Trading Standards rather than by a retailer's description, this page included.

What these pods will not do

They will not fire alone. No battery in the box — you need a Tappo or an ELFA Pro.
They cannot be refilled. The pod is sealed. When it is spent it is replaced, not topped up.
There is no strength choice. 20mg nicotine salt across every flavour, with nothing lower and no 0mg.
They will not fit other Lost Mary devices. The BM6000 and Nera 30K use different formats entirely.

Would you rather choose your own liquid and strength? Nic salt by the bottle pairs with refillable kits instead, and how the pod-and-device split works covers the arrangement if it is new to you.

Questions about Tappo pods

Do Lost Mary Tappo pods fit the Elf Bar ELFA Pro?

Yes. The two devices share a pod format, so Tappo pods seat correctly in an ELFA Pro and Elfa Pro pods seat in a Tappo. Particularly useful given the Tappo device is no longer produced.

How many puffs does a Box of 2 give?

Around 1,200 in total — up to 600 per pod, measured on short draws. The same as two 600-puff bars, at roughly the cost of one.

Will they fit a Lost Mary BM6000 or Nera 30K?

No. Despite the shared brand, those devices use completely different pod formats. Match the pod to the exact device name.

Why does a fresh pod taste burnt?

Because it was drawn on before the coil had wicked. The internal seal keeps the coil dry until you fit it, so give it a full five minutes.

What is the difference between a Tappo pod and a Tappo Pro pod?

The Pro version removes the need to press the base before use. The e-liquid, strength and flavours are identical across both.

Can I refill a Tappo pod myself?

No. These are sealed prefilled pods with the coil built in. When one is finished you fit a fresh one.

How do I know when a pod is empty?

The pod body is transparent, so you can see the level directly. Flavour fading is the other signal, and the device stops firing once the pod is done.

How long does one pod last?

One to three days for most people at 600 puffs, depending entirely on how often and how long you draw.
