Verdict
Hayati edges it on value, more puffs at a lower price with better coil technology. Elf Bar wins on battery capacity and availability. If you vape heavily and want something from any corner shop, Elf Bar. If you want better flavour consistency and lower cost per pod, Hayati.
Lost Mary is a sister brand to Elf Bar and built its UK following on compact, flavour-forward pod kits.
The BM6000 became one of the go-to post-ban replacements for disposable users. Here’s how it
compares directly to Hayati’s flagship.
| Spec | Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 | Lost Mary BM6000 |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Prefilled pod kit | Prefilled pod + 10ml refill |
| Total e-liquid | 2ml per pod | 12ml (pod + refill) |
| Puff count | 6,000 | 6,000 |
| Nicotine strength | 20mg nic salt | 20mg nic salt |
| Charging | USB-C | USB-C |
| Battery | 850mAh | 900mAh |
| Coil type | Mesh coil | Standard coil |

Verdict
Lost Mary’s dual-chamber design is clever, 12ml total per pod means fewer swaps, but at a higher price with a standard coil. Hayati wins on flavour delivery and cost. Lost Mary wins on total liquid per pod and retail availability. Both sit at 6,000 puffs so it comes down to whether you prioritise flavour quality or fewer pod changes.
OXVA’s XLIM range targets vapers who want more control, adjustable airflow, refillable pods, and
performance-focused hardware. It’s a different proposition to Hayati’s prefilled system, but many
vapers consider both when choosing their post-ban setup.
