PIXL vs Lost Mary compared
These two are closer than most brand comparisons. A PIXL 8000 and a Lost Mary BM6000 both hold 12ml across a 2ml pod and a 10ml refill, both cost around £11.99 and both charge over USB Type-C, so the real differences are battery size, puff rating, flavour choice and nicotine options.
That shared format is not a coincidence. UK rules cap pods at 2ml and banned single use disposables in June 2025, so both brands landed on the same solution of a small pod fed by a larger sealed container.
This guide puts the two side by side on the specs that change your day, then gives a straight answer on who each one suits.
The specs side by side
Start with the numbers, because they set up everything else. The PIXL 8000 is rated higher on puffs at around 8000 against 6000, while the Lost Mary BM6000 carries the larger battery at 1000mAh against 850mAh.
| Spec | PIXL 8000 | Lost Mary BM6000 |
|---|---|---|
| Total liquid | 12ml, a 2ml pod plus a 10ml refill | 12ml, a 2ml pod plus a 10ml refill |
| Rated puffs | Around 8000 | Around 6000 |
| Battery | 850mAh | 1000mAh |
| Charging | USB Type-C | USB Type-C, around an hour |
| Nicotine strengths | 20mg nic salt | 0mg, 10mg and 20mg |
| Display | Digital screen with a puff counter | LED battery indicator |
| Boost mode | Yes | No |
| Flavours | Around forty | Over sixty |
| Coil and style | Mesh, mouth to lung | Mesh, mouth to lung |
| Typical price | Around £11.99 | Around £11.99 |
The liquid volume being identical is the headline. Both carry 12ml, so the practical life of a kit is very similar whatever the puff ratings say, because a rated figure is a lab measurement rather than a promise.

Where PIXL wins
Three things separate PIXL from its closest rival. The higher puff rating on the 8000, the boost mode that warms the draw on demand and the digital screen with a puff counter rather than a simple battery light.
Boost mode is the one people notice most. It gives a richer, warmer draw when you want it and switching it off returns the device to a lighter everyday setting. Nothing in the Lost Mary BM6000 does that.
- Higher rated puffs: around 8000 against 6000 on the same 12ml.
- Boost mode: a stronger draw on demand rather than one fixed setting.
- Puff counter: useful if you are tracking or cutting down.
- Dual flavour option: the Duo 12 has no direct Lost Mary equivalent in this format.
Where Lost Mary wins
Lost Mary answers with scale and choice. A larger 1000mAh battery, over sixty flavours against around forty and a choice of 0mg, 10mg or 20mg nicotine rather than 20mg alone.
The strength options matter more than they first appear. Someone cutting down or an existing vaper who finds 20mg too strong, has somewhere to go with Lost Mary and does not with a PIXL prefilled pod. PIXL does make bottled nic salts at 10mg, though that means moving to a refillable kit rather than staying on prefilled pods.
- Bigger battery: 1000mAh, so longer between charges.
- More flavours: over sixty options across the range.
- Three strengths: 0mg, 10mg and 20mg on prefilled pods.
- Wider availability: a longer established name on UK shelves.
Which should you choose
It comes down to what you want the device to do. Choose PIXL if you want boost mode, a puff counter or the option of two flavours at once on the Duo 12. Choose Lost Mary if you want the largest flavour range or a nicotine strength below 20mg.
| If you want | Choose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A stronger draw on demand | PIXL | Boost mode has no equivalent on the BM6000 |
| To track how much you vape | PIXL | The screen carries a puff counter |
| Two flavours in one device | PIXL Duo 12 | No direct Lost Mary equivalent in this format |
| A lower nicotine strength | Lost Mary | Prefilled pods in 0mg, 10mg and 20mg |
| The widest flavour choice | Lost Mary | Over sixty options against around forty |
| The longest gap between charges | Lost Mary | 1000mAh against 850mAh |
There is no bad choice between them. Both are compliant UK kits from established brands at the same price carrying the same volume of liquid, so you are picking features rather than quality.
What they have in common
The shared ground is larger than the differences. Both are rechargeable prefilled pod kits holding 12ml, both use mesh coils and a mouth to lung draw, both charge over USB Type-C and both meet the UK rules that replaced disposables.
Running cost is close to identical too. Both sit around £11.99 for a kit and both replace liquid by the pod set rather than the bottle, so the weekly spend for a given habit works out much the same either way.

Both brands attract counterfeits
Popularity is exactly what fakes follow. PIXL and Lost Mary are both widely copied and a counterfeit of either may hold less liquid than claimed, carry nicotine above the legal limit or fail within days, because it has never been through the checks a genuine UK device goes through.
Genuine kits from either brand carry a 2ml pod, correct labelling and a nicotine warning across the packaging. Buying from a trusted retailer is the simplest way to make sure the comparison above applies to the device you actually receive.
The bottom line: a PIXL 8000 and a Lost Mary BM6000 both hold 12ml, cost around £11.99 and charge over USB Type-C. PIXL leads on rated puffs, boost mode and a puff counter, while Lost Mary leads on battery at 1000mAh, flavour range at over sixty and nicotine choice at 0mg, 10mg and 20mg. Both are compliant UK kits, so the choice is about features rather than quality. Vaping is intended for adult smokers and vapers only, never for children, young people or non smokers.

Frequently asked questions
Is PIXL better than Lost Mary?
Neither is better outright, since both are compliant UK prefilled pod kits holding 12ml at around £11.99. PIXL leads on rated puffs, boost mode and a puff counter on the screen. Lost Mary leads on battery size at 1000mAh, flavour choice at over sixty options and nicotine strengths of 0mg, 10mg and 20mg.
Which lasts longer, a PIXL or a Lost Mary?
Both hold 12ml across a 2ml pod and a 10ml refill container, so the liquid available is identical and a kit lasts a similar length of time. The PIXL 8000 carries a higher rated puff figure, though rated puffs come from short lab measured draws rather than reflecting real use.
Which has the bigger battery, PIXL or Lost Mary?
The Lost Mary BM6000 has the larger battery at 1000mAh, against 850mAh on the PIXL 8000 and the Duo 12 and 650mAh on the PIXL 6000. In practice that means slightly longer between charges on the Lost Mary, though both comfortably cover a day for most people.
Does PIXL have a lower nicotine strength option?
Not on prefilled pods, which are 20mg across the range. Lost Mary offers prefilled pods at 0mg, 10mg and 20mg, so it has more room for anyone cutting down. PIXL does produce bottled nic salts at 10mg, though using those means moving to a refillable pod kit rather than a prefilled one.
Do PIXL and Lost Mary pods fit each other?
No. Pods are specific to the brand and to the model within it, so a Lost Mary BM6000 pod will not fit a PIXL and a PIXL pod will not fit a Lost Mary. Whichever kit you choose, you buy that model's pods from then on, which is worth factoring into the decision.
Are both PIXL and Lost Mary legal in the UK?
Yes. Both current ranges are rechargeable pod kits with replaceable pods, which is what the rules have required since single use disposables were banned on 1 June 2025. Both carry pods capped at 2ml in line with UK limits. Buying from a trusted retailer is how you make sure the stock is genuine.
