You’ll find Lost Mary vapes displayed prominently at virtually any good online or local vape shop.
Lost Mary vapes may seem somewhat self-explanatory on the surface, but the truth is that these are actually fairly complex devices – and unfortunately, you won’t find a printed Lost Mary instruction manual anywhere. In this guide, we’re going to fix that.
This is the Lost Mary instruction manual that you’ve been searching for everywhere. In it, you’re going to learn the answers to the questions you’ve been wondering about, such as:
- How do Lost Mary vapes work?

- What are the best Lost Mary flavors?

- What should you do if your Lost Mary isn’t hitting?
- What should you do if your Lost Mary isn’t charging?
We’ll start this guide at the very beginning. What, exactly, are Lost Mary vapes?
What Are Lost Mary Vapes?
Lost Mary is a brand of disposable vape. Disposable vapes are pre-charged and pre-filled by their makers, which means that they’re ready to use immediately when you buy them. When a disposable vape stops working or runs out of e-liquid, you need to replace it. Many modern disposable vapes last thousands of puffs before running out of vape juice, and these high-capacity devices have rechargeable batteries to ensure that you can use every drop of e-liquid before replacing them. Lost Mary vapes are incredibly popular because they’re some of the tastiest and most stylish disposable vapes on the market.
Who Makes Lost Mary Vapes?
Lost Mary vapes are manufactured by EB Design, which is the same company that makes the popular Elf Bar brand. Throughout 2022 and most of 2023, Elf Bar was easily the most popular brand of disposable vape in the world. Due to trademark issues, though, the Elf Bar brand underwent a name change in 2023 – so Elf Bar vapes are now known as EB Design vapes. It’s possible that the Lost Mary brand was created to avoid future trademark disputes – and thanks to a major marketing push, it now looks likely that the Lost Mary brand will soon eclipse Elf Bar in popularity.
What Are Some of the Most Popular Lost Mary Flavors and Models?
If you’re not sure which Lost Mary vape to try first, we’ve got you covered. Here are some of the most popular Lost Mary flavors and models currently on the market; we think you’ll be happy with any of them. Don’t forget that device availability can vary depending on where you live.

Where Can You Buy Lost Mary Vapes?
You can buy Lost Mary vapes at almost any good online or local vape shop. Some convenience stores and gas stations may also carry Lost Mary products, but we recommend buying them from vape shops due to potential concerns about product authenticity. We’ll discuss that issue in greater detail shortly.
How Much Is a Lost Mary Vape?
Lost Mary vapes typically cost around £5-6 in the United Kingdom and $10-15 in the United States. The price is due to the fact that different Lost Mary models are available in different regions. There’s no restriction on the amount of e-liquid a disposable vape can contain in the United States, so the devices typically have much higher capacities and cost a bit more as a result.
How Much Nicotine Is in a Lost Mary Vape?
In the United Kingdom, any Lost Mary vape that’s legal for sale should contain no more than 40 mg of nicotine. That’s because the Tobacco Products Directive limits all pre-filled vaping products to a maximum e-liquid capacity of 2 ml and a maximum nicotine strength of 20 mg/ml.
In the United States, there are no laws that specifically limit the nicotine strength of e-liquid or the vape juice content of pre-filled devices. For that reason, it’s common to find disposable vapes with much higher e-liquid capacities and nicotine strengths. For example, the Lost Mary MO5000 contains 13 ml of vape juice and has a nicotine strength of 50 mg/ml. Therefore, the device contains 650 mg of nicotine in all.
Regardless of where you live, you can always calculate the total amount of nicotine in a Lost Mary vape by multiplying the nicotine strength in mg by the total e-liquid content in ml. In areas where high-capacity vapes are available, it’s important to keep in mind that a disposable vape may contain as much nicotine as an entire carton of cigarettes or more. Keep that in mind as you use your device, because you don’t want to consume more nicotine than you actually require.
Should I Be Worried About Fake Lost Mary Vapes?
Because EB Design makes the most popular disposable vapes in the world, the brand has been hit by rampant counterfeiting in recent years. The problem is actually much more serious than you might imagine. Millions of fake Elf Bars have been seized by customs agents and police officers, which probably means that millions more fake devices have evaded the authorities and are being offered on local store shelves right now. Given the recent popularity of Lost Mary, it’s almost certainly the brand that counterfeiters will target next. You should be very careful when buying Lost Mary vapes; we suggest getting them only from a trusted vape shop.
How Do Lost Mary Vapes Work?
The design of a Lost Mary vape is actually somewhat simple. The device contains a battery to supply power, and it has a circuit board that manages the transfer of electricity to the heating coil from the battery. When you puff on the device, a sensor detects the incoming air, and that triggers the device to send power to the coil.
The heating coil in a Lost Mary vape has a cotton or poly wick wrapped around it. When you use the device, the coil vaporizes some of the e-liquid held in the inner portion of the wick – and between puffs, the vape juice that remains in the wick redistributes itself through the process of absorption.
A Lost Mary vape also has an integrated circuit and firmware that help to keep you safe when you vape. These components control functions such as battery voltage monitoring, short circuit detection and overheating prevention.
How to Use a Lost Mary Vape
One of the most notable benefits of disposable vapes such as those by Lost Mary is that they’re incredibly simple to use. Even if you’re a smoker who has never vaped before, using a Lost Mary vape will become second nature for you almost right away. Here’s how to use your device.
- Remove the device from the package and look for a sticker blocking the airflow hole at the bottom of the device. This sticker isn’t used on all Lost Mary models. If you find a sticker, remove it and throw it away.
- Puff on the Lost Mary gently when you want to vape. When you inhale, the device automatically turns on and produces vapor. Inhale the vapor as if it were cigarette smoke. When you feel satisfied, put the device down for a while. To ensure that your Lost Mary vapes will last as long as they can, you shouldn’t vape constantly – only use your device when you actually need the nicotine.
- If you’re using a Lost Mary vape with a USB port, the battery is rechargeable. When the light blinks, connect the device to your computer to recharge it. If the device doesn’t have a USB port, the battery has sufficient power to drain the device’s entire e-liquid supply and doesn’t need to be rechargeable. In this case, it’s time to dispose of the device when the light blinks.
- If you’re using a rechargeable Lost Mary vape, dispose of the device when it runs out of e-liquid. We’ll explain how to know when your device it out of vape juice shortly.
How to Charge a Lost Mary Vape
As we mentioned above, your Lost Mary vape is rechargeable if it has a USB port. A rechargeable Lost Mary vape contains more e-liquid than you can exhaust in a single battery charge, so you’ll need to recharge the battery periodically in order to use the device’s entire e-liquid supply. When your Lost Vape blinks, it’s time to recharge it.
Recharge your Lost Mary by connecting it to your computer with a USB cable. When you connect the device, the LED illuminates to show that the battery is charging. When the LED changes color or shuts off, the device is fully charged. At that point, you can disconnect it from your computer and resume using it.
How Long Does a Lost Mary Take to Charge?
A rechargeable Lost Mary vape recharges from a fully dead state in about 30 minutes.
How Long Does a Lost Mary Vape Last?
The capacity of a Lost Mary vape can vary a great deal depending on the legal restrictions where you live. In the United Kingdom, for instance, the Lost Mary vapes that are legal for sale typically last up to about 600 puffs. In the United States, on the other hand, the high-capacity vapes that are available may last up to 5,000 puffs or even more. You can think of every 200-300 puffs as being about the equivalent of a full day of vaping, which means that a 5,000-puff vape may last as long as a couple of weeks.
When you shop for Lost Mary vapes, you’ll notice that every device has a puff count shown on the box. As mentioned above, the advertised puff counts can vary widely and usually range from about 600 to 5,000 puffs.
Knowing when you need to replace a Lost Mary vape depends on whether the device has a rechargeable battery or not.
- If the device doesn’t have a rechargeable battery, you’ll dispose of it when the light starts to blink, which indicates that the battery is dead. When this happens, you don’t need to worry that you’re wasting e-liquid because a non-rechargeable disposable vape has enough battery power to drain the entire supply of vape juice on one battery charge.
- If the device has a rechargeable battery, you’ll dispose of it when it’s out of e-liquid. You’ll know that your device is getting low on vape juice because the flavor quality will start to decline sharply. When the device has no e-liquid remaining, you’ll either get an extremely harsh flavor with every hit, or your Lost Mary will stop producing vapor entirely.
How to Fix Problems with a Lost Mary Vape
Like all high-quality disposable vapes, Lost Mary vapes are generally completely reliable from the first puff to the last. The devices are produced by the tens of thousands every day, though, and it’s likely that you’re going to experience an issue from time to time. If your Lost Mary isn’t working, we’ve got the solution for you here.
Lost Mary Not Hitting
If your Lost Mary isn’t hitting and has never worked, the first thing that you should do is check for a sticker on the bottom of the device. Remember that the sticker is there to prevent the device from leaking or activating while in transit, and your Lost Mary won’t work until you peel the sticker off.
The next thing that you should do with a Lost Mary that isn’t working is check to see if the LED is blinking. A blinking light generally means that you need to charge the battery.
If you’re sure that you’re doing everything right – and your Lost Mary still isn’t hitting – it’s possible that the device has a clog in its airflow tube or that the built-in puff sensor isn’t as sensitive as it should be. See if you can get the device working by puffing more firmly.
Lost Mary Not Charging
If your Lost Mary doesn’t light up when you connect it to a power source, it’s a sign that the battery isn’t charging. In most cases, though, this issue is completely fixable. Here’s how to fix it. If you’re still having trouble, learn more about how to fix a Lost Mary that isn’t charging.
- Make sure that you’re only charging your Lost Mary by connecting it to your computer. Don’t use another power source like a wall charger. Most wall chargers for phones and other mobile devices supply higher-amperage currents than vaping devices can handle.
- Use a different USB cable. If a vaping device doesn’t charge when connected to a computer, it’s almost always because the cable has an internal fault. The charging cables bundled with battery-powered devices are notoriously prone to breaking.
- Clean the charging port on your Lost Mary. If you carry the device in your pocket, it’s possible that lint has gathered in the charging port and is preventing power from transferring. Remove the lint with a toothpick or other thin non-metal tool.
Lost Mary Blinking
If your Lost Mary is blinking, it generally means one of two things.
- The battery is dead. If the device blinks and produces no vapor every time you try to use it, you almost certainly need to charge the battery.
- You’re exceeding the device’s automatic puff timer. If you take extremely long puffs, the Lost Mary will blink and stop producing vapor. That’s to prevent the device from overheating. There’s no way to disable the puff timer, so you’ll need to take shorter puffs.
Lost Mary Short Circuit
If your Lost Mary is blinking when you vape – and you’re certain that the scenarios described above don’t apply to you – it’s possible that your Lost Mary is blinking because it’s detecting a short circuit when you try to vape. This might happen, for instance, if the device has been submerged in water or dropped on a hard surface. In this case, you should stop using the device and dispose of it.
Lost Mary Leaking or Spitting
Is your Lost Mary leaking e-liquid out of the airflow hole or spitting e-liquid into your mouth when you try to vape? If you have a new device that is spitting a little or has leaked inside the package, it’s usually not a major concern, and only a little e-liquid will have been lost. Just continue using the device as normal, and the e-liquid should equalize itself. You can minimize the e-liquid getting in your mouth by running a rolled-up paper towel down the device’s mouthpiece.
If your Lost Mary continues to spit e-liquid into your mouth, you’re probably puffing too hard when you use the device. If you use too much air pressure, you’ll force e-liquid out of the Lost Mary’s wick and into the center air tube. Focus on using just enough air pressure to make the device’s LED turn on; that’s as hard as you should pull when using your Lost Mary.
Lost Mary Tastes Burnt
It’s not the end of the world if your Lost Mary tastes burnt, but it could be the end of the device because you should only get a burnt flavor with a Lost Mary vape for two reasons.
- You’re vaping too quickly and aren’t waiting a few seconds between puffs. Always wait a few seconds after each puff to give the wick a chance to redistribute the e-liquid. If you don’t, you’ll end up getting a harsh “dry hit” and may even burn the device’s wick.
- Your device is out of vape juice. If you get a burnt hit every time you vape – and you’ve been using your Lost Mary for a while – you’ve almost definitely used all of the e-liquid.
Lost Mary Not Lasting
If you’ve been using Lost Mary vapes for a while and find that the devices never seem to last, you’re probably overusing the devices and are taking many more puffs than you realize. As a smoker, you probably smoke one cigarette every hour or two – and every cigarette lasts about 10-15 puffs on average. If you don’t try to replicate that pattern when using your Lost Mary, you’ll end up consuming much more nicotine than you actually need and will end up replacing your devices constantly.

Bought 3 lost mary OS5000 series vapes and all three have the same problem. I take a hit. It doesn’t stop burning for 8-10 seconds. Thought it was just a one-off. Tried the other two. Same thing.
