Lost Mary Tappo Review
The Lost Mary Tappo is a game-changer in the world of disposable vapes, offering the same convenience and intense lost mary flavours but in a more sustainable and cost-effective package. Retaining the signature design of the Lost Mary range, it provides a premium feel with its metallic body and robust build. The rechargeable 750mAh battery is a significant upgrade, ensuring longer use compared to standard disposables. The flavour delivery is top-notch, rivaling traditional disposables, although there is a slight drop in intensity as the battery depletes. With cross-compatibility for Elfa Pro and DM600S pods, it offers greater versatility. Overall, the Lost Mary Tappo is a fantastic choice for vapers looking for a familiar yet improved vaping experience while cutting down on waste and saving money.
What is the Lost Mary Tappo?
Lost Mary is already a household name in the vaping world. If you haven’t vaped one, you’ve definitely seen one—probably discarded on a pavement somewhere (not cool, by the way). The brand is one of the biggest in disposables, known for its iconic boxy design. But what if you could keep the same style and simplicity while making it reusable? That’s exactly what Lost Mary has done with the Tappo.
How Does It Work?
Instead of a fully enclosed single-use device, the Tappo has a rechargeable body and replaceable, prefilled 2ml pods. This means you can swap out the pods instead of binning the entire device. It’s a pod kit that focuses on maximum ease of use.
Unboxing the Tappo Kit
The packaging is slightly bigger than a disposable, but not by much. Inside, you’ll find the device neatly packed in a plastic tray with tear-off instructions (note to self: read them next time!). There’s no charging cable included, but since most people have a USB-C cable lying around, this helps keep costs down.
The device itself has a metallic wrap to keep it pristine, while the pod is sealed with a protective plug—similar to a disposable. Setup is easy: remove the seals, flick out the plug, and pop in the pod. The magnets inside hold it firmly in place. There’s a tiny rattle, but nothing major.
Using the Tappo
Now, here’s where I learned an important lesson: reading instructions matters. I took a few puffs and got nasty dry hits. Almost messaged TECC to complain, until I finally checked the manual. Turns out, you need to squeeze the base of the pod first to break a hidden seal and release the e-liquid. Once I did that, boom—flavour overload. Rookie mistake, but hey, now you won’t make the same one!
Flavour-wise, it’s exactly like vaping a Lost Mary disposable—effortless and bursting with taste.
Flavours Available
The Tappo kit comes in four different colours, each paired with a different pod:
- Dark Bronze – Blueberry Sour Raspberry
- Silver Stainless Steel – Strawberry Ice
- Green Pink – Watermelon
- Blue Green – Lemon Lime
On top of that, there are 15 additional flavours sold in twin packs, including:
I tried Lemon Lime, and it delivered a proper citrusy kick—not overly sweet but with just the right amount of tang.
Tappo vs Regular Lost Mary
For the Tappo to truly succeed, it needs to stand up to the original disposable version. So, I picked up a Lemon Lime BM600S for a side-by-side comparison.
-
Design & Feel: The Tappo wins hands down. The metallic body looks and feels more premium. It’s slightly chunkier, but that adds to its sturdiness.
-
Battery Life: The Tappo packs a 750mAh battery, compared to the BM600S’s 550mAh. That’s a solid upgrade, meaning longer vaping time before needing a charge.
-
Flavour: Both use mesh coils for maximum taste. The BM600S leans slightly sweeter, whereas the Tappo gives a more refined flavour. The difference is small but noticeable.
If you’re used to Lost Mary disposables, transitioning to the Tappo will be seamless.

Battery Life & Charging
The Tappo’s battery life is solid, lasting longer than a standard disposable. There’s an LED indicator to keep you in the know:
-
Green (50-100%) – You’re good to go.
-
Blue (20-50%) – Time to start thinking about a charge.
-
Red (<20%) – Grab that charging cable!
Charging is via USB-C and doesn’t take long. Pro tip: Get a second device so you can rotate between charging and vaping.
Ease of Use
If you can use a disposable, you can use the Tappo. Auto-draw activation means no buttons—just inhale and enjoy. The only thing to remember is priming the pod before use. The mouthpiece is slightly different but feels more premium.
