How to remove the Lost Mary BM600 mouthpiece for cleaning
The job is simplest when the device is cold, dry and clearly identified. BM600, BM600S and BM6000 devices can share a similar appearance but may use different mouthpiece assemblies, so the model marking and supplied instructions should guide you. A removable silicone insert, a fixed plastic mouthpiece and a locking collar each require a different approach.
For adult smokers and vapers in Australia, mouthpiece hygiene is only one part of safe use. Nicotine remains highly addictive, and cleaning does not remove it from the e-liquid or make vaping risk-free. Federal restrictions also mean that a product’s presence in an online catalogue does not by itself make it lawful to buy or supply in Australia.
Identify the BM600 mouthpiece before removing it
Start by checking the label printed on the BM600 body, then inspect the top without pulling. Look for a visible seam, silicone sleeve, rotating collar or airflow slot. The capacity marking and product leaflet are more dependable than a photograph, especially when comparing a BM600 with a BM600S or BM6000.
Before ordering a replacement, check the retailer’s accessory range and the device’s own instructions. Background information about the company and its catalogue is available in the Lost Mary Pro details, but compatibility should be confirmed from the model number and physical connector rather than assumed from the Lost Mary name.
Use the visible features to choose a cautious response:
| Visible feature | Possible assembly | Careful response |
|---|---|---|
| Soft silicone centre with a visible edge | Lift-out insert | Ease it upward by its edge without pulling the body |
| Plastic ring with a free-turning joint | Twist-lock collar | Align it as the guide indicates and turn it gently |
| No seam, clip or release point | Integrated mouthpiece | Wipe the accessible surface; do not dismantle it |
| Part appears bonded or sits deeply | Model-specific assembly | Stop and check with the supplier |
If the housing flexes, cracks or begins to separate, stop immediately. The BM600 body contains the battery, coil and liquid in a sealed assembly, and the intended mouthpiece component should come away without opening that housing.
Remove the mouthpiece without forcing the device
Prepare a clean, ventilated work area away from food preparation, children and pets. Wash and dry your hands, clear away moisture and keep the device upright while inspecting the joint. Do not attempt removal while the device is warm or connected to charging equipment.
Wrap your thumb and forefinger in a clean tissue if the mouthpiece is slippery, then use the least force needed. On a lift-out silicone piece, ease it upward from its seating without tugging on the plastic collar. On a collar that visibly rotates, align it as the manufacturer indicates and turn it gently; it should release without resistance.
If there is no movement, do not insert tweezers, pry with a knife or lever against the housing. Solvents, heat and sharp tools can damage seals and allow liquid to reach electrical parts. Avoid pulling sideways as well, because the side wall of a shallow silicone sleeve can stretch or tear before it releases.
Clean the removable mouthpiece with mild soap
For a mouthpiece that the manufacturer identifies as washable, separate only the removable part. Use lukewarm water and a small amount of mild, unscented dish soap, rubbing the contact surface gently between clean fingers. Never place the complete BM600 under running water, in a dishwasher or in a bowl of water.
The cleaning routine can stay simple:
- Rinse the piece under lukewarm water to remove loose residue.
- Work mild soap over grooves with clean fingers or a soft brush.
- Rinse again and check that no cloudy film or sticky patch remains.
- Air-dry on a clean towel, out of direct sun and away from household dust.
After cleaning, inspect the mouthpiece for sticky residue, splits or a distorted edge. If the insert is bonded into a fixed mouthpiece, wipe only the accessible surface with a barely damp lint-free cloth or cotton swab; do not flood the opening or push liquid into the device.
Avoid alcohol, bleach, sanitiser, toothpaste and abrasive cleaners on the mouthpiece. These products can damage silicone, leave flavours in the contact area or make the surface harder to clean. A faint soap smell can linger after rinsing, so allow the part to dry at room temperature before checking it.
Dry and refit the mouthpiece correctly
Give the mouthpiece time to air-dry in a clean area away from direct sun. During a hot Australian summer, a dashboard, windowsill or outdoor ledge can heat the device quickly, so choose a shaded indoor spot. Do not speed drying with a hair dryer, heater or microwave, as heat can distort the part and affect its fit.
Once it is completely dry, inspect the seal and any alignment tabs. Reinsert the mouthpiece in the same orientation in which it came out, using light pressure until it sits evenly. A click or gentle resistance can be a useful sign, but do not press hard enough to deform silicone or force an unknown part into the body.
Before use, check for moisture, heat, leaks or a loose fit at the joint. Airflow should feel normal, with no gurgling suggesting liquid has entered the chamber. If anything is damp or damaged, leave the device unused until the part is fully dry or replaced; cleaning cannot make a compromised electrical unit safe.
Follow Australian nicotine and retail rules
Australia’s legal vape market is tightly controlled and differs from the unrestricted online shelves seen in many overseas stores. Since 1 July 2024, lawful vape supply has been limited to authorised products available through licensed pharmacies under a valid prescription, and disposable vapes cannot be sold. The Therapeutic Goods Administration, or TGA, oversees this framework. Authenticity and Australian regulatory approval are separate issues.
Australian English commonly uses vape and flavours, and it is illegal to sell tobacco and vape products to anyone under 18. Check current TGA information and the rules in your state or territory before purchasing. An online catalogue can help identify a device or part, but it does not turn an online sale into lawful supply.
Use these checks whenever buying a device, pod or accessory:
- Confirm the supply route is lawful and keep any prescription required for pharmacy supply.
- Check the brand, model, capacity, nicotine strength in mg/mL and flavour before ordering.
- Keep vapes and replacement parts away from children, including in drawstring bags or outdoor areas.
- Never add concentrated nicotine or other e-liquid to a device unless its instructions expressly allow it.
When a BM600 is spent, take the device and any separate lithium battery to a council e-waste or hazardous-waste site where accepted; do not put them in household recycling or a kerbside bin. Arrangements differ across Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and regional areas, so check the relevant council before travelling.
Resolve common mouthpiece problems safely
Most mouthpiece problems come from force, residue or the wrong part. If the mouthpiece will not move, applying more pressure can split the plastic collar and expose the sealed body. If it moves but feels slack, the plug, sealing ring or housing may be worn; never bridge a gap with tape, resin or spare material.
Sticky residue usually means another mild wash is needed, while a split, tear or flattened seal calls for replacement. A loose connection, unusual heat or gurgling is a reason to stop using the device rather than repeatedly pushing the part back into place. For model-specific help, use Lost Mary Pro support and include the BM600 label, a clear photo of the joint and a short description of what happens when you pull.
Take extra care with an unfamiliar device, especially if it was bought without packaging or instructions. Photographing the joint for reference can help, but it cannot establish whether a hidden clip is safe to release. When a genuine BM600 is fixed, non-washable or damaged, replace the component rather than opening the battery compartment.
Keep a clean mouthpiece and a safe device
Make the clean-and-reassemble routine part of your next device check: identify the BM600 variant, remove only the intended mouthpiece component, wash it with mild soapy water if the instructions allow, dry it fully and confirm a secure fit before use. If the component is fixed or damaged, do not dismantle the sealed unit; choose a compatible genuine replacement.
Adults who need a replacement should verify the exact BM600, BM600S or BM6000 model, compare the connector and dimensions, and confirm current Australian supply rules before ordering. Follow the model-specific process every time, keep nicotine products away from children and dispose of spent devices through an approved local e-waste service.
