    I just want to say I hate disposable vapes with a passion, they are so terrible for the environment because people inevitably litter them, leaving the plastic and batteries to leech into the environment, let alone the nicotine remnants.

    If you use nicotine, please switch to a refillable vaporizer.

      Personally, the thing that gets me the most about the whole thing is that the vast majority of the singe use ones you find lying next to the road have perfectly good rechargeable lithium batteries in them. No charging port or easy way to refill them, but for two cent change pins on the main circuit board and a change in the molding the same device could easily be used for a decade or more.

        But then the company doesn’t get to charge you 1500% markup on the cost of it every couple weeks/months so it’ll never happen.

    I mean, didn’t they put cocaine in Coca Cola? I don’t think it might be that recent of a trend
