Comment on Vapes, chargers, and other “invisible” e-waste are a 9-million-ton problem.

  They are but disposables are quite popular as well and are getting more popular (higher margins I guess).

  I only see the disposables or the ones where you buy a battery and the batteries come separate.

  Refillable does not make them so much money and people are getting stupider and lazier. Smokingn one time use vapes now will cost people more than smoking cigarets. Much more, at least in EU.

  But they plan to make buying liquid more or as expensive than buying cigarets and tax it with progressive tax. They don’t like how cheap it is.

  I stopped 6 months ago but it costed me around 20£ monthly which in comparison to cigarets or heating tobacco is almost nothing.

    That’s sad to hear. I used to DIY my liquid and it was surprisingly easy and stupid cheap. And the coolest part is I was able to keep gradually cutting back on the nicotine until I quit completely. From what it seems like these disposables are loaded with nic and designed to keep you hooked. It seems counterintuitive considered vaping was mostly pushed as a way to quit cigarettes back in the day
