It is also a huge e-waste issue with so many disposable ones. I can't believe they have been allowed in the market for a start. Is that so hard to buy one and refill it?


> Is that so hard to buy one and refill it?

There are a lot of decisions to make when buying a refillable vape. There are various models, they have compatible, disposable pods (the vape juice receptacle) with coils of various ohms resistance, and then juices which are either salt nic or free base with a range of nicotine concentrations.

One could go to a vape shop and have the clerk explain all of this, or spend a bit of time researching online. It's not especially hard, but it _is_ harder than just strolling to any corner store or gas station and asking for a disposable vape.

The e-waste of disposables is hard to stomach, especially some of the newer disposables that even have LCDs and buttons for playing little games on the vape.


That this isn't already covered by some general legislation to avoid one way over reasonable reusable stuff is sad.

That this is not yet banned or supertaxed by specialized law shows the slowness of our regulatory bodies - as designed and good for the bad stuff.

It's a shame, but small tip of the iceberg!
