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

I haven't vaped in years but are refillable tanks not a thing any more?
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 cartridges come separate.
Refillable does not make them so much money and people are getting stupider and lazier. Smoking 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 is in comparison to cigarets or heating tobacco almost nothing.
PS: Have you guys ever take apart one time use vape? There is almost no liquid. There is only small "wool" soaked up in liquid. Very much almost zero costs on liquid inside. And that's why it tastes like shit if you take proper hit like on normal vape.
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
