I really like these disposables but I totally understand why they shouldn’t be available.
I’ve been informed that these should be treated like batteries when recycling.
They’re really handy in a pinch but some people seem to only buy disposables. If you’re going to start vaping then you’re much better off getting a proper battery rather than burning through disposables.
I’ve become pretty convinced over the last few years they should just clamp down on all non-refillable devices. I have a feeling this would stop a lot of teen vaping, because messing about with coils and liquids takes any glamour out of the thing
The EU are introducing new laws that require batteries be easily user-replacable in devices like vapes. I’m hoping that’ll kill them off if nothing else.
Well, they do have batteries so, yeah. That’s the issue I have with them: they’re made of a finite, fairly precious and environmentally damaging material but the manufacturers specifically sell them as disposable. At least a McDonalds carton dumped on the roadside will dissolve to harmless mush in a few months, but disposable vapes won’t; they’re going to landfill, or down drains into rivers, or exploding in compactors and the manufacturers know it.
I’ve been vaping for nearly a decade now but I agree with getting rid of these disposables. Totally bad for the environment.
And since these are the ones that teens are said to be using in schools it might kill 2 birds with one stone.
My only worry is that once they start regulating things, they’ll fuck up non disposables too somehow. Like they did with the max nicotine level and the tank capacity.
It’s really confusing. I swear they all used to be reusable with refill bottles, then at some point they just changed to disposable.
Honestly, you would think it would be easy to push refillables… like that would sell just fine. My suspicion is, like ink printers, they don’t want people using other liquids.
In the long run the disposable ones work out to be more expensive which means they make more profit.
But it’s hard for the average consumer to notice that because it takes a while to build up the price.
It’s like the difference between paying for a subscription £90 once a year, Vs paying £10 a month, for 12 months.
Obviously you are better off with the £90 option but it feels like a larger amount if you don’t pay attention.
That would be the concern. The “for the children” argument is often how governments open the door; after they establish a precedent (disposables are bad) they can start scaling up to other aspects using the same argument.
“Children are buying vape stuff in pretty colors!” “Children like the pretty vapor!” Etc.
disposables shouldn’t exist altogether.
Oh yeah, fuck the medical and care fields entirely, not to mention food preparation and hygiene.
Rather than come in aggressive, why not educate? It’s easy to forget that there are genuine needs for disposable items when you don’t encounter them every day.
what are you saying??? how do disposable vapes help with food preparation and hygiene
No, but neither were you saying “disposables vapes shouldn’t exist altogether”, you were making an ignorant generalisation about “disposables”, and I pointed out that there is significantly more nuance to it that you seem to grasp.
Perhaps in future say what you actually mean.
Reminder to everyone reading this BLOCK THIS USER
Take a look at their post history and how they interact with anyone. It’s condescending, vitriolic and pedantic at every turn. I don’t wanna see comments like this as they literally just go out looking for arguments. It makes our communities worse and leans into the idea that redditors are pedantic assholes.
If you just block them then they can fester in an argumentative corner with the other cretins. The rest of us can have chill open discussions and actually behave like normal fucking human beings.
I’ve come across this prat before, literally every single thread that they’re in they have to take some stupid brainless position just to be argumentative, for the sake of being argumentative. It’s not worth interacting with them, they’re not interested in an actual discussion because they don’t actually have an opinion, they just want to be awkward.
If there was a thread the sky is blue, they’d probably take the opposite position just to be irritating. They have no opinion of their own.
I’ve picked them up for a night out, but just so I don’t lose my proper one. They’re also very strong at a base level, they say 2% but a lot of people don’t realise that’s 20mg. My usual is 3mg as I’ve cut down, so I feel that the next day.
I always prefer disposable-sized vapes, but seriously just get one with replaceable pods. I might spend 60 dollars every two months buying juice and a few packs of coils. The Vaporesso XROS for example is great and I manage to get 4 or 5 days out of each coil replacement.
