      I’m 39 and started vaping with disposable vapes. Vastly better than smoking (which I did before switching)

        Are you talking about juul/blu/those kinds that you buy the pods for? Or are you talking about puff bars etc where the entire thing including battery is one unit and you toss it after 1000 hits or whatever like these https://i1.wp.com/aksmokeworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/puff-flow-01.jpg?w=1000&ssl=1

        because blu/Juul/etc suck but disposables cost 3x as much and are so much worse for the environment. Disposable batteries are a level above the detriment to the planet of disposable plastic.

        The single use 1-unit disposables are what are so popular with the teenage crowd, according to my high schooler.

        It’s so much more cost effective to spend $20-40 on a good pod mod and buy premium juice online to refill your pod. better for the ocean and 3rd world countries too, all you’re throwing away is the 30ml plastic nicotine bottle once every few weeks.

          The single-purchase disposables are what I’m talking about and would like to encourage better market alternatives for.

          Cost-efficiency just isn’t a winning argument here for a whole bunch of consumers. Convenience is. I don’t necessarily like that, but it’s true, and you can’t fight preferences
