While the lithium-ion batteries in disposable electronic cigarettes are discarded after a single use, they can continue to perform at high capacity for hundreds of cycles, according to a study published December 12 in the journal Joule.
This shit really grinds my gears. There’s absolutely no need for this product. Normal vape is like $20, you’re not saving on anything. In EU the manufacturers are obligated to recover used units (they have to setup boxes where you can drop them and handle recycling) but obviously you see them on the ground all the time. This should be banned with the speed of light but EC thinks the current regulations are enough. Fucking infuriating.
I was in Italy recently, and I could ONLY buy single use. I fucking hated it as it died in two days making me throw out an otherwise fine device - just because there’s no charging port.
Now I have one lasting for almost half a year, and that’s only the taste that dissappears - not the battery becoming bad.
Never heard about it. My GF vapes and the vape is simply a battery with a charger. The liquid container is exchangeable. You refill it and when it runs out you change it. There’s no maintenance. And even if it were true what do I care? We’re supposed to contaminate the environment with batteries because some people are inconvenienced by their addiction? As I said, this product is not needed and should be banned.
When I was vaping I had to replace the coils every few weeks and cleaned out the mouthpiece, liquid container and stuff in an ultrasound. Also, I mixed flavor liquid with the nicotine liquid and had to watch out for the right mixing ratios.
I’d say that’s all a bit involved and a bit much for those that just want a hit of nicotine.
Disposable e-cigarettes were a direct and immediate response to pod based vapes getting banned. Use to be, you would buy a device and just buy juice pods that were disposable. It still wasn’t great for waste, but that policy was a clear step in the wrong direction.
They saved children from using Juuls, just to fill the landfills with lithium batteries.

I believe the regulations about replaceable batteries will apply here but they are only coming to life in 2025 or even later.
Aah okay! It’s good to know.
Where I live, only single use vapes are legal.
Tobacco companies must love anti-ecig regulations like that lol.
People are lazy and don’t want to maintain a vape, which does require some basic maintenance/cleaning.

It’s definitely the way to go, and the maintenance is easy. You do need to replace the coil every now and then though FYI.

Sure but that’s not how it works now. I doesn’t really matter how it worked in the past since the single use vapes are sold today.
https://www.vapvapor.es/aspire-avp-pro-recambio - you only have to change this part, that’s all the maintainence. Also, smoker’s convince is not a reason to throw batteries in the trash.

You’re talking about US, right? I don’t think pod based vapes are banned in EU. And disposable ones are still sold here.
