    Exactly. The fact that “disposable” vapes even exist is mind-boggling. And now they account for more than half of the electrical waste going to landfill. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Why do they even exist? Can’t they be banned?

    It’s like buying a USB battery pack to recharge your phone - and then chucking it out after it’s run out.

      Disposable vapes are actually made in a way where they would be fully reusable if they had a charging port and replacement cartridges available so it’s not even anything but pure greed and laziness

      You can actually buy that shit too! They sell them in petrol stations for god only knows what reason.
