They may look like travel shampoo bottles and smell like bubblegum, but after a few hundred puffs, some disposable, electronic cigarettes and vape pods release higher amounts of toxic metals than older e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. For example, one of the disposable e-cigarettes studied released more lead during a day’s use than nearly 20 packs of traditional cigarettes.
I can’t fathom how they’re legal. Disposable e cigarettes? The waste is insane, and the people using then aren’t properly disposing of them either…
There needs to be a $20 deposit on them that you get back when you turn in the empty vape.
Or, hot take, make vapes you can refill.
There are ones you can refill, the disposable ones should just be banned altogether.
The ones you could refill were the only game in town at the beginning, only thing I ever used. Need to get back on flower for weed but the cartridges are super convenient, at least they don’t have batteries(I know there are disposable weed vapes, not the same as the cartridges)
They aren’t in the UK, technically, but manufacturers get around it by making them rechargeable.
I’ve read about people that don’t bother recharging them, though.
Have you seen the Brit who made a bicycle battery from disposable ecigs?
He’s the one who made me aware of it, and made me contact political parties about their stance on them.

That’s interesting, thank you. I’ll give that a watch when when my deaf arse isn’t somewhere with loads of ambient noise.
Because the Trump and Biden FDA banned everything else already. Now they want to ban whats left in order to push people back toward cigarettes which can still be purchased at every gas station, grocery or convenience store in the country.
This. So much effort being put into regulating zero-waste bags and attached bottle cups yet those vapes fly under the radar
