    it makes me so mad to see the popularity of completely disposable vapes years after cartridges were already popular. just why

      Shit laws, mostly. They're less regulated in some aspects than the multiple use ones, so in some places you're able to have flavoured disposable ones but not flavoured juice for reusables, or different nicotine percentages. Also there's the upfront cost so you get this even more fucked up "sam vimes boot theory" situation where not only do you end up spending more on disposable vapes over time, vapers are also creating more waste than some entire countries.

    its interesting that a capacitor form factor was chosen for this cell but it isnt a capacitor. they self discharge and energy density is snot. its also in a size that Lion batteries come in, 13x300.

    disposable products like this need to go the fuck away. NOBODY recycles the batteries in them. they are almost entirely plastic, sold in plastic packaging that all goes to the fucking landfill. pure waste. waste after theyre sold, wasteful during the manufacturing process. fucking gold coated wires and pins. on a fucking throwaway product.
