    The disposables are a product of bans in the first place.

    “No flavored pods allowed to be sold”

    So they just put them in disposables where the whole battery gets chucked. At least when all the kids used Juul they reused the fucking battery.

    The solution was to ban the sale of any and all vaporizers at gas stations. Outside of head shops/vape shops. Places they card everyone. Im certain there aren’t any highschool kids trying to buy box mods and tanks at a head shop without being carded but now I can’t get flavored juice anymore either because the lawmakers understanding of the situation is so inept. So disposables

      I have never been carded a single time in my life when buying cigarettes in France. Nor have I when buying shit from vape shops.

    I use a geekvape b60.

    It’s the easiest, most bulletproof, consistent, and trouble free vape I have ever owned and I’ve been at this for 15 years.

    Disposables are absolute garbage, some are shit out of the box and some shops don’t even allow returns, not to mention the waste of a dead lithium cell, a plastic case, leftover juice, wicking just tossed in a gutter.

    My waste is one tiny metal coil and an empty bottle, once every two weeks.

    BUT

    Convenience is convenience, fuck the planet, right, average consumer? Ban Keurig too, why stop?

          K-Cups I’m sure they meant. It is the plastic cup that houses the myriad of different brands of coffee for the Keurig machine. They cause quite a lot of plastic waste.

            Where I live just ask for €0.10 for the plastic cup. You will see people starting to use reusable cups just for that. I wonder why it has not been done, we have done it with plastic bags at the grocery and it works. But it’s maybe because people don’t want to bring a cup around for just a convenience, while at the grocery you are going with the full intent to needed to shop there.

      Yeah, the ecig ‘crisis’ is a massive diversion from the money making tobacco industry. Not banning those, hm, can’t think why…

      Edit - I do know that the tobacco industry owns a lot of the disposable ecigs as well
