Big vape firms launched a range of reusable models that are very similar to the most popular disposable vapes and sold at similar prices.
By adding a replaceable nicotine pod and a USB recharging port, they can be sold as reusable, but Mr Wright suspects many are still being thrown away.
Well that totally couldnt have been predicted...?
Most of the corner shops I've been to don't even sell the refills, just the devices.
They need to jack up prices on the latter, and maybe enforce a rule requiring nicotine refills to be sold separately from devices
I suspect the device will last about as long as one or two refills anyway. This would be why they're so cheap compared to the older ones.
"Duh." Says anyone who's ever bought drugs.
Frankly, I'm kind of surprised that people use disposable vapes. It doesn't seem like it buys them much relative to using a reusable one. It's gonna cost more over time. I don't believe that they require maintenance.
I mean I'm with you, I use refillable ones and brew my own juice, but often convenience outweighs everything else for most people.
What do you mean prohibition never works?
That's not what's happening here. Read the article.
