    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)

      Yeah no Chinese ever shoved cancer in the face of consumers for money! Let's trust capitalism on this one.

        Holy raging badgerfuck, you’re comparing an object deliberately designed to contain sperm with lithium fucking batteries contained in vapes. Not dildos, fucking vapes. You could’ve compared batteries to used fucking drinking straws, but decided to zero in on used condoms, instead. That’s stupefyingly fucking weird.

        Do you actually fucking believe their hands are drenched with body fluids after harvesting the batteries? Do you think all vapes are just completely covered with spit and semen?

        Jesus fucking christ, is there any part of your fucking brain that has any connection to sense, any at all?

        You. Have. To. Touch. Them. To. Open. Them. To. Get. To. The. Dollar. Store. Battery.

        What is the difficulty here?

        I don't see plastic straws on the ground anymore since they've been banned, paper straws on the ground are not a problem.

        I think I see why you're grasping at straws, however.

        Picking up disgusting items that have been in people's mouths to harvest cheap batteries is fucking weird.

          The dude is right.

          Cigarettes are pure cancer, we all know that.

          But replacing them with disposable chinese manufactured cancer plastics and batteries that also give you cancer and additional forms of cancer and are a thousand times heavier on the environment to produce is just peak late stage capitalism in a fucking nutshell.

            The concept of people working in recycling plants must cause you no end of existential horror. They touch all manner of things that have had contact with all manner of nasty shit, and those people do just fine.

            Know how? Gloves. PPE. I’m pretty fucking sure the person recycling vape batteries, at the very least, considered this, and is even likely using PPE. How this simple and obvious concept has seemingly avoided your thought processes entirely is baffling, but not my problem.

            Your apparent mysophobia does not make the modest recycling efforts of others fucking weird just because you’re disgusted by it. Stop assuming the very worst of a situation and stop being fucking weird.

              You have to sort of, I don't know, come into contact with the stupid device that has been in people's mouths first.

              Are you people being intentionally dense like neutronium this Sunday morning?

                Do you recycle condoms you find on the ground too? Vapes are probably the most disgusting thing recently invented.

                  I swapped off vapes back to American Spirits after finding this study lol.

                  Marlboro reds are really tasty, but i know they're horrible for you as far as cigarettes go.

                    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.

                      Yes, the demon of leaving disposable biological e-waste on the ground.
