To think disposable vapes should be banned?

Environmentally they are terrible and people all too often just chuck them on the floor.
they have lithium ion batteries which are usually for rechargeable devices and such a waste and terrible for the environment having those harmful chemicals just chucked in bins by the thousands every day. I see them smashed up on the floor all the time where I live and I can't help but think they shouldn't be allowed to sell something like that as disposable.

To get a decent hit of flavour & vapour you need one with larger size coils, mine are over 1cm wide & 1.5cm deep, you may find that multi chamber coils work better for you, I use Freemax Mesh pro tank & coils & a 510 drip tip, I also use .15 ohm coils which mean I can lower the wattage on my mod.

That kind of illustrates why it was hard to find a refillable one I could get on with, like, no offence at all meant, but I only understood half those words and the ones I do understand it’s because I’ve been reading up.

Disposables are accessible - I didn’t need to know anything, I can go to a shop I’d be in for other things anyway and just point 🤣

Which is also what makes them an issue I suppose.

But, most refillable systems are too complicated and the simpler ones I tried are not great...

I’ve ended up with an elf bar pod one, which works out no cheaper than disposables anyway, saving a few more pounds when it’s already £10 cheaper than a packet of cigarettes isn’t much of an incentive tbh.
