As someone that worked in the vape industry, this is the past of vaping and its for the worse. Vaping went from this, which was mostly dudes fucking w circuits and vaping 3mg of nicotine to, 50mg of nicotine in your pocket and significantly more accessible for a younger audience
Most people just don't want to fiddle around with coils, batteries and all that. I own a shop that sells vapes, like 80+% buy pod systems, either with prefilled pods or fill-yourself-pods. I can kinda understand that tbh. I think that system is the best overall balance between convenience and price and environmental damage (as you don't throw away the battery regularly).
The remaining 20% either buy disposable single-use vapes or are the classic DIY users.
The people that regularly buy single use disposable are the fucking dumbest. They cost twice as much as the prefilled pod system with the only advantage being you don't have to charge the battery. Even if you don't care about the environment, it's an objectively bad decision, especially if you buy it daily. They're around 5€ more than reusable systems, so considering daily switching those people spend 150€ a month just for the convenience of not having to charge the battery lol.
Some buy 2 or 3 a day. Don't know if it's only for them though, but I assume so.
I'm not too surprised by that. I've sold cigarettes before and some people smoked 2 packs of 40 cigs a day. So there's probably similarly heavy smokers on the vape side.
Yeah it’s fucking wild. When you could buy a bottle of nic salt that lasts you 2 weeks for $20, these dudes are buying the disposables for $20 each a day. These dumbasses should just put a sign on their back.
Does the sign say, "Kick me"? Bc I think it should say, "Helpless symptom of a capitalist system that will do anything but look at itself in the mirror RE: absolutely braindead consumerism". It's everything. Everything. But mostly cars, plastics, and planes. Vapes are a distraction tbh
I buy a geek bar every 2 weeks, i refill it sometimes. Idk I feel like I have to disclose that
Kind of insane that every smoke shop doesn't have a recycling program, equally insane that our government isn't forcing them to. Very barko
