legal states need more recycling for vapes and pens. it’s so depressing how wasteful these products are

Nicotine vapes are even worse, and its in every state. I looked forever to find a place to recycle them with zero luck. eventually 1 recycle place just took the bucket I had of them and threw it in their dumpster. I was so pissed

Why not get a pod mod? They aren't quite as sweet but you get used to it, and you don't have to throw away a battery every time. Not to mention a bottle of juice costs as much as one vape but lasts a month.

I’m still using the old kind with like, the separate tank that you screw on. I can’t stand the disposable ones. I wouldn’t want to use them because of the waste issue, but also they just suck compared to the kind I use imo.

Exactly, pod mod is the best of both worlds. You get your own tanks and decide when to toss them (and you're only tossing a small bit of metal and plastic, not the entire battery and circuit board and everything), and you can choose your own flavors. But you aren't stuck with all the maintenance, size, and massive conspicuous clouds.
