I know disposable vapes are very common in the marijuana industry as well; I’ve been to a handful of dispensaries where they were the only vape product for sale. And frankly in much of America where cannabis is still illegal, using a discreet, disposable vape pen is the safest way to get high (other than when your bootleg Chinese vape kills you 🤣).
Not only that, but federal prohibition on cannabis makes it that much harder to bring alternative products to market, both from an R & D perspective and because marijuana companies can’t use traditional banking systems. It’s a whole industry built on cash. And right now the big money interests in the cannabis industry are largely tobacco companies who don’t have the greatest track record when it comes to making healthy and environmentally friendly products…
There are plenty of reusable vapes on the market that I’ve used (MFLB, Pax, Volcano, Silver Surfer, etc) but I would definitely choose a concentrate vape pen over all of those options if given the choice. It’s just the superior method/form factor and it gets you higher faster. Plus it’s perfect for microdosing.
I agree an outright ban on disposable vapes is a must, but we also need to make new, convenient, reusable liquid concentrate vapes with refills that are widely available, like those that already exist in the tobacco industry.
This was a bit of a tangent from the main discussion. It’s crazy that disposable nicotine vapes are a thing.
Juul was on the right track, with the pods and reusable battery. At least it’s just some plastic getting tossed and not an entire fucking battery. Then the government cracked down on them and here we are

Probably because Altria owns Juul and then lobbied to ban flavors. The red flavor was the best, and I miss it a lot.
