People are lazy and don't want to maintain a vape, which does require some basic maintenance/cleaning.
Never heard about it. My GF vapes and the vape is simply a battery with a charger. The liquid container is exchangeable. You refill it and when it runs out you change it. There's no maintenance. And even if it were true what do I care? We're supposed to contaminate the environment with batteries because some people are inconvenienced by their addiction? As I said, this product is not needed and should be banned.
It's definitely the way to go, and the maintenance is easy. You do need to replace the coil every now and then though FYI.
When I was vaping I had to replace the coils every few weeks and cleaned out the mouthpiece, liquid container and stuff in an ultrasound. Also, I mixed flavor liquid with the nicotine liquid and had to watch out for the right mixing ratios. I'd say that's all a bit involved and a bit much for those that just want a hit of nicotine.
Sure but that's not how it works now. I doesn't really matter how it worked in the past since the single use vapes are sold today.
https://www.vapvapor.es/aspire-avp-pro-recambio - you only have to change this part, that's all the maintainence. Also, smoker's convince is not a reason to throw batteries in the trash.
Vape is very little maintenance. They even came out with disposable atomizer tanks. So I paid like $50~ or so for the battery which you charge with those big batteries they make ebikes & tesla batteries out of.
The tank works for a few weeks and then you buy another one. Much easier than going to store to buy ecigs all the time
