My only worry is that once they start regulating things, they’ll fuck up non disposables too somehow. Like they did with the max nicotine level and the tank capacity.
It’s really confusing. I swear they all used to be reusable with refill bottles, then at some point they just changed to disposable.
Honestly, you would think it would be easy to push refillables… like that would sell just fine. My suspicion is, like ink printers, they don’t want people using other liquids.
In the long run the disposable ones work out to be more expensive which means they make more profit.
But it’s hard for the average consumer to notice that because it takes a while to build up the price.
It’s like the difference between paying for a subscription £90 once a year, Vs paying £10 a month, for 12 months.
Obviously you are better off with the £90 option but it feels like a larger amount if you don’t pay attention.
That would be the concern. The “for the children” argument is often how governments open the door; after they establish a precedent (disposables are bad) they can start scaling up to other aspects using the same argument.
“Children are buying vape stuff in pretty colors!” “Children like the pretty vapor!” Etc.
I’ve been vaping for nearly a decade now but I agree with getting rid of these disposables. Totally bad for the environment.
And since these are the ones that teens are said to be using in schools it might kill 2 birds with one stone.

I have a friend in Germany that only buys vape liquid and stuff when he visits the UK because they taxed them to oblivion where he is
