I've seen Big Clive's musings on extracting rechargeable cells from these things as well. I've always wanted to give it a try, but somehow the apparently conscientious oiks in my neck of the woods don't seem to litter disposable vapes everywhere so I've never been able to get my hands on any significant quantity of them.
It's astounding that these things are made to just be thrown away. What an absurd amount of waste.
I never understand why they exist. Why would you not want a rechargeable vape?
This is a result of the FDA decimating the entire industry and forcing everyone into disposable products.
99% of the old refillable products and juice were banned putting all those companies out of business.
Not from the US so this sounds a bit weird to me. So they banned the refillable ones but somehow disposables are legal? Weird choice...
Recharging isn't the issue, refilling is. The disposables are designed not to be refilled, so the manufacturer can turn around and sell you another entire one instead.
