People are lazy and don't want to maintain a vape, which does require some basic maintenance/cleaning.
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.
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
