    Disposable vapes are genuinely evil. With the lithium inside the batteries they are significantly more dangerous than throwing a cigarette out your car window. They have chips inside them with metals that can be recycled and they are made of a hard plastic that’ll be around for thousands if years. Whenever I mention this to people I know they agree with me that it’s evil but continue to use disposable vapes because it’s more convenient. I keep telling my roommates that it’s massively cheaper to get a refillable one and they always agree but never buy one. Every time I go to the vape shop to get juice and coils I drop off a literal tub of disposable vapes from my roommates.

    I’m so tired of people being complacent in this and I’m tired of making this rant. People will get nervous about batteries when they see a phone explode in someone’s pocket but they’ll throw that shit on the ground or in the trash without a second thought. Just go back to smoking if you wanna throw shit on the ground. It’s better for the environment and public safety that way anyway.

      Have you seen this shit?

      Factory workers test 1000 of these contraptions per day.

      it’s truly evil.

      Human beings will get extinct due choosing convenience over sustainability.

        Using it to quit smoking is a good idea, and the only one actually.

        But disposable !? FUCK ME this world is doomed…
