    Teens go for dispos because they’re simpler to use and easier to hide. I think dispos are also more appealing for someone who is curious about vaping which could be a kid, or someone who’s trying to quit smoking. Not everyone wants to make a 100$ purchase on their first vape. the regulation needs to be tightened but I really think this will just increase the black market for vapes, unfortunately.

      The thing is unlike a few years ago you don’t need to spend 100$ for a good refillable vape. There are excellent refillable pod Systems for below 20usd now.

        I’ve been using a nespresso for 3 years that cost me $35. Disposables are so much more expensive in the long run. It costs me maybe $25 a month for coils and juice compared to maybe $20 a week in disposables.

      That’s just not true… How many people have you spoke to about their reasoning for purchasing disposables? Because I can tell you, from experience, that the answer will almost always be because of the flavor/how the vape hits.

      Most popular vapes nowadays aren’t even hard to use either, just fill up a pod and you’re ready to go. In Canada, the STLTH is one of the most popular ones and all it takes is clicking a prefilled pod into the device just like a juul. And in terms of “old-school” vapes, I haven’t seen somebody making their own coils since like 2018 so I don’t think high barriers to entry are keeping people on disposables.
