In the words of Alan Partridge… “they re-badged it you fool!”. It’s the same thing as disposables pretty much.
Some do. I swapped to reusable a long time ago. I can’t afford 10 quid a day on vaping.
Almost entirely bloody predictable…
Altho I thought that our (vaping) youth were supposed to be more environmentally aware?!?
The wife vapes, some of the shops dont stock/never have stock the refils, she has to buy a new one each time at our local onestop.
The law is poorly written, in a lot of cases manufacturers have just added a USB-C port to existing disposable designs which have no mechanism to refill them meaning they’re still disposable.
We need higher penalties for litering generally. This country is a fucking pit.
I can see the govt adding a (higher) duty to vapes if this keeps happening to reduce people throwing them away on the streets.
Can we just ban vaping altogether? The stores are a blight on the high street, and I hate the smell of vape.
There should be a deductible. If you return your old vape, they should pay you back £1.
My partner used to get the disposable ones. Now she gets the same ones but the company put a charging port on the bottom
Pointless, because there’s no way to add more juice, but I guess it’s a loophole to get around them being reusable
Yes we said this is exactly what would happen all the way up to this law coming in
We were told “No they will have to be refillable, No people won’t want to waste money, it will make them more expensive and healthier, don’t you want to save the kids?”
The government are absolutely out of touch morons, making one terrible mistake after another
Not related to the post strictly but I’m curious.
3 years ago I was in London, and in one of the big supermarket stores they sold a £1 “hit” of battery for your phone. Tiny little thing which looked like a lithium-ion pouch, contained 1000 mAh which would charge your phone maybe 15%. There was probably a thousand of these in a bin for sale.
Are there lots of fires in garbage trucks/recycling plants/bins?
I gave up smoking a few months ago and bizarrely I get the VEEV (made by Philip Morris of Marlboro fame/infamy but the pod isn’t reusable and pretty much just the same as those one use thingies that you used to see everywhere on the streets. I mean I get through a packet of 2 a month but it’s just exactly the same crap, just loopholed in. I get rid of mine as responsibly as possible but I have a strange feeling that they are all going into landfill anyway, like most of my recycling at my apartment block does (seen it happen several times with our recycling bins; glass/carboard & paper and cans/tins getting all put in the same truck straight to landfill).
Can only do MY best at the end of the day though so 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Overheard yesterday in the local Coop:
‘What disposable vapes have you got?’
‘Well, they’re not called disposable, but they’re the equivalent version and the same price’. Watermelon, menthol crystal, blue raspberry…’
‘I’ll take 2 watermelon then please’.
Of course disposables haven’t been banned. They’ve just been redesigned.
