What’s even more outrageous is the amount of one-time-use battery vapes that are being sold and are obviously not recycled properly but end up in nature or, at best, in landfills. I don’t get how this is still allowed…
I feel bad when I throw away my empty carts. I wish there was a way to recycle them, maybe bring them to a dispensary that does so, or make a new thing for them at the recycle yard.
Edit: I didn't know there were reusable ones. It's not like they're advertised everywhere. At least I've never seen any at any dispo I've gone to. 🤷♂️
Man, it'd be great if capitalists didn't try to capitalize on everything and make everything single use so you have to buy more.
Yeah, buy a reusable one, whats the fkin problem with this??
Reusable cartridge? I didn't know they made those, because no one talks about them ever. Except here, apparently.
I have a battery that I reuse all the time, if that's what you're talking about.
You've been missing out. Customizable vapes allow for flavor and nicotine customizations as well. I weened myself off of the nicotine some years ago, but I do still occasionally take a poof of the melon mix that I like.
The part that's wild to me is people who have the option to never touch the addictive agent of smoking still opt into it for some strange reason.
I don't vape nicotine or just for vaping's sake, lol.
Those are the vape cartridges I'm talking about. Although I have heard of people distilling their own oil, so I'm sure it's all who you know.

I thought you were talking about disposable vapes, if not, apologies.
All good. I call those little all-in-one things "vapes" and just the cartridges "carts" so I can see where it gets confusing.
That said, I really wish there was a way to properly recycle those spent/empty cartridges.
