Expecting this to happen in London this summer, in dustbin vans (garbage trucks) and in public bins e.g. in city parks. Lithium batteries from disposable nicotine vapes (elf bar is one brand) are absolutely everywhere and have been since the autumn.
- blairbeckwith 4y agoI largely quit vaping right before the rise of disposable vape pens and it is mindblowing to me that they were allowed – by any group including the manufacturers, governments, even consumers – to become a thing. They seem from the outside to be significantly more expensive to produce, tons more e-waste, and not much more convenient than pod systems.
- abawany 4y agobigclivedotcom had a video on yt where he started collecting these disposable vapes off the street and salvaging the batteries for his projects. It was sad to see that so many of these 'disposable' products are thrown away by many without any care.
