- jsheard 2y agoI mean, vape nerds had this figured out years ago with designs that used standardized 18650 or similar cells in bodies that were designed to be user serviceable. We went backwards from there with the shift towards vapes with rechargable but non-replacable batteries, and then to batteries that can't even be recharged.
- schwartzworld 2y agoThat's fair. I used the thing I linked during that time period, but for casual vapers disposables have a legitimate place. I can't keep a whole vape system in the house or I'll use them constantly, but when my friends are smoking cigars, I like having a vape. The battery is the most environmentally detrimental part, but it's also the least necessary, since usb power sources are everywhere.
