This situation with disposable vapes containing batteries is getting to the point where the government needs to step in an create some regulations.
- ThrowawayTestr 2y agoMy government has done everything but ban displayable ecigs. The tax on juice now exceeds the original cost.
- arp242 2y agoUK and Ireland will ban them starting next year. Not sure about other European countries off-hand.
- BizarroLand 2y agoI would prefer that they made it so that the batteries had to be removable by design, similar to AAA batteries. That would expand the market and decrease the waste.
- stavros 2y agoWhy make only the batteries removable? Why not the fluid and resistor as well? At which point you've banned single-use vapes and only have reusable ones.
- ElevenLathe 2y agoThis seems pretty reasonable.
- notjulianjaynes 2y agoFrom the article I'm getting that the problem is reusable vapes are subject to different FDA regulations, and "disposable" vapes are basically a loophole, at least in the US.
- wildzzz 2y agoProbably because, initially, disposable vapes were only made by the big tobacco companies.
- BizarroLand 2y agoStandardization can breed innovation. Ubiquitous small high density power rechargeable batteries flooding the market could make for quite a few fun toys.
- stuaxo 2y agoI think that's what the UK regs will do.
