Even worse, at least for Washington State disposable cannabis vapes, is that they have USB-C ports, recharge, and use the same 510 format ceramic vaporizer cylinders as the lower-impact disposable cartridges for reusable batteries, but everything is unthreaded and glued together and it’s marked as disposable. It’s absolutely insane to me that a device with an 80mAh battery, USB-C port, and recharging circuit would be sold like it was the equivalent of a soda can.
All they have to do is put a 510 thread into the vape, and it could be reused dozens of times, but they want to keep you buying the marked-up disposables.
They are pretty convenient for smoking discretely, but whenever I buy one I end up mining the battery and recharge circuit out of it, and either using it in a project, or chuck the whole thing in the e-waste bin at my office in hopes that it will get shipped somewhere better than a landfill.
