It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The YouTuber BigClive observed through dismantling many so-called disposable vape pens that they tend to have new, high quality, high amp cells, paired with decent or good charge controllers. He posited that this is to prevent them from going bang in people's faces, which would be quite bad.
Around my area, I still find discarded vape pens in bike lanes or road shoulders, so I'm continuing to collect them. Although I never imagined stringing them together into a battery pack for an ebike haha
That's pretty frustrating... that these are made to be disposable, but the majority of the components (apparently, good quality components!) aren't even reclaimed.
Why aren't these sold with a $200 deposit, so the user MUST return them or be SOL?
People in the community used to take pride in our harm reduction methods, rebuilding our own coils/pods for pennies on the dollar, mixing our own liquids in a safe and sanitary manner for pennies on the dollar, using rechargeable 18650 cells with BMS and smart chargers…
Capitalism perverts all things in time.
I've been vaping off and on for over 10 years now, and I'm utterly disgusted by the way so called disposables have become mainstream. Truely capitalism has turned out the most ecologically damaging way to ingest nicotine imaginable.
