Disposable vapes are a nice convenience for us nicotine addicts, but somebody should really start a recycling program to recover and recycle all these lithium batteries that get thrown away.

Definitely

Almost every dump in the US already does this. (Battery disposal/ recycling)

You're just too lazy to save them up and drop them off yourself.

And I don't want to pay one more red cent in taxes to make up for that fact.

People usually don't go out of their way to do anything without incentive. That's why in some states you pay an extra $0.05 for your can of soda and get it back if you recycle it.

Statist gonna state.

Don't use them. Get a proper "fog machine", start mixing your own liquids and making your own coils. Create a great hobby from the habit, it's a wonderful new world. πŸ€™πŸ’œ

I've made my own juice before. The flavors I mixed up were never that great though. Too lazy to make coils. My big vape I only carry around in the winter time when I have a big coat pocket to put it in.

Are you serious? Isn't that an incredible amount of wasted batteries?

They're tiny batteries. The battery is probably about $4 of the cost of the device. But you use it and recharge it for a week or so and then just toss it in the trash when you've gone through all the fluid.

I use little rechargeable ones like the vapresso Xros mini - no flavor juice- just nic salt and PG/VG- change coil often

Those are good little devices
