    Should be banned everywhere smh. It’s crazy that people are just chucking lithium into the garbage for no reason…when vapes started as an easily reusable setup in the firth place.

      I remember in the beginning using flashlight batteries, rebuildable atomizers and local house made juices. Im off the nicotine totally now but the scenes changed so much since then, not in the greatest of ways either.

        Gov’ts in my area keep ranting about how many kids are vaping, forgetting that they set it up that way by banning RTAs/RDAs and only selling disposables.

        How dumb must you be to do that, and throw your hands in the air while yelling “We don’t understand why!”

    Disposable vapes have to be a thousand times worse than k-cups.

    I was floored when one of my coworkers was showing off his vape that played games and stuff and said he went through one a week.

    I buy disposable vapes occasionally because my reusable one uses pure crystallized THC and it’s giving me a bad cough

              I have about a dozen RTAs and when one starts burning my throat it gets torn down, coils heated to burn off the accumulated crap, screens and o-rings removed and cleaned/dried, and new cotton put into it.

              I also still have a roll or two of wire for when I’m going to eventually run out of pre-made coils.

              Take care of your mod and it will take care of you.

              Giving it a once over with a soapey sponge to get the gunk from what you just made off while it’s still hot is fair game.

              Make sure to rinse/dry it immediately, put it back on the burner while its still hot. Rub in a small amount of olive oil into the surface w/ a paper towel while still warm on the burner, then let them cool together.

              I’m garbage at cooking, but that’s how ma taught me to take care of them, and shes very much not garbage at cooking.
