Teens go for dispos because they’re simpler to use and easier to hide. I think dispos are also more appealing for someone who is curious about vaping which could be a kid, or someone who’s trying to quit smoking. Not everyone wants to make a 100$ purchase on their first vape. the regulation needs to be tightened but I really think this will just increase the black market for vapes, unfortunately.

The thing is unlike a few years ago you don't need to spend 100$ for a good refillable vape. There are excellent refillable pod Systems for below 20usd now.

I have the geekvape obelisk U now... they're not super reliable but only 20 bucks, 35 with juice to get started.

That’s just not true… How many people have you spoke to about their reasoning for purchasing disposables? Because I can tell you, from experience, that the answer will almost always be because of the flavor/how the vape hits.

Most popular vapes nowadays aren’t even hard to use either, just fill up a pod and you’re ready to go. In Canada, the STLTH is one of the most popular ones and all it takes is clicking a prefilled pod into the device just like a juul. And in terms of “old-school” vapes, I haven’t seen somebody making their own coils since like 2018 so I don’t think high barriers to entry are keeping people on disposables.

I haven't made my own coils in a while... but I just buy them pre-made for my rda.
