Disposable vape mods need to go, spent units still have batteries inside which can cause fire or small explosion in the waste bin.
For other e-waste manufacturers/oem should think if obsolescence still a good thing in the long run.
It's just such a waste of money. I paid like $60 for my last mod and I've had it for around 5 years. No plans to replace it unless it dies.
Box mods are sturdy and cost efficient. My variable wattage bought in '19 still kicking, however my mech mod i bought in '15 lasted 4 years (corrosion sucks)
