I think the single use thing came from taxation law gaps allowing single use vapew to be taxed a lot lower then reusable ones. Not enterily sure anymore

That's not a tax gap or loop hole. That's intentional, lobbied by tobacco companies, so they can sell us their e-waste.

How does that make the tobacco company more money though? Juuls were cartridge based with reusable batteries and the rise of disposables seemed to actually follow the downfall of Juuls.
