Vapes, chargers, and other “invisible” e-waste are a 9-million-ton problem.::Chargers, vapes, and other small electronics make up millions of tons of “invisible” e-waste each year. Recycling them could recover billions of dollars worth of precious materials.

    Pretty much the same thing happened to me. Breaks were boring and a friend had vapes with him that had a pretty high amount of nicotine, so I tried it and it felt pretty good and made the break less boring. Did it more often as time went by until I was basically vaping on every break and I got addicted. Since I also smoke weed, I was also less opposed to smoking in general. It kinda lowers your “barrier of entry”, so to say, when you’re already smoking something else regularly.

    I bought a refillable vape after a while tho because I felt really bad buying all these disposable vapes that create a lot of unnecessary waste and because it’s a lot cheaper.

    Btw for anyone who wants to switch to a refillable vape, the Vaporesso XROS 3 Mini is great, it’s basically like a disposable vape that you can refill. It’s small and fits in your pocket, you can switch coils by just switching the pod on the top and there’s no need buttons.
