      The worst part about disposables (besides the pollution part) is the scam that they are. They usually run between $12 to $20. They aren’t worth a fraction of that. Hell, juice by itself is a scam.

      I’ve been making my own juice for a couple years and putting it in a refillable. I spent about $250 3 years ago to begin making my own juice. I still have those same original ingredients. 1 liter of nicotine liquid and a liter of cutting liquid (PG). I have syringes and bottles and all that shit. Im hellishly addicted to nicotine and chain vape all day (work from home makes it easy). $250 has given me over 3 years of vape juice.

      An average bottle of juice costs about $20 from a shop. Those are worth $3 at the absolute most. Ejuice is dirt fucking cheap to make and replaceable coils are cheap. A pack of 4 coils costs me $20 and lasts about 5 months. 5 months of a refillable is the cost of 1 disposable. The fact that disposables are popular enough to have vending machines is beyond me. Its a bigger scam than movie theater snacks and people are just okay with it. Yeah, you shouldn’t vape ideally but if you’re going to, don’t get willingly ripped off.

          I know I should. I’ve known for a long time. My girlfriends new years resolution is to get in better shape and I told her I’d do it with her to keep her accountable. I might use that as an opportunity to try and kick it myself. Cant get in good cardio if my lungs are fucked. But thats easier said than done. We shall see how it goes.

          at least he’s vaping and not smoking, so he’s already decreased his risk by 95% at the least.

          vaping is also easier to quit than cigarettes because each bottle of juice you make you can add less and less nicotine until finally you’re at zero and you didn’t even have to deal with any withdrawals.

            Doing neither is better than both. And vaping isn’t harmless like the industry wants you to believe. The same shit was said about smoking.l
