Beg to differ what? The pod is pretty much the whole vape and combined with a reusable vape costs often even more than a disposable vape.

Look, I’m not arguing that vaping is bad for the environment or even that disposable vapes are better or worse than reusable. Just providing context why some people go for a disposable rather than reusable.

In addition to what I already mentioned, the quality of e liquids is different in what you get in disposable vapes and refillable - you will never get the same strong taste in a refillable vape due to a number of factors. That in addition to the high cost and low quality of replacement parts is why many people don’t go for reusable vapes.

I literally had two reusable vapes and switches back to disposable ones.

You need to replace the main parts almost as often as with a disposable vape. The only really different thing is that the battery is rechargeable.
