It’s insanity. Rechargeable batteries were the default. You could switch out for a better battery. The whole vape scene looked to be a big win for decreasing smoking and reducing costs.

Then big tobacco and the government got involved.

It’s literally buying rechargeable batteries and throwing them away after the first use. (Yes, I have also yelled at someone when they did that with some AA Eneloops 🙄).

As an aside, I don’t smoke or vape, but had an interest in batteries, and some of the info that would come from some of the vape sites was fantastic.
