This is why I hate disposables. There is a ton of waste around them between the plastic and circuitry and battery.

Granted, pre-filled atomizers are only marginally better, unless they start selling recreational vape juice and people start dripping pot. The convenience of a vaporizer just can’t be beat though. Near instant action and clothes don’t reek.
