    It’s easy.

    It’s closer in spirit to buying a pack of smokes, it’s easy to just grab one on the way somewhere, less of an issue if you lose it or have to toss it(like at some concert venues), easier to give to your friends, and generally they are much smaller, so easier to conceal.

      Maybe I’ve just been lucking out, but every concert venue I’ve been to recently has let me in with my vape. I usually tell the security person I have it on me, and then they tell me it’s fine and pass me through. You’re right though, it would suck to have to toss it.

      I don’t agree with the “smaller” part though. Most of the disposable units I see are thicker and wider than my refillable one, since they need to be long-lasting as a value proposition. I think the main draw is probably pure convenience.

        Definitely pure convenience and flavor.

        Wife bought one (even though we have refillables) and damn if it doesn’t taste really fucking good, hits perfectly without needing to fuck with it.

        Still don’t think we should make it a regular thing because it’s so wasteful
