    I don’t understand why people don’t just get mods. It’s cheaper, better quality, controllable, and doesn’t create nearly as much waste.

    I used to go through at least 5 dispos a month at $12-18 each. Now, a $20 bottle of juice can last me at least a month and a half, and coils are like $5 a pop.

      Exactly. Like, we went from those BLU disposables, largely to replaceable mods. But then some time in the past, like, three years it all went backwards to mod-sized disposables. Like…what. Why. There’s no way it’s cheaper for the company.

        Well, after the govt arbitrarily killed the pod system, they needed another easily accessible system to get new customers (see: teens and college kids) on board…

        Mods have a much higher starting cost, which isn’t very appealing to someone who doesn’t already smoke or vape.
