Comment on Lithium-ion battery waste fires are increasing, and vapes are a big part of it
jarfil@beehaw.org 2 weeks agoCan you elaborate in detail on what makes it “toy shaped?”
If you didn’t get the memo about marketing targeting, there are courses for that. You can drop the sarcasm.

How convenient that none of the manufacturer or product names are listed for any of these devices except the “Moti Pop” which appears to be a black market disposable from China. It’s almost as if someone just either fabricated a bunch of items or cherry picked a bunch of already illegal devices in order to push the FUD angle. Can you provide any listings or images showing that any of these were ever sold in a vape shop anywhere in the western world because I’ve been vaping for 13 years now and have never once seen anything even remotely resembling anything like these sold in any store. It’s just more bullshit propaganda.

You call it “bullshit propaganda”, because you haven’t seen black market disposables from China advertised at you local vape shop? Have you considered that, maybe, you haven’t seen them… precisely because they were stopped at customs?
No, I’m not even going to look for a SKU listing, just for your dismissal. Go believe it’s FUD if that makes you happier. Ask your government agencies to lift all bans, for extra un-FUDding.

You aren’t going to look for them because you just grabbed whatever image you found from a Google search and have no clue what you’re even talking about.
If these even exist, the only reason why a black market would exist for vapes is because of the idiotic bans that created it by killing the legitimate market further proving my point. Furthermore your argument that they’re “stopped at customs” contradicts your previous argument that they’re being marketed and sold to kids since they aren’t being sold at all.

A random Google search would find you these articles:

I’m not going to discuss recent history revisionism, circular argumentation, or the illusion that your country is the only one in the world. Have fun!
