Comment on Where to find empty vapes? I want to harvest a battery

  Out of curiosity, what do you think Berlin’s secret is in this regard? Like do people naturally not litter e-waste, or are there easier recycling options, import restrictions, or enforced litter laws?

    Assuming that you’re living in the US I think the secret is that disposable vapes aren’t as abundant in Germany yet.

      Yeah, I’m hoping to get at why. Drop-shipped disposables took over Juul’s market in the US and then grew it by about 600%. It was so dramatic (in a business sense) that it’d caused ripples in US and UK trade policy, and I just assumed that blitz was happening everywhere.

        It could also be that Berliners are apparently collecting them 😂

        Lots of states made flavored reusable vapes illegal, but flavored disposables are legal. Yes, it is as stupid as it sounds.

      i would guess near night clubs and the like… they’re more likely to use them, and drunk people are more likely to toss them willy nilly…
