Why would a disposable vape have a USB C port?

Long time vaper here, fuck these things. Fucking leds, pcbs, type c ports, lithium batteries, all packed in to a device intended to be entirely disposed of when the juice runs out. So wasteful.

Can usually charge them, they last 1-3 weeks from what I’ve seen

Isn’t the world running out of resources for batteries?

I’m a long term vaper as well but I’m going to be honest I do get the appeal of the disposables. Ludicrous regulation has made proper vapes so ridiculously annoying to use for an average person that it’s no wonder people just turn to the easiest option.
The 2ml tank cap and having to mix your own nicotine are both annoying and impractical. There’s also been a marked decline in the quality of coils and the tanks themselves since that law came into affect, with no actual benefits.
I had to switch to an RDA tank because the terrible coils on offer now were costing me a fortune, I’d gone from using 1 every couple of weeks to having to change them every two days. I’ve tried tons of different tanks and coils but it seems like it’s just a fundamental design flaw, 2ml of juice just isn’t enough to keep the coils wet if you use a decent mod.
RDA tanks are fine if you work from home like I do but it leaks all over my handbag when I go anywhere, so if you don’t work at home it’s just not a good solution.
