While the lithium-ion batteries in disposable electronic cigarettes are discarded after a single use, they can continue to perform at high capacity for hundreds of cycles, according to a study published December 12 in the journal Joule.
Never heard about it. My GF vapes and the vape is simply a battery with a charger. The liquid container is exchangeable. You refill it and when it runs out you change it. There’s no maintenance. And even if it were true what do I care? We’re supposed to contaminate the environment with batteries because some people are inconvenienced by their addiction? As I said, this product is not needed and should be banned.
You need to exchange coils or at least wick, they gum up (depending on juice sooner or later, especially sweeteners are like pure gunk), batteries also occasionally need replacement.
But yeah a battery mod with a rebuildable tank goes through, what, a tenth of a gram of cotton a week, and maybe 50cm of wire in case you manage to break the coil(s) while pulling out the wick or burning it clean.
When I was vaping I had to replace the coils every few weeks and cleaned out the mouthpiece, liquid container and stuff in an ultrasound. Also, I mixed flavor liquid with the nicotine liquid and had to watch out for the right mixing ratios.
I’d say that’s all a bit involved and a bit much for those that just want a hit of nicotine.
I vape a Vapresso Swag PX and it has a refillable tank that uses what are called GTX coils. Eventually, usually after a week or so of vaping, the coil starts to “spit” and make crackling sounds, plus the flavor starts to not be so nice. You just eject the cool and pop in a new one. The tank itself is not replaced.

It’s definitely the way to go, and the maintenance is easy. You do need to replace the coil every now and then though FYI.

Sure but that’s not how it works now. I doesn’t really matter how it worked in the past since the single use vapes are sold today.
