I wonder what this companies will come up with to replace it. It says single use puffs so maybe the companies will design it to be 2 or 3 use?

I think the single use thing came from taxation law gaps allowing single use vapew to be taxed a lot lower then reusable ones. Not enterily sure anymore

That's not a tax gap or loop hole. That's intentional, lobbied by tobacco companies, so they can sell us their e-waste.
