@projectgus while looking for the micro documentation I found this explanation for the absurd waste

> It's a combination of legislation and legal loopholes. The very real and justified concern about kids vaping triggered some very bad knee jerk legislation that got us here.
>
> Disposable products are under a lot less regulation and scrutiny than domestic rebuildable vape and e-liquid producers. This was largely to keep products like Juul around. It's a long story and I'm not an expert, but it's a lot more difficult to get components and juice for rebuildable vapes than disposables nowadays. I literally can't order vape juice online anymore (NY) but every smoke shop has a massive catalog of disposables.

> Additionally, disposable vaporizer companies hop around between shell companies constantly to avoid import restrictions and legal scrutiny. Geekbars, elfbars, puffbars etc all come from a handful of producers in Asia that sell to a myriad of shady shell companies that handle the import to the US. Believe me, we'd rather use rebuildable vapes at least at home if they weren't such a pain in the ass.
