> less-evil competition like vaping

You mean the e-waste generating companies that actively target children with their highly addictive products?

Maybe disposable vapes, but I've had the same refillable mod for a few years now. The "puff" counter is stuck at 99999. No waste except for the plastic bottle I buy the liquid in that lasts about 6 months.

Based on my local park, people like you are the exception. Recently I've been picking up the rechargeable ones with digital displays to tell you how full the battery is. I have dozens of them. I stopped collecting them because I have enough to build lots of little projects. It is so fucking wasteful.

I guess you can't stop people from being wasteful, but a device intended for continuous use is still much better from an environmental perspective than one made to be disposable.

Thanks for the anecdote though, that is interesting.
