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

It would be so easy to make the cartridge removable with a thread.

I'd imagine they'd end up getting done-in by laws on minimum warranties. Vapers would be happy: "Only works 3 times? Sweet, guess I'll use it and get my money back each time."

(How it would go down in Australia if they tried that.)
