    so much unnecessary plastic that goes straight into the bin.

    They are technically WEEE and should be recycled. Apparently the shops which sell them are supposed to take them back for recycling - I wonder if any do! Or maybe they resent anybody who brings them back for disposal.

      I returned it to the supermarket and the checkout lady put it straight in the normal bin in front of me! I was referring to the packaging more though - a box, a leaflet, a sealed plastic bag thingy, plastic labels that have to be removed, a little plastic stopper for the mouth piece. You’re meant to get 600 puffs per vape but every one I tried died after 2 days. That’s a huge amount of waste compared to the one bottle of juice I recycle each month and the coil I throw out every two-three months.
