      disposable vapes come with built in lithium batteries, while (most) disposable lighters don’t. so there is a very real difference between the two. but disposal lighters are also stupidly wasteful, so it would be nice to ban those as well.

      Lighters last a super long time and they don’t contain batteries which is the real concern.

        Lighters last a super long time

        flashbacks to last 4th of July where we needed to get 4 different disposable lighters before one worked
        Not that the actual lighters are any better, those dry out on their own with no use.

          Hate to be a shill, but were they of the Bic brand or were they shitty knock offs?

            I don’t remember probably about a 50/50, chance. We just get whatevers at the store because we hardly use lighters

      I’ve never seen a “disposable” lighter that didn’t have a gas filling hole.

          You can actually remove it pretty easily. I recall because I removed that shiny metal bit so I could follow a life hack video that allows you to increase the flame size. I’m sure you could take it off and refill it.
