    Price.

    That is what they do better.

    Many many MANY people would sooner buy something for 5 dollars 20 times then something for $100 once whether financial necessity or not feeling guilty for buying the super expensive thing.

      Not to mention people being too lazy to want to do even basic maintenance. Also companies that prefer to sell something people need to keep buying over and over might not offer a longer term version.

      Not vaping or even disposable, but my manscaped face trimmer, which is supposedly a higher end one, was the first electric trimmer I’ve gotten that didn’t come with a little bottle of lube and the instructions even said “you don’t need to lube this!” Knowing that they hadn’t changed the laws of physics, I lubed it anyways and I’m convinced that’s the only reason it hasn’t permanently seized up by now because even with the lube and a full charge, there have been times where it didn’t want to start going without a good tap after turning it on.

      IMO it’s quality for the price more than just price, I’ve bought and used so many brands of refillable pods/tank mods and they always have quality problems that just don’t happen with the disposables. For anyone that’s experienced them, all I have to say is e-juice leakage.
