The latest figure says five million disposable vapes are discarded every week in the UK, that’s the plastic and lithium batteries that power them just tossed out without a thought. Judging by what I see out walking I’d say the majority are just tossed in the streets, park or anywhere else rather than recycled. I saw two boys no more than eleven sharing one at a bus stop a few weeks ago, I told them that rather than looking cool they looked like fxxing idiots but I doubt it sank in. They need to be banned immediately imo.
@Birddog66 I agree, I'm always finding them when litter picking. Only the Chinese could make a disposable product with a lithium battery, what a real waste of precious resources. I disassembled a few I picked up when litter picking to recycle the casing & battery.

I hate them!

Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Loose Cut in the usual morning cob today.

Today's pipe project is comparing Mac Baren's Vanilla Flake and Vanilla Cream Loose Cut, and what I'm finding is that they have the same flavor profile but the flake version is just a little stronger in taste. It's not a huge difference, but both the vanilla topping and the Virginia tobacco flavors just seem a little more pronounced in the flake version and are a bit more consistent and cohesive throughout the bowl. I think I'll be keeping the flake version in my rotation but the loose cut will be going down onto the shelf for tobaccos to sell or trade at some point.
