Vapers are the biggest problem facing Britain today
>It showed that from 2020 to 2024, there has been an increase in vape-related fires from 89 reports in 2020 to 399 in 2024, with the total number of incidents totalling 1,056 across the 39 fire and rescue services.
>This is the equivalent of roughly one vape fire almost every other day since 2020, the study reported.
>In the capital, the London Fire Brigade responded to 41 call-outs due to vape-related fires between 2020 and 2024, making it the seventh highest in the UK.
So about 1 fire a day throughout 2024 – sounds like a fairly big issue. I think they will need a solution beyond telling people to put it in the right bin because I just don’t think they will
The real problem here isn’t vapes it’s that there arent really any easy ways to dispose of batteries. I had a vape a few weeks ago, tore it apart and took out the battery so i could recycle and bin the rest but now i have a battery on my kitchen table i dont know what to do with lol, weird little square thing, would they accept that at a battery recycle point? I don’t even think there are any near where i live.
People are so careless. I get concerned about aerosol deodorants accidentally having the tiniest bit left being thrown away and exploding in a lorry. Probably not even a rational concern, but here people just going wild.
I vape, been using replaceable ones now for about 2 years or so.
Most of the popular brands have a replaceable variant – I never struggle to get my hands on the pods either that do not have a battery in them
Tesco, Sainsbury’s, coop, Morrisons, many corner shops all sell the ones I use
They’re actually better for me as the consumer too, they ‘smoke’ better, the flavours are better, the battery lasts for ages and is USBC – my work laptop charger charges it, as does my PlayStation controller charger and many phones
It’s a no brainer, it’s also massively cheaper than the same brand disposables, and they seem to last longer
A whole recycling centre which was relatively new, and at the cost of several millions, burned down up near Aberdeen because someone threw a disposable vape in the general waste. We also (I worked for the LA at the time) lost a lorry at one point from a similar incident.
