Any thoughts on disposables?

I think that disposable kits are a terrible idea. Encouraging people to throw out lithium batteries for them to build up in landfills is horrible. If you must sell disposables, I suggest that you put a deposit on them and included a pre-paid envelope to return it. And perhaps refuse to take further orders until the dead battery is returned.
Actually, there is absolutely no need to use Li-Ion's in the disposals: they could simply use regular alcaline batteries. Furthermore they are preffered due to best one-time capacity.
I've tried a Smoore M8 (M401/Pilot with a disposable battery) and the battery lasted about 2 days. It came with 4 or 5 carts. Crazy thing was, it came with a 401/402 atomizer which I used with my regular 401. I actually liked the atomizer better due to the fact that it had a wider wick (better for dripping). Well back to the topic, I think the main thing would be Price. Give me a disposable that equaled about 1 pack of cigarettes, that I could sell for about $5...I'd sell them all day.
I said lithium because most disposable devices on the market currently use lithium batteries. But regardless of what kind of battery they use, it's a terrible move to be selling disposables. First of all, just by calling it a disposable you are encouraging people to throw out the device instead of recycling the battery, which is encouraging them to violate the law in most parts of the US. So just by calling these "disposables" you are making yourself an accessory to the dumping of toxic materials in most states.
Secondly, since we have the choice we should be minimizing use of single-use batteries by using rechargeable batteries instead that can be used time and time again, thereby saving valuable resources, protecting the environment from being stripped for these resources, and protecting the environment from the all the chemicals from these batteries. I mean, it's not so bad if people would recycle these batteries, but most people don't, labeling them as "disposable" doesn't help.
I suggest that any suppliers who insist on selling these that they sell them as "single-use" devices, rather then "disposables" and as I said before, provide the customer with a pre-paid package to return the device (or just the battery if they want to take it apart). Doing anything less is irresponsible and selfish.
I think going along the 'disposable' route will increase the resistance against e-cigs enourmously...........everybody is getting into save the planet 'green' ideas these days and the potential of millions of e-cigs being thrown away every day will really upset them all.
My first order included several packs of disposables. I used one to replace the pack of unopened cigarettes I carried. I did have occasion to break the seal and use them. Thank God it wasnt my first impression of the e-cigarette. It was a poor substitue for the e-cig and the battery did not get me through three of the five cartridges. By then my car charger had done its job and I was back to my newfound norm. Only in emergency would I recommend using a disposable.
They dont seem cost effective to me at all.
But neither is my Npro if your only doing carts and not refilling them.
Maybe the disposables were a better idea when E cig kits were still expensive.
Havent they dropped alot recently in price though?

depending on quantity you buy from china
The Disposables run anywhere from about $4.5 to $10
Depending on Model, Amount Ordered ect, with the high end of the price range being the disposable cigars.
