They talked about vaping as a concept. Like an RTA tank attached to a box mod. These single use vapes ruined the good rep of ecigs
I'm still rocking a $15 kato hammer clone I bought in 2014... "Box mod" made me laugh a little, I remember the MVP being the new hotness because it wasn't round :)
My first vape ever was a joye e-roll. I would absolutely not have switched over as easily as I did if the two options were convenient little cigarettes or a big honking 18650 mod. E-roll wasn't exactly a disposable, but that tiny little form factor was a big deal... a really big deal... it's what allowed me to switch.
Which is all to say that I have zero interest in disposables, same way I have zero interest in training wheels on a bicycle, but they aren't entirely without value.
