Vaping groups have criticised the Scottish Government over their review to ban disposable e-cigs - but they’ve also called on customers to dispose of their products responsibly and in as environmentally friendly a way as possible.
Maybe it should be - but that’s not what I found! I bought a selection of Elf Bar vapes from a shop in Glasgow at a fiver a pop - or £25 for my bundle of six - with 600 puffs per e-cigarette. If, by the way, this all seems like a massive hassle, the Scottish Government says you can recycle whole vapes at a waste recycling centre, sticking it in Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment recycling points.
The battery, wires and wicking material can gently be pushed out with a pencil or pen. You’ll then want to separate the battery by carefully cutting each wire one at a time - I used a little pair of scissors.
