Disposable Vape

A disposable integrates oil and battery into one sealed unit — zero setup, no charging hardware to own, and often a lower entry price than a cart-plus-battery pairing. The trade-offs: cost per gram of oil typically runs higher across repeat purchases, a dead battery strands remaining oil (many now recharge via USB-C, worth checking), and e-waste is real. Verification rules match carts: finished-product COA for the oil inside. Category note stated plainly — intoxicating hemp disposables are inside the scope of the federal ban effective December 11, 2026; hardware for dry herb is not.
