One of my favorite perks from switching to vaporizers is that I am not creating this particular type of plastic waste. People don't seem to realize how much plastic is in a single bic lighter. Dozens of plastic bottles worth of plastic.
Edit: I should've said "several" water bottles not "dozens." I googled the weight of a bic lighter and a bottle and it's probably 2 or 3 water bottles.
Ummm Zippos would like a word with you. Or matches..... Or hemp wick..... Like if that's really your concern there were plenty of options.
They just want to brag about having a vaporizer
Source: I have a vaporizer
I rocked rechargable electronic arc lighter with hemp wick when I still did combustion I believe its a pretty solid combo if youre gonna smoke traditionally. Zippo has electric arc inserts but the cheap no named work okay too.
Burning hemp wick still adds soot and extra carcinogens but its arguably better than inhaling butane.
Vaporizers effectively cut out the need for hemp wick consumption and electric induction heaters paired with something like a dynavap make it so there's no need for butane/gas flame.
Plus vapes don't have all of the carcinogens from burning plant matter
I hadn't considered that, but that should definitely be added to the pro column. Vapor is just significantly easier on the lungs. The original reason I switched to vapor was so I could climb mountains in Washington without stopping for a break every 5 minutes. The difference in lung endurance is massive.
I can't see how it's dozens of bottles worth in that small space. It's mostly empty for the lighter fluid too. Just a bottle cap and bottle threading is a decent amount of plastic. Maybe 2 or 3, sure.
You're right, dozens was an exaggeration. I added an edit to my comment.
