     @neko it's because with vape if you get tired you can switch from vaping strawberry shortcake to super veiny cock cum vapor

     @Hyperhidrosis i think a lot of it has to do with the nicotine in those things. I've seen vapers actually shaking to get their next hit its fucking mental. I've never seen a cigarette smoker act like that. I dont smoke but i think you just get a shitty headache like having a ton of coffee and then only get "cravings" that can be entirely ignored depending on how much of a habit you make it

     @waifu @neko "vape juice" contains 95% propylene glycol & glycerin, 5% flavorings, nicotine salts, plus usually an even more toxic surprise; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vape_juice?useskin=monobook#E-cigarette_liquid
     
     Pure nicotine wouldn't atomize and would kill you.

     @waifu @neko @Hyperhidrosis From what I've seen (cringe shitter students buying those things) you can adjust how much nicotine it has

     @neko It's very hard to quit when you're hitting massive doses of an extremely addictive substance every single day.
     
     I guess it would be somewhat like trying to quit heroin.

     @neko @waifu I've watched a kid her addicted to vape in real time during highschool.
     
     His friend bought a vape to school once and let him have a hit. By 3rd hour he was already having cravings begging that nigga for another hit.

     @get @neko @waifu Vapes do not contain any firmware, that it, socketed ROM chips containing microprocessor instructions.
     
     Depending on the vape, it can be a simple circuit, where pressing the button powers a heating coil that atomizes the liquid, or there can be microprocessors that run trivial software that does battery management and shows battery charge on a LCD; https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f2/Ijerph_ecig_construction.jpg
     
     For the latter, the software is proprietary, but the manufacturer doesn't ask you to agree to or sign a proprietary software license or offer updates, nor are most (all?) vapes a computer, so as of 2024, vapes aren't a software freedom issue.
     
     
     There are no free hardware designs for vapes, as generally sane people don't design things that have an extremely high chance of eventually killing you in standard use cases.
