They're only going to be expensive if they're the "premium" option. If reusable is the only option, then these $5 basic reusable vapes I see in google will go into stores everywhere on the same shelves that used to have disposables. They're small too.
The overhead of a charging circuit and a refillable or removable chamber is not much.

I know people who are grown adults who still buy the disposable vapes. You save zero money of course since they charge more than the given amount when you don't have to get the battery. I have no clue why they do it. I think part of it is psychological, like "oh I don't use the vape much I won't get myself an actual battery," then three beers in they are running across the street to the smoke shop for a disposable.
For kids, they're expensive to purchase, expensive to replace when mom/dad take it away, and much harder to conceal from teachers and parents. It's harder to swap flavors and such, too.
Really, the issue is that public officials and police don't care. It took 3-4 years for NYC to start doing something about the thousands of illegal smoke shops.
