I’ve seen Big Clive’s musings on extracting rechargeable cells from these things as well. I’ve always wanted to give it a try, but somehow the apparently conscientious oiks in my neck of the woods don’t seem to litter disposable vapes everywhere so I’ve never been able to get my hands on any significant quantity of them.
It’s astounding that these things are made to just be thrown away. What an absurd amount of waste.
I vape and I think these disposable vapes are an obscene waste that should not exist. Just get a decent mod, it’s cheaper in the long run anyway
Literally I’ve only ever seen 1 as litter in my neck of the woods and it was totalled when I found it
It’s been years since those things were normalized how have I only seen 1‽
I mean good job folks but damn
I agree. I try to save them when I can, I’ve gathered quite a few. Luckily, extracting the lithium cells is quite easy. I even have a model with a screen on it (the e waste is crazy) that I’m planning to hopefully salvage the screen off of.
I never understand why they exist. Why would you not want a rechargeable vape?
Recharging isn’t the issue, refilling is. The disposables are designed not to be refilled, so the manufacturer can turn around and sell you another entire one instead.
@GrayBackgroundMusic glad to see this video already made it to the fedi. I def need to build one of these
