🚭 Please boost if you want @EU_Commission to start discussing a #ban of #disposable #ecigarette

#vaping single use e-cig is becoming a real issue among young people, it increases #ewaste and does harm nature by releasing harmful substances.

#waste #cigarettes #vape #ecigs #green #ForNature #OceanEU

An explosion in vaping rates among kids is prompting Europe to rethink its approach to regulation.

The no. of 11-17 year olds who have ever used an e-cigarette has quadrupled in the UK since 2013; more than half of 17-year-olds in France have tried a vape; and the percentage of 11-17 year olds who have used an e-cigarette in the past month has doubled in Italy since 2014 and increased significantly in Latvia and Romania.

Haven't seen a single-use #vape device in this form factor before. Found discarded in the grass along the side of a public footpath

Internal #LithiumPolymer battery is rechargeable via USB-C but the tank is not refillable. It has a voltage of 3.7V

#Juul seeks #UnitedStates authorization for new #eCigarette

Juul Labs said on Wednesday it was seeking U.S. authorization for a new e-cigarette that has age-verification capabilities and prevents the use of unauthorized refill cartridges.

The vaporizer, which has a unique Pod ID chip to prevent the use of counterfeit cartridges and an app to restrict underage access, is already on sale in #Britain after its launch in 2021 as #JUUL2 System.

Lipoly battery in this crushed Packman branded vape device was fully charged when I found it in a carpark last night

There is a USB-C port for recharging. The atomizer tank was already missing so cannot tell if it was intended to be refillable. Judging from the vape brand's website it was probably disposable

Likewise vapers wouldn't want to put into their mouths something that was touched by a random stranger

We need a video of a worker at one of these #vapepen factories wiping his butt with a disposable #ecigarette to go viral

Found all these disposable #Vape devices by just walking into town and back today. Passed by a few that were little more than shattered remains in the road. Even the run overs might still have salvageable electronics -- the pressure sensor can be repurposed as a capacitive touch switch

At this rate I'll easily exceed the number I found last year.

And now Becky Stern has joined the disposable #vape #lithiumPolymer #battery salvaging club

Although she hasn't yet suggested anything about what to do with the pressure sensing (aka capacitive touch) switches.

#eCigarette #litter

That pressure sensing capsule found in most disposable #vape pens can very easily be turned into a #touchSensitive switch that is capable of switching currents high enough to activate small relays and solenoids

Simply slice the top off, exposing the the edges of the inner and outer conductive cylindrical walls. Bridging the two walls with something no more conductive than human skin is sufficient to trigger it

Look at how small the #lithiumPolymer battery is in relation to the size of the disposable #VapePen
1.48Wh (400mAh 3.7V)

Might be useful should I need to replace another battery in some wireless device, assuming I can recharge it - voltage is reading very low 1.2V

Didn't see any #VapePens over Easter vacation then suddenly found 7 in the last few days. Is it because their users (kids and parents) have returned from holidays? Or is it coincidental? - the council has just cut the grass where some of these might have been hiding.

Oh no! Free #lithiumPolymer batteries appearing in the wild in Canada too!

Haven't seen either of those in the UK not even under a different brand name. [pileofstuff] measured 4V on the battery from the rechargeable #eCigarette, 3.3V on the non-rechargeable #VapePen

Data from two longitudinal cohort studies provide evidence that #ecigarette use among early adolescent #smokers in the 🇬🇧 and 🇺🇸 leads to higher risk of smoking 🚬 and more frequent tobacco cigarette use later in adolescence https://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/early/2023/03/20/tc-2022-057717
