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

JOE.co.uk - People vow never to buy disposable vapes again after seeing how they’re created

@birnim
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.

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

Also... This line via #9news makes it sound like kids are just putting whole #vapepen s in their mouth and swallowing.

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

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

A rare find outside the gates of a school - disposable vape device with a non-cylindrical battery. Of the 100+ single-use vape pens I've found discarded on the side of streets over the past year, the vast majority had rechargeable cylindrical batteries

Wonder who dropped it. Teacher, parent, or child

I'm afraid that I won't be able to salvage these lithium batteries I found in the street while walking back from town
