Found my first #StreetLithium in a long time (since the Quebec ban on flavoured vapes). This one has a large screen(!) (FP-144HSV03B on the flex connector) and a rechargeable 1000 mAh LiPo (but not refillable). The PCB is partially coated (nail polish?) making the chips hard to read, but the processor is a CMS32L032 ARM M0+. One of the other chips must be the flash, and the test points are exposed.

Continuing the theme of surprisingly sophisticated electronics in disposable #vape devices, this PCB has not one monochromatic LED, but 6 RGB LEDs!
Each inhalation is a multicolour celebration

Continuing the theme of disposable #vapes disguised as beverages, these take the shape of sports water bottles. Each has a USB-C port for recharging the 600mAh #lithiumPolymer battery.
There is an inner shell protecting the battery so it is undamaged despite the case being cracked open by force -- likely stomped on or run over by car. But likely suffered internal damage from a very brutal recharging regime.
Also finding loose lithium polymer batteries discarded in the grass
New Policy Podcast!
This week, I talk to Laura Young about her campaign to ban disposable vapes.
