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. Still has a voltage of 3.7V
I wonder how many times it was recharged before becoming street #litter

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

Vapers on Reddit noticed the blatant #shrinkflation in Elfbar #vapePens and Lost Mary disposable #vapes months ago

I wonder if this why I have been finding more discarded Crystal brands than Elfbars recently

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.

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

@bornach
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.

Very addicting this #vape device habit of mine.

I cannot seem to stop myself taking apart single-use "disposable" #ecigarette vaping pens that I find discarded in the streets in order to salvage the components, namely the rechargeable #LithiumPolymer batteries that they use, in most cases only once.

Tossed many non-viable ones into the battery recycling bins

And I still have a backlog of 24 more pens to disassemble!
