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

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 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

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

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.

Whether or not these disposable #vape devices get banned, the astonishing level of #shrinkflation that is bordering on scam territory, should be sufficient reason to stop buying these single-use #VapePens

The 550mAh #lithiumPolymer #battery (date code 221101) was found in a discarded Elfbar 600 from earlier this year.

The 360mAh battery (date code 230417) from an Elfbar 600 I picked up from the side of a road today
