The rechargeable cells in disposable vapes are so valuable, why are they thrown away after one use?!
In this video I extract 130 disposable vape batteries and convert it into a 1500W ebike battery.

Turning Disposable Vapes into a Fast Charge Power Bank
มุมมอง 2M2 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video I use 35 disposable vape batteries to create a fast charge power bank that can even charge laptops. I am working on building an open source kit to allow everyone to build their own power banks, but I will need a bit more time to make it as simple and as safe as possible. Link to the power bank module: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007227510089.html You will need to modify a resistor...
Haha you legend
Ive been toying around this idea fir a looong tine but i know id blow up the cells lol
This is a great video! You did a great job. can't wait for that powerwall video.
how is the heat build up after extended use? After 300 charges. becomes it a safety issue or lose of capacity? keep up the good work.
mi ego me dice que yo lo puedo construir
You should collab with Tom Stanton to make a vape powered RC plane 😄
you have to stop with your ridiculous inventions! I saw the video of a bicycle battery that caught fire in an elevator and the guy died burned! Will you be there that day when people have an accident because of your idea?
thats their own problem lmao
Can you recycle 18650 batteries to salvage the lithium? I use a big vape mod like a man hah. I'm sick of seeing all the used vapes littering the place. I also use power tools that have 18650s in their battery packs. Also my flashlights run on 18650s. Anyways ive got a pile of 18650s that wont charge. I dont want to throw em away because lithium is a finite resource.
This was really awesome! Great job!
Bike powered vape?
this man will have been last seen in a giant puff of white smoke
What is that usb soldering iron dude? Could really use one of those for the toolkit on gigs.
TS80P, it's definitely my favourite tool
11:57 it will 'guess' the state of charge?! that doesn't inspire much confidence lol
oh my.. i didn't know these things were so wasteful😵😵😵 so much leftover fluid and good quality aluminium! there should be proper recycling for them
Men kender du fasar
3:04 recharching components are need be added too sp idk if its worth it
Bros encouraging us to vape more and make bombs🤣🤣 jk jk
Im curious about more smaller projects to extend the life cycle of these batteries that are less ambitious. Cracked open a battery powered hand warmer and saw that it was basically just two 18650s. That’s a small enough project i think I could do that at home. Can you show us that next? The 300 charge cycle limit on these things scares me to much to want to risk nuking my bike, but a hand warmer is at least an independent device that has usefulness.
A power wall from these kinds og batteries would be very cool
I want to do things like this but im so scared about burning down my house. There is so much contradictory info on the internet about what is and isnt safe 😢
The bodies of the vapes are made out of aluminum? I feel like if you had a forge/crucible you could melt down the vapes and use them for building stuff
Lithium battery’s recycle in the low $0.20 per lbs. (0.45kg). The pcb inside recycles around $0.62 per lbs. Apparently it’s profitable on scale to recycle these things but due to the nicotine. Large company’s don’t want to assume responsibility for “bio-hazard” nicotine. Just called a few smoke shops and none recycle vapes or even knew why I was asking. Just a little fyi if someone wants to start a business.
I think there should be like a government agency, that vape companies are forced to fund, or hell even like a specific sin tax to fund it, that recycles disposable vapes
He was later missing after posting this video.
You sir won the internet.
It’s discarded vapes which cause fires in bin lorries. They get crushed and the lithium comes in contact with moisture and catches fire.
Really nice idea keep going ✌️👍
I love stuff like this, making something out of waste.
Great video, very well done
One of the reasons I like 510 carts over dispo's is how wasteful the dispos are. Too much tech to be just tossing in the bin.
I subscribed for the powerwall 😄 Nice project 👍👍
Defo ur vapes
These vapes really should be banned...
Great idea but no way they last
I started vaping wgen it 1st came out and ot was great your mods were durable you saved money because you built your own coils and stuff like that but what it has turned into is way worse for the environment than what it was originally
I tore apart a couple vapes and found depending on the brand they come with standard 18650 cells. I was thinking they could make a really good bike battery if I collected enough. Amazing that someone actually did it.
300 charge cycle and they get thrown away after 1 use
Will you only be able to charge it less than 300 times (since used) as stated in the datasheet or due to the fact that there has been more than one in it change ?
wow rothreram boy wickersley is it
hard work for less than 300 recharges
Cool
Vape powered rocket ship when?
Amazing follow-up video to the last one. Love your work!
telling my kids to do this at home with no parental supervision with a nuke in the house
Is that a mic inside of a vape? That little circle component 3:01 ?!
Yep, they use microphones as pressure sensors to detect when theyre being puffed. Adds even more to the e-waste....
I have been saving my own disposals and people I know disposables for over a year now for this exact peoject
Sounds like legos when they got thrown
cool
Would you consider dropping the design for the balancing pcb? I’m genuinely interested in doing this and that pcb would be a huge help!
Как же это интересно, спасибо за видео
