To survive on the streets you need to able to strip a disposable vape down in under 10 seconds or risk discovery #streetLithium #gutterLipo #vape #vaping

Found a new vape on my commute home last night. A reusable one this time. Usb c charging with the PD resistors which is nice. Pulls quite alot of current while charging #streetLithium #gutterLipo

Found a new vape Elfbar AF5000, not sure why someone ditched this one because it's refillable and rechargeable. Comes apart in 3 peices. Ones the refill cartridge then there is the electronics then there's the main vape with the wicks in it. I see alot of them have due wicks in them these days #gutterLipo #streetLithium

I found a very interesting vape on my commute this morning. Looks like it's a dual flavour one with 2 different "cartridges" and 2 different pressure sensor and coils. It's not a disposable one because the cartridge can be changed and it can be charged #gutterLipo #streetLithium #vape #ecig

Is this the disposable vapes final form.... I think so, I want one to play with but they dont seam to sell them in the UK #gutterLipo #streetLithium https://ripitapart.com/2024/04/20/dispo-adventures-episode-1-reverse-engineering-and-running-windows-95-on-a-disposable-vape-with-a-colour-lcd-screen/

New gutter lipo update. So I found some interesting vapes this morning, I thought they were reusable but turns out they are not. They do have a USB C charging, my thinking is normally these bigger vapes have 1500mAh battery's in them but these only have 600mAh so they can get away with a smaller battery and letting you charge it when it runs out #gutterLipo #gutter_lipo https://www.vapekituk.co.uk/products/randm-tornado-9000-puffs-disposable-bar-10-99

Ah so big Clive has done a tear down of the new elf bar vapes. He always does a great job and very educational #gutterLipo #vapes https://youtu.be/aPm_Sd0fCrA?si=mggRFjNfU6VNWzUd

Not had any developments in the gutter lipos I've been finding, that is until today. So the Elfbar V2 600 they have changed the battery style and also the body of the E-cig. Firstly the battery now comes in this metal can kinda like a capacitor, also still the 360mah but with both leads coming out the top. The body had changed and they are now more difficult to remove the battery, probably the best way is to push everything out from the bottom to the top #gutterLipo #ecid #ewaste

Looks like I was ahead of the curve for once. It makes me so sad that we are throwing away precious lithium batteries #gutterLipo https://hackaday.com/2023/06/07/harvesting-rechargeable-batteries-from-single-use-devices/#more-598516

So I've got a theory as to why I'm finding so many discarded e-cigs. I live near a high school and my commute takes me past the gates, I'm thinking the kids are vaping in the way to school and ditching them before they go in. They have been off for the past 2 weeks and I've not seen any in the area. They were back in yesterday and I found this one not far from the school gates #gutterLipo #ecig

I'm always looking for ways to make makes new torches to use in work. My latest idea uses a custom replacement PCB I made for the 134n3p power bank board. It also used a gutter lipo and a USB LED strip. I printed it battery side down and relied on bridging. I then printed a outer sleeve to cover it all up. Not sure what the battery life will be like but it's small and lite #lipo #gutterLipo

OMG I found another gutter lipo on the way home, this one's a beast and it was literally on the ground like this. Still holds a charge so should be OK #lipo #vape #ecig #gutterLipo
