There's an odd and wasteful trend of using rechargeable lithium cells in disposable products these days. I thought I'd open this "disposable" battery and then test its ability to take a charge.
Note that I can't condone the recharging of batteries sold as being non rechargeable. You try this at your own risk.

    Here in the US, I've been finding a bunch of disposable eCigs; instead of any reusable parts, the entire thing is disposable. Many are 400-550mAh cells, which are great for small projects! Just gotta be careful — if the voltage is under 3V, you're entering dangerous territory. But as long as the cell isn't too flat and isn't damaged, you can probably recharge them just fine. But I'd use low charging current to prevent risk of fire. And now I'm going to look at your other eCig video, which appears to be a more similar style with a microphone or something that looks like one… These don't have a button!

    Dear clive, I have a question tormenting me and i figured you were the perfect person to ask. Is there any danger of throwing disposable e-cig in the trash. I know that it is not envrionmentaly responsible but I really wanted to know about the security. Is there any chance that it catch on fire or explode in the trash containers. I suffer from OCD and this question is torturing me..
    Best Regards

    Why the hell is vaping stuff in the US so expensive? The damn charger here is at least $7. Unless you order it from a china-based seller on eBay.

    First off love your videos I take things to bits in my spare time and now in my shorter spare time I can watch you do it I sure wish or dollar store or Dollar Tree stores had Vape products I've been a vapor for quite a while so it would be handy to be able to snag batteries out of a disposable Vape to use in projects thank you for your time and effort and making these videos

    Pretty sure the only disposable bit is the atomiser,no coil change/wick etc,so you throw it away..the batteries are rechargable

    You're terrible. I gave up smoking 15 years ago; and every time I watch you playing with a vape gadget I think about trying it again. Be strong, Jim. Its not the nicotine, but the thought of getting something in my mouth. Hmmnh, I really must be mental!

    i wonder how many rechargeable lithium cells you could make with the lithium from a non-rechargeable lithium cell.

    Monopropylene glycol helps carry flavor in addition to the slight throat hit ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Vegetable glucose gives a denser vapor and has a slight sweet taste to it..
    Little vaping 101 there lol..

    the reason it would be classed as non rechargeable is because ot would be a lower grade battery, it would have more of a risk to explode.
