The quality of this unit took me by surprise. I initially thought it might be a generic mass produced item, but a lot of though seems to have gone into the design of the Vype pen in terms of aesthetics, controls, circuitry and the slightly devious cartridge system that seems to have had a bit of thought put into making it hard to refill yourself. For the majority of users in the intended market that's not an issue, as they will just by cartridges as they would have traditionally bought cigarettes. But to people like us it's an intriguing challenge. Much like the early days of refilling inkjet cartridges.
The scale of this product is perhaps hinted at by the oval lithium cell. I guess it's been spiral wound round a flat shaft to create the shape. I wonder if it's a standard shape of cell the case has been designed around or if it's a custom cell. Either way it fits a decent capacity into a stylish form.
The active components are quite elusive. I've not worked out what the processor is yet.
On the control PCB there is a three pin component marked 432 (shunt regulator/reference?)
and a processor marked:-
BT001
745GD
2724B063
ARM
On the power PCB there is:-
A PS63020 buck/boost regulator
2 3-pin components marked R15
1 small 3-pin component marked MA
The charge control and monitoring PCB has:-
5-pin LPS 887W1 (presumably a lithium charge controller)
3-pin 431 (shunt regulator/voltage reference?)
3-pin 1HC
3-pin WS07
The heater coils seem to have a resistance of about 2-3 ohms.
The whole thing is surprisingly well designed. It appears to be an attempt by the tobacco companies to keep their foothold in the nicotine addiction industry by making a high quality vaping device and then making their money from the refill cartridges.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

Ya gotta do update vuse epod 2 now lol
Why is mine not smoking can someone tell me
My hubby always buys dispos, and he gives them to me when he's done with em, they're fun as hell to recharge and refill. Plus, it's free batteries.
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Do one with vype etank
2020 update – there's a new Vype ePen 3, the pods are super simple to refill, literally pop off the bottom of the pod and there's a hole that exactly fits the end of a 10ml vape juice bottle, and you just refill. Quite a nice bit of kit, considering I got it discounted for around 3,80 quid converted from my currency (because Vype now isn't just in the UK)
I think the nicotine salts they are now using makes vaping more addictive.
you should try to refill the Uwell Caliburn pod
Douche flute.
No way I'm supporting this product! Went to 180 smoke, they told me I was getting 1.2mg, then when I got home realized it said 12 mg, went back to correct this mistake, I was treated with utter disrespect and they would not correct the mistake they made. I don't think I can ever trust the 180 smoke shop in Liberty village or the vype which is an Imperial Tobacco product. They are responsible for so many deaths and ruined lives.. I'm sorry but there's no way you're getting anymore of my money or support!
I watch BigClive videos alot and ones like this always make me think: there is a designer out there of whatever product BC is taking apart and reverse-engineering thinking they've been so clever and then they see BC's video and they yell at their monitor, "And I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for BigClive and his little spudger!!!"
The vaping liquid takes the moisture out of the air – so that's the reason why I couldn't get into vaping and am still stuck with smoking cigarettes. When I tried, it felt really dry and scratchy in my throat and I had to cough so much that I didn't really feel comfortable continuing.
someone oculd make their own simpler cartridge with the proper screw thread
Great advice, worked a treat. Thanks B.C.
There's formaldehyde in cigarettes. As well as well as ammonia there's also acetone. There's 17 different chemicals in reglure cigarettes.
You could get bubbles in there you should tap the syringe to clear bubbles then squit it bit out
I use the worx drils and tools.
You can buy lots off them blunt syringes for e cigs on amazon
Nicotine is toxic but in low forms it's not. In cigarettes its nothing to do with nicotine it's the tar and buy products that affects the lungs and Heart ect I don't smoke or vape. I do drink alcohol tho I just study sciences. Ect
