I recently bought a disposable fruit flavoured e-shisha from ebay then promptly bought another so I could puff one to death and then dissect it. For the uninitiated, e-shisha is the new trendy name for the classic e-cig / electronic cigarette. By making them available without nicotine in the vaporising liquid and giving them fruity themes they are kinda making them more acceptable than the traditional nicotine version.
These devices contain a battery (usually rechargeable), control circuit, airflow detector and heating element to create a cloud of vapor like a smoke machine in a night club. Traditionally the nicotine based ones have a mixture of propylene glycol, water, aroma and nicotine to give a rather "throaty" smoke effect complete with nicotine for the hardened smoker. But for those who prefer not to have a strong lung sensation they also supply the liquids with vegetable glycerine (glycerol) as the glycol. The nicotine is also optional, with many choosing to "vape" liquid with just aroma in it.
The aroma is probably the most dodgy chemical in the vapor. It's certainly a much safer way to get a nicotine hit than a traditional particulate-smoke cigarette.
I don't smoke, but I do think these are pretty cool gadgets and tend to make my own liquid for them with just glycerine and water.
This video is a teardown of a depleted disposable unit. For those wondering about the vaporising heater, it's just a spiral of resistance wire wrapped around a bunch of fibreglass strands.

Where can I buy one of these
Waaaaait, so you knew they use fiberglass wicks, right?
I myself prefer cotton wicks these days, although I bought myself a POD device several hours ago — out of curiosity: to use it and see what's inside (and, I guess, salvage the Lithium battery, as they tend to prefer including them even in the disposable items).
And you may have already guessed that you help keeping your viewers' curiosity bright at all times, for this I thank you so much!
Is there a juice?
Tbh these have no nicotine so they are just a bit of fun
This is a direct copy of the Flair E hookah lmao
Bought 20 from Aliexpress recentlyfor less then 1€ each specifically to recover the cells. The version I got uses a plastic tube and it's very easy to disassemble, the cell is in a rigid metal case with no markings in it that's very similar to a capacitor with two contacts on the top.
I was not surprised that when I wanted to find out how to open mine, that your video was first to come up. Who better than my favorite random electronics tear down guy.
😂✨ Im buying a strawberry one tomorrow ;-;
White ppl tryin to understand shisha pens when they dont kno shit..
Us Asian mandems brought it. We kno it
"An e- shih shaa"😂😂
Its pronounced shee shah
Yeet
You can buy them for £1 each on ebay if you dont mind waiting for them to arrive from China
Horray for backwards logic.
Can these be refilled? Not enough in them. They suck literally.
How you charge a shisha pen ?
How to charge it
Mine had a Blu brand ecig battery in it LOL! It stopped producing vapour so I am trying to recharge it now to see if it will fix it. Died after about 7 puffs.
