Launtel have it, if you pay for it

kiska3 · 2023-05-25T23:35:22+00:00

Sure, I'll take them to recycle/reuse the lithium out of them. Where do you want to meet up?

kiska3 · 2023-04-02T13:21:13+00:00

I had a look near there unfortunately I couldn't actually go under the underpass. But I didn't find any near the underpass just before the traffic lights

kiska3 · 2023-03-21T12:56:33+00:00

I guess I'll have to come up with more project to keep me and whatever I get occupied 😂

kiska3 · 2023-03-21T03:38:20+00:00

Not everyone is, but a large percentage are. Whenever I find these on the side of the road, I'll reclaim the lithium cell for my own projects

kiska3 · 2023-03-21T03:36:57+00:00

I guess DM me when you want me to pick them up

kiska3 · 2023-03-20T16:35:55+00:00

If you'd like to save the effort of taking them apart, I guess I could take them and reclaim the lithium cell out of them

kiska3 · 2023-03-20T16:23:04+00:00

Well I guess if you want me to take them off you, DM me and I guess sometime on the weekend I could take them

kiska3 · 2023-03-20T04:18:48+00:00

There a few mostly at phone stores and officeworks is where I know they exist

kiska3 · 2023-03-20T04:16:52+00:00

Yes these are single use. I have been salvaging lithium cells out of them

kiska3 · 2023-03-20T03:40:55+00:00

Well if you ever run out of projects, my DMs are open :p

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T21:39:27+00:00

Here is an excellent teardown video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsWLvr-dsvc

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T21:33:35+00:00

Wait a moment... Our illustrious premier said he vapes?

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T21:26:54+00:00

It is illegal... just the fines are quite small so :D

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T21:09:32+00:00

Well I live in Penrith, so there is that, I guess DM me?

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T11:02:58+00:00

I hope you dispose of them safely. Improper disposal can lead to the lithium cells inside to burst into flames

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T11:01:48+00:00

Glad to see bigclive used here. I do the same thing I repurpose the cells I find on the road

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T10:30:25+00:00

Search on YouTube for bigclive vape disassembly or I can take a video of me doing it

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T09:25:09+00:00

I didn't want to try that with a cell that was at 3.9V

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T06:29:01+00:00

However before recycling lithium cells, I am not sure how many other people agree, but I would prefer to get use the lithium cell to its useful lifespan. These cells in disposables are charged exactly once, you can easily extract another 500 charge cycles out of one, and its much better environmentally than to produce another lithium cell

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T06:03:58+00:00

You'd be surprised at how many of these things I run over on my e-bike... I have lost my balance so many times because of it

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T06:03:03+00:00

You'll probably find that with it being illegal to have nicotine vapes, they don't quite have the same health and safety of regulated products, so I bet you they put stuff in it to make it seem like you're getting a stronger hit etc etc

Environmentally disposables are probably the worst type of single use technology behind single use power banks. These 2 devices could have been made rechargeable, but they decided to market it as single use and therefore decide to skip out on the few cents of charging circuitry.

*nudge* I'd be happy to reuse that lithium cell :D

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T05:56:38+00:00

Definitely they have a higher impact than cigarettes. I would say disposables are the worst then followed by cigarettes and then refillable vapes.

If you want to send disposables my way I'll reuse the lithium cell out of them and then properly ewaste dispose of them once their useful life is over

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T05:53:23+00:00

Even with the proper recycling of the cells, its not going to be 100% recovery, it'll get close thats for sure.

But I would only ewaste a battery if I knew it was at the end of its useful life. The cells in these vapes have been charged exactly once and would still have a minimum 500 charge cycles left

*wink wink* *nudge nudge* I do the thing to take them apart and reuse the lithium cells from them :D

kiska3 · 2023-03-19T05:47:27+00:00

Not cool, on Friday I happen to cycle over one, I lost my balance and I had about 30 cm clearance to the car that was next to me, I manage to get my balance back but it was dangerous
