Lipoly battery in this crushed Packman branded vape device was fully charged when I found it in a carpark last night

There is a USB-C port for recharging. The atomizer tank was already missing so cannot tell if it was intended to be refillable. Judging from the vape brand's website it was probably disposable

That pressure sensing capsule found in most disposable pens can very easily be turned into a switch that is capable of switching currents high enough to activate small relays and solenoids

Simply slice the top off, exposing the edges of the inner and outer conductive cylindrical walls. Bridging the two walls with something no more conductive than human skin is sufficient to trigger it

A rare find outside the gates of a school - disposable vape device with a non-cylindrical battery. Of the 100+ single-use vape pens I've found discarded on the side of streets over the past year, the vast majority had rechargeable cylindrical batteries

Wonder who dropped it. Teacher, parent, or child
