Found a Pyne Pod 8500 discarded in the grass during a walk into town yesterday

Surprisingly sophisticated charging circuitry for an item designed to be disposable. No obvious way to open it in order for owners to refill the tank or to swap in a new atomizer module.

A disposable vape device with a clear window through which the internal components (PCB, charge circuitry, atomized tank) can be seen. When plugging in a USB-C recharger into the disposable vape device the LED displays 46% and indicates the battery is charging

Oh no! Free batteries appearing in the wild in Canada too!

Haven't seen either of those in the UK not even under a different brand name. [pileofstuff] measured 4V on the battery from the rechargeable , 3.3V on the non-rechargeable

Didn't see any over Easter vacation then suddenly found 7 in the last few days. Is it because their users (kids and parents) have returned from holidays? Or is it coincidental? - the council has just cut the grass where some of these might have been hiding.

Whether or not these disposable #vape devices get banned, the astonishing level of #shrinkflation that is bordering on scam territory, should be sufficient reason to stop buying these single-use #VapePens

The 550mAh #lithiumPolymer #battery (date code 221101) was found in a discarded Elfbar 600 from earlier this year.

The 360mAh battery (date code 230417) from an Elfbar 600 I picked up from the side of a road today
