The batteries are lithium and are rechargeable as long as there not below 3v and the small round thing is a pressure sensor for when you suck on the vape it also works when you blow on them and the led lights you can also do something to make the sensor into a capacitive touch sensor
If you apply 5V to the blue wire and the - to the black wire, you can charge the battery up. The circuit will pass about 500mA to slow charge the lithium battery. I made a little gizmo with one for reviving 18650s in tool batteries.
I use a TP4056 charging module to recharge these batteries - works a treat from a USB charger and these batteries are free if you keep your eyes open and look down. I get my 4056s from Amazon: £6.95 for 5. Cheaper for 10 off.
It is a total waste. Yet for some reason the flavor off these are so much better than the more reusable ones. I think cuz of that huge cotton cylinder.
Yeah pretty simple construction, such a waste of a rechargeable Li-Ion. If you can find a charge circuit you can reuse these. Otherwise just an expensive disposable piece of garbage.
@@devhackmod there are version of thse with voltage regulators and micro usb ports.. similar circuit manufacturers are just building these "disposable" ones to get more sales.
👆This. Although calling it a light-sabre is a bit of a stretch due to its diminutive size, I'd describe it more as a light-dagger or light-knife, or, as I like to call mine, a pico-poker. However, it _will_ penetrate durasteel armour easily but would leave nary a scratch on beskar. I mean, even when properly focused, it's no arc pulse generator! Amirite. 😄
It was flashing when you found it, beacuse it had moisture from the ground that shorted the terminals on the sensor chip and turned it on.. And if you blow on to the back of the sensor it will turn on, provided there is at least 2.6v left on the battery charge and there is a load or another led connected the blue wire and black wire respectively. The battery is rechargeable
Good information, thanks. The battery is rechargeable but most of these vape devices do not have a charge port and even if they did, the liquid inside of them isn't designed to be replaced. So sadly you end up with Lithium Ion battery (that may or may not have a battery charging management circuit) that you have to toss out.
From an online site, that little "capsule" does all these things: 1) ASIC design. 2) LED working indication 3) Short Circuit Protection(SCP) 4) Under voltage lock out(UVLO) 5) Over-temperature protection(OTP) 6) Low quiescent current (4.0-5uA) 7) Simple periphery circuit,low cost. 8) Little measurement error for charging voltage (within 1%) 9) Perfect Battery protection trickle charge mode when battery voltage is lower than 2.7V,quick charge mode when voltage between2.7- 4.2V,constant voltage charging at 4.2V. 10) Wide charging voltage (4.3-5.0V),superior Rechargeable performance, safe charging process
Guess what.. there are people who don't smoke (like him and also me) and (we) have no idea what kind of trash other people use to "smoke" and how does it work. I picked one almost same like this one and coudn't figure out without YT how does it work but as it produce quite of smoke i'm now able to fix it and make a smoke generator for finding turbo /intercooler leaks, on this planet
Gloves? Chillax bro, it's not fent Man u were so excited disassembling that thing I thought you were going to fix it and show us how to blow some REAL clouds 😂😂
I put on gloves because sometimes vape oil gets all over my chewed up fingers.🤣 But yeah I wasn't planning on blowing any clouds as it looked pretty spent and non-functional by the time I got through with it!
Yes thanks. The air flow sensor is quite complex, I found out it has numerous functions built it even though it's hard to see the chip (it's hidden in there).
It seems like a closed tube so it doesn't matter, even if the sensor is at the other end. Air has to somehow enter or exit the tube and the only place would be through the sensor.
The light on the sensor circuit blinks or turns on, flashing to show it is activated. You wouldn't see any actual light from inside the vape, however if the wire gets hot that wraps around the liquid wick (to vaporize it) it may show a visible glow although you'd need your vape to be opened like I did and hook it up to the battery and see the wire burn red hot.
It's more complicated than that. Every one I've opened has this part that seems to be doing more than just switching it on off (I've tried just shorting the wire, it doesn't work). It may be regulating battery charge while adjusting current flow to the heating element based on sensing air-pressure and so on. It's not just a simple switch.

Nice! Thanks for the tip!
That battery is indeed rechargeable. 3.7 volt lithium ion.
Seems like such a waste, perfectly good battery to only use one time!

Love the vaporizer circuit. Great discovery work here. Was wondering about the same things in the past when I found and opened these e cigs.

Air pressure switch, get activated by a small metallic film as air goes through closing the circuit.
Thanks for clarifying, yes it seems that's how it activates the device!
Do you know where you can get those?
@@rag.animations I'm assuming electronics supply sites (Mouser, Digikey) or perhaps on eBay?
You need to update the firmware, so you can use it as light saber.

@@devhackmod wow, best reply I've ever had, thanks for taking the time 👌
@@devhackmod are you serious? wow! I guess ill leave them in now instead of taking them out of the circuit.
Why is he explaining it like he’s not from this planet
Watch BigCliveDotCom who does a real good teardown of these disposed puffers.

So the little metal lines inside the little speaker looking thing vibrate when air passes through them which turns the system on and you know the rest
I've found one of these yesterday, that's why l'm here. Mine has USB-C charger and l'll find some use for this tiny battery charger.
Good idea, you can power some other device and have a nice portable power pack/charger assembly!
When a vacuum is sensed from taking a draw it activates the switch.
Thanks! These devices have multiple functions, very cool engineering!
Bro amazing video
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Can you explain how the air pressure sensor works and where it should be placed
Your dog was vaping?
Haha!!! He almost did if I didn't catch him!
Lol
U open it from the bottom and u will see the sensor and u will see a battery and the heating element is called a coil
Yes thanks. The air flow sensor is quite complex, I found out it has numerous functions built it even though it's hard to see the chip (it's hidden in there).
What is this electronic sensor what is Marc code?
A microphone and an air pressure sensor are the same...
LOL😀 Yes how true!
how can the airflow sensor detect that you take a push? I mean its at the bottom of the vape why its not higher?
It seems like a closed tube so it doesn't matter, even if the sensor is at the other end. Air has to somehow enter or exit the tube and the only place would be through the sensor.
@@devhackmod oh okay Thank you
Pressure sensor!! When air is sucked the pressur sensor complete the circuit.
Bro how does vape glow while smoking??
The light on the sensor circuit blinks or turns on, flashing to show it is activated. You wouldn't see any actual light from inside the vape, however if the wire gets hot that wraps around the liquid wick (to vaporize it) it may show a visible glow although you'd need your vape to be opened like I did and hook it up to the battery and see the wire burn red hot.
3:13 burned out mesh coil
I wonder how many vapes burn out like that and still have plenty of juice and battery left?
Can I replace that sensor with a switch ? I mean in the end it just connects two wires like a switch right?
It's more complicated than that. Every one I've opened has this part that seems to be doing more than just switching it on off (I've tried just shorting the wire, it doesn't work).

Yes thanks for the advice! Will look into it!
Can
Terrible waste of the planets resources, can we not grown out of such selfish behaviour.
Imagine all the Tesla car batteries that could be manufactured instead of vapes! 🤣
Why are you wearing gloves? What's the point? Just more garbage and for what? Weird.
Didn't want the oil all over my fingers!
It's nicotine aerosol liquid, I wouldn't want that on my fingers either. God knows what ingredients are in the Chinese vape liquids...
@@NIGHTDREADED Good point, you don't want any chemicals from these on your skin.
