Disposable vapes are indefensible. Many, or maybe most, of them contain rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, but manufacturers prefer to sell new ones.
To make a point about how wasteful this practice is—and to also make a pretty rad project and video—Chris Doel took 130 disposable vape batteries (the bigger “3,500 puff” types with model 20400 cells) found littered at a music festival and converted them into a 48-volt, 1,500-watt e-bike battery, one that powered an e-bike with almost no pedaling more than 20 miles. You can see the whole build and watch Doel zoom along trails on his YouTube video.
Ah ,yes batteries that can explode if heated are way more dangerous than tobaco ash.
First of all, we are not talking here about ash but the cigarette filters, 4.5 trillions of it are littered every year, that contain all the toxins, are made of plastic fibers and it is not bio degradable.

I love that in Fallout one of the crafting materials you get from breaking down cigarettes is asbestos. Its not true of course, at least I don’t think so…
Didn’t know that but also exploding batteries
Its not a competition
Well it appears I took a jet to the finish line proably will need to look into what exactly makes cigarrete waste mor dangerous than the batteries 👍
