    Default Vape Puff bar can be reused.

    Im not a vaper, but was curious what was inside one.

    It turns out that the £3-5 throw away puff bar can be reused and easily, as all that stops working in them is the battery power, which is good news as the batteries in them are rechargeable.
    So far i have opened (they just push together) two different make/models, both use the same 3.7v rechargeable battery.
    I have added a charge port to the bottom so will hand back the device for soak testing.
    As for chargers, this is what im using.> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274751061...r=574974226099

    I don’t vape or smoke either but is it obvious how to refill the juice too? Crazy the impact these ‘disposables’ are having on the environment. I see them littering the floor more than NOS canisters now.

    Very easy to refill.
    Rock the top back and forward with your thumb pushing against the "sucky bit" until it pulls off, then inside remove the rubber housing covering the sponge that holds the juice & refill. Entire process should take less than a minute.
    I have no idea how much juice is required to refill, as yet to to do that.
    Tbh, even if you see them lying about it would be worth picking up for the batteries alone.

    Breakdown of the inside.
    Once top and rubber seal removed, the sponge is visible

    You can save money buying those charging units in 5 packs for £1 more.

    I bought the 3 pack just to see how well they work & charge time. Charging was a lot quicker than i expected at around 1hr at a guess.
    Green light means Standby/Done, Red light means charging.
    I have be given 3 more of the same type to mod, which will be followed by the more transitional cigar shape ones.

    Problem is that the cotton sponge/atomiser will wear out so even if you do refill it, it'll probably start tasting nasty before you get to a second refill.

    Agreed with the above by the way, the littering of these things is terrible.

    Doesn't seem to be an issue as refilled of the sponge/atomiser many multiple times without complaint.
    Possibly taste rank if flavors were to be mixed though.
