@l05tchild Yep, nothing makes me feel like we're doomed as a species than a bubblegum flavoured vape containing a fully functional lithium battery getting washed down the drain into the ocean when it rains.

Fun* fact in this video: the 'disposable' vapes thrown away in Britain alone contain enough lithium batteries to make 1.2 Million e-bikes.I've been independently powering things with vape batteries that I've rescued before seeing this video. -

I've been independently powering things with vape batteries that I've rescued before seeing this video. Pull out the cell, add a cheap usb charging module and you have a fully rechargeable 3.7v power source. If you need higher voltage you can put them in series and you can even get multi-cell balancing modules for next to nothing if you want to have a few in parallel for more current.
I don't trust them for anything critical, but they're great for low-budget projects as the cells are completely free. My bike lights are all powered by them (one can run a flashing bike light for a couple of weeks' use), as well as various other things that had their batteries die, or that didn't come with rechargeable batteries.
I also only charge them somewhere flameproof, though I haven't had any issues so far.

I finally got good beta on a semi sekrit climbing training wall just up the road from home today.@adamsteer
Semi secret training wall you say? Do tell. -
Sydney’s Glorious levels are so high they’re alarming senior figures #GloriousSydney@liamvhogan Yeah, but the Marvelous levels are sadly lacking.
