While the lithium-ion batteries in disposable electronic cigarettes are discarded after a single use, they can continue to perform at high capacity for hundreds of cycles, according to a study published December 12 in the journal Joule.
The horrible thing about these was when they first came out they were literally regular vapes without the charging port. The board even contained the charge controller so you could stick a regular USB port on it and it would immediately work with no additional effort.
That was until the companies caught wind of what people were doing and put in a bit of extra effort to remove the charge controller and make it that bit harder to hack so profits remained high.
Yeah, some extra electronics to handle charging would go a long way.
Buuut, Quality charging controllers cost money the vapes company isn’t going to put in, and overly cheap controllers add a bigger fire hazard.
