Vape Hacking

safety precautions

warning ! working with batteries is fun but be aware :)

1. Do not let the red and black wire touch each other, otherwise the battery will short circuit.
   
2. The batteries are loaded with power, do not directly solder onto the battery - use insulation tape.
   
3. Always be to charge and discharge the battery with the correct voltage and ampere. Lithium batteries can bloat or even explore when charged incorrectly (always use a li-ion protection circuit and voltage regulator as shown below).
   
4. Wear gloves, the vape liquid is gross and sticky and smelly.

step-by-step instructions

opening the case

Most vapes are opened easily. There is a plug on the opposite end of the mouthpiece, that will come loose when pulled off with a plyer. Carefully pull out the insides without puncturing the battery. The entire circuit will slide out.
