Many products actually have charging ports now. All they need to do is allow users to change out the flavor wick and we will come full circle.
Comment on Single-use e-cigarettes contain batteries that last hundreds of cycles despite being discarded
Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 10 months agoThese are rechargeable lithium ion batteries. The same standard 18650 that has powered laptops, EVs, and power banks.
They’re packaged inside a single use product, but the battery is rechargeable.

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.

Not an 18650, that’s way too big (18x65mm). Smaller than 14500 (AA) for sure
