This video will be Patreon only, because it will probably trip the YouTube vape-device filter.

I was also getting used to a different recording device and space, so I wandered off-shot for a moment.

Dummy dummies? (for our Aussie friends)

I think I read somewhere that the Tobacco lobbyists (there are a LOT of them) were the ones that got the "Flavor Ban" going to screw with the people that fill their own refillable tanks, mods and devices. At the same time, they have investments in the disposable market.

One of the things I like best about your videos Clive, is that you have almost completely eliminated my intimidation about taking things apart. Since I started watching your vids I've opened up any number of non-working, and occasionally working, devices. I've learned a lot. Thanks.

Jack Hodgson

Thanks big Clive.

Dave Frederick

They're very minimalist. Often just a chip, capacitor and LED. All the rocket science is in the chip.

The word nicotine may be a trigger.

As time goes on your diagnostic skills will get better and better.

I've got a Big Tobacco conspiracy theory. All the units sold by the tobacco companies are very rough and unpleasant to vape. I thought it was because actual smokers are used to rough smoke. But actual smokers don't like them and keep smoking. Maybe they're actually designed to put smokers off vaping.

You could put some of the little 2V panels in series to get a higher voltage. Preferably at least 3 with some overcharge protection.

Big Clive

What about adult pacifier's, adult Binkie's or miniature fog machines?

Mustafa's Fleas

Only the ones not sold by Big Tobacco of course - wait a moment they sell them al don't they?

Mr B Shepherd

Surely you can get round the YouTube algorithm by just calling them "gullible fashion victim sticks"?

Jon Knight

I wonder how long until "big tobacco" starts a conspiracy theory that disposable vapes have a microphone in and are spying on you?

Have you been using these types of batteries much? I'm thinking the larger 1000+ mAh ones would be decent for yard lighting though you'd probably need a 5v panel right? I've been wondering if I could string together some of these smaller panels from various 1.4v NiMH Dollar Tree (Poundland) lights to achieve a charging voltage.

Mini personal fog machine. (we will know what you mean)

love the zoom feature!

I'm surprised that more of those tiny price driven devices with microscopic surface mount components aren't DOA.

Bill Kerr

I think the YouTube friendly term for these devices is Personal Electronic Nicotine Inhalation Systems.

Like you, I made a poor initial assumption when diagnosing a faulty power board yesterday. Unlike you, I chased this one down the rabbit hole and made a mess of things (desoldering a perfectly functional mosfet in the process), it turned out to be a faulty trace, not a faulty component. The more I learn, the more I realise not to make assumptions as to the cause of problems. I can make informed initial guesses, but my initial assumptions are always going to come and bite me in the arse if I chase it too far down the rabbit hole without looking at other things first. Lesson (hopefully) learned.
