Turned a used Vape into a power bank
The whole thing disassembled
3d printed a case
Parts I used
- A vape I found on the street with 550mah battery
- This power bank board
- This 3d model by dante3213
Built the entire thing yesterday and it hasnt exploded yet. Im seeing that as a win.
Capacity isnt huge but its tiny and a phone with 15% battery charge is better than one with 0
Not bad... But 550mAh is more 10% or less of a modern phone battery after some inefficiency is considered.
But interesting idea indeed.
enough in a pinch to get a call or some texts out order a rideshare/taxi from the bar etc. this would be more useful for topping up a rechargeable flashlight or... your other vapes.
Though back in the day I was doing exactly the opposite of this 🙃
I don’t know why this is such an appealing project, but it is. Adding an LED and a switch so it can be used as an emergency flashlight would be cool too.
almost free powerbank maybe?
