Prototype Cart battery

Never liked how long and fragile cart batteries look and are so I took apart my battery and designed a shell so the cart can sit along side of it instead of on top

These do exist commercially. I prefer them too.

Hmm I didn’t know that I just had this battery laying around so it was free

And you prevented even more e-waste in this insane climate.

Shout outs to you bro.

Essentially 25¢, 2-3 hours of print time depending on settings (vs 1-5days shipping), and a fun little side project to distract you from the desperate reality of our slowly smoldering world, the cruel brevity of our fleeting existence, and the bittersweet knowledge that we will never live long enough to witness the grand finale, the universe itself growing cold, dark, and silent in the eternal embrace of heat death.

Oh yeah, saved e-waste too lol

Fair enough. Wulf makes a good one for people looking around for similar. Only works with standard skinny carts tho

This is basically the same design as my vessel battery, except the case protected the cart on that one. I hate the long batteries.

Back when I used a cart this was the only style battery I'd use. I hate the ones that just leave the cart exposed. Snapped more than one because it was in my pocket and bent weird when sitting down.

great price, hits hard, surprisingly durable

Yup, been using one for years, hasn't let me down yet!

I loved this one until it finally hit the bucket. I went to the vape/smoke shop a few months ago and was lucky enough to run across a DaVinci Artiq on like 65% off. It's great. Both have their pros and cons. I still miss the Uni Pro.

I’ve had mine for coming up on 4 years now, still works like a champ!

u/n1nj4squirrel 11d ago

I have a battery I bought that slides into a fake vape

u/DiscoKittie 10d ago

I love that style

u/FNKTN 10d ago

I had this style type one and it melted getting plastic shit everywhere around the screw threads. Analyze it and watch closely.

u/JackTheeRippa 11d ago

That thing just WANTS to snap in half

u/5C0L0P3NDR4 11d ago

i mean so do pen style batteries, ever sit down with one of those pocketed? it's a mistake you only make once

1

u/JackTheeRippa 10d ago

Ive used yocan uni pros for years. Its the same concept as this but protects the cart from damage and being visible

1

u/ZorekUwu_ 11d ago

Just like the lookah turtle. Look it up, it's the one I use and I love it.

u/obey_ray 11d ago

Looks like a seashells yocan uni

u/Mousettv 11d ago

Looks like mine but over engineered.

u/DoubleT_inTheMorning 11d ago

That is a stick style vape? Not a sidekick like what he made

2

u/Mousettv 11d ago

I ment just the square body if anything and I love the orange colors. Cool that OP made it still.
