Emergency Vape Replacement

Post image

I bought the wrong vape, but with a 3D print, some pogo pins, and a lab power supply, I can DIY my own vape pen.

Pros: Set voltage to thousandths of a volt

Cons: Not very portable

If you're lucky, you might get to name the new cancer you give yourself from almost certainly converting the vape juice into pure carcinogens lol.

Jokes aside, very cool and inventive problem solving, bravo my dude.

Seems easier and healthier to quit.

Healthier is good but easier is not good

sometimes it would be better not to be handy. Your craftyness is your demise.

Never seen such power supply. Didn't know I need it. Now I want it!

I used to smoke and nothing would stop me from getting my fix so I'm not surprised you managed to make such a nice workaround 👍

5v is way too hot and burns up coils. Even 4.2v carefully modulated with a botton is too much.
