why does a glorified heater connected to a battery need any silicon attached to it?

This further illustrated how absolutely crazy it is to produce these devices for a single use and then just throw them away, not even making sure they can be recycled properly. It’s complete madness. I hope they’ll be banned soon, I think the EU is working on it.

24 MHz Arm Cortex M0+ processor. The chip also carried 24KB of flash storage and 3KB of static RAM. … a 10y old phone can barely load Google, and this is about 100x slower. Wild that you can serve anything with that hardware. Granted, static websites are basically just sending files over the wire.

But can it run DOOM?

As a manufacturer/seller of disposable vapes, literally everyone wants refillable tanks. Obviously the customer does too but we’re vertically integrated. We grow, extract, flavor, fill, and sell. Managing the logistics from China sucks and requires a decent amount of overbuying to ensure we have a steady stream. You never know when some orange retard will close up the border to x country that makes your stuff. I’d love to just have a CoA of the distillate, flavor mixer like a coke machine, and a fill nozzle for the customer to hand to the cashier to fill.

“it was actually a PY32F002B, powered by a 24 MHz Arm Cortex M0+ processor. The chip also carried 24KB of flash storage and 3KB of static RAM” To process a single button.

There also has already been someone that made a home battery from batteries harvested from disposable vapes. It is absolutely insane that these “disposable” vapes are legal.
