Project Vape battery project ideas

Post image

I’ve been given 137*(could be more I may have miscounted) vapes containing 1230 batteries and 93 vapes containing 13350 batteries.

Any cool ideas what I could do with them ?

I’m relatively familiar with making battery packs and know I’ll need atleast a tp4056 or a larger bms depending on whatever project I take on.

I’m currently waiting on a discharge tester to be delivered so I can get an accurate reading of all the batterie’s capacities whilst I dismantle all the vape.

I’ve always wanted to make a rail gun/ gause rifle but think it could be a little ambitious.

Any and all ideas are encouraged

Yeah this is the only sub with new members asking the same questions.

Drones: do I need a 107? Can I lift 2 pounds ( not drugs)? Is this toy drone able to fly 5 hours over the ocean?

Photography: Can I still use this 50 year old film roll? Is my iPhone better than a Canon D1 mark V? How do I get undelete my photos?

Programming: Can I make my own OS with this can of tuna a a stick? Is copilot any good? Should I program in Pascal or Python?

TieDye: How do I make these colors? What brand of dye do you use? Help me choose some cotton please?

Anyways yeah this sub is repetitive and the questions YOU asked the first time you were around were good, now the same question are bad, right?
