The Internal Structure of a Disposable Vape

Comprising a battery, a cartridge with e-liquid, a mouthpiece, and an atomizer, disposable vapes are not made to be recharged or refilled. Therefore, opening them is not part of recommended use. You may have noticed that different vaporizer brands use the same type of device, which is normally not designed to be opened.

Risks of Opening a Disposable Vape

Opening a disposable vape can expose you to unnecessary risks, including contact with toxic substances and the possibility of damaging the device, making it unsafe for further use. Before you start, it is important to take precautions such as wearing gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself in case the e-liquid splashes.

Component Separation

Start by disconnecting the device and dividing it into its main parts. Remember that recycling companies cannot process them whole, as they usually contain metal, plastic, or other different components.

Battery Removal

The batteries contain hazardous chemicals and should be removed and disposed of responsibly, at specific battery recycling points. Once the device is open, removing the battery is as simple as pulling it out.

Cartridge or Tank Cleaning

Before recycling or disposing of the cartridge, make sure to rinse it to remove any e-liquid residue. Usually, one end of the cartridge can be unscrewed, and once opened, the liquid inside is emptied and rinsed with clean water to remove any remaining residue.
