workshop, 2024 - 2025

Elf Bar, Geek Vape, Vaperesso, Aspire… What to do with the enclosures of your old vape?
Many disposable vapes contain lithium-ion batteries—perfect for powering DIY electronics!

in this workshop, we’ll take apart vapes and reimagine them in unexpected ways, building DIY prototypes of wearable (queer) sex toys!
no prior electronics knowledge needed (but welcome!). we’ll provide the vapes, 3D-printed enclosures, and guidance. if you want to take your sexed-up vape home,  material costs are:
💰 €7.77 (full kit)
💾 €6 (D1 mini microcontroller)
⚙️ €1 (motor)
🔋 €0.75 (3.3V voltage regulator)

We’ll cover:
🔧 How to disassemble vapes and repurpose their power sources
🎛 Connecting components to create simple circuit-driven prototypes
💡 A crash course in queer sex toys with Nastia Cistakova
