Parts I used

Built the entire thing yesterday and it hasnt exploded yet. Im seeing that as a win.
Capacity isnt huge but its tiny and a phone with 15% battery charge is better than one with 0

I don’t know why this is such an appealing project, but it is. Adding an LED and a switch so it can be used as an emergency flashlight would be cool too.

almost free powerbank maybe?

Shimitar,

Not bad… But 550mAh is more 10% or less of a modern phone battery after some inefficiency is considered.

But interesting idea indeed.

enough in a pinch to get a call or some texts out order a rideshare/taxi from the bar etc. this would be more useful for topping up a rechargeable flashlight or… your other vapes.

Though back in the day I was doing exactly the opposite of this 🙃
