Wanted: broken vape things?

March 10, 2020 6:29 PM

I need around 20 to 30 Vape sticks for a musical project (unbelievable as that may sound). They do not need to function, but they should not be broken in half or anything, And they don’t need any cartridges or whatever. Is there some place out there I can buy a lot of them for super cheap? I’m not sure what to Google to make this happen.

Depends on what you mean by vape pen. Were it not now the answer would be Alibaba and waiting a while for it to come from China. And what do you mean by cheap? I used to know a bunch of sites for buying vape pens and such, but haven't gone digging around for many years. You can probably find something around $6 a piece like this: eGo-T Vape Pen Starter Kit | eGo t Vape Pen Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit. There may be other places that would bulk discount old unfashionable vape pens like that.

I'd just find a wood dowel and carve the tip down to look right and paint it unless you need close-ups.

Edit: $4 a piece - same place.

Do you have a Freecycle or Craigslist in your area? I’d put out a call there. Or ask your local vape shop—maybe they have broken stuff sitting around they could sell you.
