Rechargeable Disposable Vape Teardown

Teardown of cheap disposable Vape Pen. This device has the unique feature of a USB-C style charge port, however it is not re-usable beyond the "single use" prefilled liquid reservoir. The device contains a Lithium Polymer battery rated 210mAH 3.7V 0.78Wh. The typically 3-wire electret microphone is further expanded to have six wires and connects to the charger cable as well as status LED.
