How to Break Down a Lost Mary QM600 Disposable Electronic Vape or Cigarette Into Components

Firstly, safety – The batteries can still carry an electrical charge and can be dangerous still so if you are not confident then I would recommend you put the whole thing into battery recycling rather than try to break it down yourself first. For those who wish to contine I have put a guide below on how I disassemble and recycle the Lost Mary QM600 disposable electronic vapes or Cigarettes I find.

First of all, get your tools ready, I use a couple of pairs of different sized Pliers, some snippers and a screwdriver.

Tools Used For Disassembling Disposable Electronic Vape or Cigarette

Ok lets roll.

I start with the metal end cap, get some small pliers and either lever it off or put then through the hole in the top and pull. Don’t worry about breaking it, you are just going to recycle it anyway.

I couldnt see a way to pull the component out without snipping the rubber part or the wires, do that and it should pull free.

Once you have done that everything should be nicely separated. Recycle the plastic and metal bits in your normal recycling. The battery can be taken to battery recycling, they have these in lots of the big shops and your council should have various facilities. The electronic part and wires can be put in the waste electrical equipment recycling (all councils have these facilities). The rubber is sometimes recycled but sometimes not. If not you can bin it with the fabric pieces.
