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 Elfbar 600 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.

Here we go, although the larger lid is easier to grab and get off, it doesn’t let you get the insides out easily from that end. So you need to find the little hole at the other end and use something small to lever it off.

Once off you should be able to pull out all of the insides in one go

Then take the other lid off as below

Next separate the battery by cutting the wires. I would do the positive side first as there is only one wire to cut there.

Then cut both wires from the negative side to separate the battery completely.

Lever out the electronics from the lid with some small pliers.

Remove the rubber bungs and hard plastic tube, its best to give the plastic tube a quick rinse after to wash any vape liquid off too.

Then just separate the remaining wires from the other material by cutting.
