I always sit here and as the evening comes my mind wanders. If 18650s, (490s) etc... were to stop being produced and couldn't be salvaged from laptops and stuff, could you make your own vaping gear which relied on a different source of power? Silly question I know. Just wondered. Obviously you could, but what source of power would be the most reliable?

So no more round li-ion cells.
No problem, just choose another shape or switch to Li-Po's.

No... 18350, 18490 (18500), 18650 and 26650 batteries will NEVER stop being mass-produced. They were here YEARS before vaping was a thing and they'll be here well after. They're used in flashlights, portable power banks, heck they're even used in Tesla car batteries.

iXCC 8000mAh Power Bank - Portable External Backup Charger Battery Pack for Smartphones, MP3 Players, Tablets..


With this lil panel you can charge the bank, a phone and use the passthrough.

You can easily hook any of todays chips to a 5v dc power supply, no battery needed.

And what kind of battery do you think is in those?

You can actually put a AA battery in a telescoping 18650 mech mod. Or you could re-purpose a flashlight with D batteries. There are rechargeable batteries and chargers at Walmart. The 510 conectors are easy to find on ebay and will still be around after the FDA vapeocalypse, so you will be able to retrofit any switched battery holder to hold an atomizer. Vaping won't die, but we may have to get creative.
