'Sick, bro, nice vape' is what I'd say to the people that turned a vape into a synth ocarina
A DIY project transformed disposable vapes into functional synth ocarinas, highlighting e-waste issues and creative tech repurposing.Summary
A team called Paperbagteam on Instructables has created two models of synthesizers made from disposable vapes, inspired by the design of an ocarina. The first model is played by inhaling like a traditional vape, activating LED sensors and producing sound. The second model connects wirelessly to computers or instruments as an alternate input device. The project aims to address the growing problem of e-waste from disposable vapes—over 11 million are sold monthly—and demonstrate the salvageable tech within them. The creators see the project as a way to combine humor with sustainability, technical education, and creative opportunities, building on a trend of repurposing vape components for projects like playing Doom or powering a house.
