The lipos are perfect power source for spoofing modules. Doesn't matter how long they work

BotGrinder easily the best of fpv content right now

Sik idea even if it was only for short flights the fact you pulled this off is impressive. Love the diy gutterpunk approach to this hobby it gives me life

So creative and entertaining homie! I bet there is so many treasures thrown away waiting to be found all over. Great way to recycle batteries and help the earth 🌎 🤟

Dude, just put me out of business 😂 😈 love it! Well Done! So entertaining! ✊ 🎉

Hey, I've pulled two huge oriental rugs out of dumpsters, inflatable yard Santas, a deer cam... but better.. stuff left out on the side of the road for trash pick up day.. a 720p LED big screen tv, basketball goal.. a huge doll house... that I fixed up and gave away to a little girl... a satelite dish. Craigslist was even better.. once I brought home a boat, on a 20ft boat trailer (which I wanted), plus a free riding lawnmower to boot... all from one person. Turned the boat trailer into an aircraft trailer and used it to pick up a free airplane, and fixed the riding lawnmower. The boat is still in my back yard with working engine. One of those family water ski boats from the 70's. Got a free car once too with locked up engine. Ain't nothing compared to the hundreds of home computers I brought home :-) My computer hauls dwarf all the rest put together combined. My sister got a free house trailer, free pool table, and free piano with it. I ended up buying all three with credit card money I got, er.. .free... lol.

@BOTGRINDER I'm doing this for about two years now. Got the idea from a friend who worked in a vape shop and asked all the customers to return the empty ones. Ofc only a few did it but over some time we accumulated around 100 empty disposables and ripped them apart. I actually did some thorough testing with those bats, like estimating the max current draw they can handle, voltage drop and so on. Flying a 1S whoop isn't really fun, had about the same results you did, but beefier 75/85 whoops with a 1S2P or 2S configuration works actually quite well. Sure, the whoops are more sluggish but you can still get them to fly pretty nimble and have fun indoors. My DIY Frankenstein'd 85 whoop lasted for around 8 minutes with a DIY 2S pack (using cylindrical Li-Io bats). Also I've built some 3S5P packs for my gear as AUX packs (extra power for external ELRS modules, goggle bats and whatnot)

Fuck yeah! “I got control back!” Mad respect for self MEME! Great resourcefulness too. ❤

I used a few old vape cells to upgrade the cells in my drone buzzer. the ones that buzz loud as heck when you crash. :) good stuff.

Awesome Bot! It takes some balls to say that. With that said, I have been clean for a while now myself. Drones are way more enjoyable.

I done this about 4 months ago for my mobula7 while wait for battery to come in the mail. Awesome bot love the video

Earbud charger boxes have good little 1s batteries too

Yeah cool, I do the same. But you can find more disposable vapes in supermarkets. Most of them have this extra collecting containers for old batteries. Also 18650 and 21700 good to find there. Mostly, I make 2S or 3S batteries from 600mAh - 850mAh accus.

Thanks for the shout Bot! Love the videos

ive been in your house several times and looked dead at the staircase and for some reason never realized you have an upstairs, it was just like a fake portal to nowhere in my head.

Bot is the most original entertainable fpv influencer who dont GAF WYT,vaudeville wt 4 props lots of luv

I cannot tell you how much I relate to the "vlogging in public" anxiety. I do it when I have to, but I fucking hate it. This was a cool video. Nicely done.

Bot Grylls in the wild. Sick bruh...❤

Unmatched creativity and dedication, mad respect!

I forgot how much I like your videos

I fckn love you bro, such a creative soul!! 😊

Fire vid bot! The house tour was clean asf! The orange fridge w the wizard posters 🔥🔥🔥🔥

You deserve an award for that ending 🙂

I love these types of videos and W editing ❤

Loved the seinfeld ending. And thanks for stopping me from doing crack

My man's dialogue is too random to be scripted. Always entertaining and never dull. Righteous!!!!!

The guys in the store were cool 😎

I mean, BotGrinder and probably DashieGames are the two guy on which videos I just cant stand still and I press like in the first 10 seconds of them. Mad funny!!! xD

We throw away too much, we build throw away crap , should be nice if they just built quality battery's that last. I digress , awesome vid , re purposing is a art and skill👍

Definitely a cool video. If I could say one thing about you, you’re very entertaining bro.

Outta this world!👽

fireeeeee was waiting for this ep

The round ones are for long range.. 😂😂😂😂 You killed me there 😅😅

ending was so good, damn I love your videos

Disposable e-cigs have lithium batteries. I opened one and it had a18350 1000mah 3.7v. So i put a BT.2 plug on it and ripped it on a 1s babytooth 😀. Although it sagged like doodoo💩. Free battery however made it an enjoyable experiment 😁.

Solid. End was the best

It really was better this time. lol. love your videos.

Had those 550mah to 4.35😮. Stone cold. Stable voltage! 1c charge.😊

Disposable Vapes. They are rated for heavy discharge. I have a pile of them just waiting to have the batteries harvested. Gotta get the bigger vapes though, the ones rated for 5000-7500 puffs.

They are great to use for cruising around, awesome for really micro drones. Gotta try the lion type in disposables.

That is some bad ass ingenuity!!

5:58 the hell is that homer art haha

😂😂Bot I love the Seinfeld skit 👌👌🙌🙌

Brah it's me LockJawFPV lol I actually have a ton of disposable I've been keeping and there 650 mAh for a lil indoor fun I might build a bunch of them lol rock on brotheren

My favorite hobo

Lol I think a box mod would make a good frame still.

What an awesome idea and great video Bot!!! Thabks homie cheers!

The Jerry thing at the end. 😂

I made a pack of 3s2p from these little things a while back and even managed to fly my 5" for a couple minutes. It wasn't really a great pack - it heated up like crazy and could only pull about 20 amps, but it flew all right. I think that with 5s it could work very well, but i didn't bother checking it

I tried this with my very first drone i ever bought . The included batteries pased the power on test but immediately tooka ashit after that. My try worked about the same as yours.

Loved it Bot! ❤

People don't just throw vape pens away unless they stop working which at that point probably means the batteries are done unless they could be regenerated. And even then how many people vape to be finding random ones that stopped working. But hey gave you something to do and content to post. Love it

Brilliant, Bot! ❤

This is content. Bravo.

That's a great idea! Great episode! Thanks for all your work putting these videos together! 🤘😎

Fascinating. Kick Ass video Bro!🎉

Ngl your vids have been getting me through working Saturdays so thanks man you’re killing it!

Mad scientist skills come out at 10:00 And the award for Most Creative Mofo in the World goes to

I love your videos brother keep it up.

Woohoo a gr8 classic best hobo in the u verse 🎉

YES Bot i literally have 25 dead Breeze vaps bc two of those batteries in series together work Pretty well with my tiny hawk!!! lolol

That was great JS ending everything great job

The start of this vid mate 😂😅 pmsl 🤣🤝

Elon Crust

Betty Boop Bot!!😂

Some remotes for TV's and stuff, have small lipos or lithium-ion batteries in them, might be worth checking out too.

Funny Seinfeld part. 😆👍

dude i stumbled upon your channel and i was really impressed- loved the ending'

You’re a great man bot.

Awesome vid man, I got a ton of batteries I'm gonna try that with.

a few of the flat ones in parallel would probably make decent range for nearly no weight

That was fun. Actually, I wonder if they could be used for a small power bank?

Awesome!!!

I was rolling at the End. 😂

Creative as hell video, Bot! Nice imagination. Part two... Go to Best buy, and right inside the front door is their recycle bin for batteries of all kinds. Just pilfer through the bin to find I'm sure everything you can imagine in batteries. But, remember, those are in the recycle bin because they failed. So, you've got to look for multi cell lipos and expect to take them apart. You know that when a 3s or 4s lipo fails it's probably because of one cell dying. You get the others that most likely will work fine! I don't think they're really for whoops, but who knows what you'll find the day you decide to go. When I've seen their bin, it's got hundreds of batteries in it. Sure, most are gonna be alkaline AA's, but there's all types. I'll look forward to a Part II. You go Bot! 😎🤘

your editing skills are sick.

Great video. Also good to learn how to use reuse resources

lovin' the hammer mic..

I use wape batteries to power my sensored closet LEDs.👍

0:52 - 1:20 best Szene i could watch this the whole day. I came from Germany. My dream is to visit America one day. But the problem is i have not Time for it. I work Hard and the stress to backung Bags and destroy the whole Fun of the Trip. I love it to see random Street working of America. Yes, we live in Germany and not the backsite of the moon we have electric energy and Internet acscess.

Your pad is so dope

Now you just need to throw a "Disposable Vape Recycling" box downtown and get yourself unlimited crappy whoop batteries.

There is an amazing product for protecting exposed connections…it’s called electrical tape 😅

Bot you gotta get some liquid electrical tape, that shit is perfect for sketchy batts

Bro doesn't want vape on his finger's but is fine having it in his lungs. 🤣

Pretty sure that was Art Vandelay!

I went out and got my face tattooed today so I can use these batteries.

Awesome! 🔥

Cool Video One Love

Hobo skills lmao don’t forget those for when the lawyers and their minions take over the planet

@botgrinder u my freand make my day to day happy ❤

Hobo skills nice podcast Bot

6:50 me too 😅

Need a super low amp draw quad or better would probably be a tiny plane, these things are like 5c since the vape is probably only pulling 1 or 2 amps.

I know this video is some months old now, but I just have to agree with your statement "I hate people and public places". 🤜

You should of overcharged them to like 4.7 😂

Brilliant❤❤❤

Good shoe really good shōw

Good stuff Bot. Interesting info. Curious how the round ones did vs flat.
