Hardware Reincarnation: Vape Synthesizers Workshop
📅 Saturday, February 7, 2026 at 5:00 PM
RSVP https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hardware-reincarnation-vape-synthesizers-workshop-tickets-1981545579169 Come to this small group workshop to turn discarded electronic vapes into small synthesizers and learn about global repair culture.In this workshop participants will build simple audio synthesizers using recycled disposable vapes. Participants will leave with an understanding of disassembling vapes for parts and constructing an analog noise making circuit. Together we will review the necessary circuitry, and make breadboard variants inspired by the work of Forrest Mims in his "Timers Op-Amp's and Optoelectronic Circuit. We'll also discuss opportunities for further experimentation and creative adaptations for both vape components and synths inspired by global traditions of resourceful making including gambiarra (Brazil), jugaad (India), Shanzhai and Lajilao (China), and shared ethos with community-based workshops like: NYC Resistor's "Grab the Guts: Salvaging Electronic Parts from Street Trash" and "Use Those Guts: Building from Salvaged Components" seriesDisengineering Society's "Vape Mic" workshop, where disposable vapes are salvaged and repurposed into functional microphonesNo experience necessary. Participants will be provided vapes and all necessary electronics. Who is this workshop for: Anyone curious about transforming discarded electronics into creative toolsArtists and technologists working with electronics and soundDesigners and makers interested in sustainable practices and material reuseResearchers exploring alternative design methodologiesAbout the Instructors: shuang cai, Kari Love, and David Rios, are all New York City-based creators working together as Paper Bag Team. They make projects that blend applied technology, art, and craft, while evoking a sense of fun and surprise. They met working at NYU ITP and began collaborating on an overlapping interest in making salvage parts more accessible to use and educating folks about how disposable vapes became an outsized source of e-waste. They gave a talk about the Vape Synth at Open Hardware Summit 2024. This is a masks optional event.
