Why is my vape charging from my bellybutton?

Name changed incase I make the bad decision to post video of proof!!

I'm lying on bed and, as you do, rested my vape in my belly button! And it started charging/lighting up.

In the interest of science I have tried it on other parts of body, including the copious belly fat and it does nothing.

Why is my belly button a charging point?

And can I post the video?

Just to add, I am not insinuating you have a very sweaty belly button!

TheIceQween · 05/05/2024 15:23

Whatever the reason, it’s a fuckin fantastic new party trick 🥳

TheIceQween · 05/05/2024 15:23

You got a different vape to try?

GHSP · 05/05/2024 15:27

I hate to be indelicate, but are you sure you haven’t got one of those wireless chargers up your foof?

Or it could be like those potato-powered clocks the kids have, that your belly button is a repository for mildly acidic sweat. If you have a metal belly button piercing which is a different metal to the contact on the bottom
of your vape then you are creating a basic battery, and it works because science.

You're definitely an android. I'd recommend you delete this post quickly before a higher power realises you know and tries to take you out.

Mine does it too!! The green light means charging!

This is life changing information.

Also excuse nails, been painting…

Maybe the salts in belly button sweat are acting as a conductor & completing the circuit, hence why the charge light is on?

I’d stop doing it in case the phenomenon is causing the battery to short circuit, lithium burns are brutal.

And it’s hard to put fires from the fuckers out lol. Put water on them, and the resulting purple flames, though rather lovely, tend to go with a bit of a kaboom.

Would rather put a dampener on your Sunday afternoon!

This hypothesis may be complete bollocks (I have ‘electronics engineer’ on my marriage certificate, although started off life training as a drama teacher rofl).

Oh wow have I posted on a national website that I have a sweaty belly button?

Presumably it’s some kind of fault with vape that makes it light up when held a certain way?

pinkwaterbottle9 · 05/05/2024 16:26

Try a different vape

TheIceQween · 05/05/2024 16:28

@VapeMiracle @MagicBellybutton just tried mine… I’m feeling very left out 😆

CentrifugalBumblePuppy · 05/05/2024 17:27

@VapeMiracle LOL! No, you’ve probably got a normally moist bellybutton.

Unlike mine today, which after a hot afternoon of replacing the runner beans thanks to a snailpocalypse, probably now resembles Shrek’s swamp.

Cas112 · 05/05/2024 17:39

Bet so many people have read this thread and tried this today😂

RobinGet · 05/05/2024 17:40

Just tried it and the light comes on briefly. That’s my bank holiday entertainment sorted!

EmmaEmerald · 05/05/2024 17:45

Oh wow
From now on, all vapes must be made cylindrical and a size that fits a belly button.

Ain't no one gonna pay for square or rectangle shaped ones now!

Also, vapers with outie belly buttons are going to have to be best friends with innie belly buttons.

<awaits influx of new friends> 😂😂

Waitingfordoggo · 05/05/2024 17:49

Waaaah, I can’t try it with mine ‘cause it’s a big cuboid and the charging port is on the side. 😕

pinkwaterbottle9 · 05/05/2024 18:13

@RobinGet omg I need to get rid of my box shaped one and try a round one

PanickyBill · 05/05/2024 18:22

I'm now laid on the settee whilst DH is placing his vape on my bellybutton. It's not working. He is on the phone to his mate John telling him to 'stick your vape in your lasses bellybutton' Grin

Brilliant 😂😂😂

I don’t think anyone has ever done this!

I wouldn’t even think to put a vape in my belly button!

Loving the thread though!

Riapia · 05/05/2024 19:21

Mine doesn’t do it.
Thinking about it I’ve been feeling a bit rundown lately.
Must get a GP appointment.

VapeMiracle · 05/05/2024 19:23

I've just showered and took special attention drying belly button - I'm still lighting up so pleased to feed back its not because I had super belly button sweat!!
