Why is my vape charging from my bellybutton?

94 replies

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?

This is why I've name changed 🤣

Forgive grotty fingernails and even grottier trackies. I assure you I'm usually quite well presented but it's b/h Sunday and I've been cleaning the carpets. Such Fun.

But you can see the light on? This only happens when inhaling or charging.

Video is much better. Might sell it/myself to Elon.

I’m sorry but this image is making me gag. 1) I have a fear of belly buttons and
2) the thought of something being poked inside it. 🤢🤢🤢🤢 it’s making me feel quite funny.

My guess is that it's somehow detecting the small positive charge that skin naturally carries (from the body's electrolytes). In which case it should work on other parts of the body, so I'm not sure why it's only the belly button. Have you tried all over your body?

Sadly my 88vape pen is not working and I am very disappointed! This would be ideal when on a night out when the battery starts to go....

I’m feeling left out as I don’t vape, I love trying the ridiculous stuff that comes up on this site🤣

I’m wondering if electric toothbrush is the right shape and size😵‍💫 Might be a bit of a squeeze for smaller people but I’m on the larger size😳

You say it like you're joking but you're going to try it aren't you 🤣 as might I

I may try other crevices when I’ve had a shower. 😉

I can imagine my wobbly pasty belly in grotty trackies isn't a lovely image for anyone tbf!

But felt it necessary to spread the truth of belly button charging ports...

In the interest of science I tried belly, boobs and the weird cavity in my collar bone. The collar bone I have no conclusion on as couldn't see the vape light.
My devotion to science does not extend to any other body cavities

That's a disposable. Mine makes noises when I out it in my bra to go to the toilets at work 🤷‍♀️

Is the fear of bellybuttons that you think it might open up and be all jagged edges ?

Not disposable. Is Elfbar pro thingy you buy cartridges for.

Tbf I'm very impressed surprised that mumsnettery hasn't yet come out to tell me off for vaping.

Nah. Most do 🤷‍♀️

I think if your belly button is breathing you have a bigger problem TBH!

No but if you are breathing in and out and your belly is moving surely it's possible the vape reacts as if someone was sucking on it??

Desecratedcoconut · 05/05/2024 22:47

I've never even considered the potential of using my belly button as a kind of pen holder before and now I feel compelled to check if I have the charging station upgrade.

Hugosmaid · 05/05/2024 22:48

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@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.

snailpocalypse is my new favourite word.

EBearhug · 06/05/2024 01:53

@CentrifugalBumblePuppy I have some bedding plants hardening off before planting out and I too have experienced snailpocalypse. And I had been all ready to blame slugs instead. To be fair, snails are easier to pick off.

Have no useful vape info to add, though.

Mine charges too!! DH is babbling some scientific reason behind it (apparently your palm does the same thing!?) but I'm refusing to listen!

If you're not going to listen, can you ask him to post here?
