Not everything in life needs to be financially worth it... If repurposing otherwise "disposable" resources brings them enjoyment and it's a reasonable time spent, why shouldn't they? Ultimately, it's not your storage space being used for this. Why not let them live?
This repurposing is of only one he owns and the novelty of reusing it will likely wear off within a couple of weeks as having an extremely weak web server is not particularly useful. It may not be my storage space but people in this site do have a higher chance of hoarding ewaste for no logical reasons and I'm hoping that pointing this out can help people realize that they don't need to hold on to every random gadget…
Making something out of it and getting a hit on HN would easily be 'enough' for me. Your replies read like you've had some personal issue with a hoarder. Digging into that may help you in the long run.

The plastic that holds the milk is not designed to be reuseable, and plastic wear down is a thing. But the battery inside disposable vape is designed to be rechargeable.
It's designed to be rechargeable due to economies of scale. It's cheaper for them to use rechargeable batteries in a disposable product I think they should be able to. They shouldn't have to purposefully have to break the recharging functionality to sell it.
how about making it less ... disposable? Make the battery replaceable, so you can use your own battery?

It's your fault for not putting CDN in front of it Really neat achievement, it'd stand out on your CV, make sure to always add it there, it'll spark a fun chat on interviews.
> It's your fault for not putting CDN in front of it That's no fun. The right answer is to distribute load across a cluster of 100 repurposed disposable vapes.
OMG, I love the idea
