The problem is these vapes are usually made really difficult to crack open. A lot of vape stores around me are taking them back now to recycle for you but still.

Huh? A hammer will take care of that easy peasy. Good chance someone will figure out a way for a machine to break them open and sort out the battery from the rest or just have people smacking them with hammers or mallets.
