Electronic cigarettes are probably not going to provide a platform for mobile games in the near future — except this one.
Using an eVic-VTC Mini electronic cigarette, an enterprising gamer managed to hack the personal vaporizer to play the popular mobile game Flappy Bird on the built-in OLED screen.
Balázas Bánk managed to use the upgradeable firmware to install a custom ROM of the game. The game is fully playable, and controllable using nothing more than a custom ROM and the existing hardware of the ecig.
If old school Nokia games are more your speed, Bánk also claims to have a working version of Snake.
