Field guide · Lost vapes
Lost your vape? Look here first.
Nine places, in the order they usually turn up. Tick each one off as you clear it, so you stop searching the same jacket three times.

Where to look
Nine places vapes go to hide.
Picture the last pull and go stand there. Then look down, and under whatever is nearby.
Jacket, hoodie pouch, the tiny coin pocket on your jeans. Pat down yesterday's outfit too. It's on the floor, you know it is.
Between the mattress and the wall, inside the pillowcase, rolled up in the duvet cover. Strip it if you have to.
The gap between the seat and the console eats vapes for breakfast. Then the door pockets, cup holders and under the floor mats.
Every zip pocket, then turn it upside down and shake. The little laptop sleeve counts.
Office chair, gaming chair, the armchair nobody sits in. Run a hand down every seam.
Next to the sink, on the toilet tank, in the shower caddy. Yes, really.
The hamper, the washer drum, the dryer. If it went through a wash, don't charge it: a soaked battery is a hard no.
Text whoever you were with last night. Somebody has it, and somebody has been hitting it.
