VapeCube

A vaping lounge in the US turned old GameCubes into water pipes and started calling them VapeCubes.

There’s a logic to it, actually. The GameCube’s been dead for twenty years—just garbage hardware collecting dust in thrift stores and garage corners. So someone figured, why not hollow one out and make it useful again? No romance about it, no preservation instinct. Just repurposing. The console becomes a prop becomes functional becomes something else. It’s stupid and clever at the same time, which is probably the only reason anyone actually did it.
