Nah, these have electronics inside, and appeal to teens with their fruit flavors (which are banned in cigarettes in most countries). I took some apart, they are terribly wasteful, especially when all you need to make them reusable is sell the wool cartriges or liquid and add a $0.30 charging port and a $0.20 charging chip on a $0.10 PCB. The battery is already rechargeable!!

I’ve actually been collecting reusable capes to pull out the batteries and convert them into powerbanks, crazy these are bing tossed after a single charge. Some of the batteries are pretty big too!
Did you find any with actual 18650s? Those are most useful in “DIY powerbanks”. Just remember to add fuses, the chip could go short circuit!
