Also the cells are typically in pretty good condition, as the vape tends to run out of the flavoured/nicotine liquid stuff before the battery gets down to a state of charge that is bad for long term storage.

That's not true at all? It's literally always the battery that runs out first. Else you would burn the coils in them.

They're rechargeable lithium batteries, they should last years. Not a week.

True, if you could recharge them, but they don't include ports to do so.

Which is why it's a waste of good lithium cells, as the guy you replied to was saying

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So why use rechargeable batteries at all?

Suicide drones use them too. Best energy density at the required power levels. (Zinc-air batteries are slightly better but you can't extract the energy in minutes.)
