I've seen Big Clive's musings on extracting rechargeable cells from these things as well. I've always wanted to give it a try, but somehow the apparently conscientious oiks in my neck of the woods don't seem to litter disposable vapes everywhere so I've never been able to get my hands on any significant quantity of them.

It's astounding that these things are made to just be thrown away. What an absurd amount of waste.

It's crazy that it's legal. And they are getting even cheaper! Around 2020 there were these tiny stick disposables that were about $12-14 but now you can buy massive 5000 'puff' dispos for $10! No wonder all the kids are addicted.
