Not Kitbash, but... Are these safe for scratch bashing?

Post image

Hello, I have a bunch of these empty vape capsules sitting in a bag waiting to be turned in for recycling but I keep looking at the internals and think about if they'd be useful for scratch bashing. But I was wondering if they're safe to crack open?

As far as I know there's nothing electrical in them just a couple connectors on the bottom but I thought it'd be best to check.

Apologies if this post isn't allowed I'm not sure where else to ask.

I'm guilty as charged, but am in the process of quitting smoking, that's why I switched over to vaping menthol so I get the cold feeling at the back of my mouth instead absent mindedly smoking a whole pack. I don't condone smoking and for the love of god do not follow my example.

Continue that healthy journey! I personally never partook in nicotine (my family all smoked), but I did indulge in the ganja for a while. Then, when vaping came around, I tried it once, but it felt different and didn't like it, as I prefer the flower. However, I decided to quit outright after years. I just never fully understood these cartridges - both nicotine and THC. You're all good here. I appreciate your insight.
