Do not take apart cigalike batteries and try to replace them. The batteries are actually more expensive alone than in an ecig for one thing. For another iirc 08400s aren’t 3.7v to begin with. They’re 2.2v.
08400 is 3.7V 180mAh, where do you found 2.2V battery which not exist.
Li ion or lipo batteries have 3.7V voltage.
To replace this battery is not a problem in 9.2mm e cigarette if you are professional in electronic.
To work with this batteries need to be very carefull of course.
I see that pen battery on eBay.
Some China manufacturers are very clever.
Instead of Li ion battery they put some kind of capacitor battery
which is useless. Capacitor type of battery will never replace real power of Lipo battery.
So is hard to buy some pen without to know what is inside.
Example is Shisha disposable pen on eBay, the description say that pen battery is 08600 Li ion, when you open this pen you see cheap capacitor crap inside.

But WHY would you?
You have already admitted that sourcing the replacement battery is difficult.

I was always told that cigalike batteries were 2.2v not 3.7v. Perhaps I was misinformed
If anyone could source a niche and obsolete lipo, it would be a professional in electronic.
If a professional in electronic can't reliably source it, I doubt others could.
All cigalikes I've encountered were 3.3-3.4 volt regulated or 3.7 volt.
You can not compare if battery is not available to some electronic professional skills.
This battery is available in China in quantity 1000 to 100.000 pieces which nobody needs at home.
Battery voltage depends on battery structure materials...
If you are measure 3.3V the battery was not fully charged. Full charged battery can reach 4.20V.
Just, ah, don't. Do yourself a favor.
Replacements are cheap, and like, it's not worth the hassle.
The best comparison I can make is like, trying to hold on to Q tips, rewashing them to reuse them, and we all know about the possibility of puncturing a ear drum (I have yet to meet anyone it has happened to, but it's probably less dangerous than the battery thing and just.... no.)
There are some things in life that really are disposable and I think the gear you have falls into that category. You aren't "saving" much other than a very cheap disposable housing and it's really to dangerous.
I'm kind of glad you can't find them for one, and even if you do, just don't.

If you reread my post, I referred to regulated, not raw batteries.
We talking about battery voltage not output voltage on e cigarette connector.
Hope it's worth replacing. Always seemed more like the circuit board died in these. Be harder yet to source that or the button, actuator, or threads. Good luck.
It's worth.
The price of X4 is 16,90euro.
The battery price was 2 to 3 USD at Hobbyking.
Pcb board die because of too late battery replacement. Sometimes battery liquid can reach the pcb board and cause failure.
These batteries start to leak when end of the life is near.

Great that you found some. Never tried them because they or their chargers seemed to just last a few months. Guess you've had a much better experience though. Good for you.
I never have problem with the charger.
Chargers are cheap and can easy be replaced.
The only problem is connector corosion when e liquid touch the surface.
