Personally only trust the tried and tested batteries like the LG Chocolate and Samsung smurfs

Fairly decent 20A continous discharge, on the ecf forum https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/threads/mnke-18650.693238/
If it can be used in a mech mod its pretty safe to say it can be used in a regulated mod too.
To answer your questions directly on the assumption that these are in good working order and you believe the manufacture rating:
Guys these mnke batteries are they only for Mechanical mods? No the can be used in regulated mods as well.
I believe they are high drain. Depends on your definition of "high drain" these have a Continuous Drain rating of 20A.
Can it be used for vw/vw mods as well? You did not specify which regulated mod but it should work on most. At 1500mAh and depending on your vaping style they might not last very long though.
And now for the indirect answer.
Those batteries, brand new, have a continuous discharge (CDR) of 20A (although I would not really trust that) and a capacity of 1500mAh. I usually look at this table to check if the battery I want to use has been independently tested to verify the manufactures claims. A lot of people use this table as well. If it’s not on there or if it’s there and the tests shows a big discrepancy between the manufactures ratings and the test results then I tend to stay away from them. The 18650 MNKE in question is not on that list and having a 1500 mAh capacity means you are going to be changing those batteries out more often than a 2500/2600/3000 mAh battery.
Depending on your build and wattage used you are going to be carrying around a pocket full of these just to get you through the day. This is on the assumption of course that those cells are still in excellent condition or brand new. If they are not then I wouldn’t bother using them as they could pose a fire/venting risk. Getting them second hand as well could be risky. If this is your only option then the CDR is sufficient for most regulated mods. You have not mentioned with which mod you want to use this battery with.
At the end of it all I would say get a Samsung 25R or LG HG2.
*Edit: It seems that depending on when this MNKE battery was made, it could either be a 1500mAh or a 2000mAh battery.

Yes, certainly will, but as @Blu_Marlin said, won't last very long at 1500 mAh. That one does look well used though.
I will say that based on the specifications they are safe to use in the VTC mini. I will leave you with this though:
Lithium Ion batteries are volatile. There’s a reason that these batteries are used in vaping. They can discharge at a high current rating and have a high capacity rating for their size. The down side is that this chemistry is very volatile and you are, under the right conditions, literally holding a pyrotechnic device in your hand. Add that to a sealed mech mod and it becomes a potential pipe bomb. It is safer in a regulated mod where you have a the short circuit and low voltage protection by way of the electronics but if the battery has already been abused/damaged then it will probably vent eventually.
Guys. Apologies for hijacking this thread, but what do you think of the Samsung INR18650 30Q (3000mAh)? My father in law bought 2 pairs of these and asked me if he should bring a pair with for me from his trip down to CPT (lives in Germany). He is using them for a torch/camp light of some sorts.
I would use it either in my Sigelei 150w or Kooper Plus (if safe of course).

Thanks dude. I usually build duals at 0.3ohm and vape between 45 and 50watts. So these will work great for me.
Strangely, the manufacturer's CDR (continuous discharge rating) is 15A, whilst Mooch tested them at 20A. At 20A you are more than fine imo, but if you go with the manufacturer's specs caution should be exercised below 0.4 ohms.
Thanks, will keep that in mind.
Hi yes. I still have a set. They were the original sub ohm cell lol. I've pulsed them at 60A when I was young and stupid and they still holding up 2years on. Only downside is they are 1500mah
Which doesn't really give you much battery life in the new high power regulated mods.

The VTC Mini will display the amp draw with newer firmware updates, just keep an eye on the screen and stay within the battery's limit
MNKE's get lots of use in cloud comps, so they're made of tough stuff.
Generally regulated mods, are less demanding on batteries than cloud chasing builds on mech mods.
In other words, there are a much wider range of batteries that are "Safe" for use in a regulated mod, than there are for mech mods.

I use the 26650 version in a mech mod and it is a decent cell.You should be fine using your battery in a vv-vw mod.
It will give you a real time reading when you fire it
