The PPE is just the residual life force that exists in all beings, i believe that vampire's just have more of it than others. I would think that having PPE is different than the ability to tap it and charge weapons with it. Also, most TW weapons require spells to recharge them. Now i haven't actually read the vampire kingdom book, but i would say that if they don't have any spells, they can't recharge it, and if they do, than they can be cause they have the ability to use their PPE for spellcasting.

Um TW gear doesn't require that a spell is cast on the item, just that the user has sufficient PPE (and the ability to direct it). The spell is already in the item, it just needs power.

I'm thinking that they should be able to use TW weapons, but most just choose to rely on their natural powers.
