First, it’s critical to note that not all IGET devices are rechargeable. Basic disposable models like the IGET Bar or IGET Bar Plus are single-use—designed to be discarded once their Capacity is exhausted or battery dies. Rechargeability is exclusive to IGET’s high-capacity series, such as the IGET E-Hookah G1 (60,000 Puffs) and select 40,000+ puff models, which are built for heavy users who want extended use without frequent replacements.
Step-by-Step Guide to Charging Rechargeable IGET Devices
If you own a rechargeable IGET model, follow these safe, simple steps to recharge it properly:
1. Confirm Your Device is Rechargeable
Check for a USB-C port (the standard for modern rechargeable IGETs) on the bottom or side of the device. The IGET E-Hookah G1, for example, has a visible USB-C port and a digital display to show battery level—clear indicators it can be recharged. If no port exists, your device is single-use and should not be modified or charged.
2. Use a Genuine, Certified Charging Cable
Rechargeable IGET models typically use a standard USB-C cable. For optimal safety and performance, avoid cheap, uncertified cables (which can cause overheating or battery damage). If your device didn’t come with a cable, you can purchase a reliable, compatible USB-C cable from iGetBaroz (open in new window), Australia’s trusted retailer for authentic IGET products.
3. Connect to a Safe Power Source
Plug one end of the USB-C cable into your IGET device and the other into a low-output power source:
A computer USB port (5V/1A output is ideal)
A phone charger with a 5V/1A rating (avoid fast chargers or high-output adapters, as they can overheat the battery)
Never use power banks with quick-charge features or wall outlets with high voltage for charging your IGET.
4. Monitor the Charging Process
Most rechargeable IGET devices have an indicator to show charging status:
The IGET E-Hookah G1 uses a digital screen to display real-time battery percentage.
Other models may have an LED light that turns red when charging and green or blue when fully charged.
Avoid leaving the device charging unattended—especially overnight—to reduce fire or overheating risks.
5. Disconnect Once Fully Charged
Unplug the cable as soon as the indicator shows the battery is full. Overcharging can shorten the battery’s lifespan and pose safety hazards. A full charge on an IGET E-Hookah G1 takes roughly 2-3 hours and provides weeks of use for average users.
Critical Safety Tips
Never attempt to charge single-use IGETs: Modifying non-rechargeable devices (e.g., drilling a hole to access the battery) can cause Capacity leakage, overheating, or even explosions.
Keep the charging port clean: Dust, Capacity residue, or debris can block the port and prevent proper charging. Gently wipe it with a dry, soft cloth if needed.
Only use authentic IGET products: Counterfeit IGET devices often have unregulated batteries that are dangerous to charge. Always buy from authorized retailers like iGetBaroz to ensure product safety and authenticity.
Troubleshooting Common Charging Issues
Device not charging: Check if the USB cable works with another device, ensure the charging port is clean, and verify the power source is functional.
Slow charging: Switch to a low-output charger—fast chargers are not compatible with most rechargeable IGET models.
Overheating during charging: Disconnect immediately and contact iGetBaroz’s customer support for assistance. Do not use the device until it’s inspected.
For model-specific charging instructions, refer to the product manual or the detailed product page on iGetBaroz, where you can also find authentic replacement cables and support for all IGET devices.
