Charging your IGET device correctly is crucial for safety, performance, and longevity. The method varies depending on the specific IGET model you own. This guide covers all common types, from basic disposables to high-capacity rechargeable devices.
1. Identify Your IGET Model First
Check the device body or packaging. Key identifiers:
Non-Rechargeable Disposables: Usually have no charging port. Models like the classic IGET Bar are designed for single use until the battery or e-liquid is depleted.
Rechargeable Disposables: Feature a USB-C or Micro-USB port. This includes IGET Bar Plus, IGET King, IGET XXL, IGET Hot, IGET Goat, and IGET E-HOOKAH series.
Pod Systems (e.g., IGET ONE): Have a removable pod and a rechargeable battery section.
2. Charging Steps for Rechargeable IGET Models
What You’ll Need:
Your IGET device.
A standard USB-A to USB-C or USB-A to Micro-USB cable (usually included with rechargeable models).
A low-power USB port (like a computer, TV, or a 5V/1A phone adapter). Avoid fast chargers.
Step-by-Step Process:
Locate the Port: Find the charging port, often concealed by a rubber plug or label on the bottom or side of the device.
Connect the Cable: Gently insert the correct cable into your IGET.
Plug into Power Source: Connect the other end to your low-power USB port.
Observe the Indicator:
Most models have an LED light near the mouthpiece or button that illuminates while charging.
Typical Behavior: Light is ON (red or white) during charging and turns OFF when fully charged. Some models may blink.
Charging Time: Typically 60-90 minutes for a full charge. Do not leave charging unattended or overnight.
Disconnect: Once the indicator shows charging is complete, unplug the cable.
3. Important Safety & Best Practices
✅ DO:
Use the recommended low-power (5V/1A) charger.
Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface.
Charge in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat.
Check the device for unusual heat during charging (slight warmth is normal).
❌ DO NOT:
DO NOT use fast chargers (QC 3.0, PD, etc.)—they can damage the battery.
DO NOT attempt to charge a non-rechargeable disposable IGET Bar. It has no port for a reason and doing so is hazardous.
DO NOT use the device while it is charging.
DO NOT pierce, disassemble, or expose the device to water.
4. Troubleshooting Common Charging Issues
No LED Light When Plugged In: Try a different cable and USB port. If still no light, the battery may be fully depleted or the device may have reached its end of life.
Device Gets Very Hot During Charging: Disconnect immediately. This can indicate a faulty battery or charger.
Not Holding Charge/Dieing Quickly: Disposable vapes have a finite lifespan. If a rechargeable model dies rapidly after a full charge, the battery is likely worn out.
Pro Tip: For guaranteed performance and safety, always purchase authentic IGET products from authorised retailers like iGetBaroz. Counterfeit devices often have substandard, unsafe batteries and incorrect charging circuits.
5. How to Know When Your IGET Needs a Charge
Draw-Activated Models: The vapour production becomes noticeably weaker, or the flavour diminishes.
Button-Activated Models: The LED may blink multiple times when you try to use it, indicating low battery.
Remember: When the e-liquid is finished, the device will stop producing vapour even if the battery is charged. It is then time to dispose of it responsibly.
By following this guide, you can ensure a safe and optimal vaping experience with your IGET device. For any further questions about your specific model, consulting your retailer is always recommended.
