As a trusted authority on disposable vapes in Australia, iGetBaroz (open in new window) wants to clarify a key question many users have: not all IGET Bars are designed to be recharged. Below’s a detailed breakdown to help you navigate charging for IGET devices safely and correctly.
Which IGET Models Are Rechargeable?
Most standard IGET disposable vapes (like the IGET Bar, Bar Plus, or ONE series) are single-use, non-rechargeable devices. These are engineered to last for their advertised puff count without needing a charge, and attempting to open or charge them poses serious safety risks.
However, ultra-high capacity IGET models—like the IGET E-HOOKAH G1 (60,000 puffs) and select premium lines available exclusively through authorised retailers like iGetBaroz—are designed with rechargeable batteries to extend their lifespan. These models feature a built-in charging port for convenience.
Step-by-Step Guide to Recharge Rechargeable IGET Bars
If you own a rechargeable IGET device (e.g., E-HOOKAH G1), follow these simple steps:
Locate the charging port: Most rechargeable IGET models use a Type-C port, typically found at the bottom of the device. It may be covered by a small rubber flap to prevent dust or Capacity leakage.
Use a compatible cable: Always use an official IGET charging cable or a high-quality, MFi-certified Type-C cable. Cheap, uncertified cables can damage the battery or cause safety issues.
Connect to a safe power source: Plug the cable into a standard wall adapter (5V/2A is ideal) or a reliable USB port. Avoid charging your device in extreme temperatures—like a hot car during Sydney’s summer or a freezing Tasmanian winter—as this can degrade battery life.
Monitor the charging indicator: Most rechargeable IGETs have an LED light that turns red when charging and green (or turns off) when fully charged. Charging time usually ranges from 1–2 hours, depending on the battery size.
Unplug once fully charged: Do not leave your device charging overnight or for extended periods, as overcharging can shorten battery lifespan or lead to safety hazards.
Critical Safety Tips for IGET Bar Charging
Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable IGET Bars: Drilling into the device, prying it open, or using external chargers on single-use models can cause battery leakage, overheating, or even explosion. Dispose of used non-rechargeable IGETs safely at a local e-waste facility.
Avoid counterfeit products: Many fake IGET Bars sold by unauthorised sellers claim to be rechargeable but use unsafe, unregulated batteries. Only purchase authentic IGET devices from trusted retailers like iGetBaroz, which sources directly from official distributors.
Inspect for damage: If your rechargeable IGET’s charging port is cracked, or if you notice Capacity leakage near the port, stop using and charging the device immediately. Contact iGetBaroz’s customer support for guidance on returns or replacements.
What If Your Non-Rechargeable IGET Bar Dies Early?
If your single-use IGET Bar stops working before reaching its advertised puff count, it’s likely due to a counterfeit product or a manufacturing defect. Authentic IGET devices from iGetBaroz come with a satisfaction guarantee—reach out to their support team (response within 24 hours for most queries) for assistance with returns or refunds.
