Not all IGET disposable vapes are rechargeable—only high-capacity models designed for heavy users feature rechargeable batteries. Below is a clear, safe guide to charging your IGET, along with key notes to avoid damage or safety risks.
1. First: Confirm Your IGET Is Rechargeable
Only select IGET models come with rechargeable batteries. These include:
IGET E-HOOKAH G1 (60,000 Puffs)
IGET Mega (18,000 Puffs)
IGET King (10,000 Puffs)
IGET Bar Max (5,000 Puffs)
To check: Look for a USB-C port (usually on the bottom or side of the device) or verify the packaging explicitly states “rechargeable.” Standard disposable IGETs (e.g., IGET Bar 3500 Puffs) are not rechargeable—attempting to charge these can cause battery leaks, overheating, or fire hazards.
2. Step-by-Step Charging Process
Follow these steps to safely charge your rechargeable IGET vape:
Locate the USB Port: Flip the device to find the small, covered USB-C port (some models have a rubber dust cover to protect it).
Use the Right Cable: Use a genuine USB-C to USB-A cable (avoid damaged or uncertified cables). Most rechargeable IGETs come with a cable in the packaging, but if lost, use a high-quality third-party cable rated for 5V/2A or lower.
Plug Into a Safe Power Source: Connect the cable to a low-power adapter (e.g., a phone charger with 5V/1A or 5V/2A output) or a computer USB port. Avoid fast chargers (over 2A) as they can damage the battery.
Monitor the Charging Light: A red indicator light will turn on when charging begins. Once fully charged (usually 1–2 hours), the light will switch to green or turn off entirely.
Unplug Immediately: Do not overcharge the device—unplug it as soon as it’s fully charged to extend battery lifespan.
3. Critical Safety Tips for Charging IGET Vapes
Never charge non-rechargeable IGETs: Disposable models lack the internal safety mechanisms for charging; opening or modifying them is extremely dangerous.
Avoid extreme temperatures: Do not charge your IGET in direct sunlight, hot cars, or freezing conditions (below 0°C or above 40°C), as this can damage the battery.
Don’t leave unattended: Always monitor the device while charging, and never charge it overnight or while sleeping.
Inspect for damage: If the port or cable is cracked, frayed, or corroded, stop using it immediately to prevent short circuits.
4. Troubleshooting: If Your IGET Won’t Charge
If your rechargeable IGET fails to charge:
Check the USB cable and port for dirt, lint, or damage (use a soft brush to clean the port gently).
Try a different power source (e.g., switch from a wall adapter to a computer USB port).
If the issue persists, contact the support team at iGetBaroz (Australia’s trusted IGET retailer) for assistance with authentic product replacements or warranty claims.
Remember: Only purchase genuine IGET products from authorised sellers like iGetBaroz to ensure you’re getting safe, high-quality devices with proper charging capabilities.
