The IGET Bar Plus is designed as a sealed, single-use unit for safety and reliability. It is not intended to be opened by the user. Tampering with the device can damage internal components, cause leakage, and poses significant safety risks, including potential battery failure.
However, if you need to access the interior for responsible battery disposal or are troubleshooting a non-functional device, follow this extremely cautious guide at your own risk.
⚠️ Critical Safety Warnings First
Do Not Pierce or Crush: Never use excessive force, stab, or crush the device.
Battery Hazard: The internal lithium-ion battery can catch fire or explode if punctured, short-circuited, or damaged.
Liquid Contact: The internal capacity may leak. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Irreversible Damage: Opening the device will permanently ruin it. It cannot be refilled or reused.
If You Must Proceed: Step-by-Step Instructions
Tools Needed: Small flat-head screwdriver, protective gloves, safety glasses, and a clean, dry workspace.
Step 1: Locate the Seam
Examine the mouthpiece end of the IGET Bar Plus. You will find a thin, circular seam where the outer shell meets the inner chassis.
Step 2: Gently Insert a Lever
Place the tip of your small flat-head screwdriver into this seam. Apply very gentle, steady pressure to pry the outer casing away from the inner assembly.
Step 3: Separate the Shell
Slowly work your way around the seam. The outer shell should begin to separate. Continue until you can carefully lift it off, revealing the internal tank and battery assembly.
Step 4: Handle Internals with Care
Inside, you will see:
A silicone seal holding the mouthpiece.
The central chimney connected to the tank.
The battery attached with wires.
The cotton-wicked tank containing the remaining capacity.
Step 5: For Battery Removal (Disposal)
If your goal is to remove the battery for separate recycling, carefully disconnect the thin wires soldered to the battery terminals using wire cutters. Place tape over the battery terminals immediately after cutting to prevent short circuits. Take the isolated battery to a designated e-waste or battery recycling facility.
The Responsible Alternative
Instead of opening the device, we strongly recommend the following:
For a Device That Seems Faulty: If your IGET Bar Plus is not working properly upon arrival, contact your retailer immediately. A reputable seller like iGetBaroz will have a support process to address genuine issues with authentic products.
For End-of-Life Disposal: Once the device is depleted, do not throw it in regular household trash. The entire unit should be taken to a local electronic waste (e-waste) recycling centre that accepts lithium batteries.
Need a Reliable Replacement?
If you are trying to open your device because it failed prematurely, it’s crucial to source authentic products from authorised retailers. Counterfeit or poorly manufactured devices have much higher failure rates.
