A common question we hear at iGetBaroz is: “Can I recharge my IGET vape, and how do I do it safely?” The answer isn’t the same for every model, so it’s crucial to know what you have in your hand.
Not all IGET disposable vapes are designed to be recharged. However, many of their popular modern series, such as the IGET Bar Plus, IGET ONE, and IGET Goat, come with a built-in USB-C port for convenient recharging, maximising the use of the e-liquid inside.
Here’s a straightforward, safety-first guide.
Step 1: Identify if Your IGET is Rechargeable
Check for a Port: Look for a small, covered USB-C port at the bottom or on the side of the device. If you see one, it’s rechargeable.
No Port? Traditional models like the original IGET Bar (without “Plus” in the name) are non-rechargeable. Attempting to open or modify them is not recommended and can be dangerous.
Step 2: How to Recharge (For Rechargeable Models)
Locate the Port: Find the small rubber seal covering the USB-C charging port. Gently remove or flip it open.
Use the Correct Cable: Always use the cable that came with the device or a standard, high-quality USB-C cable. Avoid using fast-charging bricks or car adapters meant for laptops/phones.
Connect to a Safe Power Source: Plug the cable into a low-power source like a computer USB port or a standard 5V/1A wall adapter. This is the safest way to charge.
Monitor the Charge: Most IGET devices have an LED indicator that lights up while charging and turns off (or changes colour) when fully charged. Do not leave it charging unattended or overnight.
Disconnect When Full: A full charge typically takes 30-60 minutes. Once the indicator shows it’s complete, unplug it immediately to preserve battery health.
✅ Pro Tip from iGetBaroz: Let the device sit for 5-10 minutes after charging before using it. This allows the battery to stabilise.
⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY WARNINGS ⚠️
Never Force a Charge: If there’s no port, don’t try to create one.
Use the Right Charger: As mentioned, low-power sources only. High-wattage chargers can damage the battery.
Do Not Use While Charging: This can cause the device to overheat.
Inspect for Damage: If the device is damaged, leaking, or gets hot while charging, stop immediately and dispose of it safely.
Dispose of Responsibly: Once the e-liquid is finished (even if the battery still holds charge), recycle the device at a designated B-cycle battery drop-off point.
What About Non-Rechargeable IGET Vapes?
If you have a single-use model, the best practice is to enjoy it until the battery or e-liquid runs out, then safely dispose of it. At iGetBaroz, we clearly label our products, so you’ll always know if you’re purchasing a rechargeable or non-rechargeable device. For the best value and performance, we often recommend rechargeable models like the IGET Bar Plus for their extended life and cost-effectiveness.
