Not all IGET vapes are created equal, and the most common point of confusion is determining which models are rechargeable and how to do it safely. This guide will walk you through the process, covering all rechargeable IGET series available in Australia.
Step 1: Identify If Your IGET Vape is Rechargeable
First, check your device. Only specific IGET series come with a rechargeable battery:
IGET Bar Plus
IGET ONE
IGET King
IGET XXL
IGET Legend
Important: The standard IGET Bar (with approx. 3500 puffs) is NOT rechargeable. Attempting to recharge a non-rechargeable device is dangerous and can cause battery failure.
Step 2: Locate the Charging Port
For rechargeable models, the charging port is almost always a USB-C port located at the bottom of the device. It is usually covered by a small rubber or silicone plug. Gently remove this plug to access the port.
Step 3: The Recharging Process
Follow these steps carefully for a safe recharge:
Use the Right Cable: Use a standard USB-A to USB-C cable or a USB-C to USB-C cable. Avoid using fast-charging blocks (like those for modern smartphones) as they can overwhelm the vape’s small battery.
Connect to a Power Source: Plug the USB end into a low-power source, such as a computer USB port, a TV USB port, or a standard 5V/1A USB wall adapter. A laptop USB port is often ideal.
Connect to Your IGET Vape: Insert the USB-C end into the charging port on your vape.
Check the Indicator Light: Most models will have an LED light that activates during charging:
Red Light: Typically indicates the battery is charging.
Green Light (or Light Off): Indicates charging is complete.
Charging Time: A full charge usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. Do not leave it charging unattended for extended periods (e.g., overnight).
Step 4: Safety Tips & Best Practices
Never Use While Charging: For your safety, do not puff on the device while it is plugged in.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Charge your device at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or hot cars, especially during the Australian summer.
Inspect Regularly: Before charging, check the device and cable for any signs of damage, moisture, or e-liquid leakage.
Do Not Overcharge: Once the indicator shows a full charge (or after ~90 minutes), disconnect the device.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Device Won’t Charge?
Ensure you have a rechargeable model.
Try a different USB cable and power source.
Check that the charging port is clean, dry, and free of e-liquid residue.
Device Gets Warm While Charging? A slight warmth is normal, but if it becomes hot to the touch, disconnect it immediately and let it cool in a safe place.
No Vapor Production After Charging? The device may have reached the end of its e-liquid capacity. Once the e-liquid is finished, a full battery will not produce vapor.
Where to Find Authentic Rechargeable IGET Vapes
For guaranteed authentic devices with clear instructions and full manufacturer specifications, always purchase from a trusted Australian retailer like iGetBaroz. They provide direct access to the entire range of genuine IGET products and can offer support for your device.
