How to Recharge IGET 1: A Step-by-Step Guide (With Safety Notes)
First, it’s critical to confirm: Not all IGET 1 models are rechargeable. Most basic IGET disposables are designed for single-use and lack a charging port—attempting to open or recharge these can lead to battery leaks, overheating, or fire risks. However, if your IGET 1 is a rechargeable variant (identified by a visible USB port, usually at the bottom of the device), follow these safe steps to recharge it:
Locate the Charging Port: Turn the IGET 1 upside down. The charging port (typically Type-C or micro-USB) may be covered by a small rubber dust cap—gently peel this back to access the port.
Use a Compatible Cable: Grab a certified USB cable that matches the port type. Avoid using damaged cables or unbranded fast chargers, as these can damage the device’s battery.
Connect to a Safe Power Source: Plug the cable into a 5V/1A power adapter (a standard phone charger works well) or a USB port on your computer. Avoid high-voltage fast chargers, as they can overload the battery.
Monitor the Charging Indicator: Most rechargeable IGET models have an LED light that changes color when charging. For example:
Red = Charging in progress
Green/Blue = Fully charged
Disconnect Once Charged: Unplug the cable as soon as the indicator shows full charge. Never leave the device charging overnight or unattended to prevent overheating.
Critical Safety Precautions (From iGetBaroz’s Expert Team)
Never Recharge Non-Rechargeable Models: If your IGET 1 has no visible charging port, it’s a single-use device. Opening it to access the battery is extremely unsafe and violates product safety guidelines.
Avoid Damaged Devices: If your IGET 1 leaks e-liquid, feels abnormally hot, or has a cracked casing, stop using and charging it immediately. Dispose of it at an authorized e-waste facility in Australia (check your local council’s guidelines).
Authenticity Matters: Counterfeit IGET 1 models often have faulty batteries that pose higher charging risks. Always purchase your IGET products from trusted retailers like iGetBaroz (open in new window) to ensure you’re getting genuine, safety-tested devices.
If you’re unsure whether your IGET 1 is rechargeable, refer to the original packaging or check the product specs on the iGetBaroz website for clarity. For more tips on IGET device care, visit our YouTube channel here (open in new window).
