Many vapers are surprised to learn that some disposable vapes, including specific IGET Bar models, are actually rechargeable. This feature significantly extends the device’s usable life, ensuring you enjoy every last puff. If you’re wondering how to recharge your IGET Bar, this clear, safety-focused guide will walk you through the process.
First, Check if Your IGET Bar is Rechargeable
Not all IGET Bars are designed to be recharged. The standard IGET Bar (3500 puff) model typically does not have a charging port and is intended for single-use until the battery is depleted.
The following popular IGET series are rechargeable and feature a USB-C port (usually located on the bottom of the device):
IGET Bar Plus
IGET Bar BB3500
IGET King
IGET XXL
Look for a small USB-C port at the base of your device. If it’s there, you’re ready to recharge.
What You’ll Need
Your IGET Bar device (with a USB-C port).
A compatible USB-C cable. Most modern Android phone cables will work. The cable is often not included with the device.
A safe power source: A low-output USB wall adapter (5V/1A is ideal), a computer USB port, or a power bank.
Step-by-Step Charging Instructions
Step 1: Inspect the Device
Before charging, give your IGET Bar a quick visual check. Ensure the USB-C port is clean and free of any e-liquid residue or pocket lint. If the device is damaged or has leaked significantly, do not charge it.
Step 2: Connect the Cable
Gently insert the USB-C cable into the charging port at the bottom of your IGET Bar. There is no “right side up” – the USB-C connector is reversible.
Step 3: Connect to Power Source
Plug the other end of the cable into your chosen power source (wall adapter, computer, etc.).
Step 4: Monitor the Charging
Most rechargeable IGET devices have a small LED light near the mouthpiece or on the body that indicates charging status.
Light On (Red/White): The device is actively charging.
Light Off: The battery is fully charged.
Step 5: Disconnect When Fully Charged
A full charge typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Do not leave the device charging unattended for extended periods (e.g., overnight). Once the indicator light turns off, or after about an hour, disconnect it from the cable.
⚠️ Critical Safety & Best Practices
Use the Right Charger: Avoid fast chargers (e.g., for modern smartphones or laptops). A standard 5V/1A or 5V/2A USB wall adapter is safest to prevent overheating.
Never Leave Charging Unattended: Charge on a non-flammable surface and be present while the device is plugged in.
Do Not Use While Charging: For safety, avoid vaping from the device while it is connected to power.
Stop if There’s Heat: If the device becomes unusually hot during charging, disconnect it immediately in a safe manner and discontinue use.
One Charge is Enough: Rechargeable disposables are designed for one full recharge cycle to use up the remaining e-liquid. Repeatedly recharging a depleted device is not recommended and can affect performance and safety.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Device Won’t Charge?
Check that you are using a functioning USB-C cable and power source.
Ensure the charging port is clean.
The internal battery may have reached the end of its lifespan, which means it’s time to responsibly dispose of the device.
Device Tastes Burnt After Charging?
This can happen if the e-liquid has been depleted but the battery still has charge. The recharge function is meant to use the remaining e-liquid. If the flavour is gone or burnt, the device is empty and should be disposed of.
