How to Recharge IGET One Vape Without a Charger: Safety First, Alternatives Included
Critical Safety Disclaimer: The IGET One is purpose-built as a single-use disposable vape, equipped with a non-rechargeable lithium-ion battery that’s sealed within the device. Attempting to recharge it violates its design intent and poses serious risks—including battery swelling, e-liquid leakage, short circuits, or even fire hazards. We strongly advise against modifying or recharging disposable vapes, as this can result in injury or property damage.
That said, if you’re determined to attempt recharging (despite the risks), here are some unauthorised methods with explicit safety warnings:
1. Exposed USB Cable Method
What you’ll need: A USB-A cable (old, unused one), wire strippers, electrical tape.
Steps: Strip the outer insulation from the USB cable to reveal the red (positive) and black (negative) wires. Carefully pry open the IGET One’s casing (this will damage the device permanently). Locate the battery terminals (usually marked + and -). Twist the red wire to the positive terminal and the black wire to the negative terminal, securing them with electrical tape. Plug the USB end into a low-power charger (5V/1A max).
Risks: Incorrect wiring can short-circuit the battery, causing it to overheat or explode. Capacity may leak onto exposed wires, leading to electrical failure or chemical irritation.
2. Portable Charger with Alligator Clips
What you’ll need: A portable power bank, alligator clip test leads.
Steps: Open the IGET One’s casing to access the battery terminals. Attach the red alligator clip to the positive terminal and the black clip to the negative terminal. Connect the other end of the test leads to the portable power bank’s USB output (ensure the power bank is set to 5V mode).
Risks: Overcharging can cause the battery to swell or rupture. Loose clips may spark, leading to fires or burns.
