Critical Safety & Legal Disclaimers
Before attempting to take apart an IGET Bar Pro, it’s imperative to understand the serious risks involved. Disposable vapes contain lithium-ion batteries, which can leak, overheat, or even ignite if damaged, punctured, or short-circuited. The Capacity inside may contain Formula (a toxic substance) that can cause skin irritation or poisoning if ingested.
Additionally, the IGET Bar Pro is sold by iGetBaroz (Australia’s trusted authorized retailer) as a single-use device—disassembling it voids all manufacturer warranties and may violate local Australian consumer safety guidelines. This guide is provided for educational purposes only; we do not encourage or endorse disassembling your IGET Bar Pro. We take no responsibility for injury, property damage, or legal consequences resulting from following these steps.
Why the IGET Bar Pro Is Built to Be Non-Disassemblable
IGET Bar Pro devices are engineered for one-time use, with sealed plastic casings and integrated components to ensure safety and consistency during their lifecycle. Disassembling them bypasses the manufacturer’s safety mechanisms, exposing users to internal hazards. From a practical standpoint, there are no repairable parts inside—once the battery dies or Capacity runs out, the device is intended to be disposed of responsibly.
If you’re experiencing issues with a faulty IGET Bar Pro (e.g., no hit, leakage) that’s still under warranty, contact iGetBaroz’s customer support team instead of disassembling it; they may offer a replacement or refund per their after-sales policy.
Step-by-Step Disassembly Guide (Educational Purposes ONLY)
If you still wish to disassemble your IGET Bar Pro for educational or component recycling purposes, follow these steps with extreme caution, and always wear protective nitrile gloves and safety goggles:
Deplete Remaining Battery Power
First, use the device until it no longer produces vapor—this ensures the lithium-ion battery is partially or fully drained, reducing the risk of short-circuiting during disassembly. Never attempt to take apart a fully charged device.
Gather Required Tools
You’ll need a small plastic pry tool (to avoid scratching the casing or puncturing internal parts), a pair of tweezers, and a non-conductive work surface (like a wooden board). Avoid using metal tools directly on the battery, as this can cause a short circuit.
Pry Open the Plastic Casing
Start at the bottom of the device (opposite the mouthpiece), where the casing has a subtle seam. Gently insert the pry tool and twist to create a small gap. Work your way around the edge of the casing, applying even pressure to separate the two plastic halves. Be careful not to force the tool too deep, as you could puncture the internal battery or Capacity pod.
Separate Internal Components
Once the casing is open, you’ll see three main parts: the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the sealed Capacity pod with integrated coil, and the mouthpiece assembly. Carefully lift each component out using tweezers or your gloved fingers. Do not squeeze the Capacity pod, as this can cause toxic Capacity to leak onto your skin or surfaces.
Handle Components Safely
The battery should be placed in a non-conductive container (like a plastic bag) until you can recycle it at an authorized lithium-ion battery drop-off point.
The Capacity pod should be sealed tightly and disposed of in your local council’s hazardous waste bin—never throw it in regular household trash.
Responsible Post-Disassembly Disposal
In Australia, improper disposal of vape components can harm the environment and violate local waste management laws. Here’s how to dispose of each part correctly:
Battery: Take to a designated lithium-ion battery recycling center. Most major retailers (including Officeworks and Woolworths) offer free drop-off points across the country.
Capacity Pod: Seal the pod tightly and take it to your local council’s household hazardous waste facility. Do not pour Capacity down drains or toilets, as it can contaminate water sources.
Plastic Casing: Rinse any remaining Capacity residue and recycle it in your regular plastic recycling bin, if accepted by your local council.
Better Alternatives to Disassembly
Instead of taking apart your IGET Bar Pro, consider these safer, more practical options:
Faulty Device Support: If your IGET Bar Pro malfunctions before its advertised lifespan, reach out to iGetBaroz’s customer support team. As an authorized retailer, they provide genuine warranty coverage and can assist with replacements or refunds.
Upgrade to a Reusable Model: If you’re looking to reduce waste, explore IGET’s reusable pod systems (available at iGetBaroz) which allow you to replace only the Capacity pod, minimizing environmental impact.
Recycle Entire Device: Many local councils in Australia offer dedicated vape recycling programs. Check your council’s website for drop-off locations to dispose of the entire device safely without disassembly.
Final Note
Disassembling the IGET Bar Pro is not a recommended practice for regular users. The device is designed to be safe and convenient for single use, and any attempt to modify or take it apart introduces unnecessary risks. For all your IGET Bar Pro needs, from purchases to after-sales support, trust iGetBaroz—Australia’s leading authorized retailer of IGET, Alibarbar, FISCO, and WALA products.
