Disclaimer: IGET Bar disposable vapes are designed as single-use devices, and disassembly is not recommended by the manufacturer or trusted retailers like iGetBaroz (opens in new window). Tampering with these devices poses significant safety risks, including lithium-ion battery leaks, fires, or exposure to toxic e-liquids. Additionally, modifying or disassembling vapes may violate Australian product safety regulations. This guide is provided for informational purposes only—proceed at your own risk.
1. Critical Safety Pre-Cautions Before Attempting Disassembly
Battery Risks: IGET Bars contain lithium-ion batteries that can overheat, leak, or ignite if punctured, crushed, or short-circuited. Always wear nitrile gloves and work in a well-ventilated area.
E-Liquid Hazards: The e-liquid inside contains nicotine (in most models) and other chemicals that are toxic if ingested, inhaled in concentrated form, or contact skin/eyes.
Regulatory Notes: In Australia, altering disposable vape devices may breach the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) guidelines, which govern the sale and use of vaping products for nicotine delivery.
Warranty Void: Disassembly will immediately void any implicit or explicit product warranties, and reputable retailers like iGetBaroz will not cover damages from tampering.
2. Tools You’ll Need
If you still choose to proceed, gather these tools to minimize damage during disassembly:
Small flathead screwdriver or plastic pry tool (to avoid scratching or puncturing components)
Nitrile gloves (to protect skin from e-liquid)
Paper towels or a spill tray (to catch leaked e-liquid)
Safety glasses (optional but recommended)
3. Step-by-Step Disassembly of an IGET Bar
Note: This process applies to most standard IGET Bar models (e.g., IGET Bar, IGET Bar Plus). Some high-capacity models like IGET E-HOOKAH G1 may have different construction.
Step 1: Remove the Mouthpiece
Grip the mouthpiece firmly and twist counterclockwise while pulling gently. On some models, the mouthpiece may be glued shut—use the plastic pry tool to carefully wedge between the mouthpiece and the main body, applying even pressure to avoid cracking the plastic.
Step 2: Access the Pod & E-Liquid Reservoir
Once the mouthpiece is off, you’ll see the internal pod, which holds the e-liquid and coil. The pod is often pressed into the main body; use the pry tool to lift it out. Be cautious: residual e-liquid may spill out, so hold the device over a spill tray.
Step 3: Separate the Battery Compartment
The battery is housed in the lower half of the device. Look for small clips or seams where the battery casing joins the pod section. Use the pry tool to pry these seams open. Some models may use adhesive, so you may need to apply gentle, steady pressure to separate the two parts.
Step 4: Extract the Battery & Coil
Once the casing is open, the lithium-ion battery will be visible (usually a small, cylindrical cell). The coil is attached to the pod—pull it out carefully, as it may still be coated in e-liquid. Do not puncture or squeeze the battery, as this can cause a leak or fire.
4. Why iGetBaroz Advises Against Disassembly
As Australia’s trusted vape retailer, iGetBaroz prioritizes consumer safety and compliance. Here’s why we recommend avoiding disassembly:
Single-Use Design: IGET Bars are engineered to be disposed of after their lifespan to ensure consistent performance and safety. Reusing components (e.g., coils or batteries) can lead to poor flavour, reduced vapour production, or safety incidents.
Authenticity & Quality: Tampering with devices makes it impossible to verify their authenticity or ensure they meet safety standards. iGetBaroz sources 100% genuine IGET products directly from authorized distributors, so you can trust their performance out of the box.
Responsible Disposal: Instead of disassembling, Australian consumers should dispose of used IGET Bars at designated e-waste facilities to ensure batteries and e-liquid are handled safely.
5. Responsible Alternatives & Final Tips
If you’re looking for a more sustainable option, check out iGetBaroz’s range of reusable pod systems or high-capacity disposable vapes (like the IGET E-HOOKAH G1) that offer longer lifespans without the need for disassembly.
