It’s frustrating when your go-to IGET vape cuts out mid-session—especially if you’re relying on it for a quick break at work or a day out. As Australia’s trusted authorized retailer for IGET products, iGetBaroz (open in new window) regularly helps users diagnose and fix common issues with their disposable and rechargeable IGET devices. Below, we break down the most likely causes, step-by-step fixes, and when to seek support.
1. Battery Depletion (Most Common Issue)
Even high-capacity IGET vapes can run out of battery before the e-liquid is exhausted—this is especially true for heavy users or rechargeable models that haven’t been charged properly.
Non-rechargeable IGET models (e.g., IGET Bar Plus, IGET ONE): If your device produces no vapor and the LED indicator (if present) doesn’t light up, the battery is likely dead. It’s time to replace the device.
Rechargeable IGET models (e.g., IGET E-HOOKAH G1, IGET Mega): Check the USB-C charging port for dirt or lint blocking the connection. Use a dry cotton swab to clean the port, then charge with a genuine USB-C cable for 30–60 minutes. Avoid overcharging (don’t leave it plugged in overnight) as this can damage the battery long-term.
2. Clogged Airflow or Mouthpiece
Australia’s humid climates (think Sydney’s summer or Brisbane’s tropical weather) can thicken e-liquid, leading to clogs that block vapor production. Signs include hard draws or no vapor despite a charged battery.
First check: Peel off any protective plastic wrap from the airflow vents—many IGET models ship with this to prevent leaks, and forgetting to remove it will block all airflow.
Fixes:
Gently tap the device against your palm to dislodge trapped e-liquid or debris.
Blow softly through the airflow vents (not the mouthpiece) to clear blockages.
For stubborn clogs, use a small, clean toothpick to carefully clear the mouthpiece opening (avoid poking too deep to prevent damaging the atomizer).
3. Leaking E-Liquid Blocking Internal Connections
Leaks can seep into the battery or atomizer section, disrupting power flow or preventing the heating element from working. Signs include a wet mouthpiece, e-liquid on the device body, or a burnt taste.
Fixes:
Wipe the device down with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove excess e-liquid.
For rechargeable models, carefully disassemble the top section and dab away pooled e-liquid with a cotton swab.
Let the device air dry in a cool, dry place for 10–15 minutes before trying to use it again.
Note: Excessive leaking may indicate a manufacturing defect. If the issue persists, contact your retailer for a replacement.
4. Defective Atomizer (Heating Element)
If your IGET vape has a charged battery and clear airflow but produces no vapor or a burnt taste, the atomizer (heating element) may be faulty. This can happen due to manufacturing errors, especially in counterfeit products.
How to confirm: Try charging the device fully and unclogging airflow—if there’s still no vapor, the atomizer is likely the problem.
Prevention: Always buy genuine IGET products from authorized sellers like iGetBaroz to avoid counterfeit devices with substandard components.
5. Counterfeit Product
Counterfeit IGET vapes are rife in Australia, and they often stop working within days due to poor-quality batteries or atomizers. Signs of fakes include:
Blurry or misprinted packaging
Missing QR codes for authenticity checks
Inconsistent Option or a harsh burnt taste from the first use
Early battery death despite low usage
Solution: Purchase only from authorized retailers like iGetBaroz, which sources directly from IGET’s official Australian distributors to guarantee 100% authentic products.

The support team responds within 24 hours (business days) via email or the website’s live chat.

Prevention Tips to Avoid Future Issues
Store your IGET vape in a cool, dry place (avoid leaving it in hot cars or direct sunlight, which can damage the battery and cause leaks).
For rechargeable models, charge only when the battery is low (check the LED indicator if available) and use a high-quality USB-C cable.
Avoid dropping your device—impact can damage internal components like the battery or atomizer.
Always verify product authenticity using IGET’s official QR code checker before use.
