Introduction
Disposable vapes are inexpensive, easy to use, and convenient on the go, making them a perfect go-to choice for many vape enthusiasts.
However, some users find that their disposable vapes still have a lot of e-liquid when the battery is dead. It would be a waste to throw it away. That’s why so many users are trying to recharge their disposable vapes.
If you also have the same questions about how to recharge a disposable vape, you’ve landed in the right place. This article will teach you simple instructions to get it done.
What You Should Know Before Charging
There are two varieties of disposable vape devices: rechargeable and non-rechargeable. Charging a rechargeable disposable vape with a standard micro-USB cable is easy. However, it could be dangerous to charge a non-rechargeable vape, and it may not work after setting.
Therefore, we do not recommend charging a non-rechargeable vape. The instructions we provide are only for educational purposes. Proceed at your own risk.
How To Tell Non-Rechargeable Vape & Rechargeable Vape
Not all disposable vapes are rechargeable. Here are two easy ways to tell if your disposable vape is rechargeable.
If it mentions “rechargeable” or “reusable” or comes with a micro-USB cable, your disposable vape is rechargeable.
Typically, rechargeable vapes have a built-in USB port on the bottom connecting the device to a power source.
How To Recharge A Disposable Vape
Is IGET Bar rechargeable? The answer is no. The IGET Bar 3500 Puff is a popular disposable vape among smokers, and many users wonder how to recharge an IGET Bar Vape. Therefore, this section will take IGET Bar as an example to teach you how to recharge a disposable vape.
Check the IGET Bar Vape review for more detailed features and honest thoughts.
Also, recharging a disposable vape without a charging port requires disassembling the device. Once you open it, the warranty will be invalid. Proceed at your own risk.
- A disposable vape (example with disposable vape IGET Bar)
- A pair of pincers
- A charging cable
- A socket
Make sure the socket has short circuit protection to prevent potential electric shocks. Wear insulated gloves if needed.
Before disassembling the disposable vape, you need bare wires to charge the battery. No matter what kind of charging cable you have, Apple, Android, or Type-C chargers, use scissors to cut its end and peel the insulation until you can see the internal coloured wires.
There will usually be four wires inside: the red, orange, or yellow wire is the positive power wire, while the black or blue one is the negative power wire. The remaining white and green wires are used for data transmission.
To open IGET Bar, use pliers to hold the bottom and gently rock it side to side to pull out the bottom cap. Once you open the bottom, you’ll find the whole heating system connects to the bottom cover with one red wire and one blue wire.
Gently take them out and remember not to damage the internal structure.
The heating system inside of an IGET Bar comprises two parts: a battery and an e-liquid tank.
The blue, cylinder-shaped one is the IGET Bar’s battery with red and blue wires attached.
Identify the positive and negative terminals on the battery. The blue wire at the top of the battery connects to the negative terminal, while the red wire at the bottom connects to the positive terminal.
Match the colours of your DIY charging wires with the battery: red to red for the positive terminal and blue (or black) to blue for the negative terminal.
Once the wires connect to the battery, plug the other end of the DIY charging cable into the socket and turn on the power.
Typically, charging most disposable vapes fully takes about 5-10 minutes. During charging, you can connect the wires using an alligator clip or electrical tape.
After charging is complete, attach the original wires to the battery and put it with the e-liquid tank back into the disposable vape device. Assemble the bottom cap to the body and try to use it.
If it doesn’t work, repeat the above steps to recharge it again. If it still doesn’t work, it may be due to a charging failure or the battery was damaged during the process.
In this case, it’s an informed choice to dispose of it according to the manufacturer’s instructions and buy new IGET Bars online.
How To Charge A Rechargeable Disposable Vape
If your disposable vape is rechargeable, we will take the B5000 IGET Vape as an example to teach you how to charge a rechargeable vape.
- Your disposable vape (example with B5000 IGET Vape)
- A charger
- A micro-USB charging cable
- A socket
Generally, a rechargeable disposable vape should have a micro-USB or USB Type-C charging port on its bottom. If your vape didn’t come with a charging cable, a micro USB cable that comes with most Android devices can be used for charging.
Connect the charging cable to the charging port on the bottom of the device, and plug the other end of the cable into a compatible charger.
After connecting the charger to the socket, you can turn on the power and start charging. The optimal IGET B5000 charging time is 30-60 minutes. The recommended charging duration varies from device to device. Please refer to the product manual for details.
You can see the LED indicator light of the IGET Vape 5000 turn on when it starts charging. It blinks 15-20 times when the device is connected to the power supply successfully.
Upon full charge, the IGET Vape 5000 Puffs’ LED light blinks thrice and disconnects. At this point, you can stop charging.
Is Recharging A Disposable Vape Bad?
If your disposable vape is not designed to be recharged, it is risky to do so and could lead to potential dangers.
Is IGET Bar safe for charging? Although we’ve provided IGET Bar instructions on charging, there is no denying that charging it may damage the device permanently, make it unusable, or cause injury.
But rechargeable vapes with overcharge protection are safe to charge and can be recharged at least a few times using a USB cable.
Therefore, identify if your disposable vape is rechargeable when out of the battery. If not, it is advisable to snap on a new one rather than recharge it for safety.
How To Make A Disposable Vape Work After It Dies?
Open your disposable vape device to check your e-liquid level. If the liquid remains in the cartridge, drip a few drops onto the atomiser. Your dead disposable vape will usually work again.
If there is no e-liquid left, you will have to discard it and snap on a new disposable vape.
When you notice your disposable vape’s LED blinks, you’ll know your disposable vape is out of battery. Charge it for 1-2 hours with a compatible charging cable if it is rechargeable.
However, it’s not recommended to recharge a non-rechargeable disposable vape.
Verdict
With the prevalence of disposable vapes, many vapers try to cut down on the expense of buying new devices by recharging their vapes. However, how to recharge a disposable vape needs to be clarified for them.
Rechargeable disposable vapes come with built-in USB ports, making them rechargeable by simply plugging them into a power source. However, charging a non-rechargeable vape requires disassembling the device to charge the battery inside, which could be less convenient and risky.
Rather than charge a non-rechargeable disposable vape, it is recommended to snap on a new device at the IGET official website, which offers a wide range of disposable vapes, including rechargeable vapes and non-rechargeable vapes.
