  1. Some disposable cigarettes are designed to be refilled, including many models produced by Naked, SMOK, Bad Drip, Hyde.[1] These types of rechargeable devices can usually be recharged at least a few times using a USB cable.
    • If you have already tried to recharge your disposable e-cig, but the battery no longer charges, you have probably used up all its charges.
    • If your disposable e-cigarette doesn't have a charging port (like Puff Bars), it's not meant to be recharged.[2]
  2. Technically, you can take it apart to manually charge the battery.However, this operation could be extremely dangerous.If the disposable cigarette was not designed to be recharged, it does not incorporate preventative measures to protect the battery from overcharging, which could lead to overheating, electric shock, burns and even explosions.
    • Not only is it dangerous to refill a disposable e-cig that isn't refillable, it's not even useful.Typically, by the time it takes the battery to run out, the cigarette will have run out of liquid.The risks aren't worth the chance of having a few extra puffs of horrible tasting burnt liquid.
    • Do not attempt to recharge the battery if you have no experience working with electronic components and if you are not fully aware of the risks.
  3. If you like the idea of ​​a disposable e-cigarette, but want to be able to refill it, go to a tobacco shop and ask about rechargeable models.If you want to recharge your e-cigarette, you might also consider upgrading to a complete rechargeable kit.These products are designed to be easy to use, they are refillable and you can use any flavored e-liquid or capsules you prefer.

  1. If your disposable e-cig is rechargeable, it should have a port where you can insert a charging cable.This is usually a micro-USB or USB Type-C port on the base.
    • If your cigarette didn't come with a charging cable, but has a charging port, you can usually use any micro USB cable, including the one that comes with most Android devices.Some rechargeable devices may have a USB-C port, but it is not very common in this type of product.
    • Micro USBs are rectangular ports measuring 6.85mm x 1.8mm.The USB Type-C ports have dimensions of 8.24mm x 2.4mm and are oval in shape.
  2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a standard USB wall charger.Charging can last from 30 minutes to 4 hours.While the cigarette is charging, do not leave it unattended and unplug it from the charger as soon as charging is complete.
    • Leave your device to charge for at least 30 minutes every two days.
    • If the battery doesn't charge, you can try cleaning the device's USB port using compressed air or a cotton swab lightly dipped in rubbing alcohol.Be sure to wait until the port is dry before connecting a USB cable to it.
    • If the battery still does not charge, it may have run out and you will need to purchase a new e-cig.

  1. A non-rechargeable e-cig is not designed to be recharged.Attempting to recharge the battery can cause electric shock, overheating and burns.The battery could also explode.It is also possible that disassembly will permanently damage the device.Continue at your own risk.
  2. To try to recharge the battery you need a couple of tools.They are the following:
    • Pliers
    • Red and black wires, or a USB cable (to be destroyed)
    • A USB wall charger or one for lithium ion batteries
    • Wire cutters
    • Wire stripper
    • Insulating tape
    • Alligator clips (optional, but recommended)
  3. To do this, use a pair of pliers to grasp the bottom cap of the device.Turn gently until the bottom cap comes off.The contents of the cigarette should slide out.
    • If the contents of the cigarette do not come out, you may also need to remove the mouthpiece on the top of the device.You can use pliers to remove the mouthpiece as well.
    • Be careful when removing internal parts.Wires and pieces can break easily.
  4. The battery will have a cylindrical shape.It will most likely have some red and black wires attached to it.
    • You may also want to check how much fluid is left in the tank.If there is no more, you may be able to add more.If not, it may not be worth trying to recharge the battery.
  5. If you are using a USB charging cable, you need to cut the USB plug from the end.Then look for a red and a black wire inside the cable.Remove the insulation from each to expose about an inch of bare wire.
    • If you are using regular black and red wire, make sure they are stripped on both ends so that about an inch of copper is exposed.
    • We recommend using a lithium-ion charger and its cables instead of a USB charger, as it is designed specifically for charging lithium-ion batteries.Furthermore, in this case it would not be necessary to ruin the USB cable.
  6. The battery may have a positive (+) and negative (-) sign on it, to indicate the polarity of each terminal.
    • Usually, the negative terminal is connected to the LED, while the positive terminal is connected to the tank.
    • If you see red and black wires connected, the black one is connected to the negative terminal and the red is connected to the positive terminal.
    • If you're using a USB cable, simply plug it into a standard USB wall charger or charging pad.
    • If you use red and black wires, you need to use a lithium ion charger.Connect the black wire to the negative terminal of the charger (it usually has a spring or coil).Then connect the red wire to the positive terminal.
    • Alligator clips can be used to connect the wires.However, you may need to use a separate clip or electrical tape to hold the red (positive) wire in place.
  7. To connect the red wire to the positive terminal of the battery you can use an alligator clip or electrical tape.Then connect the black wire to the negative terminal of the battery.
  8. Let the battery charge for a few minutes.It is recommended to leave it charging at intervals of 7-10 minutes.
    • Do not leave the battery unattended while it is charging.If you notice smoke or if the battery or cables start to overheat, unplug the charger immediately.
  9. Make sure you reassemble all the pieces correctly.After leaving the battery to charge for 10 minutes, try putting the cigarette back together to see if it works.If that doesn't work, try leaving it charging for another 10 minutes.If it still doesn't work, it means the battery cannot be recharged.
