Brilliant! I have ZERO dexterity or technical skills, following this took me 5 mins to carefully disassemble, 30 minutes to charge and 3 minutes to put back together. Working like a charm now. Great work mate 👍🏻
Brilliant! I now have a reason why I have not thown my old crystal vapes away. I kept thinking there must be a use or way to reuse them. Now I have a good backup supply :D
My god, what did I do. 😐After tryng this with an "empty" one. It worked better than a brand new one and I threw honderds of them in the bin. Especially now that we cannot buy them anymore here in Holland.. Great hack, thx!
Wow, thank you! I had just bought one and dropped it and it stopped working. I was rather annoyed. But ive followed your video, found one of the pins had deattached and now it works again!
I’ve done this several times now, works well but with varying success. One thing I’ve noticed is that the flavour has not run out, but after charging and reinserting the battery there is a very burned flavour. Any ideas why this happens?
I do this all the time it’s safe. These manufacturers are scammers they make sure that the vapes have little to minimum charge so it can run out causing you to buy it all over again. What you don’t realise is that when you smoke the vapes, the battery runs out first leaving you with atleast 80-90% of liquid left which you end up wasting by disposing the vape. When I learned how to Hotwire vapes I realised, a 600 puff vape was actually a 2000 puff vape once fully charged. Just dont over charge otherwise the heat can cause the cotton to burn. I’d say around 3 minutes on charge is necessary.
I recharge mine all the time and get like 5 drags extra before they burn fully, most the eliquid has gone after 500 drags, the other 100 are just backup shite really
Can I just ask you two things in regards to the juice do you know a brand which is exactly the same as the pineapple ice that it comes with in the first places and also how many times can you repeat charging the battery???
*NO.* For anyone reading this. Do NOT recharge lithium vape batteries in a charger that does not have the correct voltage and charge amperage for the battery. The exact battery in this video is *not* suitable to charge with just any charger. The battery will overheat and bloat, then pop and start smoking just before being totally engulfed in flames. Lithium batteries can be small like the one in the video, but will still burn insanely intense and water does not help. Use the correct charger. It can burn your house down if left unattended.
@@joe962 Lithium batteries. LiFePO4 most likely. You need a dedicated charger. So not just any charger. Very important to check battery mAh and use a compatible charger for that specific battery. I am no expert. Look this up properly before trying. They really do burn or explode.
Yeah sadly this the downside with these cheaply mass made electronics. You need to be a whizz with a soldering iron to get these small parts back together again.
If anyone is watching this because they can't suck anything through their Crystal, it can be because of incorrect assembly. I had this problem today when I bought one. I disassembled it and found the felt circle between the cartridge and the battery was folded over a bit and blocking the airflow. After a few attempts, I got it to sit properly and now its working fine. I hope this helps someone!
For a split second i believe. im here to learn how to use these batteries for a uni project. but these are 3.7 v batteries, you can get away with a 5v charger but 100v is way too much, expect a nice flash and plenty of smoke
So in the video I talk about this and I mention that it depends on the battery. I've had some take about 15mins and the one in the video took over 20mins to fully charge. I honestly have no idea how this translates over to the USB cable method because there's other factors that would affect that such as power draw variances etc. While my battery charger is always a constant charge. Hope this helps.
And is there any way I can get a free one I am going thru some financial situation & cannot afford it and I have a lot off crystal bars that I want to recharge!!!
Does the xtar vc2 premium usb charger actually work for recharging crystal bars and the crystal pro max thx pls let me know also if you have any other of those charging devices you can give to me for free that work for recharging vapes!!
@@DaveWatkinsMusichi there, great video. I assume these are lithium ion batteries? Is that a lithium ion battery charger? Where do I get it? And what if i wanted to rejuvenate the liquid? What liquid do i use? Jusy ordinary nic salts?
Oh ffs. I see these types of videos all the time. Bro literally just get a pod system and some nic salt juice. Those are rechargeable and less of a hassle. way cheaper to buy a pack of coils than a new device whenever the battery dies.
You are right of course, but then again, I saved loads of my old crytal vapes with the mind of taking to the recycling centre at some point. My charger takes 4 batteries, so I am charging 4 at a time and it's saved me quite a bit in vapes. This was so easy to do, I was surprised.
He has told safe way. If they mess with it different way that's thier own issue. I did this and is was very simple and safe and charged until the light went green It's all low power an the chargers control when full. You are not getting no shocks or anything from this when used correctly. Like with anything, if you follow the directions exactly it works fine. Teenagers doing this will be better educated that liitle bit more and it's good for people to learn how to reuse and recycle.

Excellent! Glad it helped dude!
On topnof that, we can now buy Crystal liquid and now on top of recharging the batteries we can also refill the sponge inside.
@@user-ot7yt5ki8x how do you refill the sponge?
@@joe962just soak it

Thanks man just grab some old ones and it works bro thanks so much my guy
Cheers mate , video really helped out 👍
Respect! 10/10! Thank you for sharing this superb video!

I did the process but now i have to smoke it from the back side
Btw dont forget the rubber washer when putting it togetheryour led will light up but it wont make vapour
Amazing. Did this. Same cartridge last another day . Wow.
Great to hear!
What type of battery is it they use? I'm trying to find a battery charger but I'm not sure if just any will do
wow bro i didn't expect it to work but is workin better then the first time thank u ...
you rechargin the fuckon battery, wtf did you expect?
Thank you really helpful:)
You're welcome!
Wow, thank you! I had just bought one and dropped it and it stopped working. I was rather annoyed. But ive followed your video, found one of the pins had deattached and now it works again!
Glad I could help
what should i do if i dont have that charger is there a alternate way ?
Where you can find this kind of charger i feel my battery ended but there is still liquid
well i have a problem the black wire on the silver thing isnt connected anymore. What can i do to reconnect it?
does it work with any battery charger or does it have to be that specific one?
will ant xtar roket charger do or does it have to be a specific model ? if so could you detail, I can't find it in the description 😅
Great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
this is exactly what i needed thanks!

Hi mate, I couldn’t tell u abt the liquid but I can tell you that you can recharge it till it tastes burnt
Hello mate, are they essentially double AA batteries in the crystal vape then. Because I have a double AA battery charger only. Cheers.

ty lods
Pls do aa video on how to refill them pls
How do we refill the liquid...that's the key here
ive recharged mine but when i go to use it, it only works if i blow it and not inhale it? if you get what i mean. is there any fixes
Make sure the LED board is in the right way @ 8:40 he goes over this
600 puffs my ass... Died after half a day
They are a ripoff dude!
Its also a complete ripoff, if you have ever used a rechargable vape, 350mah is never, EVER sufficient to get 600 Puffs on any reasonable wattage....
Qual é a vantagem de se recarregar a bateria se não se tiver mais líquido/sabor?
you can just put other sabor from other vapes
there is oil for another 100 puffs for sure
Thanks g
Any time
If someone breaks the wire off the metal balls are they broken for good my 18 year old friend said can I ask u
Yeah sadly this the downside with these cheaply mass made electronics. You need to be a whizz with a soldering iron to get these small parts back together again.
@@DaveWatkinsMusic that’s sad
wait i have a harley bar with 9k puff if a do that shi i can use that shi again for a 3 weeks
If i accidentaly rip the piece that burns the liqiud how do i fix it
just buy a new one bro
You can remove the bottom cap without damaging it by just getting a small flat head screwdriver and pushing in the hole and it should just pop off
Same here i dont know what to do
I just prang it open with my teeth like a beer bottle 😂

thx for the info, bt i cant find the charger for it :(
My one is quite old. But XTAR do several newer versions I've seen on Amazon
Try looking for xtar Vc2 Premium Usb Charger

Ok so I took it apart, charged it, put it back together and now it only smokes from the bottom 💀🤣🤣 what in thee actual fuck?!
YEA BRO SAME WHAT DID U DO
@@sev2658 🤣😂 fuuuck knows bro
It does work but but the vape stays on afterwards
Will this work with 100v-240V battery charger?
For a split second i believe. im here to learn how to use these batteries for a uni project. but these are 3.7 v batteries, you can get away with a 5v charger but 100v is way too much, expect a nice flash and plenty of smoke
Hmm it works, but the vape tastes very burned now. Any ideas why this happens?
probably cause the luquid is sort of empty
Any Simpler Ways
I have done this but when after reassembly, it doesn’t work? Fully charged battery every thing is where it should be. Am I missing something?
yeah you are probably missing something
dont forget the washer
How do i charge it with an cable from android
dont mate bit dangerous, xtar rocket chrager only 8 quid on amazon
I once tried vape with my friend 😅😅
how long did it take to charge to 100%? i’m using a cut up usb so i want to know how long to do it for

awesome, you are very welcome dude!
@@btg9475 what did you plug it into as i did the same thing and it just isn’t charging at all
@@tec-9672 plugged it into a normal plug socket then just held the wire onto the black and red parts of the battery, where the golden connector is
8:48 whenever i tried this, shit almost went horribly wrong. Burnt smell and battery wire was completely gone by burn. This is dangerous.
I tried to recharge my battery in a similar charger, and the battery became incredibly hot in like 10 seconds. Probably did something wrong.
will any battery charger do?
yes
But my question is can you refill it with eliquid😂
What did you use to recharge the vape?
And is there any way I can get a free one I am going thru some financial situation & cannot afford it and I have a lot off crystal bars that I want to recharge!!!

Doesn’t it taste burnt when t take a puff
I did it it lights up but smoke doesnt come out what did i do wrong
yeah, like i have that charger shit at my house
pretty cheap on amazon and I use mine with other rechargable batteries for remotes. Havent had to care about batteries for years now.
I think I did sth wrong didn’t work
ugh icba anymore
Let me just show you a quick way to get popcorn lungs😂😂😂😂😂
Well done, you're ill-informed.. that was from a particular flavouring used a long time ago in some liquids that were not regulated.
It burnt my hand never again
or you could j buy a new vape...
You must be a the original manufacture😄
Yeah no think I'll just quit
Why not put a USB like Every other rechargeable disposable...makes no sense
Then you wouldn’t buy another one every other day…
