Steps to Hit a Vape Cart without its Charger
Warning: You wanna ignite or hit your vape without its charger, but you got to know that, this is literally a risky process. So, you have to go forward with your own safety and risk factors. Also, follow the steps properly without skipping any part. Skipping may lead to a failure with issues and damages to the device and body.
Step 1 – Cut the wire
In the very beginning, take the cable, it can be your unused USB cable or lightning cable. Sometimes we leave android or apple chargers for issues, even when the cable is okay. You can use that.
You need to cut it around 2 to 3 cm from the end, which will reach the USB point of the cart. Use your wire stripper tool for a precise cut-off.
Step 2 – Exposing the Cable
Cutting the cable off, the four main core wires will be revealed to you. There will be a green, a red, a black and a white wire.
Safely remove the white and green wires so that, the other two wires don’t get interrupted. Take the black and white wires out of the cable completely.
Step 3 – Detach the red and black
You can now find that the ends of the red and black wire are connected. And you need to strip them and detach them from each other. The wire stripper will do the duty here. Precisely remove the coating of the wire and expose them.
Step 4 – Finalize Connection
On the bottom of your vape cartridge, you may find a hole. Connect it to the black wire. And then, connect the red wire to the cart’s metallic body.
Next, connect the charger to the power source and you are done.
For some devices, you may not see any instant reaction. But within a few minutes, the cart starts producing vapors being hot.
But the process is easier with some precaution and confusion. Well, so many general users are still confused, if the process is safe or not. What is the risk of hitting your vape without a battery?

Is Hitting Your Vape Without Batter Or Charger Is Safe?
Actually, no device is completely safe when you are operating that with some authorized handles. When your vape cart is damaged, maybe the battery is gone, or the bottom piece of the cart came off on the pressure, or crack in the cart and no trick is working on it.
There are different ways to hit your vape cart without a proper charger or capable battery, tricks are different and their risks are also different.
As your device is peeled off, it doesn’t have a battery capability, and meantime, you are connecting it with third-party wires and non-sealed cables. It may make the product work but there is a certain risk of short circuit if you don’t set it up properly.
A short circuit may damage the device, and also give you a bad experience by burning the coil.
Precautions and Safeties for the Process
- As you are using without a battery with direct power, there is a high risk of having shock.
- Sealing the wire connections with cello tape may save you but that is not a permanent solution.
- Wearing rubber slippers may be effectively active safety gear for you.
- Also, water can conduct electricity and make situations like electric shocks. So, going with the processes with wet hands should be avoided.
- Sometimes, Users skip different parts of the steps and procedures. As a result, they set the wrong wires in places which may create no hitting and sometimes fire and sparks.
- Also, one last thing you need to remember is that, there are different tricks on the internet, about how you can hit your vape without a charger, battery or without pen and so many weird assumptions. Not all of those are properly tested and abided by safety cautions. You may find these kinda tricks like how to make wires for carts, how to smoke cracked cartridges etc. But there is not so many reliable tricks about how to hot wire the cartridge. You may find them useful completely or partially, but they can be risky sometimes.
Now, in conclusion, take a few words in concern, hitting your dab pen without a charger is tricky, but you have to assure safety first. Using a USB, android or iPhone charger will help you but you should be aware of the quality situation of the cable.
