Step 1: Unbox the device
Remove the Alibarbar Ingot from its packaging and take off any protective cap or sticker on the mouthpiece and air intake. The device is already charged and filled, so there is nothing to assemble.
Step 2: Take a gentle draw
The Ingot is inhale-activated, so you simply put the mouthpiece to your lips and draw. Start with a short, gentle puff to gauge the airflow and flavour before taking longer draws.
Step 3: Read the display
Glance at the built-in LED display to see the remaining battery and e-liquid. This helps you plan a replacement before the device runs out mid-day.
Troubleshooting
If the device is not producing vapour as expected, try these quick checks:
- Take a slightly gentler puff because drawing too hard can trigger the auto cut-off
- Make sure the air intake is not covered by your fingers
- If the light flashes and there is little vapour, the device has likely reached the end of its life
FAQ
- Do I need to charge a disposable vape?
- Many disposables, including the Alibarbar Ingot 9000, come pre-charged and are non-rechargeable. When the battery or e-liquid runs out, replace or recycle the device responsibly.
