If you are an avid vaper then you must be aware of the frustration when your Vuse vaper runs out of battery, and you are not able to find the charger, or maybe it is damaged or maybe you are out-of-station and you forgot to take the Vuse charger with you.
What do you do?
How do you charge a Vuse without a charger?
Luckily, there are multiple ways to charge your vape without a charger, however, not all of them are safe, let us put that out first. There have been multiple instances where vape batteries have exploded when connected with an inappropriate charger.
If your Vuse vaper comes with a micro-USB charging port then you are lucky, you can use any micro-USB charger that’s available around you, maybe borrow from someone, or buy a new one. However, some of the Vuse models do not have a micro-USB port, so the question remains: how do you charge a Vuse without a charger if it does not have a micro-USB port?
To charge your Vuse you can use any Android or an iPhone charger and cut its charging port to reveal its internal wires (red and black) and directly connect those inner wires to the charging area of your Vuse. Your Vuse’s charging light will turn green and confirm that the vape is charging. We will discuss this in detail further in the article.
However, be aware of the consequences this method could potentially have. The Vuse vape battery might explode. Not to mention, that you will be destroying a good and healthy charger.
But…
There is a way that does not include cutting any chargers or messing with open wires. What is it?
Know it at the end of the article!
Can I Charge My Vuse Vape with a Phone Charger?
Yes, you can charge your vape with any of the android chargers or iPhone chargers if the chargers have a micro-USB and your vape model supports a micro-USB port.
However, another way of charging your Vuse without a charger is you can split open the charger’s charging port and expose its inner wires.

Now, connect the USB port to a power adapter and plug the adapter into the electric board and turn on the switch. Once the current starts flowing you can connect the red and black wires to the charging port as shown in the image below.
Once properly connected, you will see the charging light turn on and let you know that your vape is charging.
In case, you don’t have a phone charger available to you, you can go to a gadgets store and buy any portable charger, AUKEY 26500mAh Portable Charger is one of the best electric gadgets that you can purchase for under $100.
However, there are some things that you should keep in mind while you charge your Vuse without a vape charger, some of them are:
- In case there are other wires inside your charging cable – like green and white – then you need to cut them out, we don’t need them, we only want red and black
- Do not touch the naked wires when connecting the wires to the vape
- If you feel the vape is heating up, stop the charging at once
- There is a risk that the battery might explode, as there have been various instances where people connected an inappropriate charger to the vape and the battery exploded, PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND!

Connect the Vuse’s proprietary charger to a power source (electric board, laptop, portable power adapter, etc.) and connect the charging port to the Quick Connect end of the charger. The charging light will turn green and your Vuse will start charging.
Please remember that Vuse produces proprietary chargers that should be specifically used to charge your Vuse vapes, and it is not recommended to use other chargers to charge your vape.

Major Takeaways
We have shared two ways about how to charge your Vuse without a charger but we have also let you in on the risks involved.
If you are trying the first way of making a DIY vape charger with the help of a phone charger then you run the risks of getting shocked as you will be dealing with open wires. If the voltage fluctuates then the vape battery might explode. So, please keep these pointers in mind.
If you are going with the second method then you will be downloading the Vuse ++ app from a third-party website, and run the risks of compromising the security of your device. So, what to do? Buy a vape model that supports a micro-USB port so that you can use any charger, anytime. Or, you can keep a spare charger always in your bag so that you can charge your vape whenever, and wherever you want.
