How to Charge Foger Vape Safely & Quickly

Give your Fog-er a full tank.

The “MISTery” of a full battery ends here. 

Pretty much everyone is puffing a Foger these days. Such a vape delivers intense flavor and big clouds. But that solid performance needs a good foundation. The secret is all in how you charge it.

Proper charging is the key to 3 things. It keeps your device safe to use. Protects your battery's health over time. And guarantees strong performance every session.

Not just plugging in. You need to know your device specs. The right steps to charge. And what to do if something feels off. 

That can help you get the best out of every charge.

Foger Vapes Current Series

Foger Switch Pro Kit 30K

One with the most unique design. 

The Foger Switch Pro Kit carries a massive 1050mAh battery. But it’s split. The main dock holds 850mAh, whereas the pod has a smaller 200mAh cell. They work together to power your bar.

Typically, a 100mAh battery gives you 1 hour of usage. 

So, you’ll get to enjoy 10 or 11 hours with the Switch Pro (on moderate/light use). 

You know what that means? Day-to-night power. 

It comes with a Type-C port. Takes around 45-60 minutes to fully charge.

What makes it stand out is its smart transparent screen. It lets you see everything that’s going on while charging or vaping.

Here’s what each icon means:

  • Lightning icon: Means it’s “charging”
  • Battery % (1-100): Shows the “charge level” on the dock.
  • Boost/Normal: Indicates “which mode” is active. “Boost” gives a stronger hit. “Normal” brings a massive puff count. 
  • Color bands: They light up and move during a “Draw”. The lines keep going for about 3 seconds after you finish.
  • Number count: Displays how many ”seconds” your puff lasted.

The transparent tank isn’t only for looks. It lets you check the juice level clearly. So, no dry hits or surprises mid-session. 

Plus, the tank itself is the best indicator. So, you won’t even notice the lack of a screen icon for e-liquid level. 

Foger Bit 35K

One with the chic look.

The Foger Bit 35K runs on an 850mAh rechargeable battery. It lasts around 8-9 hours between charges. That’s almost the entire day. 

Moreover, the bar also uses Type-C fast charging. Takes 30-40 minutes to fill up completely.

There’s a curved 3D OLED display, too. It shows battery percentage and mode updates.

Besides, you’ll get a clear tank that helps you easily check your liquid level. Both its design and function make it user-friendly. 

Charging Components

Sadly, the models don’t come with chargers. 

But the good news is that “Foger offers official accessories to make charging safer and faster”. These can specifically match your vape’s voltage and current needs.

The accessories include:

  • Xpress Gear Dual Port Charger: This is a 25W charger with 2 ports. A modern “USB-C PD (Power Delivery)” port and a “standard USB-A” port. 
  • Xpress Gear 25W USB-C to USB-C Cable: This cable ensures a fine connection between 2 devices that both have USB-C ports. 

Why Quality Parts? 

  • Deliver consistent power
  • Protect the internal cells and 
  • Prevent overheating

Cheap third-party chargers from a gas station may not control the voltage well. This can cause the battery to overheat. That’s what 

  • Damages batteries
  • Shortens their life and 
  • Leads to overheating or circuit failure

So, we suggest you stick with original accessories or high-quality alternatives.

Prep-Work to Charge Your Foger Vape

Getting ready is easy. You only need 4 things:

  • A quality Type-C cable
  • A reliable charger (under 30W output)
  • A stable power source
  • Dock or Disposable

You can charge your Foger using

  • A wall outlet
  • An extension cord or power strip.
  • USB adapter
  • Power bank
  • Computer/laptop

Want faster charging? Use a main wall socket or extension. These provide the most consistent and powerful flow of electricity.

Laptops or PCs usually provide a weaker current. So, your vape will take longer to fill up.

A stable power supply means the battery charges evenly, which helps it last longer. 

How To Charge Your Foger Vape Safely and Quickly? 

Step 1: Check Your Battery %

Have a look at the screen. 

Both Foger devices show the battery percentage right on their OLED display. If it’s below 30%, it’s time to charge. 

Don’t wait until it’s completely dead. Lithium-ion cells perform best when charged a little early before going out of juice. 

Consistently draining it to 0% can reduce total lifespan. Experts say, “it can cause a 66% loss of its total capacity”.

Step 2: Grab the Right Charger

Both the Foger Switch Pro and Bit use Type-C charging ports.

  • The Switch Pro: The port sits below the OLED screen on the dock.
  • The Bit 35K: It’s at the bottom of the body.

Always have high-quality chargers. It’s for both the Type-C cable and adapter.

Most vapers prefer a 5V 1A charger. It’s enough to give your beloved Foger vape stable charging (minus the overheating). Stay within 10 to 30W.

Besides, wrong chargers can be dangerous. Research highlights, 

“Mismatched or overpowered chargers can cause battery swelling or overheating”. 

So, for Foger devices, use quality cables and chargers. 

Step 3: Plug Your Foger In

Take the Type-C cable.

Connect it to your vape’s charging port. Be it the dock of Switch Pro or the disposable of Bit. 

Plug the other end into your power source. A wall socket or extension socket will be the safest bet.

Such sources ensure steady voltage flow. This helps fill the battery faster and more evenly. 

Step 4: Connect Securely

Ensure the cable fits tightly. 

Loose connections interrupt charging and cause power surges.

For the Switch Pro Kit

The dock charges both alone and with the pod attached. 

However, the pod doesn’t charge itself. In case your pod’s battery goes to 0, attach it to the dock and plug the dock into the charger.

For the Bit 35K

Just ensure the Type-C port and cable ends are clean and dry. Now connect them properly. 

Step 5: Track That Indicator Icon

Once plugged in, the screen should light up and show a charging icon.  You’ll see a little lightning icon, or the battery % slowly climbing.

Typical full charge times:

  • Bit 35K: 30-40 mins
  • Switch Pro 30K: 45-60 mins

Charging speeds can vary slightly. It mainly depends on 

  • Battery ratings and 
  • Adapter’s wattage

Step 6: Unplug When Full (Or Almost Full)

Once the display hits 80-100%, unplug immediately. 

Don’t leave it plugged in longer. It doesn’t add extra power.

Fortunately, the Foger vapes have overcharging and overheating protection. It shouldn’t affect the devices. Then again, we don’t suggest you take risks. 

Factors That Determine Charging Time

mAh Capacity 

The bigger the number. The longer it takes to charge.

A Foger Bit 35K has an 850mAh battery. Meanwhile, the Switch Pro 30K has a total of 1050mAh.

The larger battery takes longer here. Reason: it stores more energy. So, naturally, it takes longer to fill. Hence, longer charge time.

Charger Output Power (Wattage/Amperage)

Your charger’s power affects speed.

A 25W charger will charge up faster than a 10W one. Then again, too much power overheats the cells.

Foger’s ideal range is under 30W. It gives you the right balance between speed and safety.

Power Source Quality

A wall outlet gives the most stable current. Meanwhile, laptop or power bank ports usually provide a weaker flow.

Inconsistent current can slow charging or interrupt it entirely.

So, if you want faster, safer charging, always go for a steady wall power source.

Common Charging Issues And Fixes

Foger Not Charging

You plug it in. And nothing happens. No lights. No change on the screen.

Possible Causes

  • Dirty charging port
  • Loose connections 
  • Broken charger or cable
  • In rare cases, the device itself has a factory defect

Fixes

  • Unplug and replug everything. Make sure the cable clicks in.
  • Try a different power source. Plug it into a different wall socket.
  • Clean the charging port. Use a soft Q-tip or dry cloth.
  • Get a different cable and adapter. See if one of them is faulty.
  • None works? The bar’s battery may be dead. Replace the vape.

Foger Charging Slowly

Plugged in. But the percentage is just crawling up.

Possible Causes

  • Weak power source (like a laptop port).
  • Low-quality or fake charging parts.
  • Dirt or oxidation in the port.

Fixes

  • Plug directly into a wall socket.
  • Use the original Foger charger and cable. Or try quality ones. 
  • Clean your port gently.
  • Avoid fake products. Buy genuine.

Foger Overheating While Charging

The device feels super hot to the touch.

Possible Causes

  • Using a high-wattage charger.
  • Left it charging too long.
  • Charging under sunlight or near a heat source.

Fixes

  • Unplug it right away.
  • Let it cool. Preferably, in a shaded area.
  • Try a charger below 30W. 
  • Keep it in a cool, dry space.

Safety Tips For Charging Foger Vape

Be Loyal To Quality Chargers Only

The no. 1 rule.

Not all chargers are equal. Wrong cables and adapters are the main cause of serious vape-related mishaps. Culprits are the ones who are 

  • Faulty
  • Mismatched
  • Low-quality

It can lead to sparks, short circuits, and fire. 

So, always have verified, high-quality chargers under 30W. Ensure they match your vape’s voltage and amperage. This helps keep the battery healthy. Plus, it extends the lifespan. 

Stay Nearby While It’s Charging

Never leave your Foger charging overnight or unattended. 

Lithium-ion cells can heat up after a full charge. Without supervision, it can bring about overcharging. Then sparks. Ultimately, fires. All these are risky matters. 

Moreover, overcharging degrades the battery life. This can cause problems like 

  • Leaked gas and 
  • Potential explosions

To avoid that, stay in the same room. Watch over the Foger, especially when it’s close to 100%. 

This helps you catch any problems early. Charging only takes around 30-60 minutes. So, it shouldn’t be a big deal.

Check Your Foger Periodically 

Regular inspection can help you catch issues early. You can fix them before it’s too late. 

So, every few weeks, check for weird signs like- 

  • Spark marks
  • Sticky leaks or 
  • Scratched metal around the port

Also, evaluate these aspects of your device-

  • Poor performance
  • Slow charging
  • No charging
  • Damaged parts  

All these mean internal wear or juice exposure. In case you spot anything odd, stop using it. Replace the Foger vape. 

Store Properly

Keep your Foger vape somewhere safe.

We mean in a cool, dry space. Not in your pocket or car. And certainly not under direct sunlight. Extreme elements mess with battery chemistry. Be it-

  • Heat
  • Moisture 
  • Direct sunlight
  • Debris
  • Oil

Experts suggest the same. They say-

“Batteries of electronic devices have to be used and stored safely.” And this applies to your Foger, too. 

Try a solid metal case for the job. This will keep your vape super safe while maintaining its performance. 

Upkeep Tips

Regular Cleaning

Wipe down the body and mouthpiece. You can use a dry cloth. For the charging port, a soft brush or Q-tip will be great.

This prevents dust buildup. Plus, it improves charging connections.

Proper Usage

Take slow, smooth puffs rather than aggressive ones. Chain vaping and overusing Boost mode. Both overheat coils and drain the battery faster.

A clean, gently used vape lasts longer. Plus, it gives a better flavor every time.

Quick Charging Tips & Best Practices

  • Keep your charge between 30 and 80%. Helps reduce stress on the battery.
  • Avoid extreme temperatures while charging.
  • Don’t vape while charging. It stresses the circuit.
  • Replace cables if you notice bends or frays.
