Technical Details
How an IGET Works
Each IGET employs a sealed internal battery (typically 280–1500 mAh ICR lithium-ion) connected to a cotton-wicked coil rated between 1.0–1.4 Ω. When the user inhales, an air-pressure sensor fires the coil, vaporising the nic-salt juice at low wattage (5–12 W) to deliver a smooth mouth-to-lung (MTL) draw. Common variations include:
- IGET Bar: 350 mAh, 2 mL, ~350 puffs.
- IGET Legend: 1350 mAh, 12 mL, ~4000 puffs.
- IGET Goat: 1800 mAh, 13 mL, adjustable airflow.
All models use food-grade insulators to prevent leaks and short circuits.
Usage & Tips
- First-time use: Remove the silicone mouth-plug and any sticker covering the airflow. Simply draw to activate; no buttons or charging required.
- Storage: Keep upright at room temperature to maintain wick saturation and avoid battery degradation.
- Common issues: Weak vapour? Gently tap the device to re-saturate the wick. Burnt taste indicates the unit is finished—dispose of it safely at a battery-recycling point.
- Safety: Do not attempt to recharge or open the sealed shell; the integrated battery is not user-serviceable and could vent if punctured.
History & Context
IGET emerged in 2019 amid Australia’s nicotine prescription debate, offering discreet, high-nicotine disposables that circumvented complex import regulations. Rapid flavour innovation and aggressive social-media marketing fuelled its dominance in the Australian convenience-store market by 2021.
