Can I Refill Foger Switch Pro 30K Vape?

Can you refill a Foger Switch Pro vape? The simple answer is always NO, and that’s because these vapes are not designed to be opened—high chance that once you pry them open, you’ve wrecked them. Instead, as disposables, it is expected that the moment you’ve exhausted the prefilled e-liquid content, you should toss the device for another one. Yeah, they could be dirt-cheap for some persons—at $25 – $40 per device (plus delivery costs), but well, not everyone is having that.

So, what if there’s a way to refill your Foger Switch Pro with the e-liquid you already got at home? Well, it is important to say that this is a DIY practice, and poses harmful risks if any step goes wrong. But, if you’re not bothered and want to try it out—yeah? Then here we go. This article will explain how you can open the Foger Switch Pro 30k pod unit and refill your favorite e-liquid to continue vaping.

Foger Switch Pro 30K Overview

The Foger Switch Pro 30k is a 2-chassis disposable vape, which means it’s got detachable battery and pod units; you can detach the pod from the battery unit, or vice versa, whichever way you want to interpret that. But, the detachable pod unit doesn’t imply it’s refillable; you have to dispose of it when you detach, and then you attach another prefilled one.

This flexibility allows you to own one Foger Switch Pro battery pack and use it with multiple pod units—so you keep buying only new prefilled pod units, instead of the entire kit. That kind of saves you some money, right? Well, that’s the idea—subsidized cost. But some dude found another way around this, although it’s quite an advanced trick, that requires absolute carefulness.

Can I Refill the Foger Switch Pro 30K Vape?

 Technically, yes. But that requires prying the pod unit, disabling the components, and then refilling it manually. Of course, this is risky, because not only would you wreck the device totally if not done well, but you might as well injure yourself with one of the equipment you’re using for the DIY if you’re not careful. That said, you should proceed with the steps below only when you understand the risks involved—but it’s fun actually, especially if you’ve always been a DIY freak.

How to Refill the Foger Switch Pro 30K Disposable Vape?

You will need the following items to complete this DIY:

· A pair of safety gloves

· Small knives (you’ll need about 3 of those)

· A pick

· Your nic salt of e-liquid to refill

Step One: Open ‘em Up!

So, you have to detach the pod from the battery unit and then open it up. The Foger Switch Pro 30k vape pod unit has a transparent e-liquid tank at the top and an additional battery base; you need to take the transparent top apart from the base. To do this, you have to hold on to the two ends, work it back and forth, and then try to pull them apart.

Once they’re apart, you would want to focus on the transparent e-liquid tank, which is where we’d be doing the whole work on.

Step Two: Open Up The Tank

Now the tank is out, what you wanna do is to open it up further. This is where the knives will be employed. You need to insert two knives on the sides of the tank; they should stand in parallel to each other. Then use the third knife to pull up the tank’s housing. Of course, this needs to be done with absolute carefulness and precision, so you don’t stab yourself in the process.

Once the canister housing becomes loose, remove the knives and pull it out manually with your hands. Then keep it at a safe spot on the table—preferably on top of a serviette or hand towel.

Step Three: Remove the Tank Padding

Use a pick to remove the tank’s padding that sits between the canister and the actual tank. Once the rubber padding is out—there you have your Foger Switch Pro 30k tank, and so you can proceed to refill.

(Note: if you’re going to do this DIY alone, then you should have the canister and rubber based fused right immediately after you took them out, before proceeding to refill the tank—see step five for guidelines)

Step Four: Fill it UP!

And here’s the step we’re all waiting for—the point where you get to fill up your tank. Now, for this part, make sure you pour the e-liquid into the tank itself, and not inside the wick’s housing. So, you pour it in until it gets to the gauge, and you gotta stop.

Make sure not to overfill the tank, else you won’t be able to reassemble it properly. Once you’re done filling in your e-liquid to gauge, then it’s time to put everything back as they were.

Step Five: Reassemble the Tank

So here, we start by putting the rubber protection back on—gently press it in to fit onto the canister. 

If you look closely at the canister, you will notice it has a kind of protruding pin on one side—you gotta guide the pin into the designed pin-hole on the rubber base, then install the two together.

For this, you’re going to need someone to hold the refilled tank for you while you get the canister and rubber fused together for re-installation. Once the two are properly fused, put them back on into the tank’s housing—gently press the canister until it snaps into place.

Now, when you look at the tank’s base, you will notice it’s got two contact pins; these contact pins must fit into the respective holes on the canister. So you have to gently guide them in, and then press on to fit.

You know the base is fitted back in when you hear a click sound, and it slides down the tank’s tread path. Once that is done, we are done, too. Now, what you need is to attach the now-assembled pod unit to the battery unit and start hitting again.

Disclaimer: This DIY will eventually cause the coil on your Foger Switch Pro 30k to burn out; it may take 3 – 5 additional refills anyways, or less (depending on how carefully you do the refills), but eventually, it’s not a PERMANENT fix, so the coil will pack up after a while, just might not be too soon—if you’re lucky, you get to milk the most out of it before that happens.

Troubleshooting Tips

· Foger Switch Pro 30k not hitting after refill: This will only happen if you got one of the steps wrong, or damaged the canister during removal or re-installation. If you got everything done right, no way you won’t be getting hits.

· Foger Switch Pro 30k tastes different after refill: The truth is, you have to saturate the coil after the refill. Also, depending on how long the vape has been empty before you found this DIY and refilled it—and you poured in a different flavor too, you might be getting a mixed flavor taste for a while before the whole thing fuses up to deliver a smooth taste.

· Foger Switch Pro 30k not powering on after refill: This should be an issue with the battery pack unit and not the pod; however, if you can confirm it’s from the pod unit you just refilled, then you got something wrong—take out the pod again, disassemble it and confirm that the contact pins on the based are well placed to touch with the wire and holes on the canister fitting (explained in Step 5). Also, confirm that the canister is well fitted into the pinhole on the rubber base (see Step 5, too).

Verdict

Of course, you can always just buy a new prefilled replacement pod and get going with your Foger Switch Pro 30k vape, without having to go through this technical procedure of refilling an exhausted one. Also, it is important to reiterate that this is not a permanent fix; eventually, the pod—the coil, actually—would get damaged due to the regular disassembling and reassembling, but then, this works, and you could get up to 5 refills before the coil issue comes on.

For the fun of it and to save some bucks? Yeah, this is SUPER COOL! Make sure you do this trick outside your kitchen, as e-cigarettes, in general, can be pretty inflammable when exposed to excessive heat or direct fire.
