How to charge 1010 Boys Vape: Complete Step-by-Step Guide
The 10/10 Boys rechargeable disposable is one of the defining features of the range; the battery is specifically designed to outlast the oil, so nothing is ever wasted. Here is exactly how to charge it correctly, what the LED indicators mean, how long charging takes, and how to get the maximum battery life from every device.
What You Need
- Your 10/10 Boys vape device, 1G or 2G
- A standard USB-C cable the same type used by most modern Android phones and tablets
- A USB power source, phone charger, wall adapter, laptop USB port, or power bank
Important: Use a standard 5V/1A USB charger — not a fast charger. Fast charging adapters designed for smartphones can overdrive the smaller vape battery and reduce its overall capacity and lifespan. A standard phone charger or laptop USB port is ideal.
How to Charge: Step by Step
- Find the USB-C port, which is at the base of the device, at the opposite end from the mouthpiece
- Insert the USB-C cable; the USB-C connection is fully reversible, so either orientation works
- Connect to a power source, plug into a standard phone charger, wall adapter, or laptop USB port
- Watch for the LED indicator, it will light up within a few seconds to confirm charging has started
- Leave to charge fully, a fully depleted battery takes approximately 30–45 minutes to reach full charge
- Confirm charge complete, the LED indicator will change colour or turn off completely when fully charged, depending on your specific device variant
- Disconnect before using, do not use the device while charging
- Use the pre-heat function on first draw, double-click the button to warm the thick liquid diamond oil before your first draw after charging
LED Indicator Guide
| LED Behaviour | What It Means | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Solid light while connected to charger | Charging in progress | Solid light while connected to the charger |
| Light turns off while connected | Fully charged | Safe to disconnect and use |
| LED flashes while drawing | Low battery — charge soon | Connect to the charger within the next few sessions |
| 5 rapid flashes then stops | Click the button 5 times rapidly to unlock | Leave connected until the light changes |
| No LED response at all | Fully depleted battery | Connect to charger — wait 15 mins before testing |
| LED flashes continuously without drawing | Possible short circuit or fault | The device is locked |
How Long Does the Battery Last Per Charge?
The 10/10 Boys battery is calibrated to last longer than the oil. In every genuine device, you will always finish the extract before the battery dies. Battery duration per charge varies by usage:
- Light use (1–3 draws/day): 5–10 days per charge
- Moderate use (4–8 draws/day): 2–4 days per charge
- Regular use (10+ draws/day): 1–2 days per charge
Tips to Extend Battery Life
- Do not charge overnight or leave connected after a full charge. Remove from the charger once the LED confirms a full charge. Leaving small lithium batteries on charge after they are full degrades their maximum capacity over time.
- Charge before fully depleted: charging from around 20% remaining extends overall battery lifespan compared to running to 0% repeatedly.
- Store at room temperature. Extreme cold (below 10°C) temporarily reduces battery performance and draw quality. Extreme heat (above 35°C) degrades battery chemistry permanently. Keep the device between 15–25°C.
- Use a standard 5V charger; avoid fast-charging adapters. A standard wall charger or laptop USB port is optimal for the 10/10 Boys battery size.
- Do not use while charging, as it allows the battery to charge efficiently and evenly.
My 10/10 Boys are not charging Troubleshooting
- Try a different USB-C cable: USB-C cables are the most common point of failure. A different cable resolves the majority of non-charging issues.
- Try a different power source: some laptop USB ports and older chargers output insufficient power. Try a standard wall adapter.
- Check the USB-C port: look for lint or debris in the charging port at the base of the device. Clear gently with a dry toothpick if needed; do not use anything metal.
- Leave connected for 15 minutes: a fully depleted battery may take several minutes to show any LED response. Leave it connected for 15 minutes before concluding it is not charging.
- Check for the locked indicator: if the device flashes 5 times when you try to draw after charging, it is locked. Click the button 5 times rapidly to unlock.
