The JUUL is a really cool e-cigarette, and we’ve covered it in detail before on our blog. The JUUL is a compact device with an ingenious design that makes it easy to carry around and use discreetly. It’s also very simple to use, but there are some downsides to the JUUL – namely its short battery life. If you have a JUUL e-cig, you’ll know that you get about 200 puffs per charge. That might seem like a lot, but it doesn’t take long to run through your battery when you’re regularly vaping throughout the day. If you find yourself running out of juice often, here is how to make a DIY USB JUUL charger dock at home…
What You’ll Need
To make a DIY USB JUUL charging dock, you’ll need a couple of items that you probably already own. Firstly, you’ll need a computer or laptop USB port. You can’t use a USB wall adapter as that’s not powerful enough. You can buy USB ports for very cheap off Amazon and eBay, and they should cost you less than a few dollars. You’ll also need a small block of wood. You can pick up a cheap piece of wood from any DIY store, and you’ll only need a small section of it. Lastly, you’ll need a couple of screws, any type really. You just need something that can go into the wood and hold the JUUL in place.
How to Make a DIY USB JUUL Charging Dock
The first thing you’ll want to do is get the USB port wired up to the wood block. Cut the wood to the desired size and shape, and then, using the screws, fix the USB port to the wood. You may want to check out some diagrams online to make sure the wiring is correct. Next, you’ll want to get the charging pod out of the JUUL. You can do this by unscrewing the bottom of the JUUL, removing the pod, and then screwing the bottom back on. This will leave you with just the charging pod, so now you want to attach the pod to the wood. You can either just hold it in place with your hand, or you can use some double-sided tape.
Where to Get the Parts
As we mentioned, you can pick up a cheap USB port for a couple of dollars online, and you can find a cheap piece of wood at any DIY store. You can also use a wooden block that you have at home, but you’ll need to make sure it’s the right dimensions. The charging pod should fit snugly, and it shouldn’t be lose or fall off while you’re using the charging dock. You can find the JUUL charging pod on the JUUL website, or you can find it on Amazon and eBay.
Build your own JUUL charging dock
If you don’t like the look of our DIY charging dock, or you just want to make your own, you can. First, you’ll want to pick up a USB charger for the JUUL. You can find them online, or you can use an old charger that you no longer use. You just need to make sure that it’s a 5V charger. Now, you’ll want to find a suitable place to put the charging dock. Make sure it’s close to a power outlet so you don’t have to keep moving it around. Then, you just need to plug the charger into the wall, and the JUUL will start charging.
Final Words
A JUUL e-cigarette is a fantastic device that is great for beginners and experienced vapers alike. The draw-back is the short battery life, which is where our DIY charging dock comes in. You can make your own charging dock at home, or you can purchase one online. Whichever option you choose, you’ll be able to charge your JUUL whenever you want, wherever you want.
