If you’ve lost or misplaced your JUUL charger, there’s a simple hack to charge your JUUL with a phone charger without buying a replacement right away. Just cut a few wires from an old iPhone or Android USB cord and touch them to the bottom of the device.

Before you start: You’ll need an old USB phone charging cord from an iPhone or Android phone. Ensure the cord is unplugged from any power source.
Warning: This hack involves cutting wires and exposes you to risk of electric shock or injury. Proceed at your own risk and consider buying an official replacement for safety.

How to charge a JUUL using a phone charger hack

Follow these simple steps to turn an old phone cord into a makeshift JUUL charger.

  • Unplug the USB phone charging cord from any power source to avoid electrocution.
  • Snip off the small USB end of the cord with wire cutters or scissors.
  • Strip about 1/2 inch of insulation from the cut end to expose the inner wires.
  • Separate the black wire and the red wire from the others.
  • Strip 1/4 inch of insulation from the ends of both the red wire and black wire.
  • Plug the USB end into a power source, then touch the red wire to the right side of the bottom of the JUUL and the black wire to the left side. The light should indicate charging.
Pro tip: Unlike myths in some online videos, rubbing two knives together will not charge your JUUL—stick to proven methods like this hack or official accessories.

Once charged, order a new official JUUL charging cable online from the JUUL website or pick one up at your local vape store for reliable, safe use.

Avoid leaving your JUUL with a completely empty battery for more than two weeks, as it can reduce battery longevity over time. Test the device after charging to ensure it works properly.

For long-term use, always prioritize official chargers to prevent damage or safety issues from makeshift hacks.
