Stiiizy pods are popular vape cartridges containing cannabis oil. To use them, you need a Stiiizy battery – an rechargeable device that connects to the pod and heats up its oil. But what if you don’t have access to one or it runs out of power?
Is there any way to hit a Stiizy pod without a battery?
Answer: Hitting a Stiiizy pod without its battery is not advised. Doing so could damage the pod, expose you to hazardous chemicals and waste your cannabis oil. However, if you are in an urgent situation and have no other choice but to try these methods at your own risk.
Utilize a USB Cable
This method requires using a USB cable to connect the Stiiizy pod to an electrical source, such as a laptop, power bank or wall charger. Cut one end of the USB cable and expose its wires inside; identify positive and negative wires (usually red and black respectively), plus locate two metal contacts on the bottom where your battery connects.
To use the Stiiizy pod without a battery, attach the positive wire to one contact and the negative wire to the other. Be mindful not to touch these wires or contacts with fingers or any metal objects as this may lead to short circuit or electric shock. Plugging one end of the USB cable into an electrical source and waiting a few seconds until vapor begins coming out of the mouthpiece is sufficient, then inhale as usual from this pod.
However, this method is highly risky and could potentially damage both the pod and its power source. A USB cable may not supply sufficient voltage or current to the pod, leading it to overheat or explode. Furthermore, any power source could become damaged due to excessive draw or short circuit. Furthermore, burning oil exposes you to hazardous chemicals from wires or oil burnt by burning.
Utilize another Vape Battery
This method requires using a different vape battery that is compatible with Stiiizy pods. Ensure the new battery has the same size and shape as your Stiiizy battery, along with matching voltage and current output. Compatible batteries include CCELL Palm, CCELL Silo, Yocan Uni Pro, and Vessel Compass; some examples are listed below.
In order to use the Stiiizy pod without a Stiiizy battery, attach it to an compatible one and turn on. From there, you can inhale as usual from the pod. However, this method may not work well if your device is not fully charged or has different temperature setting than what Stiizy recommends; either too little vapor production or harsh fumes could result. Furthermore, doing this could void both product warranties – for both pod and battery.
Use a lighter
This method involves heating the oil inside the Stiiizy pod with a lighter. First, take out the mouthpiece from the pod to expose its oil chamber, then hold it upside down while using a lighter to heat up its bottom. Be careful not to burn yourself or melt any plastic parts during this process. Once you see vapor coming out of this chamber, inhale from it using either a straw or tube.
However, this method can be highly hazardous and wasteful. A lighter may not heat the oil evenly or sufficiently, leading to uneven vapor production or no vapor at all. Furthermore, burning or charring some of the oil may produce hazardous toxins and carcinogens. Furthermore, using this method wastes a lot of oil as some may drip out or evaporate during heating.
Conclusion
Hitting a Stiiizy pod without its battery is possible but not recommended. Doing so could damage your pod, power source, health and wallet. For optimal enjoyment of these devices it’s best to use them with an officially charged Stiiizy battery that functions properly; if you don’t already own one then purchasing one online or from a licensed dispensary is your best bet.
