A Disposable vape takes between 30 minutes – 1 hour to charge.
When using a USB Type-C cable to charge a 500mAh disposable vape battery via a computer’s USB port, the charging time depends on the port’s power output and the USB standard. Assuming a standard USB power supply over USB Type-C, the output current could range from 0.5A to 3A. Here are estimated charging times for different scenarios:
-
If the output current is 0.5A (500mA), the theoretical disposable vape charging time would be about 1 hour. However, considering efficiency losses, the actual time might be closer to 1.2 hours.
-
For an output current of 1A (1000mA), theoretical vape charging time halves to around 0.5 hours (30 minutes), with actual times possibly slightly longer, say 36 to 45 minutes.
-
With 1.5A (1500mA) or higher output, charging time could drop significantly, potentially to 20 minutes or less. However, the battery’s charging circuitry and protection mechanisms may limit the charging rate, especially near full capacity, to prolong battery life.
It’s important to note that while USB Type-C can support higher currents, actual charging speed also depends on the battery’s charging circuit design, its charging limits, and whether the computer’s USB port supports higher power output.
