    Default red pulsing light means its charged??? (supermini & mini) BUT NO VAPOUR ON EXHALATIO!

    I bought a supermini cig and plugged it in to charge. The light was green when i first plugged it in and then turned to red when it was done. Not only this but it seemed to pulse after a while so i deduced this meant it was ready to take out. Alls good, the cig works etc.

    But

    I then got a DSE901 and plugged it in to charge. The light was already green on the charger then i plugged in nthe cig and it turned red. All good so far thought i.

    Anyway after 10 minutes the charger started doing the same pulsing light thing that the super did so puzzled i thought id take it out and give it a go. I pull in from the cig and vapor is produced. I inhale from the cig and no vapour comes out!

    Its a brand new cart so i dunno where im going wrong.

    Does anyone know what the pulsing light means on the supermini and super cig charger?

    If I understand your question... My chargers do pulse from color to color as the charge nears completion. A steady green is where you would call it charged.
    Vapor inhaled and non exhaled is pretty normal depending on how long you hold the draw in your lungs. VG liquid seems to show more vapor in exhale.

    on the 901 you will find it pulses but when is fully charged goes green! I leave mine on for half hour even after that to make sure they charged. Think the pulsing just it constantly checking the level of charge?

    YEah with the supermini i was dripping with VG and the smoke was fantastic. With the 901 i am smoking the med carts that came with it. Perhaps thats why im dissapointed.

    The charge light defo goes from green when not charged to red when charged though (on the super). I think i may have a confused charger lol.

    Ah perhaps i should just plug it and leave it then to see if it goes green. I thought maybe that how they worked (going from green to red) as the super did the same thing and thats definately charged

    Would it be so hard for them to include this sort of neccessary info in the booklet?

    My mini and supermini chargers are like this:

    Charger plugged in with no battery - dim green LED
    Charger plugged in with low battery - red LED, pulses green every second or so as charge level increases
    Charger plugged in with full battery - bright green LED

    Charging takes a couple of hours generally.

    As above, red leave alone green ready to go, think traffic lights.

    It is also recommended that the initial charge is around 8-12 hours, some opinions vary on the amount of time. You may see green light after 15-20mins but leave it in there.

    My 1st 801 arrived today and had blue light off the bat (blue is on USB charger) It's still in there and will stay until around 11pm then I will put spare in over night. I found I can usb charge from my dvd player that has memory card slots and usb lol, I don't need to leave laptop running!

    Red means volts bad green, volts OK! Its probably a complete myth that you initially leave a battery on charge for 8 hours when new(lithium ion battery) but do it anyway! If the charger is saying green before red, get a replacement and enjoy
