Default Cigar Charger problems

Anyone else have problems with Cigar chargers? When I put charger in wall socket, sometimes green light comes on sometimes doesn't. I have ton of cigar kits, I am going to put on EBay at massively reduced price, but when I go to check chargers not sure if will work or not. Seems like it just depends on sockets. What experience have you all had. Most of chargers look same for all the cigars.

Appreciate any feedback

Hey Katy,

I have personally had no issues with my cigar chargers (all 2 of them) LOL ... They do sit in the same wall socket though. Will try other sockets when I get home to see if I can replicate your issue. And you're right, I think all cigars have pretty much the same charger.

LOL ... I have know what its like to have bad sockets. One of the walls that powers the on/off switch of my room light is very moody ... sometimes it decides to work, and yet other times it doesn't. What I suggest, if you find a good wall socket, do what I did, get a belkin surge protector that plugs into the socket and extends it to 6 usable outlets. Got mine over the weekend from Target for $7.99

Belkin In-Wall Surge Protector : Target

My experience with cigar chargers is limited to those from e-cig.com. They suck and often need to be "jiggled" to make the proper internal connection (and give you a green light). Not saying this is the case with your chargers but giving them a jiggle or two might shed some insight.

In my case, performance was so bad I switched to a standard two battery charger from dealextreme.

Thanks Jason, these are Crown 7 cigar kits which are originally from e-cig, I think. And yes that is what I have to do jiggle them. I will check into dealextreme for double charger.

Jason those are nice, think I'll get two, 1 for Hubby even though he has different cigar sure all those batteries will work in that.
Thanks again for info. I am sure there are some other folks out there that hate those cigar chargers
