First charge for 8 hours?
Hello,
I'm new to the site and new to E-cigarettes.
I've just bought a Mini from Ebay (this could have bee a mistake, but never mind). The Item I bought was from smart smoker listed here:
eBay item=390010624881
SmartSmoker ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE +56 Cartridges.
In the instructions it says to charge the battery for at least 8 hours for the first charge to 'prime' the battery. Mine went from red to green after about 2 hours, do I need to leave it in the charger for another 6 hours? Surely if the light is green then it's not charging, so why leave it plugged in?
Thank you
David

First, welcome to the e-cig world 
Leave it go the full 8 hours the first time.
Next time it will take about 3 hours.
The light is not always right, plus what you doing is over charging to, sort of pack it for useage.

Thank you for a promt reply.
Will it do any harm if I have a quick go then slap it back on charge?
I want to play

Hi David, I've just had a look at the eBay item number you have bought & though it says it's a mini, from the photos it's a Super mini.

Re wanting to play with it before the full 8 hour charge. So did I when I got my first kit. So I decided to risk it with one battery & put leave the other on for 8 hours & tbh, I've not noticed much difference in the performance of either of those batteries.

It may well be, it's 102mm long.
Thank you, do you know it they're any good? I want to try it!

Thanks Chrissie, I'll give it a go when I fancy a fag[1] then.

I think there's something up with it. It does vapourize a little and you can tell you get a hit but.............
After taking a drag the filter flashes for a while and makes a noise, also it gets quite hot at the metal join. Is this normal?
Thanks again

It sounds to me like it has gone straight into the auto clean mode, which it shouldn't be doing. have you actually put a cartridge in? The mouthpiece that comes attached to most e-cigs when you unpack them is a blank.
