My Janty eGo first impressions

[St_Francisco]

Could you post a picture of the box it came in? When I ordered mine in December, it just came in a UPS bag.

I like the eGo so much, that I just ordered a second kit as a backup.

Vlynn,

You have definitely come to the right place then. There is so much to learn here and you can spend hours reading through all the tips, tricks, advice and updates. I am glad my review and experience helped, I just suggested the same thing to my friend and you will like the eGo a bunch, it will save you some time, frustration and cash right from the beginning. The biggest issue to overcome is the fact that we still have to drip in the carts... but that will hopefully be resolved by the Tesla Filter. In addiiton many cart mods like the RSP and the straw and pyramid tea bag work well. I typically just use the poly the carts come with and just drip after 8-12 drags.

Do not be afraid to ask questions, many are here to help and there are many more who are much wiser than I am.

That is a wise move. I ordered my Tornado (which is actually the Ego with a different name) from totally Wicked plus triple spare parts. It is becoming a cult.

Question.
How do you know when your eGo batt is fully charged?

I put a dead batt on the charger and pluged it in, the little light on the USB part is green which usually indacated full charge (but I know the
batt is dead!!).

So how do I know when it's fully charged?

On all my other chargers, the light is red, then, when fully charged, it turns green.
This seems to be different since it starts out green!!

Can someone help?

It's just like your other charges... red means charging, green means it's done.

If you know that the battery is discharged... and the charger light won't turn red.. then you either don't have the battery screwed in completely, the contacts are dirty, that battery is "bad", or the charger is defective.

Can't think of anything else.

I have 2 batts. They are clean contacts.
The charger its self is red, but the little adapter where the batt screws in is green!! Is it the charger its self that turns green when fully charged?
Both batts act the same in the charger. Should I ignore the light on the adapter and only pay attention to the light on the charger unit?

Also, how long does it take to charge on of these?

This is only the 2nd time I have charged these batts, and didnt notice it
the first time as I just let it go overnight. Thanks for your help
