I just received my EVO today and put it on to charge and am having the same problem. I am charging via desktop USB which I know puts out plenty of power because my penstyle USB passthru works great on it.

Any ideas? Maybe I got a bad battery?

Thanks for the link Flitzanu, and hopefully you get an answer in your email soon. The response by Cekte in your post actually appears to make sense as well, so that might be what's going on that they sent out the old batteries with the new usb adapters, so there's no indication light of any kind for when it hits full charge.

It all depends on your PC. I have one of the new stubby chargers and all batteries light up when charged on my PC, which is around 5 years old now.
On my PC at work it doesn't light up when charged but they are definitely charged and run for hours as normal. I have tried the charger on 6 PCs and 4 laptops, 2 PCs and 1 laptop light the battery, the others don't but still charge okay. A friend who is a systems engineer reckons that some PCs will cut power to the port when it is not being demanded, ie when a battery is fully charged. Also, if I leave the battery connected on my home PC the light only stays on for around 10-15 minutes then goes off, then comes back on after 10-15 minutes! As for a 250ma battery killing your laptop and eating all the data......I like living on the edge!

I charge my Evo on my laptop ,it takes 15-20 mins and never had a problem with any of my Evo's including my black one.....Maybe I am thinking about the power supply in different countrys such as UK or US are they different in some way.. I don't know just a thought!!

You just going to run from thread to thread bashing the evo?
Pretty much nothing you've said, in all the threads you've posted in, makes any sense.

How have you been trying to contact them?

Email? Phone? Standard mail?

Tip #1 RTFM

Tip #2 Make sure you're doing it right.

Wow ......now I need some guy to give me intructions on how to contact someone.

What part dont you understand, I think evo sucks........you stated before that you dont have any other type anyway, dont even have a 901. So I can see why you dont understand.

I can see that if you like a light cigarette like Marlboro lights then you probably would like the evo, but if you were a full flavor smoker like me and I used to smoke Newports then the evo just wont cut it. All Im doing is giving plenty of warning, and the support isnt good at all I called left messages, emailed and still no response.

But Terraphon you really dont have much to give an opinion, not trying to flame you...but this is the 3rd time you stated you dont understand.

It's clear that you don't like your Evo. I have several and I think that they're great, so we'll have to agree to differ. I also have penstyles, the original Intellicig and a Golden Shimmer e-cigar. I use a usb passthrough on the original Intellicig and my 901b. So yiu can see that I've used a few different e-cigs - and the Evo is still excellent in my opinion. Why? Because it delivers great vapour, long battery life and is very dependable - all in a small e-cig at a low price. I'm sorry that you don't enjoy yours, but as I mentioned before there are lots of different tobacco cigarettes and not all smokers like every brand out there.

well i have the evo, mirage, 402, 901, 801, e-cigars, npro, original intellicig, joye510 etc etc etc and i still think the evo gives a fantastic throat hit and plenty of vapour........and i was a high tar, high nic, heavy smoker.

you dont like the evo, thats fair enough.........plenty of others do


and im sure terraphon is entitled to his own opinion as much as what you are!
