EVO USB charging tip - Page 4 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I am still waiting on my wall charger to be delivered, but was wondering something. Since my USB on my computer doesn't seem to give me more than a 20 -30 minutes charge on all three batteries... Would plugging the USB into my Iphone wall charger work? The USB does fit into it. I just don't want to damage anything.

Thoughts?

Thank you1

ipod wall charger will work fine I have done it myself,also charging on laptop is known to be very fast.20 - 30 minutes,it is the fastest way to charge other than the new white super chargers which can charge a black battery in 15 minutes and a white battery in 20 to 30 mins.

Hello guys,

I just gotta bring this one up !

I have:
2 white standard batteries
2 black mighty atoms

I charge:
- directly from usb port of my two laptops at home and
- from the desktop at work - 3,4,up to 5 hours charging time - until the LED lights constatly

- from the mains - which is basically plugging the usb small charger into the adapter and then into the plug - 3,4, up to 5 hours charging time - until the LED lights constatly

This rule applies for all the batteries - I have never seen any of them light up in less than 3 hours !!!

What is wrong here? Why my batteries do NOT charge in 30 min as you all say?

Lifetime:
-white batteries - 6-8 hours - Great!
- black mighty atoms - it depends - usually 3-4 hours but sometimes less - several times they went from fully charged to dead in 1.5 hours of vaping.

I have 2 questions:

1) Do I have bad batteries? Should I contact Intellicig again? (I contacted them 2 days ago and they were about to send me new black mighty atoms but I`ve canceled the request because I thought it was my charging mistake)

2) Am I doing anything wrong ?

Guys, please advise!

I`m going crazy (I`ve read all the related threads and still cannot find the answers)

@Viachy - Mine, 2 white Genie and 2 black Mighty Atom acts exactly the same way.
I have never seen any of them fully charged in under 3 hours. Mine takes more that 3 hours - Both on computer->USB and Mains->USB. I don't know if it is a power-related issue. Maybe the Americans and British have higher voltages in their houses.

I tried using my iPhone's mains->USB wall plug, but my batteries still takes more that 3 hours to fully charge.

And how long do your black mighty atoms last usually?
Do you have the same issues as me - sometimes a charged black battery dies in 1.5 - 2 hours of usage, sometimes in 5 hours...?

p.s. if I have a faulty battery I`m not sure yet as I`ve been switching them all the time and still cant keep track but if a black battery dies in less than 2 hours again I`ll test it for sure...

My Mighty Atoms lasts about 2.5 hours max.. I have never had them last longer than that. I keep them as a backup, if both Genies are charging.
I'm set on getting a M401 USB Passthrough for my EVO - because I work at a computer all day, and might as well spare my batteries.

Thanks,

I`m less worried now

Is this usb passthrough compatible with evo?
And if it is does it have a manual switch? because othewise it will drives EVO burning all the time.
Correct me if i'm wrong

AFAIK, they are compatible and the passthrough does not come with a manual switch.
