Todays papers seem to be full of warnings about exploding lithium batteries - how worried should I be?
I wouldn't worry too much.
Most explosions have been due to wrong charger for battery.
Don't leave it overnight. Check it a few minutes into charging to see if all is well.
Every day trillions of Li-ion get charged in mobiles and laptops etc. Very rare, thankfully.
If in doubt, get a new charger if there's any weirdness.
One concern I do have is the capsule inside the Vapourlites battery unit, it combines the pressure sensor and its associated electronic switch that controls coil current with the end of charge disconnect switch.
If you're not careful filling the cartomiser the fluid can run into the battery unit and contaminate the capsule. A contaminated capsule can switch on the coil continuously when you're not drawing on the e-cig - I don't know how/if it affects charge control!
I don't get what 'the correct charger' means?
I originally bought the EVOD starter kit which came with a wire (USB/510) and I bought a separate wall plug with USB slot. Then I bought an itaste V3 which came with a retractable USB/mini USB wire that I also use with the same wall plug with USB slot. (Charge from the wall socket).
I assume the wall plug is Ok? (Bought from same vendor) Or should it only be plugged into a laptop USB port?
I keep seeing posts saying it's Ok to use any phone charger (do they mean the wire, wall plug or both)?
If the phone charger is OK to use, what are the wrong chargers that some people are using?

Didn't realise these could be had so cheap! The only ones I happened to spot before were very expensive for what they are. Can't go wrong for £2.59 on eBay!
