So I read the "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Your 510" guide and was wondering, should I just charge until the light turns green or 4 hours? or even more?
510 Charging time advice?

As soon as the light turns green you are good to go. There is NO reason to charge them longer. The older batteries were different but not the ones they make now.
The 180 mah battery will charge in about 2 hours. When the light goes green it has stopped charging. There's no reason to leave it in the charger.
Follow your supplier/manufacturer's instructions for initial charging (if they are provided) for warranty purposes.
There are so many write ups and opinions on this matter its confusing for newbs.
Myself, I follow the instructions. If there aren't any, I do an initial charge of 6 hours, followed by 20 mins use, then a another 1 hour charge (regardly of charger light color). Subsequent charges until the charger light turns green.
As I said, this is what I've done "MYSELF", and don't really care about the opinions of those who choose to shoot it down because........ it has worked for me EVERY time, and my batteries have been hassle free.

I have been using 510s for about 2 weeks. Initially charged my batts overnight and then leave in until they turn green (think it is usually 2-3 hours). They seem to be doing fine. (Altho the 510 batteries don't last terribly long for me, constantly vaping away!!!)
I have applied both schools of thought regarding the battery charging question and have found there to be no difference in charging until the light turns green or leaving it on the 4 extra hours.
An update, the 510 batts REALLY do not last me more than a couple of hours but I am a constant vaper and am not too bothered by this, I just keep rotating four batts. Two would not be enough I'm sure since they do seem to be used up before the previous one is fully charged.
USB passthru when at the PC might be saving me some batt life now tho. Just got it yesterday and keeping one atty/cartridge here at the PC with it to use when I sit down at the computer.

I read that someone tested the charger and when the light turned green there was no longer current flowing.
Charging lithium-ion batteries
"Lithium-ion is a very clean system and does not need priming as nickel-based batteries do. The 1st charge is no different to the 5th or the 50th charge. Stickers instructing to charge the battery for 8 hours or more for the first time may be a leftover from the nickel battery days."
