I bet there's something wrong with the battery.

I'm with swedishfish!

There's something clearly wrong!

If you didn't buy it in a joyetech kit or from joyetech directly, there's always a risk that you could be buying a fake.

There are countless knockoffs of the Joye 510 because its the most popular.

Your wall charger should be just fine for charging (1) battery at a time, but its recommended that you use 450 maH and up if you're charging multiple cells at the same time.

I think i found the problem, after charging only one battery at time on laptop battery last longer. 4 hours so far.
Maybe problem really was with my computer couldn't handle charging 2 batteries in same time.:vapor:

I always use the wall charger. I'm always a little freaked out about blowing up my computer. I can replace my pv. Can't replace my computer any time soon. :laugh:

I don't know. This is just anecdotal but I just brought my 510 to a picnic last weekend (regular not mega battery) because I didn't know a lot of people and didn't want to whip out my 1000 mah battery with the EMDCCs. I only had LR cartos which I know is a no-no but used them anyway. I didn't chain vape every second, but I vaped a lot plus everyone of course wanted to try it. And my battery with the LR carto lasted most of the day. I think I might have put a new battery on toward the end of the day. I didn't time it or anything but it was a heck of a lot longer than 1-2 hours. Plus my batteries are about 3 months old, plus I was using LR cartos.

With brand new mega batteries, SR atty I would think you'd get longer than that.

Unless I got super duper batteries! :laugh:

Maybe it's the charger?

Maybe its your electric personality that keeps it charged?

Well, I'm going to recommend you don't charge any more batteries on your computer. You can either go with a USB wall wart or something like a 10-port USB bus that gets its power from a wall wart (vs. the computer port). :)

I use the wall wart for USB and have a USB port in my truck.Haven't had a problem with the USB on my computer.When the PC goes to sleep it turns off power to the USB and the charging stops.So for a full charge I love the wall wart. I have a 12V adapter to USB that fits in the cig lighter an use it on my pontoon boat while fishing.

It's reasonably easy to tell Windows not to shut off your USB ports ;)

If you look in Device Manager at the properties page for your USB adapters and poke around a little you'll see a box that says "Allow Windows to turn off this device to save power" - uncheck that and your chargers should work full time :)
