batt charging time

[melloyello]

im little bit disappointed in how long it takes to charge the largest battery....close to 4 hours? im finding that i have one on charge and the other just died...and i end up waiting for an hour or so for the previous to charge. (um...did that makes sense? probably not) but anyway... i thought for sure 2 large(100+mm) would support my vaping habits but i guess not.

i also have a riva 510 which obviously has a much larger battery and that thing charges even faster than the BMF.

I realized I asked a dumb question, you can't use a case for the XL. So is it a usb or wall charger?

 

[melloyello]

i am using both and they seem to take just as long to charge on either one. dont get me wrong, i amglad i got the bmf and if i had known then what i know now, i would buy it all over again

 

[starsong]

It's just that 4 hours is really long, doesn't sound right. I just put mine on the usb about an hour ago, so I'm going to time it.

That sounds about right for my XL batt. It takes a LONG time....almost as long to charge it as to vape it dry. But, I don't care.....I've got lots of batteries! (and cartos, and juice, and......) ha ha ha

WOW! you're all heart.

i have noticed that even if i get the same % pg/vg but from few different vendors, the vapor and t/h does vary quite a bit. blue mist liquids imho doesnt give out much vapor. im going to try BWB liquids (never tried them before) hope they vape well on BMF

No, just prepared....like a boy scout. LOL After reading all of the forums on ECF, I knew I must not be caught battery-less, if I really wanted to quit smoking.

I did get caught once without my juice. Never again, on any supplies. I have over 500 ml of my juice and 8 batteries and three chargers here.

maybe thats what i need to do....i have only 2 batts, probably should get 2 more.

Hey MN-

You got the 65's like I did right? As a point of reference, my battery charged very quickly. I didn't time it, but I would say it took about an hour or so. I know that doesn't help your situation. I'm using the mini-PCC to charge my batteries. I verified it with a USB charger and confirmed that my battery was fully charged.

 

[zotzer]

If I remember correctly, he has the XLs

Mini PCC definitely charges the spare before I deplete the other. Works great!

That's what I did. Bought 2 76mm batts, then when Leaford's 3 year vapiversarry hit, I bought 2 XL's, so that when one batt dies, I already have the replacement.

Well, now that I finally actually timed how long it took, I agree it is a very long time -- for me it was 3.5 hours. My phone will charge in about 45 mins when it is down to nothing and it is 5x as big.

Can one of our in-house scientists explain why?

 

[melloyello]

the ego is 650mah and takes about an hour and a half, maybe 2 hours to charge. the bmf is what, 420mah? and takes about twice as long. its not a huge deal since i can buy more batts.

 

[starsong]

I wonder if it has anything to do with the charger itself -- maybe a faster one could be found?

My 65's take about 2 hours to charge via USB/lappie and my 78 takes about 2 also but via wall charger.
How long do your 65 and 78 batteries hold a charge with heavy vaping?

 

[GNNR]

I believe the formula is hr= mAh/mA. hr is hours to charge. mAh is capacity of battery. mA is output of charger.

 

[melloyello]

im almost certain the charger is the bad guy in this dilemma. like with cell phones, you can get a fast or slow charger...so i blieve GNNR is right.

My 65's are lasting 4.5 to 5 hrs with heavy use.
