Hey everyone i have an ego c twist, and on a full charge its only last a little bit more than an hour. I am a chain vapor and vaping at around 4.3 volts. is that normal for a chain vapor? when i try to hit it, the button just keeps blinking indicating that the battery is low or does it mean i have to slow down for a little bit? I came from using a generic head shop brand and the reason i bought this is because the battery on the generic brand lasted about an hour and no throat hit. But dont get me wrong im getting way better hits on the ego twist than the generic brand but the battery is lasting about as long as the generic brand. Thanks

Yep, the light needs to change to green. It will go kind of yellowish-orange when it's almost done charging and might blink a bit when it's charging but that's normal.

There's your problem. You must wait for the light to change to green. White LED turning off doesn't mean full charge. HTH and happy vaping!

ohhhh ok lol wow well this is embarrassing :facepalm: haha thanks guys i will wait until the usb light turns green.

this is what i got Goodejuice 650mAh TWIST eGo CE5+ Blister Kit [GJEGOCE5BLSTR650TWST] - $20.99 :


Ok but im pretty sure the battery on the generic brand was malfunctioned because it was a knock off of the igo 4. it had the charger where you can just place it on the circle charger. And the guy at the head shop told me to send it back to the company for a brand new unopened one. I notice at some head shops sell opened and used e cigs because when i bought it the puff count was already at a 100

I think these are generic too. Can't really tell since I can't see the thing in the package. Still, a 650mah should last about 6 hours when it's fully charged up.

ego is a type of battery connector and basic type of battery mod as well. There are many brands of ego.

I can kill an 1100mah Joyetech ego in 3 hours.

The LED on my ?eGo? Twist charger never goes solid green. The white LED on the twist blinks ~10? times when it is fully charged. I verify the charge with a volt meter(4V). The LED on the charger will remain red/flashing green all day. Since there are so many flavors of these things, I am not sure about anybody elses operation though. If you really want to know the state of charge on your battery, check it with a volt meter.

Joyetech came out with the name eGo. It's now used as a generic term for the pen like devices. It looks like where you bought yours from, they have both the authentic Joye ones and some generic ones too. Check this link:

Can you please post the link again. i dont think its working

I'm confused now, now im not sure if a 650 MAH is supposed to last an hour or around 3ish hours. Volt meter? where can i get one of those at?

The rating doesn't mean that much, because it entirely depends how often you press that button! That's why for some people the same battery will last all day but for others it's gone in an hour! If you know you kill a 650 battery in an hour, get a bigger one. And then get spares so one can be charging while you're using one (actually, several spares!). You can get good ego style ones for less than $20 (unless it's from a B&M), so it's not a huge investment compared to analogs! But this is also why people move on to bigger and better mods...
