Beginner Battery question

[Neekyme]

Ok, so what's the best way to go about charging the VK batteries (they're KR808s I guess? Am I right on this? lol)

I'm a stay-at-home mom...so it's not like I need a bunch of fully charged batteries ready to go. I'm never very far from a computer although, I'm usually chasing after the lil ones, so a PT isnt always the best option for me.

But to prolong the life of these, is it better to use one, say, half the day and then throw it on the usb charger while I vape from the other?

Or am I supposed to be waiting for them to be dead before charging them? And will it hurt them if I would happen to take one off the charger before it's fully charged?

I just want to take care of these as best as possible, so they last as long as possible. I dont have much income, and I havent converted my hubby to the idea of these yet...so until then I gotta stretch my dollars!

I searched, but didnt see any kind of Battery 101 thread

Thanks!!

These batteries have no "memory" so you can charge them any time you want weather they are dead or not and if it's not fully charged when you take it off the charger, that's ok too.

When it does come time to buy another battery, allow me to recommend the XLs. I got one of those from V4L a week or so ago and vaped away happily for 3 days before discovering the charger I'd been putting the battery on every night wasn't working. At all. Never had.

That's still 3 days on a full charge. it wasn't my only vape during those 3 days, but it was my newest (oooh shiny!) and the only one attached to white-chocolate-covered-strawberry... *drool* That battery's performance actually interfered with the diagnostic process, and that's saying something - I troubleshoot computers professionally, so diagnostic thinking is kind of my thing. The thing lasted so long i kept ruling out the idea that the charger was bad from the start. Obviously it had to have been working at some point over three whole days... right? *sigh*

Just thinking about being at home racing around after littles; I know how it would go for me: "I need a new battery. Where did I put my - Leave your sister's hair alone! Where did I put - I told you to put that down! Where did - HEY! Take that out of your mouth this instant! Where - What was I thinking? My brain feels so scattered... I need nicotine. Oh, shoot, I need a new battery. Where did I put my...." Frequent battery changes would get pretty annoying.

Thanks guys! Great news that they dont have a 'memory' - coz lord knows, neither do I! I think I got 24 hours out of the one, it just died on me - granted I was vaping off both here and there...but it was the one that had the higher mg tobacco flavor on it. Its the one I'm using to keep me from reaching for the cigs. The other one just had yummy lower mg flavors to satisfy my hand to mouth need while vegging out at the computer.

Thanks for the XL tip Jaka! I almost put those into my cart when I first ordered, but figured I'd keep it simple until I was sure this is something that would work for me.

LOL and yeah - my days pretty much sound like that... Although I dont know if it's the PV or what - but I've been a little more easy going than usual. Maybe it's because instead of having a nicotine spike, then drop - I have a nice constant stream of nicotine from quick vapes here and there....but I'm definitely seeing a difference, in just 18 hours. I havent reached the "I'm going to pull my hair out" stage...which normally happens several times a day!
