Charger confusion

[cathysull]

I have tried several different e-cigs and now am not sure which charger goes with which The 510 is the only one that says Joye on the plug. I remember reading on the different sites that the chargers could only be used on that particular brand e.g. the 401. I've already burned out one battery (a 401) by using the wrong charger. Is there any place that lists the input/output requirements for the different e-cigs?

I'd sure appreciate any help on this

I'm sorry that I don't know the answer but I'm giving your post a bump in the hopes that someone else does.

Don't know specifics either but here are some general suggestions.

First figure out which batteries thread into which chargers. Obviously if you can't easily thread the battery into the charger its not the right charger.

Second among chargers that fit a given battery. Although its not 100% use the rule of thumb that the longer the battery the bigger its rating or capacity. Arrange the batteries with the same threads from low to high. Now go through the chargers that have that thread and look at each one. The back of the charger should have some writing on it. You want the bit that lists "Output." I just looked at my DSE901 to make an example. It has "Output DC 4.2V 100ma." Arrange the chargers lowest to highest voltage (V) and then for those with the same voltage lowest to highest current (ma). You should now have the chargers arranged with their batteries.

Have you tried doing a google search for the particular model of e-cig, then looking on a site that sells it. Then maybe click on the picture for a starter kit and they usually show the chargers in the pics. Maybe you'll be able to figure it out by comparing the pics to your chargers. Just a suggestion, hopefully you'll find the right answers. Good Luck!

AND, once you DO know which one is which, I'd suggest doing what I did and taking a little piece of paper, write the e-cig for the charger and tape it on the top of it.

Good luck!

Thanks for all the hints, folks. The clue about the voltage was especially useful. I didn't realize I had plugged a USB charger into the wrong AC adapter as well!

On another note, I'm now using a USB hub rather than the port on my laptop. I'm seeing too many warnings about problems with plugging the USB chargers directly into the computer.
