I am having trouble with my charger. When i screw the battery in it flashes red then goes back to green. If I leave the battery like 2 turns loose it works almost right. Is this something I should worry about? I have had it for about a month and it just started doing this in the last week.

Doesn't sound right. Order another charger. I keep several, back ups for my back ups. It also makes trouble shooting easier especially if you don't have a multimeter.
You can always contact your vendor and ask them about it.

I'm gonna shoot them a message today about it. As they still haven't replaced my battery that wasn't right from the get go I don't have high hopes. I will end up ordering another, possibly a whole nother kit could use the extra batteries and atomizers.
Thanks for the advice.
I had that same thing happen to one of my 510 chargers. need to get another one or keep doing it the way you are now that works for you.
or go with a mod and big battery for future reference/

I think I am gonna try my hand at a flashlight mod for around the house, wouldn't want to take it to work with me or anything, have been looking at the Ego/tornado that i could take with me. Budget is just a little tight at the moment.
Ive saw that same charger problem happen on a couple chargers. Seems to me it's pretty normal. Even on mine I just keep screwing it until the light is RED if i know its dead.
Threads into threads and a sensor...what gives.

I have this problem as well on 3 out of 5 510 chargers I have. They worked fine in the beginning, but then get worse and worse with this problem until they won't charge anything at all. I have tried cleaning the threads with alcohol, but this only helps a little bit early on and then not at all.
I guess I'm going to crack one open and see what gives inside. I agree with the poster above that this is a simple mechanism with only threads and a sensor. I kept wondering why no one else ever posted about this problem.
Thanks for any input, guys.

They are made really cheap with very fine, tiny wires. Chances are, one of the wires has come unsoldered or is loose in some way. Had this happen with my first pv, a 901.
If it is the wall charger...... you can open the casing up and check the connections.... it is glued together so I used a knife to cut around the center first..... pop it open.... resolder if you have a soldering iron...... check the area where you screw the battery into and make sure the silcone grommet is properly positioned between the positive and negative to be sure it is not shorting out.
They are easy to fix.... just made extremely cheap.
