charging a KR808

[EasyPuffer]

I just got my PV from CigEasy last night, and I think I'm having trouble getting the battery to charge.

I have the travel charging case as my only charger. The case charges per the instructions: after plugged into USB for a couple hours, the upper light turns green.

My problem is charging the PV itself. It was supposed to be charged on delivery, but I charged it for 4 hours or so last night, and about 2 hours this morning, and it doesn't seem to stop.

The bottom red light on the charger is staying on, and the tip of the PV blinks blue 3 times about once a minute. Does that sound right? How long do they typically take to charge?

Hello EasyPuffer! I saw that you hadn't gotten any help yet and wanted to make sure that you received some input on your question. I don't have your particular PV so I can't help you there. Sorry to hear about your problems with your PV. I would go to the CigEasy Forum CigEasy - E-Cigarette Forum and see if you can get your answers there. Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply! I actually tried posting there 1st, but it won't let me. It looks like I can only post in the Noob forum.... is there a probation time maybe?

That's not spam, We're having a conversation here... Completely legitimate.

Actually, this thread caught my attention because I just ordered a KR808 kit. It hasn't arrived yet, but when it does, I want to know as much about it as I can. I am eager to hear what KR808 owners have to say.

Hey Easy, just go say hi to a whole bunch of people so that way you can reach your 15 or we can have a conversation?! I forgot about that 15 post deal!

I just got a PCC also and have had good luck with it. No instructions so I just am winging it. It also has two lights. When I plug the PCC into the USB for charging itself, one of the leds of the PCC turns red. It will eventually turn green after about a couple of hours or so. I take this as it is fully charged. With the PCC removed from the USB port it is (I have assumed) ready for use. I screw the battery to be charged in place. The battery will blink 3 or 4 times then go out. The other red light on the PCC comes on. After a couple of hours that led will go out. So now I have no lights on my PCC with the battery still in place. I take the battery out and it is charged. No way to tell if you have the same brand PCC. I have read where there are 'smart' or 'dumb' PCCs.

Charging my KR8 batteries with a wall or usb charger, the batteries initially blink 3 or 4 times then go out. When I don't have them connected correctly they will continually blink sometimes. I have noticed this behavior on my PCC.

Hopefully a PCC expert can help you out. I recommend getting a wall charging unit. I don't trust this as my primary charging source although it hasn't failed me yet.

Welcome to the forum and good luck..

Well, despite the funny signals when charging, it vapes pretty well and has been consistent. I'm totally satisfied with it.

The marlboro/mint PG flavors that came with it didn't really fit my fancy, but luckily CigEasy threw in a sample carto of VG RY4 that is really awesome. After vaping a few times I tried to smoke an analog, and it was kind of a let down. I think I'm converted for good!
