NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Do not leave it on overnight.
It'll take a couple of hours... maybe.

The ego type chargers are cheaply made, occasionally one will malfunction which might result is sparks or flame.
Best practice is to charge on a non flammable surface and never charge batteries unattended.
It should have a light that will be red when a battery is installed and during the majority of the charge cycle, it should change to red / green alternating blink as it nears the end of the cycle turning steady green when fully charged.

I'm new to this, but not to lithium battery charging. I fly RC helicopters which run 6 cell (22.2V) lithium polymer batteries which can literally burn a house down if not handled properly
Never charge lithium batteries unattended, and never deplete them below about 20% of their fully charged capacity. If you deplete them too far, you will risk ruining the battery, and you will also risk raising the internal resistance of the battery, which causes them to overheat when being charged (and drained). Phones and tablets have lithium batteries, too, but their charging circuits are pretty smart. That said, I left an old iPhone plugged in for close to two years straight and had it mounted to a wall to use as an iPod, and the battery swelled so much over time that it cracked and blew the screen out of it.

Well - IF everything is working 100% in the battery and the charger, then it will be fine.
BUT, if something fails, then the possibilities are not good.
My first ever e-cig battery (kGo) developed a fault. I took it out my house and took it 100 metres away to let it die in peace. Shame, I liked that battery.
