I have a vision spinner 1300 mah, I charged it out of the box yesterday to a full charge and prob vaped on it for about 3-4 hours of continuous use before I put it on the charger today at 4ish....well its almost 10 and it is still not charged. Does it usually take this long for everyone else? I was still able to vape out of it and didn't see the red in the light so I didn't think it was low,but man, 6 hours is a long time. I was just wondering if this is normal or if I have an issue.

No it should not take anywhere near that long.

What kind of charger are you using? Does the charger have a flashing red light that will flash green every few seconds? The light on the Spinner should come on when you connect it, is it doing anything?

One thing you could try, take something small and GENTLY pry up on the center post of the Spinner, do this all the way around, I repeat do this gently. Sometimes these center post get pushed down by juice delivery systems or over tightening a delivery system on the battery.

well just as I go and check it was on green. Yes the light was blinking green every couple seconds while it was charging. I did notice that the light was staying on and turned it off and then re-attached it. I don't know what it was,hopefully it isn't an issue but I'm not going to expect it to end here. Sucks because I love it compared to my ego-twist.

I've got a 1200mah SBL Ego V and takes about 4 hours to top off from a full days use, though I uses a mini usb plug on the bottom. Could be a difference if like the Ego Charger compared to a 510 charger, the Ego charger will blow a 510 battery up being 450mah output where the 510 charger outputs 150mah, if using a 510 charger on an Ego takes a bit longer to charge the bigger battery. Just a couple ideas.

Just an FYI, the light comes on if the battery is discharged - I'd estimate - more than half. It will turn off when charging is almost complete. The light being on has nothing to do with if your battery is on or off when charging.

My 1300mAh spinners can take up to 3-4 hours (on a wall charger) to charge after a full days vaping. Check the head that screws into the battery, mine is 420mAh, so charging a 1300mAh battery should take about 3 hrs from fully discharged.

Nice post, the charger that comes with the spinners states that it cannot be used with the 510 batteries because of that very reason. So if you OP are using a 510 battery charger that is only pumping out 150mAh, it could take 7-9 hours to charge your spinner.
