I'm using an OSUB mini kit and I'm worried about why it isn't charging properly.
The battery usually lasts for a good day, sometimes a day and a half but whenever I plug it in to charge the red charging light doesn't stay lit up for long. I noticed it goes out after a minute or so and only comes back on when I press the on button.
Is there a reason for this?

I'm speculating, but maybe the battery is charging more rapidly than you expect, and the charging light is going off because the charger thinks its job is done.

If you're getting good use out of the device, don't worry about it. If time between charges has dropped off, maybe do as @Tripleheadkick78 says and get a new charger. I have an old, cheap eGo USB charger that does the same thing unless I thump it one good time.

Sooner or later though, that mod is gonna die completely. 1350mah is not a high capacity, all day every day workhorse battery.

IDK, I would take it in to get looked at by a brick and mortar store, if you can (and definitely, if it's growing to be less time between charges. It could be your USB port, device, who knows.) How old is the battery? If it still seems to be charging correctly, then yeah, fine, but it sounds like maybe it isn't. It could be that you've vaped all the good juju out of that battery stick and you need something new. Might try a low end box mod with removable batteries to see how you like it, you can probably try one out, even if you aren't vaping high wattage?

Sounds like your tank is fine, so if you like it, no need to replace it.

Welcome and glad you joined.
Many possible reasons for this type of malfunction.
Could check with:
Vendor who sold it ---see if they will repair or replace or advise (any authorized distributor).
Manufacturer contact ---see if they will repair or replace or advise. email: support@smoktech.com
