I ordered a 901 (MyVaporStore) that came in three days, which was great. When I opened the box, I was kind of surprised that the actual brand is Smoking Anywhere? I guess that's okay, I don't know the brands well enough to differentiate.

I ordered the black with blue LED and when I plugged the batteries in to charge them, they blink red??? The light on the charger also turned green after probably half an hour but I still charged/am charging them 8 hours. I need to cut my liquid yet so I haven't attempted vaping, I'm waiting until tomorrow when I'm here alone to play with it. Should the LED blink red like that? Any input on the Smoking Anywhere brand?

I ordered a 901 from ElectroNicStix and when I plugged it in it blinked green (I ordered a blue LED). It hasn't charged yet, so I can't comment on the color, but I imagine it is, in fact, green instead of blue. I'll check the other battery once this one is charged.

Parked sent me a Dura-C to replace my Kissbox, and when I plugged in the auto battery, it blinked blue, which was the expected color.

I don't imagine these things have multiple LED switches or colors---they're just too small.

I tend to ignore colored lights - probably because I am partially color blind. Rather, I use recommended charging times per the user instructions. Recharge times are infinitely more accurate than lights. Light colors are like the gas gauge on your car - pretty much useless in determining how much gas you have left. Stick with recharging times and you are golden.

I ordered metallic blue 801's from MVS. They are un-named for brand. The fancy boxes simply say "Electronic Cigarette".

Our batteries have a blue light that blinks orange when connecting to the chargers. Maybe 4-5 blinks when it makes initial contact. All four batteries do this when they need any charge at all. This is normal.

Your battery may have come with a fairly good charge. At least one of ours was mostly charged upon arrival. Deplete the battery tomorrow and I'll bet your charger light stays red for a few hours.

Was probably picked, and packed by a color blind employee.

Yeah, it blinked orange but is supposed to have a blue LED so that's good to hear.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I just got an 801 and i've been charging the batteries until the light goes green(sometimes longer if i am sleeping or out. Even when i take them off as soon as the light goes green i seem to get the same time though. I've been getting 5+ hours from my batts. Even with them being finicky and triggering the atty by themselves sometimes. I vape quite a bit as well.....
