just got the 901 today, having fun with it...anyway. cash pre-charges for us (thanks steve),so i started using immediately, but i put the second battery on charge to "top it off". so heres the question.... should i be afraid of overcharging? can i charge overnight in general(like 8 hours)? think im gonna go up and take the other off charge to be safe...lol.

same here, no problems with long charges. The batteries and/or chargers have a cut-off that drops the charge rate to almost nothing once the battery is full

Unless the charger is defective & is smoking or on fire within a few hours I see no problem. I frequently leave multiple chargers working overnight without any problem.

I'm terrible for putting things on to charge (not just e-cig batts) and forgetting about them. :oops:

I frequently have my e-cig batteries charging for a lot longer than the required 3-4 hours (usually left on over night) and it doesn't seem to bother them.

Ironically though, I seem to count down the minutes until my initial charge has reached the 8 hour minimum charge required for me to try out a new style/ or new LED colour. :oops:

I got my first 901 from Steve last Monday (12/15) and both batteries were fully charged and ready to go. I know in the past (from reading the board) that sometimes he gets too busy to fully charge them, but he'll include a note if they aren't charged.

I have a rotating routine set up now for batteries; one battery usually dies around 11:00 AM, and I let it charge until I leave work at 4:00. The second battery usually dies around 7:00 PM, and I let it charge overnight...

lol sam, do you vape both at once? one in each hand? i didnt smoke a lot...maybe a pack a day, but was used to going 4 hours at a time with nothing because of work. im gonna try the 36 mg stuff, because i dont want to vape a lot, just want the "fix".i have low nic stuff if the puff mood strikes me, but the 16mg stuff is making me feel like i need to puff twice as much as when i smoked
