Do I need to charge 8 hours before using?

[kathie]

Just got my kit in the mail, do I need to charge the batteries for 8 hours before using? Would like to get started right away.

They come 80% charged, I would go ahead and start vaping.

No.....the batteries have been about 80% charged before they were sent to you.
Vape away on one, and put the other on the charger until fully charged. Happy
vaping!

Hi Kathie,

No, just put on your favorite cart and vape away. The batteries are usually 80+% charged when you get them, so enjoy ;-)

Not needed. Put one battery on the charger to top it off if it doesn't immediately turn green (fully charged), and use the other one for the time being.
When the battery is discharged to the point that it needs charging, there's circuitry to protect it -- the LED will flash multiple times and the battery will stop working for vaping.

Welcome to the V4L family Kathie!!

Good advise from everyone above.

Put one batt on the charger and start vaping immediately with the 2nd batt. No problem!

I'd never be able to wait 8 hours with a new gadget either!

Make sure to drop in and let us know how it's going. This group of folks is about as helpful as can be!!

I put the 2nd battery on there and the little light was green right away. Should I take it off of there or leave it for 8 hours? And the first battery, when it runs out should I charge for 8 hours the first time?

These batteries are not the kind of batteries that develop a "memory", you can charge them whenever you want, for however long you want, and not have to wait for them to be fully charged if you want to use it right away.
