[steliosak]

hmmm you will charge your [most likely] made in china cell phone ,but not your made in china ecig ??

things that make you go hmmm hmm hmmm

i know people in other countries countries that believe vampires are real,because they "Heard" they are real

too many "what if's"

Yes I do (made in Korea actually) as there is a huge cost and build quality difference between the two.

Look we have far digressed from the original post.

Each I believe is entitled to his opinions and can and should formulate them for himself.

Thanks for your help everyone! The problem is, I don't have another usb port, i don't think. Just on my laptop. How can I get it to charge in the wall? Can I buy an external usb port that plugs into a wall socket?

Yes you can- I just got a 2 amp unit here hoosierecigsupply for my 'hardwired' passthrough. 2 amp is a pretty powerful one but they do have 1/2 amp units also. $6.99 is a good price.

Is this the Volcano "Volcano" model? Very weak choice, only 90mah of charge. It should give more than 5 drags though unless

- it was damaged with liquid (it's a auto battery right? with an open hole in the threaded end)
- it was damaged by using too low ohms atomizer or cartomizer (should only use 2.5 to 3 ohm single coils on slim ecigs)
- you are actually dragging too long for it and see flashing because you reached the safety cutoff (usually fast flashing then a possible timeout then will work again). Some batteries have cutoffs as short as 5 seconds

You can probably get a USB wall charger to use with your e cig charger at almost any store that sell electronics.

first,don't get me started on korean stuff
vampires are real,,just ask my mother n father -inlaw..at one point my wife {filipino} believed vampires were real also,,she described where they lived in alaska,,she described the movie "30 days of night" perfectly,,,,i work 100 miles from where the movie was based upon,,,showed her pictures of the area,,she felt kind of stupid after that

yea we have ventured from the original path of this thread,,subtly i was trying to say"get a real battery" and throw those slims,but they are perfect for some people i guess ??

check your cell phone charger. most newer cells come with a USB charger and USB cable for charging.

Make sure if you buy a wall wort to charge an e-cig that it's as least 500 ma one. Most made for cell phones are only 200ma max. Same goes for a car charger. I sometimes use my desktop to charge my ego batteries, never my laptop.

Strange thing with my company car is that the dashboard outlet charges my ego batteries, but the one in the console won't. I guess it can't supply 500 ma.

yeah, so i spent over twenty dollars on a usb port that plugs into the wall, and charged my e-cig for five hours, and again it only lasted about five puffs. i'm so frustrated!!!! and since this is the second volcano brand e-cig i've had that's done this, should i assume that the volcano brand is just junk and buy a different brand?

2 bad units in a row... I would move on to a different brand/type. Sorry about your bad experience. Do you have a local shop? VaporSearchUSA
