E Smokey treats first time charge

[nasachusetts]

Hello,
I recently made a purchase for the DSE901 mini on e-smokeytreats and was instructed that the batteries no longer come pre-charged. He states I will have to charge for 3-4 hours before the first use and at this moment is charging. When I initially put it on the charger, the led was red, howeverr after about a half hour the led changed to green. Now, is this because the charging is complete or do I still need to keep it on there for 3-4 hours? Is it still charging with a green led?
BTW I am new here and from what I've seen this is the most comprehensive place on the internet relating to vaping, I'm very impressed with the wealth of knowledge and experience I've seen heere so far.

Not sure about that model. Mine is red when charging and green when fully charged. I was also told it would be about 3-4 hours but it was actually charged in 30 mins.

Well that is what I thought but then after I read the instructions he clearly states that the first time should be 3-4 hours and then it should only takes 2 hours after that first initial charge. So I see green led and I think its done, but does the led change by a timer or by measuring the capacity of charge? Does it have a cutoff when charge is complete or does it keep charging even when the led is green? Stupid question but I just want to make sure it is fully charged the first time.

from what I've read, first charge should be 6-8hrs, after that, charging should be 2-3hrs. I think the light turns green fairly quickly, than goes into a trickle charge.

I have purchased from E-smokietreats.com and the battery comes with a primary charge. They may not charge them, but the factory gives them like an 75% charge in my opinion.. I ran into the same problem but ended up using them when the charger went green.. I also tested the other one..

One bat on the charger for 4 hours vs. using one straight out of the box till dead.

Charged battery lasted - about 4 hours
Battery straight out of the box lasted - about 4 hours

Not a big deal really.

From what I understand the indicator light on the charger is not to be trusted. Go with the advice you were sent and ignore the light. Sometimes mine blink red/green. Very festive.

OK thanks for the replies I just tried it out and it works great... Tastes different not at all like a camel cigarette but damn I haven't had a nicotene buzz in a long time.
