ego 650 mah vv battery charging for too long?

[ranger 1110]

Hi I'm a new member and have only been vaping for a week. Bought an ego 650 mah vv battery and its been charging for about 4 1/2 hours. Is this normal for a first charge?

What are you charging it on? A wall socket or your computer? At any rate, the most important thing to watch out for is a hot battery while on the charger. If it's getting hot, take it off! I'm not talking about warm BTW (as most if not all batteries get warm while charging), I'm talking hot.

Charging with my USB charger on my laptop. Broke the wall charger yesterday. Lol. It's not even warm. Just seems like an awfully long time to charge. My kgo 1100 mah battery charges in 4 hours. Very strange.

I'm no computer expert, but I would think it would take longer to charge on a laptop vs a wall socket, which is why I asked. As long as it's not getting hot, you should be fine.

Thanks. Light has just gone green. Lol. Patience isn't one of my strong points. Lol. Guess I will be buying a new wall charger. Or a passthru. Lol.

A little lesson on passthroughs.

If the passthrough has an inline battery, like this one, it's fine to plug it directly into the computer.

If the passthrough does not have an inline battery, like this one, you will need to get an adapter like the second link shows, and plug it into a wall outlet. If you don't do this with these types of passthroughs, you run the risk of harming your computer.

5 VOLT USB PASS THROUGH (REQUIRES SUFFICIENT POWER SOURCE)
USB WALL ADAPTER FOR 510 or EGO USB CHARGER

The easiest way to tell the difference is, if it says you can unplug and keep on vapin, you're good to go. If you can't do that, you need the adapter.

Passthrough Lesson #101 is now complete!

Ooooppps! I guess the computer appreciated my lesson so much, it decided to double post!
