Not if it's the same charger plugged into USB or a USB to Wall adapter. All the adapter does is convert a 120VAC input to 5VDC output.
I generally hook mine up whenever I know it's going to be an hour or two before I vape again. At work I'll charge it off and on again throughout the day to make sure it stays up. And that's with it still having plenty of batt life. No issues so far as these batteries, as mentioned, don't have retention problems of NiCads
USB charging from a computer will take MUCH longer than if plugged into an AC outlet. IMHO, invest in a wall charger.
My ego twist (900 mah) only takes 2-3 hours max when charged by an AC outlet.

It seems as though the charging time is directly related to the charger output. The charger I purchased with my Ego twist kit (one 650mAh and one 1000mAh) is a plug in with a usb connect. It has 1000mAh output. I use the batteries until they blink and then turn off. At that point I plug it into the charger. They usually charge full in about an hour, at most 1 1/2- 2 hrs.
I'm looking into buying the same kinda battery. Is there a certain type of charger i should buy for it?
My gf has the 650 mAh, first time charging after using it, took about 8 hours to charge.
Contacted Joye about this, as per their technical support, charge times are between 4 and 8 hours.

I first bought a rive 1100 deluxe kit and still use that charger (output DC 4.2V -- 420mA)
bought the ego-C twist 1000 mah to get my first VV batt.
you receive new batteries with a 70% charge witch is standard if im not mistaken and as I do with all batteries,
I charge them first till 100% then use for a half an hour and recharge them for a few hours even if they are full.
now the first time I charge my ego-C twist batt. when it is totally drained...
put it in to charge (usb port on pc, witch supports usb charging when PC is off)
at 10AM , now almost 10PM and still charging. PC may have been off for a few hours during that time. (still charges and usb slot still get 5 volts. the input of the charger is DC 5V)
Is this normal?

I have the 650 mah ego c and have the same issue. What I do its after about 3 hours I take it off the charger, fire it a few times then put it back on the charger and no more than an hour or so later its green and good to go
Hmm, my 1000mAh twist charged within about 30 minutes out of the package, i'm assuming they sent it out with a charge though. I usually vape until the battery is either dead or near-dead and it only takes a few hours to get a full charge.
im charging a totally drained ego-C twist battery 1000mah for over 18 hours now... still not fully charged. according to the chargers indicator (red with a blinking green every 5 secs)
im guessing its the chargers output that's too low as im still using the charger that came with my riva 1100 deluxe kit (Ego/Riva/Echo USB Charger With Cord (510) )>has a output of 420mah according to the site I bought it from vapeescape
still, I dont think this is normal... 18 hours seems to much

kotje I have the same charger and it works in 2.5 hours to charge my twist. I'd say you have a bad charger. It should be green when you plug it in and then when you screw on the battery it will turn red till full charge and then will go green again.
it already charged my ego-C twist (1000mah) and my 2 riva batteries (1100mah) without any issues
ill check tomorrow with a totally drained riva battery to check I guess
i have been with it constantly ... with a few breaks
started at 8 AM i think its 2.31AM the next day ...
Are you charging it through the computer and do all your other batts charge quickly? I would def get wall charger and looks like you may have to send that bat back if everything else works.
