eGo-T And eGo-C Twist Charging??

[crazymew]

My eGo-T, which I've had for many moons. When I charge it, the charger turns red when charging and green when it has finished charging.

But my brand new eGo-C Twist is blinking between green and red when it's charging right at this very minute. Is this normal? Do I have something to worry about?

The Twist fire button is blinking or the LED on the charger?

If it's the charger: First, the battery may have arrived with a nearly full charge so what you are witnessing is a battery that's almost fully charged. You probably never noticed it before but the charger LED does blip back and forth from red to green during the charge cycle. The closer the charge cycle is to being completed the more frequently those green blips appear before it turns fully green.

Every time the charger flashes green, it is doing a voltage check of the battery. Once the battery reaches a full charge of ~4.2V, the light turns solid green. Not sure why it would act differently with the Twist than with the eGo-T. Next time you charge the eGo-T, watch the light on the charger. It is probably doing the same blinking, just not as noticeably. It should do it every 5-7 seconds. I doubt you have anything to worry about.

If you are worried, post a quick video so we can see exactly what it is doing, and we can say for sure.

Oh no, I vaped the eGo-C Twist hardcore until it died like the shop owner had advised me to. He said to vape it until it died before I charged it, so I did. It's just different.

When my eGo-T charges, the charger stays red and the battery's light stays on. The light turns off and the charger's light turns green when the battery has become fully charged.

The eGo-C Twist however is charging right now and the charging cycle looks different. The charger's light blinks between green and red while the battery's light stays on.

Is this normal for my new eGo-C battery?

Edit:
Space,

My eGo-T stays red until charged, or if it does blink it isn't something that is too noticeable.

But my brand-new eGo-C Twist is red for about 3/4 of a second, and for the 1/4 of a second it's green.

I don't know if it is anything to worry about, but I'm posting it here to not only ease my paranoia, but to make sure I'm not putting my battery in danger. It's the first-time charge, afterall.

I use an ego-C Twist and it does the same thing you're describing when charging. As others have stated above, it's normal.

Can you read off the specs on that charger dongle? It should have a ratings plate on it that states it's output current and voltage.

Thank you Arastir, for easing my paranoia. I just didn't know what to expect from this new battery, but since you use one too and it does the same thing, it puts me at ease.

I was more worried about it blowing up, or me wasting $24+ at my local vapor shop. I truly appreciate this.

Ok I just. Found this post.
My new vv battery has the actual light on the battery stay white, while charging.
Is that what you guys are getting, I'm getting worried but you just eased my fear..
Thanks
