eGo T Mod charge time?

[hrlw817]

Hello everyone! My wife recently got a pink eGo T mod and she loves it! My question is how long is this thing suppost to charge from completely dead? So far, it's been almost 5 hours. I use the USB charger that's plugged into the wall at the moment. Any ideas??

The chargers are usually rated at 420ma, but that is peak current. It will fall to almost nothing for the last hour or so.
If you have a 1000mah eGo, 5 hours is probably a little long, Keep an eye on it, another hour or so then disconnect it, and go ahead and vape it. Try again tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply. This is a 18650 battery with 2600mah's. I was almost thinking this little charger is not quite strong enough to charge this bad boy.

Ha, I use the eGo charger to charge my home made 18650, parallel 18650, and 26650 mods
(and a 32650 5000mah mod).
Unlike your eGo Mod that charges automatically, I have to hold the switch down to charge.
You have a couple more hours to go
The little eGo charger will handle the job just fine, if you have the time.

One thing to watch with the eGo style charger is not to over tighten it, or let a heavy mod hand on the cord. Wipe the connector each and every time before you connect the mod. As with any Li-ion charger, keep flammables away from your charging station. Bad things don't happen often, but they do happen.

I won a nice 'store bought' mod and gave it to my wife. I "sneak vape" it also
