I got an ego-T PT in a classy sale and the cable that came with it doesn't fit the PT. So I can't use it as a PT and don't even know if I can charge it. I have an ego-t wall charger and a reg ego wall charger. Can I charge the PT with either of these wall chargers?

I think you just neeed a mini usb charger -- you can pick them up locally as about any place that sells cell phone or computer gear.
The mini side goes in the battery and the other side in your "wall rodent" or computer USB port. (you do have to remove the end cap on the battery to find the mini port on the battery).
I don't know if you can charge from "normal" threaded side with your other ego chargers -- but I don't think it would hurt to try.

Yes. I have charged an eGo PT with a regular eGo charger but just go get a usb-to-mini-usb cable - really cheap almost anywhere and that should work.
I'm aware of how to charge with a cable, I just wasn't sure if I could use my ego-t wall adapter to charge it. Thanks Kent C for answering my question. I'll give it try. I didn't want to buy a cable if I don't have to.
Ok
- on knowing how to use it.... and you're welcome. I have a 1000m.amp car charger cable I have in my car and have the PT hooked up while driving then disconnect when I get where I'm going. Works fine.

Hey tmcase, quick way to be sure....there should be an information label on the chargers that tells you what the output current and voltage are.
An eGo (or eGo-T) charger is 4.2V DC / 420mA
You can charge the USB eGo battery with either of the eGo chargers you mentioned. Just check the tag on it to be sure, there's quite a few copies running around these days. Don't go burning your house down.

Both my ego-t & reg ego wall chargers are 5v output and 500ma, same with my Riva. So now what? Does this mean I shouldn't use them to charge my ego-t battery?
Wall chargers can be higher. But the chargers are rated 'input 5v 500ma' and 'output 4.2V 420ma' - all I've seen.
All 3 of mine are definitely rated 5v output and 500ma. But you said that you charge your ego-t with your reg ego or ego-t wall charger so I'm going to go with that and give it a try. Thanks for your help.
Just FYI for those reading this....
There's two sets of #'s... the one quoted above is for the A/C->USB adapter (5 volts).
The other set of #'s is for the charger cord that plugs into it and usually says something like "4.2 volts, 420 ma" and has a battery connector that screws into an e-cig. THAT'S the one that counts most.... and where you have to pay attention to the amps and match up the devices properly.
Of course, PTs have a built-in charger... so they just need the AC->USB adapter and the proper cord.
Ok, hopefully this will clear things up. My ego adapters say output 5v 500ma. The charger cord says output 4.2v 420ma. I'm assuming that all is still good to go for using them to charge my ego-t PT.
