Ego twist when charging

[Sunshinefl8788]

I just got my ego twist yesterday and I am using the same charger that I had for my ego T (was told that was okay) I noticed that the red light flickers while it is charging, maybe it did it with the ego t but I never noticed it..The flicker is kind of like a pulse, it never actually goes off....Is this normal?

Is this happening throughout the entire charging process or only when the battery is just about to reach a full charge?

My ego t charger also flickers quite a bit, but only when the battery is almost charged. It starts flickering just red first and the seems like it alternates green and red at the very end before going completely green.

Wanda, mine does the same thing. I've had my Twist for 4 months and it always does this throughout the charge cycle. I get a full charge in about 4hrs. Blink away, it's charging. If you're using a wall charger look at the label and make sure it's a 5V-500mA charger, otherwise it's gonna take lots longer. Don't worry about the blinking it's normal.

Yep, the eGo-T charger is fine for charging the Twist batteries.

You may be experiencing some trouble from dust/debris/liquid buildup.

Get yourself a Qtip and moisten it with rubbing alcohol. Clean off all the contact surfaces and let dry before use. That could help out with the connection.

Yes, it does it the entire time...I never noticed this happening with my Ego T but can't say I ever really paid attention. It is now flashing from red to green...been on charge for about 4 hours.

This is normal. The USB charger checks the charge of the battery every 5 or so seconds, so it knows when to stop charging once the battery is full. As the battery gets closer to a full charge, the frequency of the red to green flicker will increase until the light turns solid green.

Keep calm and carry on.

(Taking deep breath) thank you I was getting worried because of all the back ups I have, that is the one thing that never crossed my mind I ordered one yesterday!

I should have read a little more before starting a thread on this very same issue. Only, my charger has only shown "green" twice when it was completely screwed in during the four or so weeks I've been using it. I charge it over night.

Yup. It is typically called a wall adapter or wall wart.

Mine does this as well.

What if the charger is alternating between red and green every second? It's constantly red-green-red-green-red-green...

My twist starting flashing 10 times (some say this means a dead battery?)

 

[BostonVape]

yup both of mine do the same thing..nothing to worry about
