Got my 510 today

[i2ain]

Okay i got my 510 today, messed around with it, then went to charge the battery. The paper says to charge it 8 hours, use for 20 mins, 1 hour.

I pluged it in at 5:30, but 8 hours from then will be 1:30 and i obviously don't want to stay up to unplug it.

So my question is, can i unplug it at about 1130, then do 2 hours tomarrow, then 20 mins, then 1 hour? or do i have to stay up until 2:50 ?

Sorry if this is a dumb question

I don't see a problem with that but someone with more knowledge should chime in soon. Welcome to ECF and good luck

Not a dumb question - get it all the time. What is dumb is the instructions for a lithium ion battery that has instructions for a nicad.

As soon as you see the green light you're good to go..... vape on!! and welcome.

Technical backup:

Charging lithium-ion batteries

"Lithium-ion is a very clean system and does not need priming as nickel-based batteries do. The 1st charge is no different to the 5th or the 50th charge. Stickers instructing to charge the battery for 8 hours or more for the first time may be a leftover from the nickel battery days."

Other good stuff:

Do and don't battery table

"Do charge the battery often. The battery lasts longer with partial rather than full discharges."

So, unless you're saving up batts to go somewhere - ie if you're just at home and vaping - then as soon as the charger goes green, it isn't a bad idea to change batts. That way, you also get the benefit of the 'peak voltage' right off the charger - ie. 'more vapor'. And longer lasting batteries.

I only spent 'too much time at Outside' from some people's view. lol. I did my stint there and like all political discussions - after awhile nothing really new comes up and you start grinding territory already covered. The only differences are the adjectives that you use to pin on your opponents. ;-) Pretty good bunch of people over there on both sides though. I may return but I said what I wanted there. Back to the old routine here. Next project will be a big classified ad to sell some of the stuff I haven't used or don't use anymore. Lots of stuff as you might imagine.

I've been doing a ton of trading lately.
It works out pretty well.

The classifieds section has been helpful.
And the Pay-It-Forward Social Group has been great.

I have been giving away stuff I don't need to people who want it.
And I've been able to try lots of new things in the process.

Alright cool thanks guys.

Also, with the second battery right off the box, i dripped some PG in the atty, and vaped away. Then i did about 40 drops lorannes watermelon and 60 PG and did a lil mix, and dripped that. Couldn't really taste the watermelon though? I'm mainly just trying to make a 0 nic for chain vaping. Thanks.

I saw that thread there. Actually, I don't have that much to 'try' anymore. lol. I made some large purchases for those ejuices that have remained constant joys for me and I have the hardware and stuff for at least 2 years now.
