cool. thanks for the reply. I figured out that the charger for the one I ordered is just different from the other 510 posts around here that I had been reading. I just got confused because I read so many posts saying the light turns green when the battery is ready. Apparently the innovapor people decided to mix things up a bit.
I took the battery off and put the other one on and it started flashing immediately. I have been using the charged battery since it came off with no noticeable drop in performance, which isn't really saying much since I've only puffed on it about 8 times.
I must be a natural with the auto batteries or something though, because the first time I tried it I got so much vapor I almost choked. I don't find it different at all from smoking analogs, but I guess I always used to inhale slowly into my mouth then inhale into my lungs anyway, so it's really the same process.
Anyway, I'm loving it so far. Well, aside from the fact that I don't think I managed to burn off all of the primer fluid before I inhaled the first few times. I was thinking "I don't know what these people see in these things, they're terrible," but then the nasty went away and the goodness kicked in.
