I Got My PCC and new KR808d-1....

[Skeeterkck]

Well got my new PCC charger and a blue KR808d-1 E-cig today. Hmmmm.... What to do, what to do. Hmmm.... Well does anyone know how long to charge the PCC and the new e-cig? Didn't come with instructions. Shoot, so I need to ask someone, how long for each.

Thank you fellow vapers,

Did you only get one battery? I recommend having at least two. For a heavy vaper, the batteries last about as long as it takes them to charge. So it's good to have one charging, and one vaping. Also if you spend much time at your PC, a pass-thru will allow you to spare your batteries some wear and tear and they'll last a little longer. From what I understand they can only be recharged about 300 times, and that came from a retailer's web site so that's probably over-estimated.

Good luck and vape on!

There should be indicator lights that tell you when everything is charged. Most are red for charging, which turns to green when it's charged.

Thank you for reply.

No I already had 2 batteries, but it seemed that I was going through both in one day, so I got another one that is compatible with what I already had. Can't get a pass through yet, hubby says I need to cool down on the spending, lol.

As you can see, I am a newbie still at this vaping

It may be best to charge the PCC and battery separately. The PCC may need 4 hours to charge and only some PCCs are smart enough to alternate between charging the battery and charging itself. And yes get 2 batteries. True number of recharges one battery can take (according to some vendors) is more like 150.

And grats!

What do you mean by 150? What is the 150 for? As in minutes? lol Sorry not understanding.

If it's a standard KR8 PCC like I have, I think the top light indicates the PCC is charging or charged?

Then when it is used to charge a battery, the bottom light will indicate the charging status of the battery.

I haven't actually used my KR8 PCC yet - that is just what I was told.

Here you go - the PCC lights are explained in the VaporKing guide (Vapor4Life VaporKing is a KR808D-1)
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vapor4life/58027-vaporking-user-guide.html

And what I meant by 150 is in general an e-cig battery can be recharged 150 times before it won't recharge well anymore. The Chinese say 300 times but I have seen 150 stated as more realistic.

I started with a KR808 and still use it quite a bit. The batteries just don't last long, I always am swapping them off the charger. I got mine from smoketip.com, it was more expensive than most 808 kits but the batteries are guaranteed for life, when they won't hold a charge any more you just send them back and they replace them.

KR8 batteries are the longest lasting batteries you can get in a slim ~120mm ecig - 280mah. Most other ~120mm ecigs have 180mah batteries. If the Smoketip is more like 103mm long then it is using the KR8 shorty batteries which are only 180mah.
