Sure.
> Well I have the charged that came with the kit, the manual says it's usb but it has nothing to do with usb as far as I can tell, it's just the charger and a really small power cord to plug it into the wall outlet, it also have a small jack on the side for 12v input (for car adapter, but there's no car adapter on the kit)
Ok. I know the one. The one I mentioned is this one:
USB Charger(with cord) for Joye510 mini e-cig - Spare parts - Heaven-gifts.com Ruyandirect.com Best E-smoking Shop=
That has a red light when charging then when charged the green light comes on but the red light also flashes on every 5 seconds???
> The thing is that I'm not really sure that this charger is really monitoring the battery or not, I mean the first time I charge it it went green in about 30 minutes or so... but it only gave me like 10 puffs...
Hmmm. Strange. I've had batts come fully charged (ecigexpress) or partially - most others - I think the 'battery tech' is to have them around 40%. But 10 puffs would have been less than that.
> Then I charge the other one for 3 hours without caring about the green light and it last from 6pm to 1am.
You can't overcharge but it is recommended to keep the first charge on after the green light comes on but not for 8 hours like Spikey's video or the instructions - see the batteryuniversity site or other links on li ion on the net. The 8hrs is a holdover from the nicads.
> But now I know that it takes around 2 hours to charge, so if I got a green light i will wait for at least one hour, after one hour on the charger if the light goes green i will unplugged it... this makes sense right?
No need to unplug. Again you can overcharge. The only place where you might want to unplug is with a PCC where after the batt is charged, if the PCC internal batt is running low it may grab charge from the ecig batt. One poster said 'watch the center light' on the PCC and if it goes red take the ecig batt out. Makes sense to me.
