Typically I charge them on my laptop! Um...don't think I'll be doing that anymore!!!!!!!
It's really cheap insurance to buy a standalone multiple USB hub. They cost about $10.00, less if on sale.
That may have been the issue, I'm not Totaly clear on your set up but I have read numerous times not to mix chargers for different e cigs. I hope that was the what happened. Deffinately don't charge on your computer though. It would be terrible to lose it.
Sorry to hear that glad you're ok. You aren't supposed to charge ego batts with a 510 or 306 charger or especially a l88b (Blu, Volcano) charger. They have the same threading but the amount of current put thru the charger into the batts is different and can cause them to explode, or melt. The new ego-T batts cannot be charged with a regular ego charger either. I always label all my chargers so I know what they go to some of them look alike and I keep all the accessories in ziplocks labeled too just to make sure I don't mix them up.
eGo buttons (the hard plastic ones) tend to do that. I never had issues with mine because I knew it was happening so I always was careful. You can let them know about it sticking, they might replace it also. Other wise just be aware of what the light is doing after you let go of the button.
I think Vaporescence sells the real Joye stuff, but I could be wrong...
How do you know? The battery says eGo-T on it.
