MVP2 charging time

[erikbal]

Sorry about all of the questions lately. I have a little bit of ocd and tend to worry about things more than the average person. In the manual that came with my MVP2 it says with the supplied charger it should take 2.5 hours to fully charge the MVP. I just had it plugged in with my cell phone charger cable (android) and it was plugged in for around 2 hours and the light still didn't shut off. Also it was not even near empty, I was just attempting to top it off from around 3.9v. This seems like a long time to me and I was just wondering what your experiences are. Is using the cell phone micro usb cable not charging it as fast as the supplied cable would?
Also a friend of mine got his MVP the same day that I did (last Friday) and as of last night he was yet to charge it and had over 900 puffs on it and was at 3.7v remaining. I believe he's been running it around 4.2-4.4v with the supplied iclear30. This seems like a LOT of puffs to me and amazing battery life, better than mine in fact. I have yet to keep track of how many puffs I get from a full charge because I find myself topping it off often, and everything I've read says it's ok to do with lithium ion batteries. What are your experiences with battery life? Is his just really outstanding or is mine not where it should be? Sorry again I tend to over think things and have generalized anxiety disorder so it causes me to over think things and worry excessively about things I shouldn't! As usual, thanks!

You're probably just worried too much on it, I tend to get around 1000 puffs or so on a charge. Usually vaping at 7 to 8 watts. I top mine off all the time but it's not bad to let it get to yellow. Also I just use my galaxy s4 charger, works great.

Just checked mine, 890 puffs from fully charged and it's only down to 3.7 volts (and glowing yellow). I usually use it down to 3.5 to 3.6 volts or about 1000 puffs. It takes mine about 4 to 5 hours to fully recharge from that point with the wall charger from my EVOD kit with a USB to micro cable.

I tend to do my battery in a day..... around 1000 vapes, some times i,ll drop it down from 7.5w to save the battery but tend to pre press before a long draw, so i kinda cane the battery, but hey... i enjoy it that way!!!

So in nutshell.....your battery only contains so much heat and you use it as you will!

Oh.... almost forgot......Charging from drained to full takes me over 4 hours, But mine charges via 12v supply but doubt if that should make much difference.

No way they recharge in 2.5 hours once it gets to a yellow light. My MVP 2.0 charges in about 4 hours, my MVP 1.0 in about five from a wall outlet. Charging from a computer is likely going to take a lot longer. I get anywhere from 800 to 1100 puffs on the MVP depending on the ohms of my topper, 650-900 on the MVP 1.0.

mine generally takes around 3 to 3.5 hours to charge from yellow to full,,,,,,,I rarely let it get to red,,,,,,
