My battery lasts for about 30 minutes!

Is it normal for a e-cig a little smaller than a normal cigarette to have really bad battery life? I spent about 35 pounds on a starter kit and it seems to run out as soon as I started vaping on it. Its the first e-cig I've had so I'm not sure if this is the norm for starter kits that don't have spectacular battery. I was just expecting a little longer to e-smoke it before I have to keep putting it back on the personal charging case.

Also when I'm charging it and the LED light goes off that means its fully charged? Or if I keep it on will it carry on charging? Same with the case, when the cases light goes off if I keep it in the mains will it charge even more?

On the manual it says I should charge it for 8 hours before first use but I started using it after 2 hours because the light went out about 50 minutes after I put it on charge.

What brand is it?

Do you have the correct cartomizer on your battery. If you're using low resistance carto it will shorten battery life. Is your charger working properly? Did you charge your pcc?

Smaller than a normal cig? Absolutely. Most cig like batteries last under two hours with moderate vaping. It'd be best for you to get a fat bat (ego, riva, etc) or a mod. General rule of thumb the bigger it is the longer it lasts

I don't know of any battery that only lasts a half hour but as swedishfish says we need more information

Also when I'm charging it and the LED light goes off that means its fully charged? Or if I keep it on will it carry on charging? Same with the case, when the cases light goes off if I keep it in the mains will it charge even more?

That depends on the charger. The first 80 to 90% of a battery charge goes the fastest and that is when the light of a fast charger goes on. It takes much longer to charge it the rest of the way and some chargers will keep on charging and some won't.

I'm gonna take a guess, its either a Rok or a Tecc. My knowledge on the Rok is limited.

The Tecc is a 90 mAh battery. 30 minutes is about right for "heavy" or chain vapeing. When I used my Blu (another 90 mAh battery), I was able to drive to work on a charge, then had to switch out by break time.

You will have to read the instruction manual on the PCC. If its a "smart PCC", it should stop chargeing on its own. Some PCCs you have to disconect the battery.
