My Ego arrived today.....question

[Lyndagayle]

I've searched and searched for this info and can't find anything so here I am calling on all my helpful friends for an answer. I read the instructions that came with it and it said a two hour charge is needed for a fully discharged battery but nothing about the first time charge. I'm going nuts here wanting to try it out and it's been charging for nearly 4 hours and still isn't green. Do I need to wait for the green light or is the Ego like the 510 in that the batteries need no training. I don't want to mess up the life of it if it needs a really long charge before I use it for the first time but sitting here staring at that red light and wanting to dive into it is almost more than I can stand! Help!

No worries Lynda!

AS long as your light is green, you are good to go! Most ego batts come mostly charged. I have 10 of them and didnt wait the full charge time on any of them, and all but two are going strong. (Those two had some other issues that were fixed asap)

HAppy vaping and enjoy your ego!

Welcome, when I received my Ego kit from Janty, it came with two batteries...One I put on the charger and the other I couldn't wait, so right out of the box...I used it...worked great...The one I charged took less then 1 hour to charge....Try taking the battery off your charger and re-screwing it on the charger slowly...Also, I found that for my Ego auto batteries, I have to "unscrew them" a little from the charger for them to connect correctly....The best of luck....and hope you love your Ego and I do mine....Again,
Welcome and Enjoy the Adventure...

But my light is NOT green. If a fully discharged battery is supposed to charge in two hours, it seems like a new one would be charged and green in four hours. I might just go at it since you've done it with no bad effects. This is like opening a new toy at Christmas and having to set it aside and not play with it. LOL

Lyndagayle,

You did say you bought your Ego from Janty?

Just use one and charge the other. unscrew it and screw it back on. could be a connection thing. You will love it..

Lyndagayle,

Got it from Cignot. They are the only company I have dealt with. I love their super fast service.

I did it, I did it!!! I left the one on the charger after I took it off and screwed it back on and got the other one loaded with a fresh new cartridge and man oh man....just wow! Clouds of vapor----awesome! Whoo hoo! Thanks everyone for talking me into it.

I just got an email from Vicki. What I did not know is there's a light on the USB connection that turns green and NOT the light on the wall charger. LOL I would have been waiting until this time tomorrow and still would not have had a green light. Sheesh, I'm still such a newb!

Glad you charged it. But bear in mind that a normal charger will take up to 6 hours or so. The USB fast charger takes under 2 hours.

Enjoy the Adventure and the Ego....
