Hello All,
My name is Tommy.
I need to know if I can use a different wall charger w/ the same input & output to charge my 510 T.

I just got a kit & straight from the box charged it for 12 hrs. the led never changed to green,I tried using it & it vaped for maybe 1/2 hre & went dead same thing w/ the other batt.
So I think it's the charger..

If the part you think is bad might just be the power supply (AC plug to female USB), you could try plugging in the actual charger (male USB to PV connector) on a normal PC USB port, see if that works. Otherwise, if it is the PS, you should be able to use any other USB PS, though ideally it would have an output of roughly the same (or greater) than the one you think might be bad.
 
Ok.
The usb that they gave me has no led,only the wall charger.
I pulled the usb & tried to charge it from my pc so far no good mybe it's the batt's are no good?
Both of them?
IDK.

Thats why I'm wondering if I switched out the wallcharger & just took the usb they gave me & connected it the this other charger if it would work.Only thing is I'd have to keep track of time b/c this other charger doesn't have an led so I know it's fully charged..

Dam this is a mess..
I just returned this crap Blu so I could get the Joye 510 T & now I've got nothing. I'm so frustrated..

The center post of the battery's connector can be gently pried up, just a little, with thumb tack or needle. Literally just barely pry it up, then put the pin under it at a second spot along the edge, again gently pry it up.

(Sometimes a given carto or atty will nudge the center post down a little when you screw it onto the battery, you need to pry it up slightly when switching atties/cartos or putting it on the charger.)

At least on the Riva type 510, you will see the battery LED flash several times when it makes contact and starts to charge. I forget what happens at end of charge, whether it's that the battery LED was on during charge and goes out, or the LED was out and goes on.
