New to the forum with a question

[garyd]

Hi all, new to the forum. I smoked Marlboros for 38 years and the old lungs can't take it anymore (or the pocketbook). Ordered a dse 901 from Arno last week and some juice. Very good service and fast delivery. I'd just like to say that I really enjoy the vaping experience so far and hope I never have to go back to the analogs. If I quit all together that's fine and if I just vape for the rest of my life I'm good with that as it's better than igniting tobacco and inhaling the toxins produced, maybe can add a few years to my life. Overall I'd just like to say thanks, this is a great site with tons of excellent information!

Welcome! Good luck on dropping the analogs.

I couldn't agree more about the this site. They do have excellent information, as well as a great community of very helpful and nice people.

Oops, forgot my question. Is it ok to leave the battery on the charger after the light turns green (charged) or will it overcharge and kill the battery?
Thanks,
Gary

I smoked analogs for over thirty years, as well. I quit on an 801/penstlye device, but could easily have quit with a 901. Don't worry too much about leaving the battery in the charger too long. I have not found this to be a problem.

That's great Gary, and welcome to the forum. I started vaping just to cut down on my smoking. I never planned to quit entirely, I didn't think I could after 46 years of smoking.
Well, I haven't had a cigarette in almost four months.

Good luck with your plans.

From what I've read here, yes, it's fine. Once the light turns green the charging stops.

Man you guys and gals are great! Awesome support here from what I see so far! One more question for now, how do I post an avatar ( pic of myself ) ?

Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary! You may need a min. post count (don't recall) but you can change your avatar via the User CP (control panel) tab. Then on the left you'll see a section on settings...and the option to edit your avatar or signature. I do recall that a sig took 15 or so posts (correct me if I'm wrong y'all)

EDIT: most important thing to say, congrats on kicking the analogs!

 

[JerryRM]

Like tarheeldan said. You can only use a 150 X 150 pixel size (unless you are a supporting member) and use a jpeg file.

I set up my avatar, when I first joined the forum.

 

[tarheeldan]

Yeah, the pixel and file size limits for stuff here seem kinda stringent. I'd never put up an avatar before (this is the first forum I've ever visited more than once or twice) so maybe that's normal but I had to find a place to cut down the image size so I used this dealie: thumb dealie. You're probably all awesome and have one ready to go though.

 

[garyd]

Thanks again, you guys are awesome!
Gary

Welcome, Gary! Glad vaping is agreeing with you! And it will just keep getting better!

Yes, you can leave the batts in the charger overnight. That is, it is safe. But they supposedly will last longer overall if you take them out as soon as it goes green. By last longer I mean the overall lifespan of the battery before it doesn't recharge anymore. But it is safe to leave them in.
