I just started vaping to quit smoking. After trying a few capes Juul, Stlth, and Epen3, I found the minifit. I love the minifit, it's small, battery lasts all day, easy to refill and pods last a long time. My question concerns charging. Most reviews and posts I have read, say the minifit charges in 20to 30 mins. Mine takes 90 mins. Is something wrong with my battery? Other than long charge time, it seems to work fine. HAPPY vaping!

Hi and welcome,
If the output of the charger is only .5amp, it may take longer to charge fully.

Welcome to the friendly bunch :)

Aah, that's probably your answer then if you're charging from a computer it will be slower as it doesn't supply enough amps :)

Good to hear that you've found a device that suits you though....it's always half the battle.

I don't know how electrically inclined you are but Lowes/Home Depot sell USB outlets that replace your standard outlets. I installed 2 in the master bedroom beside the bed so we could charge phones, watches, and all the other technology BS. Those USB outlets put out between 2.4 amps and 5 amps depending on which one you buy.

Oh and then there's no reason to search for those little blocks to plug into the wall. Super easy to install.

Actually fast charging could damage or shorten the life of the battery. I'd stick with the supplied charger. Consider a 20700 battery in quality charger takes a couple hours to charge. As recommended above could be the usb port on the pc, I would recommend an powered external USB with a charging port.

Here the one I've been using for several years

I agree they say in the instructions that higher wattage could damage battery.
If you have got a mobile phone charger which is plugged into the mains and then a USB goes to the device....that is the one which will charge your POD more quickly :) As others have said the gentler you are with battery charging the longer it will last :)
