Nice, new, shiny, 510!

[Glennie]

Hi,

Yep, my kit arrived today, and it took a fiddly wee hour or so getting it all together,
but eventually, good to go!

I'm hacked off already, when the vape gets weak, of refilling, with juice, and recharging the battery.

Ordered a new battery & etc, so in effect I've gotta spare ecig ready for vaping, but what I'd to know, can one OVERcharge the battery?

Dam' wish I knew more about this business!

Regards,

Glen.

No you shouldn't be able to overcharge the battery. When the light turns green the charger should stop charging.

If you are getting fed up of the short battery life, it would be best to upgrade to something like Riva

you can't over-charge the battery.

You are experiencing many of the frustrations that new vapers experience; carts don't wick properly and hold little juice anyway, batteries only last a couple of hours....

You may be wanting a bigger battery, a drip tip and some cartomizers. Or at the very least you may look into buying a PCC (a cigarette case that charges your batteries when you go out) for the 510.

Good luck!

ps: fwiw, I started with the 510 and had an eGo ordered by the end of the first week. You can still find times when the small battery is convenient but the bigger eGo batt was a life saver (8-10 hours per charge). Once I discovered that this technology could really work I didn't care anymore about the size of it.

You may like the 510 mega xl batteries - they last 60% longer. They are long though, 138mm long w/ cart and atty or 128mm long with a standard Boge cartomizer

Try some of those Boges - they are the easiest cartomizers to start with - standard resistance (not LR with a slim battery!) Boge soft-cap cartomizers for 510. They are stuffing-type cartos, no inner seal, no syringes needed. Soft cap so the mouth-end cap pops out easily with an unbent paper clip. You fill it well to start with and let it sit to make sure the liquid has soaked into all of the stuffing (so you don't singe it) and then you need to add juice much less often than with a cart. Just don't run them dry. Keep one damp and it can last for more than a week. And if you have auto batteries, be extremely careful with cartos - always take a carto off the battery when adding juice and make sure the threaded end is clean and not dripping. I also blow into the threaded end to clear the air channel and I clean up any loose juice above the stuffing. If you have auto batteries a drip can kill your battery. Manual 510s are sealed on the end.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies!

Bigger batteries look the way forward, but most of all, I'm gonna have to learn the lingo!

Been studying this forum since Sunday, and still don't know the craic!

Thank you,

Glen.

Heres a link to help with all the lingo associated with vaping and e-cigs:

Hope this helps, happy vaping!

Underdog,

Thanks for going to that trouble!

I've saved it in "Favourites" and I'll go back to it regularly!

Best wishes,

Glen.
