I am out of stock on that one right now so I can't test it but generally in my experience blinking means it's close to being charged.

Not 100% sure though.

No, it did that as soon as i put the Twist on the charger, right after the battery blinked to let me know it was dead.

I read on another thread that it is checking the voltage and does that every 5 seconds or so, until the battery is charged. I swore it was staying constant red before, but I can't say for sure. Just trying to make sure the charger and/or battery is ok.

LD, if you're around, can you chime in please?

And I did notice you were out of stock on the 500mah when I ordered the second Twist on Friday, I was going to get a backup with my order, but i will get it on my next order. When you getting more?

bigpman,

The green blink is normal operation. As you were told, it is when the charger checks the current battery voltage.

On SOME chargers, the green will hold for an increasing period of time as the battery nears full charge, and then remain on when fully charged.

My UltraFie charger for the 18650 batteries does the same thing.

Everything is copasetic.

Thanks RodeoGeorge, appreciate you confirming my findings

I figured all was well, but always better to be safe than sorry...

Here's a pic of the E2 on my 3vo. FYI, the atomizer tube screws onto the base, unlike the E1.

Looks cool! How does it vape?

Rodeo is correct. The blink is normal.

Sorry for the delay in response, I was at Vapestock.

So is it the orange-ish light that indicates it's almost charged?

 

[casey8579]

Don't you ever sleep?

Just ordered a V8 @ 11:45 Sunday nite and within 5 minutes received the wepay invoice.

Great service, thank you.

so it was you! Off to bed I was, came in to turn out the light and there it was, another order...



Now since I am sitting here I have 15 emails to sort through including some poorly written Chinese vendors begging me to order their junk products LOL

Eric,

There are several chargers out there that use different schemes for the charge state.

The UltraFire that I have (WF-139) uses only the Red and Green. Red = Charging, Short Green Blinks when checking status, and solid Green when charged.

The Soshine (SC-S2) uses only Red and Green, but when the Battery is close to a full charge (I think at 90%) the LED changes from Red to a Blinking Green. Then at full charge a solid Green.

The Joyetech eGo USB Charger (420mA model) follows the same indication pattern as the UltraFire.

The YL-103 Single 18650 wall chargers follow the same indication pattern as the UltraFire.

I have another model charger, but it's in the truck and I'm going to be lazy and not go out to the Ag Building to check that model.

If there are any doubts, the best thing to do is RTFD. If the charger did not come with directions, you can usually find them by Googling the Model Number, or going to the Vendor Site where you obtained the charger.

why would I do that, when I have such a great group of people here to answer all the technical questions

 

[ki77en]

I ordered right around the same time and got the "Your DV order has been shipped" at 12:32. lol
And here I was coming here to complain that I just can't stop buying from you!! It's a good thing I don't spend a whole lot of time on the forum b/c everytime I do, I buy s/thing or chain vape.
Man I can't WAIT to get that Ovale 8! By the sound (and price) of it, I wish I would've come across that before buying my barely used LT. I'm going to decorate it like crazy, too.
Thx so much, Eric.

 

[ki77en]

Oh yeah... forgot to gripe about you not having the batteries for it.
Will work for batts. lol

Gripe all you want I am literally selling them faster than they can make them.
I have another 100 coming in a few days.

Rodeo is correct. The blink is normal.

No worries realized it after my post. Hope you had a blast!

Most of the time an answer is achieved faster by posting here

News from afar; BREAKING news, at that.

 

[harleydiva]

So....Lord Davon......how was Vapestock????? See anything new???

I did. It was a good time. I highly recommend going to these events.

It was great. I didn't realize how many people would recognize me. I pictured maybe one or two, but... it was like WOW!

As for new stuff, not really all that much. Everyone talked about stuff coming, but there wasn't that much new stuff there.
