Or am I in need of a better charger? I feel like the charge and puff time is equal. Any suggestions? Come'on, I know you are very suggestive! What with that one dude showing his noobs and everything? LOL

yes, about 3 hours I think. I am about to get another one to use when my first one is charging. They may take a long time to charge, but I LOVE mine!!
I got a high speed USB charger from TW and it shaved about 45 minutes off my wait. If you love the twist like i do you gotta have a backup. I have a 650mah and a 1000mah and have yet to find an instance i wasnt able to vape.

Might have to get a 1000mah. both my twists died at work today and I am surrounded by tobacco on the job. torture! broake down and had a stinkie. worst feeling ever! felt like I had been poisoned. (i was!)

what's the mah rating on your batteries? Even with the 650mah eGo batts, I found they lasted about 8 hours of heavy vaping on a full charge. Might be time to get yourself a Lavatube or something similar - they're inexpensive, have a long battery life (I charge my battery every 24-36 hours) and are variable voltage as well - charge time is similar to the eGo batts.
only getting 3 hours vape time on a twist seems strange, unless you are using dual coil cartos of course. I found that my ego twist would drain pretty quick using dual coils. With constant vaping using single coils my 650 mah twist would last 4 or 5 hours. One thing I did find, leave it on the charger for about an hour after the light turns green, not sure if it really lasted longer or if maybe I was just vaping less, but I would get a full 6 hours out of it leaving it on there for the extra hour.
Mine are the smaller, I guess, 650 mah ones. my non variable ego 650's last for about a day and 1\2. Love the VV of the twist tho.

"Broke down and had a stinkie" looool funny how you said that. Its a bad day your backup died also. That is bad.
The 1000mah twist lasts for a long time, but will take almost 3 hours to charge.
I like my nice, slow, gentle on batteries external charger for my mods. I suppose I'd like a nice slow twist charger too. Why would I want to stress out my battery and reduce its useful life? Since the batteries are about the same cost as regular eGo stuff, Joye gave everyone a real break... so have backups and charge two at once.
And, no, I'm not made of $$. That's why I take care of my batteries (with slow/normal chargers)
ETA: Fast charge = more internal heat. Heat = BAD for Li-Ion. To be fair, I don't know what battery chem the twist uses for sure.

i have a 1000mah ego red light goes out after about 3 hours but i am sure its not fully charged i find more like 4 hours to be fully charged
I would think that the higher the mah, the longer it would take to charge. You do always want to have more than one. That way, you have one to use while one is charging....
My ego 1100 mah batts can charge in 1.5 hours using my 2amp iPad charger brick. Works nicely.

You always school me, Attypop.

I've always used rapid chargers and I still have my original egos from 3/2011 and even my kr808s from 5/2010. All still holding charges. To each his own.
Well, this isn't intended to be a "rapid" charger debate, but rather, a "slow isn't that bad" discussion. BTW Rapid is relative. So is use (a two year old 808 would not have lasted 2 years in constant use for example... I don't care what charger you use... so I don't understand the point).
The point is that slow isn't bad. She can actually feel better that her charger is charging at a "normal" rate. Heat is a no-no (for Li-Ion). How much heat develops is a function of the charger, and is related to the speed of charge. Some are better than others.
Interestingly, I actually have some devices (string trimmer) that use Li-Ion and it says not to use it/charge it above XX degrees F. (I think 90). They don't like heat!

I guess this question fits in here, should the battery be drained before charging or should it just be charged whenever? Which one will provide better longevity for the battery? Especially on something like an eGo Twist?
