Riva Ego Inital Charge

[AfterGlow]

Ok, so this has probably been asked before, and if so I'm sorry. I just recieved my Riva Ego and I'm a little unclear on the initial charging protocol. Out of the box the batteries did not light up when I pushed the button, so I plugged the first one in. 45 minutes later the light turned green

I want to make sure I'm not going to ruin my battery by using it. I have read mixed opinions on how long the first charge should be. Any help would be appreciated.

I just got a new one also and charged it until light went green.
I am vaping on it right now and then after awhile, I will put it back on to charge again.

It is my understanding that charged is charged. Over charging is NOT good and using it and charging it before it goes blinky, blink (indicates batt needs charging and is depleted) is the best way to keep the batt in tip-top, long lasting condition.

Apparently not. After light turned green I slapped the second battery on, got about 30 minutes of light vaping out of the battery before it started to blink. I guess I'm going to leave this one on...

Keep track of that batt that didn't vape longer than 30 minutes after going green. Might be a problem batt. Mine is stilling going strong and it has been an hour+.
Also, somewhere I read that batts get better after they have been discharged and recharged a few times.

I read on the sticky thread at the top of this category that discharging is not actually good for the lithium-ions nowadays. Apparently it is better to charge them before they deplete.

I have 3 Riva kits and all of mine vaped for 12 hours out of the box. Keep track of them sounds like something maybe wrong with the batteries
