Starting of with an greeting to all ECF users, and a thanks for letting me join the world's largest E-Cig Website!

I Just got my eGO-CE5+ starter kit from "http://www.rookwinkel.nl/"
and i love the vaping experience, but its of with a problem:

i found out that has an broken wire issue, or at least damaged and i am contacting the store because i think its faulty.
but nonetheless, i can fix that most of the times by positioning the cable right, here comes the real problem:
my charger is acting weird, when i plug it in my Ac adapter, the battery connector is showing its red light.
its blinking every 0.5 sec, and the blue LED on my battery shines.
right now i have left the first battery in that charger for about 19 hours in total, in like 4 charging sets.
but i get the feeling it is not charging the batts correctly!
(the connector doesn't feel very trustworthy, the led's on it sometimes flicker red/green in a random way.)

it took about 14 hours of charging the first battery to get the connectors green LED to show!
as you might know, the battery will give an white light when its 50%+ full, sky blue when between 50% and about 5% and below that dark blue!
when i press the "press to vape button":oops: (sorry what's it called?) it will only emit the DARK blue light, so letting me think there is no real charge in it?

they are 900mAh battery's, the larger capacity version of the standard once they will deliver with the ce5+

any thought on this?

do you think the battery's are faulty of is my usb charger just broken?
my thought is that since the blue LED on the battery does show while charging, there must be some charging activity going on, else it wouldn't even notice it is plugged in right ?

any idea what i can try to fix this myself?

After you charged it how long did it take for the battery to become fully discharged? It should only take 2 to 3 hours if that for the battery to fully charge. 900mah should last you about a full day or so. If it lasts that long it is probably fully charged. The light may not be working properly. You should probably contact the supplier you got it from and ask about the problem, and/or ask if they will replace it.
