First off, I'll admit, this is kind of an excuse to use up on of my first posts so I can go post else were, but I really cannot wait to get home!

I've been tracking my first order from Cignot for 3 days now, and it should be waiting for me when I get home.

I was wondering, (If anyone can answer in the next hour), I've heard the the Batts from cignot come pre charged. Is this true? can I puff right away or do I have to give it the proper 4 hour charge?

59 minutes and counting.

I think they come half charged. But it only takes an hour or so to charge a battery from fully dead to fully charged. Some people recommend charging them for 4 hours regardless. I ordered my 510 kit from ecigexpress.com and the instructions that came in the box recommended that I charge my battery's for 8 hours then use them for 20 minutes then charge them for another hour (something to do with making them last longer.) I don't know if it is true of not, but I really like to take good care of my stuff so that is exactly what I did. Hope this helps. :)

The charging for 8 hours come from the old days of NickelMetal Hydrid batteries that would create a memory. If you didn't charge them up all the way from the get go, they may not ever fully charge. With Li-Ion, which these are, memory is supposed to be a thing of the past.

From years of working in the wireless industry, I've seen many Li-Ion batteries act as if they have eventually grown a memory, but I think that's because people always kept their batteries constantly charging when not in use, which will kill the life of a battery too. I was always told to make sure you completely discharge and fully recharge you batteries once every few weeks. It seems like a good practice to me.
