Tornado Battery Will. Not. Die.

Started Thursday afternoon and still going strong Saturday at Oh God thirty am.

I've always had the idea in my head that generally you shouldn't charge batteries that have not died because of battery "memory". Is that oudated?

Also, I think I read around here somewhere that the Tornado batteries won't get weaker as you use them, they will just quit when it is time to recharge. Right?

As far as I know the tornado is just a off shoot of the ego but very much the same but it seems like your battery is good my ego will just stop and flash when it needs chargeing.

Welcome Crystal. Those are Li-on batteries and so therefore have no memory effect at all. In fact, it is probably better not to run them down completely. All batteries lose strength as you use them, that is the voltage drops gradually. So, without regulated circuitry, they will get weaker as they are used. There are some LED flashlights that have regulated circuitry which keeps the light at full brightness until the battery is totally depleted, but I don't think there are any E-cigs with that type of electronics .....yet.

The Tornado is literally the same thing as an eGo. It is a Joye eGo, re-branded by Totally Wicked.

Li-on batteries do not have a memory effect. It is fine, and even encouraged, to charge them before they totally die.

Pretty cool, huh?

Mine just fully discharged for the first time since getting it about 2 weeks ago. Maybe after 36 hours use or more. Took a full 4-5 hour recharge on the provided 510 charger w/ adapter. Usually I alternate the 2 batteries each day and they only need 2 hours or less. My tornado (eGo) battery did seem to vape well right up until it was drained.

That's hilarious - I just read your reply in my email and my battery started flashing and then quit.

Yes, very cool.
