Twist - charging questions

[sun123]

Vision Spinner Tank Combo
•2 VV Ego Series Batteries (lots of choices)
•2 Clearomizer Tanks (lots of choices)
•1 Joye Ego Rapid USB Charger
•1 AC Wall to USB Adapter
Ordered / received above starter kit which based on suggestions received on my prior thread. Chose 2 Joye 950 twists, 2 Kanger T3s and added set 5 Boge (also recommended) which popped me in at just above $75 for free priority shipping (yay).
From everyones helpful suggestions, this seems like the ideal kit which has been sitting here awaiting arrival of juice samplers that show out for delivery today

juice sampler show to be out for delivery today - been dragging my feet but , this is getting REAL

CHARGING QUESITONS
1) After plugging charger in wall, connecting adaptor, screwing twist onto it, is there nothing other than leaving it to charge?
Didnt know if button 5clicked for vaping came into play for charging.
2) When should I remove battery from charger?
3) Should I proceed when its done to repeat for other twist or wait? Didnt know if 2nd twist would start losing charge if not in use while using other one.

it won't lose charge, maybe after 6 months or something... Plug it in and wait till the light turns green, you can leave it in longer like if you wanna charge it overnight but it's not recommended. When the the first one's done plug in the other. Good to go. Also it's a good idea to screw the batt in and then plug it into the wall.

You're going to want to charge the 2nd one because as soon as you kill the first one you'll need it. Always keep them charged because you're never going to want to be without one.

Your batteries will come with a partial charge so you can start vaping immediately with one of the batteries while you put a second battery on the charger to get a full charge on that one The light on the charger will change from red to green when its fully charged so take it off the charger when it turns green.

For safety reasons never charge batteries when you aren't around to keep an eye on the chargers. Its very rare and doesn't need to be taken to the extreme, but on a rare occasion stuff does go wrong and you want to be able to react quickly if a charger/battery does over heat. One should remove their batteries from the charger fairly soon after the light turns green but you don't need to go overboard with worry about it. A few simple precautions are worth it in the long run

Hope you have fun with your new vaping toys

should the twist have any light while charging before the green light?
The adaptor has a green light but the twist screwed in has none, don't know if that's normal

The plugged in charger still has no light, not even red although the charger has a red light on and the rapid adaptor has a green light on.
Not sure what to do about that.

Read your comment about it coming with a small charge so opened 2nd twist, juiced the T3 with help of a video, screwed in twist but must be doing something wrong. When I click 5x light blinks white each time and then nothing when I inhale. Any idea what Im doing wrong.

I don't have a twist but I think you might be turning it off if it blinks each time when you click it 5 times.

I just got my Vision Spinner in yesterday..after I click the power button 5 times, it will blink 3 times, telling me it's on...then good to go. You probably already know this...but once you turn it on by clicking 5 times... you then have to hold the button down while you are taking a drag..then release it when you finish the drag.

I order mine with 3 different size Viva Nova tanks... I filled my one up and it started vaping right away..wanted to try another flavor, so put juice in another tank...nothing. Put it on another battery, nothing. I wont go into everything I tried to get it to work..finally decided it came with a dead head. Took it apart and here they sent that one not hooked up right...the head/stem was NOT connected inside the tank. Fixed that and it worked right away.

The Twist itself won't have a light on while charging. The wall part and the part connected to the twist will. When the part connected to the twist has a steady green light, it's fully charged.

The twist will be already on when it comes off the charger by default. When you are vaping, hold the power button in. Release just before you remove it from your lips. Draw the vapor into your mouth, not really hard, just a gently sucking will do the trick. After you fill your mouth, gently inhale. You really don't need to inhale because the nic is absorbed mostly through the mouth membranes and/or nasal passages. I exhale through the nose or even French inhale.

You will get the hang of all this in no time.

Another note: you will see the red light flash to green for just a second before going red again, that is the device checking to see if the battery is charged. When it sees that it is not yet charged, it goes back to red (charging). You are not imagining things

Thanks everyone - think I was confused because adaptor light was already green when plugged in and attaching twist didn't change that but seems because they came already charged. After using both for the day, found attaching them to adaptor following morning turned adaptor light from green to red and they did both seem to charge with adaptor switching back to green. Was confused that before reattaching following morning, I still was able to vape.

Trying to understand how charge works to understand at what point I should be recharging.
Does charge work and then doesn't work or does it work, works less, works even less, etc?
Thinking to just charge on a once daily schedule for simplicity but not wanting to hurt battery life - at least with phones, have heard shouldn't charge until fully discharged.

I have been charging mine overnight, and always have another one in the charger, maybe should stop doing that. :S

Welcome to the vaping community!

 

[Davenkay]

Charge it whenever you want to. These batts don't have a memory like Ni-cad batts do. There is a lot of good educational reading on batteries in another part of the forum.

The twist will let you know when it runs out of power. The button will start blinking. If you get into the routine of charging them before they drain, that actually is a good thing, from what I hear.

Any of the ecig batteries should not be charged overnight.

I've been waiting for the battery light to blink (signal that it needs to be charged), but I notice that the vape gets pretty weak for a while before that happens. So it's OK or even advantageous to go ahead and recharge it before it's completely drained?

 

[Bmorekirk]

My ego twists light stays on while charging

Another tip for charging.

Try not to screw the Twist in too tight against the charging unit. The wires inside are thin, and twisting the battery in too tight can make the center pin of the charger turn some. Enough turning inside the charger, and the wire breaks, rendering the charger no good. (unless you feel handy with a soldering iron)

I have had to solder a couple for myself before I learned this.

Perfectly ok to do that.
