Gosh if the SUPER HERO didn't just SAVE the day once again...just saying..................!!!



You don't NEED the wall adapter though, you can charge it simply with the USB cable but it is very convenient to have one so you're good there.

As for being universal, no. The charger is just for eGo batteries. You can use 510 chargers on an eGo (slower) but you cannot use eGo chargers ona 510 (Will burn them out)

So the eGo charger is just for eGo's.

that's the one I want first

I'd be willing to drop 3 bills to get all the sets at once. Just need to get my wife to work just a little more. :D

Thank you very much. KT said she has the USB wire but not the wall adapter. And if I'm right, we can also use our computer to charge, correct?

Optics, I'm really sorry for the questions. I hope I'm not keeping you from something. When we started vaping, we used those 510 stick batteries then went right to the big battery mods. What's confusing me the most is the wall adapter. I have a USB wall adapter that came with the stick batteries. It looks like a plug with a slot for the USB. Will that work or do I need the ego one?

No it's fine, not keeping me from anything! Ask away.

A USB wall adapter turns 110volt AC into 5volt DC by definition ... any one should work as it does not vary in voltage. So should be fine. I've used my 808 wall adapter that came with it's usb cable to charge my cell phone and an ego before lol

Where do you live that you don't? 8-o
Word. lol I have a S&W MP lock back folder on my desk that I carry with me. Has a nice belt clip that I hook onto my pocket to both conceal it and make it easy to access. Not to mention multiple swords scattered around the bedroom.

I just looked at the wall adapter and it says 6a 125/250v. :confused:
That will work just fine. Of course, by the time I post this it will have already been said multiple times. lol

So wait, are you saying I can use my spare iPad and iPhone AC adapters to charge the Twist as long as I'm using the Ego USB cord?
Yes.

I'm almost feeling uncomfortable! Lol, what if I give you bad advice.. From what I understand all usb hubs are a standardized 5volt,,,no problem interchanging. It depends on the amperage. A single 2 amp adapter will charge any bat that I know of. Some just may take longer to charge the battery. The adapter relies on the charger to limit the amperage. So your eGo charger should only take what it needs..
Anyone else care to chime in? A second opinion would be nice just in case I give poor splinter here bad advice :unsure:

There we go, Modrod's second opinion.. I'm not alone. You're safe Splinter lol. Just because I've tried something doesn't mean it'll always work. I've used my phone's usb wall adapter and plugged my battery cable into it, charged fine. I've charged my phone using the batteries wall adapter as well. No kabooms or fires and batteries/phone all still work fine. I will note, using the battery usb wall adapter charged my phone slightly slower than the phones actual wall adapter.

Pretty much anything with a usb port, actually. Lots of folks don't realize that if there's a usb port on your TV, DVD player, cable box, etc... those will all work for charging things up too. :)

Plus I got one'o these for my car:
