I just bought a 1300 mah vision spinner and after running it down for the first time I hooked it up to my joyetech charger. It charged the same as usual but the led never turned a full green, just green with a little bit of red shining so it was kind of yellow. Anyone else experienced this or know what it means? My 900 mah smok spinner and all my ego twist/standard ego batteries it goes to a bright green. I've left it on for another hour and it still isn't changing (I know with the smok spinner it can take a bit past where it changes the first time)

I've got some vision spinner batteries coming tomorrow (hopefully). I'll look to see if I have any issues like this as well.

OK so the LED of the spinner battery should be on while charging (white LED). The joyetech charger LED should be red with an occasional green blink. Once fully charged the LED on battery will turn off and remain off while the charger LED will go green for a few seconds and then back to red. That's what I observed. Hope that helps.

the white led went out, and the light went to red but instead of going to green after that final cycle it goes to kind of an orange (both the red and green seem to be on) my smaller smok spinner does exactly as you describe then after a short time (after the white led goes out) the red goes to a solid green that's what I expected from this one. I wonder if it is something to do with the higher mah.
I would trust the led on the battery over the charger because that is a charge indicator direct in line with the physical battery. And you don't want to keep your battery on the charger longer than it should be.
I have another charger that is generic and it goes solid green when fully charged and stays green ( only had ego c bats before and they didn't have their led stay on during charge), so it's more than likely something with the joyetech charger. I was going to pull apart the two chargers and make comparisons on the circuitry, but I decided not to in the end because if the spinner is indicating a full charge by its led going off then why even worry about the joyetech charger led? I assume the joyetech charger does not have a smart circuit to know when it's fully charged hence the temporary green led then back to red. If its worth anything, I work on electronics for my job so this is stuff right up my alley.
Be safe with charging your batteries.
