Problem with charging.

[davemorton]

Evening all.
About 3/4 weeks ago I started using my ecigs, an eGo 900mAh (with C4). When I put it on charge, sometimes the red charging light turns green almost straight away, and I have to give the battery a little twist one way or another to make it go red again.
Whats more annoying is that it sometimes goes green after a short while (20-30 mins) when it is obviously not fully charged, and again I have to give it a twist a little way one way or another to get it to continue charging.
Its getting a little annoying now as I never trust it to be fully charged, and have to keep checking it to make sure it is charging. What can I do to prevent this (if anything?)

On a side note, I also purchased a mini to replace the C4 after hearing rave reviews on here, and yes, it looks great, but it seams really 'airy' if you know what I mean, does not seem to pack the same kick or same amount of smoke/taste as the C4?? Any comments?

are you keeping your battery and chargers connections clean? A quick wipe with a tissue regualry is usually enough. sometimes I use alcohol swabs to make sure there is no dried on juice residue there.

The other thing that happens regularly with these types of batteries is the centre pin sinking very slightly,

There does seem to be getting some juice in there, and I just wipe it with a tissue, but will get hold of some alcohol wipes to give them a good clean. Just off to have a look at the link now to check that out, cheers.
