Ego Twist charging

[Figgis]

Do Ego Twists have some sort of double phase charging ?

I left one plugged in when I went into town and it was green on the charger and I was ina rush so didn't disconnect it, but when I got back about an hour or so later, it had gone to red and it stayed on that for about another hour.

I have a problem with these batteries holding charge, my Rivas seem to be much better and I can accept that they have more output, but to be honest, most of the time I use them at 3.8-4.0 so it's not like I hammer them at 4.8V.

I just wonder if they need charging differently, cos I only get about 4 hours out of them.

What size batts are you on? Even if its the smaller 650s that still seems pretty low. Are you using the original plug and USB? I had some problems using the proper USB but with an apple wall plug. Only getting a few hours use. I now only use the original wall plug and I get pretty much all day from the 900s.

I have a genuine eGo-C Twist that now stays on red no matter how long it's on charge for ???

Have a look at todds reviews and tutorials. One great way is rebuildables from china like the AGA range. I personally have the AGA-S which is a great smaller form factor.

They're the 1100mah's, genuine Joyetech with a Joyetech charger. This is why I'm started to get hacked off and wonder if I'm doing something wrong, because my Riva's last easily for a full day, yet the Twists only seem to go for half the time - even though I have them on 3.8-4.0volts (and I'm not a chain-vaper).

I sort of assumed/thought that these would go for a good 10 hours vaping, but so far it's nowhere near that.

If you're getting really poor performance from 'genuine' ego batts after a short period (less than 3 months). My best suggestion would be to contact the vendor you bought them from. The best vendors will rectify any problems. And the bad vendors - don't buy from them.

[Figgis]

I think I'll do that Tom. But, to clarify, a 1100mah should last longer than 4 hours at a vape of 5-6 toots every 30 minutes ? I don't want to kick up a big fuss if that's the normal duration.

[newukvaper84]

hear u about the chain vape im the same. maybe y its dying so quck like me. as i say if u take it off charge and put it bk on u will find it will still charge extra and last longer. hope this help????

[Tom]

That's certainly much less than normal by a lot. I am a fairly heavy vaper and a 900 lasts most of the day. My only advice would be to not exaggerate the problem when u tell the vendor (not saying u are!). The performance you are getting is miles under par.

[Figgis]

OK Tom. Thanks for the advice. I'm not going to go 'roaring in' and start accusing anyone, sometimes you get a dodgy unit and these things happen. I just wanted to see if it was within the normal parameters. Cheers.

[Tom]

Don't be afraid to tell the vendor, most are very helpful. And they would rather rectify a problem and u tell others of ur good experience than you have an issue and tell others about that.

[Tom]

Good luck mate!

im having the same issue m8. all i can do is take it off full charge and put it bk on it WILL give it more charge. this is why i now have an itaste mvp one charge 3 days use. perect for me i highly recomend it.
