Charging

[old6umpy]

Hi all.Fairly new here,so if I have this in wrong section please move.My query,have an Itaste MVP,and want to know if I can put it on charge when going to bed,and leave it over night,as when I charge through the day,it lights up green,and when fully charged seems to turn its self off,would be great if I can leave it overnight,but do not want to damage it,or risk a fire,thanks in advance for any help John..

I personally think that we get over anxious with charging batteries for our e-cigs overnight ..... yet none of us bothers about charging our phones , laptops plugged in all the time ipads , tablets , leaving the telly , sat receiver , dvd players on standby etc etc etc

the list of what we leave on charge overnight without worrying is endless as is the list of items we leave on standby overnight .......

my personal advice is relax , get a glass of wine .......... don't buy cheap shitty chargers

I tend to agree with Storm who covered the only proviso in the last 5 words.
Charging via usb or even mains over usb I would never give a second thought to. But as storm rightly pointed out,a cheapo Chinese charger is a different matter.

I will also add to my last post by saying .. I actually bought an original TR001 charger 2 years ago and although they have had some BAD publicity mine is still serving me VERY well .

I disagree. Problems with charging are few and far between, but personally I wouldn't charge overnight!

This household doesn't charge phones/consoles/laptops overnight either, not since a small games console nearly started a fire years ago!

Deesigner just posted on a thread earlier about a charging problem, she was very pleased that she was around when it happened!

I agree karma - very small risk, but best avoided.

You've changed

Karma , that particular kind of charger is sold by a lot of vendors and is cheap chinese crap as far as I am concerned and I wouldn't have that type of charger in the house , however other chargers available are very relaible

Storm, most USB chargers for Riva/egos come mas produced from China! Where are you getting your from?

Haven't bought a charger since I started vaping Karma , I have 2 chargers probably from China but I'm happy to leave them charging my batteries overnight . I am an electrician with electronics qualifications btw . Not that it matters much but like I said in my previous post we get over anxious , I am not going to change my habits just because someone else had a dodgy charger the like of which I do not own and like I also previously stated I would not have in the house.

My trusty Trustfire TR001 and a multi charger I bought from they who cannot be named

You're not being a numpty at all! Keep asking questions, but don't expect everyone to agree on the answers
