Charging spinners

[wil7985]

Why do my spinners (v1) take 6 or 7 hours to charge, I am using a 420ma ego charger, have cleaned and checked the connections. Once their charged I get a good 12/15 hours vaping out of them so no complaints about them once their charged, just seems a long time to have them on charge to me? Is their a fast charger for these.

What capacity are they? To be honest a slow charge is better than a fast one your batteries will live longer if charged slower.

Think they are 1100 mah, not sure.

[zeldamum]

Where did you get it? If you got it from me it will be 1300 mAh.

Just checked it's 1100, hi zeldamum you have the 1300 in stock, because I was thinking of upgrading to these.

As with all spinner/twists set the dial to 4.2v BEFORE you put it on charge

Now that's a handy little hint which had passed me by before. Thanks @tazmania441, I'll try that next time I charge mine!

Why?

No idea why just seen it a while back on a couple of sites I'm sure there's plenty in here that could shed some light on this.....must be a reason of it wouldn't be on vendor sites...

Why?

It was Toni at ukecigcabin who put it on her web page when the Spinner first came out...no explanation though?
Never read any info about doing this with the twists though.

The charging circuit is completely different to the output circuit, it should nake no difference to how long it takes a battery to charge.

Could do with vendors letting us know why it's on there site,,I've pm'd one soon as I get a reply I'll let you know

[DiscoDes]

I just don't understand the logic of this advice

BUT! it's easily provable, just vape a battery until the charge light flashes, se to it's lowest setting and see how long it takes to charge.

Then do the same again and set the dial to 4.2v and see how long it takes to charge.

Then we'll all know!

Well there must be a reason or it wouldn't be on site....
