battery problems

[jamesrd]

I have the Vision Spinner 2 and after charging it fully it still does not work properly, i.e. have to press the button a few times to get it to light up so as to vape and it does not hold the charge as long as it used to, I've had it about 3 months. I lost my wall plug to connect the charger to whilst on holiday and am now using a mobile phone wall plug, I was wondering if I'm not getting enough power from it to charge my ecig battery properly, I've tried all over to buy another wall plug for the charger but had no luck so far, any ideas? thank you, JRD.

Though whether than will solve your issues, I'm not wise enough to know. But it's worth a try.

ronaldo will know for sure and I'm a bit concerned about using a phone charger? Hasn't that been the cause of some 'accidents'
I use one from myepack, it's £3.99 but you need to add postage which is £1.95 I think

I have a vision spinner 2 as well. I read somewhere on their site, that they recommend you set it to 4.2v when charging. As others have said, you can get a usb charger from most places, they are all the same, my mobile phone USB charger is a different voltage setting, so Im not sure how well it will work, but definately try charging at 4.2v.
I have 2 Vision batteries and I have to say they arent very good compared to my Innokin vv v3, they are unreliable for charging, by which i mean they can show green on the USB charger, as if full and then I can reconnect to the same USB port and it starts charging for hours again.

That's a myth, may have worked in the V1 days but not for the V2.

This actually does work in many cases, worth a try

My spinner 2 does exactly that.....plug in, charges for a little while, shows green on the charger, switch off, on again and it starts charging properly. A bit of a pain, but tbh once you know this it's fine. I'm always around when charging them anyway so it's just a case of remembering it's little quirks.

thanks for all your replies, I have just charged one battery and it turned to it's normal colour blue (not green) and is still not working properly, i.e. have to press it a few times each time I want to vape, you said they are not reliable so which would you recommend please, and why do you think it has conked out after only 3 months. thank you, Jamesrd

The Innokin vv v3. More expensive, but Ive had 2 both lasted 6months + and Im using them all day, maybe charging once a day

Just when you say its blue light. I have a rainbow style and a black metalic style. The black one is white and then after it falls below 70% it goes blue, then yellow/orange when running out. I really dislike it as it goes blue after 10 or 20 minutes use. The rainbow one is okay, but like other are confirming there is the charger issue.
I bought an Aspire Twist thats been quite solid, but I would pay more for the Innokin tbh.(£30). Ive got a Kanger too, but I really find that a bit unreliable with charging too

My next purchase will probably be a MVP type thingy, just dont know a lot about them yet and they are dear, but Ive read a few on here saying the SmokeGroove 2 at £40 is quite good, the rest seem to start at over £50

Under £40.00 here happyloman . . . though if you spend £40.00, then shipping is included.

Money well spent.

Here is an MVP V2.0 for £36.99 and this is from one of this sites Trusted Traders  LINK 

With ordinary posted of £1.95 that's only £39 , but if you added guaranteed next day delivery , it would still be only just a few pence short of £44.

I would stick with the standard postage , as the items normally arrive the next day anyway.

I've ordered from them several times and HIGHLY recommend them , myepack are the place where I get all my tanks and airflow controllers at the moment , IF they did quality juices and concentrates I probably wouldn't be using anyone else.

I have had my spinner 2 for a few months now and it's the same with charging, can be on charge for hours then when light turns to green I always unscrew it and then screw it back on and light shows red again, can be like this all night, so I am never sure if it's ever been fully charged, plus I only get about 6 hours usage from it, so when this one dies I won't be getting another one.

Spinner 2s don't seem to be an improvement on the original version. I have 3 x Spinner 1s and they are solid and reliable, and all genuine. They take about 4 hours to charge, but then give 8-10 hours of average vaping.

I have that same problem with mine, I thought maybe the wall plugs were the fault and bought new ones, but no, still having the same problems, will not be buying the Spinner again.
