Another Daft question about batteries

[nellie691]

Hi, I recently bought an Joyetech eGo-C 1000mAh Battery, the question is - theres 1 or 2 LEDs on the bottom. When charging the red one lights up for a while then goes out, should the other LED do something ??? It states on the web page - "colour changing button to indicate charge status." Maybe I doing something wrong again


Next question, I find the above battery to heavy and long when driving, I cant hold it in my mouth !! I been using a skylite battery and borge cart, but the batttery life is awfull - can anyone recommend a smaller, lighter battery.

Many thanks

Neil

Sorry cant help Nellie but ask as many questions as you like someone will be along in a bit to answer. Have asked loads of daft questions myself #icon_thumbsup#

Perhaps you need to adjust your technique when driving, vaping is a bit different to smoking

I tend to have my e-cig next to me and only pick it up and use it when I have a hand free, IYSWIM, i never just let it dangle out of my mouth. as an ex rollie smoker I couldn't even let the cig-a-likes just dangle like that, lol.

The only other thing I can think to recommend would be one of these

I have no idea about your egoC bat, do you have a link to the one you bought?

Neil, re driving.... the smallest 'decent' battery is probably the SD Keyring at 300mha. A 650mha ego isn't much bigger

You're right oneday, but you need a free hand to press the button

No point having an ego hanging out your mouth

I usually put my pv between my legs whilst driving , perish the thought of a bump

out of interest do you charge yours through a screw cap that comes off for charging on the bottom of the battery? or do you have to take off the carto and charge it that way? like Karma said, a pic of it or a link to the one you have would be a great help

I have a multi charger that I got in a TW yoyo sale , it can take 5 batts at any one time , ego's , riva's , tornado's et al

Remove carto or whatever and screw on to charger



I got this for about £6 plus postage in a yoyo

The colour changing button on the eGo-C is the button that you press whilst inhaling.

As the battery discharges it changes colours (white, light blue, dark blue).

The LED on the bottom is red whilst charging and off when fully charged.

Use the skylite exclusively whilst driving perhaps and use the ego outside the car? Do you drive for extended periods of time?

I doubt you will find a battery with a decent life that you can hold in your mouth whilst driving..

Better battery life=Heavier Battery

I drive with my Riva, but sit it in a dent on the dashboard when I'm not sooking on it

Could you rest it in a cup holder, ashtray ???
