I am trying to charge it, but all in vain, it isn't charging. I tried about 4 different USB's. None of those I tried worked. It is charging the Stick, that's it.
If anybody knows what to do let me know.
Hi, I'm new here and have searched but couldn't find an answer so help appreciated. When charging my MVP4 no matter what the state of charge when I put it on charge the button shows RED. It stays RED and as the charge builds turns GREEN and then goes out when full. I.e. It never goes through AMBER which all my previous batteries have. Is this normal?
I just got an istick 30w the other day from a local tobacco store. I bought an istick 30w for $45 which isn't too bad, I'm having problems with it not charging to full. I am using a 1a rated charger and it is supposed to charge to full in exactly 2.5 hours with a dead battery. I cannot get it to charge above about 75-80%, no matter what I do. As of now it's been on the charger for 2 hours and 38 minutes and is at about 80%, and is showing no sign of continuing to charge.
When I leave the device on overnight, I will wake up and it will be at around 65%, and it would have just stopped charging. I don't understand.
I have a variable voltage/wattage battery and I have heard that some say charge it as often as you can this reduces stress, others say that's bad, some say a combination of long and short cycles but I don't know which is best. My battery's manual said get down to 10% but it doesn't measure it accurately (but I love these batteries so I don't want to change but they are expensive so I want to prolong their life span as long as possible even if that does mean charging them very often.) I do have two so charging often isn't an inconvenience for me if that's what I am supposed to do.
Can I use an external battery pack to charge an IPV Mini?
I have a 10,000mAh external battery to charge my cell phone (Note 4, with a 3500mAh battery), which has 2 options for charging: 1.5v=1A and 2.5v=2.1A.
Is it recommended? Is it safe? Are there any precautions I need to take if I use the battery pack?
I haven't gotten around to getting an extra 18650 battery (and charger) for the IPV Mini. I've finally realized that it takes maybe 2-3 hours to charge the battery via the USB cable. But the one battery doesn't quite last me all day, depending on how heavy I'm using the Mini.
I usually carry a Volcano Inferno once the Mini dies, but the Volcano really sucks in comparison to the Mini. I'd love to be able to charge the Mini while I'm out and about.
I've added a pic of the external battery for specific information.
Thanks for all your help.
So i got a smok gpriv deluxe edition about 3 months ago. Its worked perfectly but then i let it sit unused for around 1 month. Now when trying to charge the batteries nothing works. Its not showing any signs of life. Im currently charging one battery in a smok grip but its still on 0 percent after 20 minutes of charging. Is it a battery issue? Or a mod issue
I bought a brand new freemax twister 80W kit and when i connect it to the charging port the blue ligt flashes then theres no light to show that it is charging, what may the problem be???
I charge it over night so it has a full battery in the morning. Then i will charge it again later on in the day for about an hour or 2. It it ok to just charge it for short periods of time like this?
Hi
I'm using Samsung 21700 T40 batteries.
Trying to figure out..
Is it best to charge a battery when it's discharged or nearly discharged?
I like to keep things simple with a routine of charging once a day, but then the battery will be set to charge even when there's 15-30% power left.
Is that bad for the battery?
I'm not battery expert so I am not sure how everything works, but here are my concerns.
My Smok Thallo can charge at a 1.2A current but it is a USB-C, why include a USB-C if 5V/1.2A can charge as quickly with a Micro USB? I think.
So here is the question, can I charge my Smok Thallo with a 2.1A if I use the wire that came with the kit? It's hard finding a solid power bank with 5V/1A only. I cannot remove the battery, it has a built-in 3000mAH one.
Thanks!
