Batteries HELP please

[BurgenSnurgen]

My batteries keep flaking out. suspect I'm over-charging them? I tend to leave them on charge overnight.

I didn't mind so much when it was the small, reasonably cheap batteries, but I bought an EXPENSIVE Ego C-Twist less than eight weeks ago and that seems to have completely flaked on me now, grrr. nothing's happening when I attach it to the tank and the light is permanently white (rather than blue).

Is overnight charging a complete no-no? Does this mean you have to have TWO batteries?

Or could it be a faulty charger?

Do you think I can get my money back for the C-Twist? There was nothing in the instructions about not leaving it on charge (I think)

I'm doing something wrong, I've knackered about four batteries in six months

v grateful for any advice, thanks gals

i was told not to leave them charging overnight

Thanks, I suspect you're right

Having said that I just found about wiggling the centre pin of the C-Twist back up so that it makes contact with the tank better and it seems to have worked, maybe I was screwing it into the charger too tightly

The light is still white though, don't really understand why...

I've left mine on charge overnight a few times, forgetting to take them off. But it IS recommended that you don't leave them on overnight for safety reasons if nothing else.

I have a couple of Ego C-twists, never had a problem charging either of them (and yes I have left them both on overnight at some stage!)

I would hazard a guess that it could be your charger playing up, as I tend to abuse my batteries (drop them, leave them on charge, let the dogs slobber on them etc) and never had a problem with the C-twists, and they do have a good reputation.

I would strongly recommend having at least one spare battery. Apart from being able to charge one & keep using the other, it means if your battery dies for whatever reason (and they don't have an unlimited life) then you have another to use while ordering a replacement. Cheap batteries are a false economy, as they are unlikely to be manufactured to the same standard as more expensive ones and could even be hazardous. And a decent quality battery really isn't THAT expensive, the C-twist should only cost around £20 which is what 2.5 packs of real cigarettes?

If by light you mean the button on the battery, mine are both white when I press them anyway?

Also make sure you don't screw on your clearomisers to tight as this will push the centre pin down as well.

Thanks both. yes you're right about them being comparatively cheap, I suppose I've got used to not paying for fags now I'll get a spare.

My light is usually blue, it only turned white a couple of days ago. I've got absolutely no idea why though, i've always found the indicator lights a bit baffling.

Any good recommendations for chargers? I tend to use the ones that come along with the vaping starter packs but there are probably better models out there.

Thanks
