Cigarette battery charger including the USB port charger, the wall plug-in charger, and the mobile E pack charger to enjoy electronic smoking.
Wall Cigarette Battery Charger Assembly
Other than with disposable electronic cigarette packages, the e cig battery is designed to be charged. An e cig battery needing to be charged, is indicated when the LED tip starts blinking while it is in use. Other indications are difficulties inhaling through the smokeless cigarettes and the diminishing amount of smoke from good cartomizers.
Disposable electronic cigarette batteries are designed to last as long as the cartridges or cartomizers. They do not have to last longer as they are designed to be disposable.
All of the major brands including Green Smoke, E Smoke, Smoke 51, and Blu Cig offer a charging arrangement to charge your mini electronic cigarette with a plugin charger that plugs into a wall socket or an USB port on a computer.
To charge smokeless cigarettes screw the e cig battery into the USB adapter. Insert the USB end of the adapter into a USB port of a computer or the wall adapter. Insert the cigarette battery charger wall adapter into a wall socket. If everything is connected properly and the battery needs charging a red LED light will come on on the charger
Lithium-ion Battery Charge Cycles
A lithium ion cigarette battery for the mini electronic cigarette and the portable cigarette battery charger do not require priming like nickel based batteries do. They do not need to be charged for 8 hours or more before being used. Leaving them in the charger longer than 3 hours promotes corrosion by causing plating of the metallic lithium in the e cig battery and reduces their lifespan.
If cared for properly, the lithium ion cigarette battery should last 300 charge and discharge cycles. It will last no longer than 2-3 years whether it is used or not for electronic smoking.
When the battery connections to the charger are done properly and the battery needs charging, The red LED light will come on the charger confirming it is charging the battery. The battery is protected by an over-charge protection circuit that prevents the battery from being overcharged at more than 4.30 V. If the battery does not need charging the red LED light will not come on when the battery connections to the charger are done properly.
The e cig battery is charged at 4.2 V for about 3 hours. Full charge is attained after the threshold voltage of 4.2 volts has been reached. Then the current drops to 3% of the rated current. The green LED light will come on on the wall charger.
E Pack
The E pack is a mobile cigarette battery charger to be manufactured for the E8 and E9 cigarette models including the Green Smoke, E Smoke, and Smoke 51 Duo brands. It resembles a normal pack of cigarettes with the dimensions (L x W x H) - 59 mm x 21 mm x 94 mm and it comes in various colors resembling analog cigarette pack color schemes.
