Status light on charger blinks red to green when charging ego twist

[JoshBytes]

Hey all. New to the community been lurking for a couple of months though. I've gotten a lot of helpful advice from this awesome place. So I have a question on charging my ego twist. Normally when I charge a standard ego battery. The status light on the charger is red and when the battery is fully charged it will go green. But when I charge my twist the light will continuously blink red to green. Have any of you all experienced this before? The twist does charge I just lose the convenience of being able to just look at the charger and know when it's fully charged. Thanks all

Might just be the light but if it isn't, your charger could be dying. These cheap chargers often don't last very long.

Mine does the same thing… Working as intended.

When it is fully charged the light will stay green.

I just bought a brand new charger today. And it does the same thing with the twist. Light blinks red and green over and over again.

So this is normal? The light never did go permanently green. Maybe I didn't leave it long enough on the charger. Ah okay

It's a joyetech thing with the red/green blinking. The big Twists do take awhile to fully charge.

Right on. That's great to know. It had been bugging me for awhile now.

When mine die.. I have two of them… It takes an honest 4 or so hours to fully charge them.

With Twists, my charger always did a periodic green blink while charging but went steady green when done. If the charger never gets to steady green, there may be something wrong with it, the battery, or both.

I do have to ask if you use alcohol wipes to clean the charger contacts. They get dirty over time and that'll mess with the charging eventually. Of course, let dry before using (one reason for alcohol as cleaner, it dries fast ).
