Jeffb Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Maybe its a Joyetech charger issue and we should be using Vision's chargers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ugh. I'll go hunt down a Vision charger then. If I have to change to a proprietary charger just for the Vision Spinner I'm not going to be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Where does one get a Vision charger? None of the suppliers I order from have anything but Joyetech and generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 visioncig.com is where I found it just now. Ordered two to make the shipping worthwhile, it was reasonable. Hopefully, this will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Frankly, I dont think even a vision charger will solve this issue. I mean they state it should be a standard ego charger and I dont think it gets more standard than joye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiderep Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I am trying to help us get to the bottom of this so I hope these pictures show you what I'm using, I have no idea where my wife got hers and mine is from a starter kit I got a few years ago and I plug it into an extra phone charger part I had lying around. I also put a pic of our bathroom outlet(only place we charge them) that has one of those fuse deals built into it, maybe that makes a difference?

bcartervol98 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 I doubt the GFI outlet would make a difference. My wall adapters and chargers have the exact same ratings, not sure why it would be different. Like I said one day I was watching mine and it went green and I left it alone and it was still green about 10 minutes later but as I was about to unscrew and reattach it kicked in on its own. Definitely an issue that is widespread as about everyone I know experiences the same thing. I do know when I leave them plugged in all night they are fully charged the next morning without exception but there are definitely pauses in the charging cycle.

That may be what is happening with ours then. We plug ours in at bedtime and in the morning they are fully charged. I haven't watched for a pause or noticed one for that matter but it may well be happening to us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Im going to put mine on hyper charge next time (leave it on the charger overnight) lol. See if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Okay. I tried leaving it on charge overnight. Did nothing. Battery shuts off in the "blue" cycle. Does not charge further until disconnected and reconnected. I tried dialing spinner to 4.8 position before charging. It did absolutely nothing. Someone on ecf reported this worked for him. It did not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Smith Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 vision chargers wont help. it's not a charger issue. it's a vision spinner II issue. Mine does the same thing and it's not a clone or a knockoff. it's the real deal. just need to unhook and rehook the charger to keep it charging all the way. Annoying quirk for such a great device.

Tam Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Here's an update on the charger made by Vision. So...the Spinner 2 finally needed to recharge. I put it on the Vision charger earlier tonight. While it's still charging right now and the light on the charger hasn't turned green yet, it cycled through the orange to blue to white without my needing to do anything to it. This is only one charge so I'm still not totally convinced yet but it's looking good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 From full-empty to fully charged without having to take it off the charger once when I used the charger made by Vision. I won't be totally convinced until it's worked a couple more times but it's a great start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Good to know! Thanks You're welcome, but didn't you have the same experience once with a no-name charger as well? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't just a one-time thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Yep. I swear the first time I charged it it charged all the way through. I don't know what I did or why. I have 2 now and they both do not fully charge in one cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'm having a small problem with my Spinner 2. The darned thing holds a charge for too long. Lol. I've been vaping on this thing as much as I can today and it's still flashing white at me. Of course, when I want to charge it -- it doesn't cooperate.

bcartervol98 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 The last 4 out of 5 times I charged ours I left them on overnight and they were fully charged. It's hit and miss for me I just keep an eye on them. They are pretty much all I use anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I have found that if I completely run out the battery it goes through the charging cycle with no problems, but if I charge it while its not fully used thats when its stops charging at blue sometimes.......<--did that make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty much all I use anymore. Guess it's more miss than hit for me. Tried twice to do the overnight charge on the Joyetech charger and both times it stuck at the blue and wouldn't continue to charge until I disconnected and reconnected again. Ha! I finally got it down to orange. It should need charging again...soon-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 My Spinner finally needed a charge. I took it to work with me today so I could keep an eye on it while charging to see if Jeff's experience with a regular charger would work as long as the battery was all the way discharged first. Plus, I forgot my Vision charger at home but I keep Joyetech chargers at work. It got up to the blue and...stopped. I vaped it back down and it's on the Vision charger now. I'll post when it stops charging. Fingers crossed that it'll go through all the different lights and gets a full charge without having to disconnect and reconnect.

Tam Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Fully charged on the Vision charger with no need to disconnect. Not so much with the Joyetech charger. I think this is setting a precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Mine are all charging fully on an overnight charge without fail now. Only had 1 instance in the last 12-15 charging cycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 So if I understand this, the consesus is to vape it down all the way first and it should charge completely.. I havent been doing that. BUT...I've got one almost all the way down. Im in the orange zone. I'll give it a shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
