Here is some great info about charging batteries

As far as I know the Electronic Cig uses a Lithium-ion battery, so we do we have to charge it for 10+ hours? Doesn't really make much sense to me.

AGS,

I don't see why the 10+ hour initial charge would be necessary to be honest. I have been kind of curious of this since day one. I don't know why the charge would be necessary when Lio batts. dont have a memory and not recieving a full initial charge doesn't damage them in any way. I'm hoping to do some tests to some e-cig batts with a DMM to see if there seems to be any difference, the only thing is that I want to test a brand new battery not fully charged yet and can't do that until I recieve either a new starter kit or a new batt. Keep an eye out for the information though, you will eventually see it in one of the videos that Chris and I do.

If they are infact Li-Ion batteries there is no need for an extended first charge http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-12.htm

That's what I was trying to say. The initial charge should not be necessary. Like I said though, once I have a brand new batt, an old batt, and a DMM ready I am going to do some tests to try and prove that this theory is wrong.

One test I have already. What I did was take one brand new batt and give it the recommended initial charge, I took the other batt in the starter kit and just started puffin away. It has been about a month now that I have been using both batts and both are working great. One does not seem to operate better or last longer than the other. So far things are looking good!!
