Ovale eCab E-Cigarette User's Guide
The instructions that come with an Ovale eCab starter kit are far better than those that come with most
electronic cigarette starter kits. Even so, the following Ovale eCab user's guide might clear a few things up
that you may find confusing:
Charging the Batteries of your Ovale eCab E-Cigarette
An Ovale eCab is unique because its charger can charge two batteries simultaneously. This sure can
speed things up - especially at the beginning, when neither of your brand new batteries are likely to have a
full charge in them.
Although many people think that a brand new Ovale eCab e-cigarette battery should be completely
charged before it is ever used, this is not based upon any known sound electronic theory as it relates to
lithium ion batteries. Lithium ion batteries do not have a "memory" so there is no reason to follow the
charging practices of old with e-cigarette batteries.
The fact is, when you first get an e-cig battery, you will not be the first person to charge it anyway; the
factory always puts either a full or partial charge in batteries to test them before boxing them up and
shipping them out.
It should be noted, however, that lithium ion batteries tend to last longer if they are not completely drained
every time before they are charged. We realize this is especially hard to judge especially with a very small
battery like the Ovale eCab has.
Also keep in mind that if the factory just charged the battery enough to test it, it will not produce quite as
much vapor as a fully charged battery will and, of course, it will not last very long before needing to be
recharged. You really should charge your batteries before using them when you first get your kit but if you
absolutely must play with your new toy, go ahead and take a few puffs using one of the batteries before
putting it on the charger to get its first good charge.
When a Ovale eCab e-cigarette battery loses its charge completely it will blink a dozen times or more. Any
further attempts at using the battery will be futile. When that happens, it's definitely time to charge your
Ovale eCab battery as follows:
1.
cord to the USB port in the AC wall plug. You can also skip this step and plug
your Ovale eCab charger's cord directly into a computer or any other device's powered USB port. Keep in
mind, however, that it will take considerably more time to charge an Ovale eCab battery from the lower
powered USB port than it does from an AC wall outlet.
2. Plug the Ovale eCab charger into a working AC outlet (obviously, you don't need to do this if you are going
to be charging your Ovale eCab battery from a computer or other USB device). The light on your charger
should turn green, indicating that it is getting power.
3. Take one or two batteries and slide them into the charger. Admittedly, it is extremely difficult to see the
positive and negative sign on both the Ovale eCab batteries and the charger. You should notice, however,
that one end of the battery has a slightly raised bump and the opposite side is completely flat. The side with
the slightly raised bump is the positive side. The positive side should face toward the green LED lights. If
you put an uncharged battery in the charger correctly, you will see the LED light on the side of the charger
that you placed the battery turn red. If it doesn't turn red, try it the other way. If you only are charging one
battery, only one of the LED lights will turn red. If you are charging two batteries, both LEDs should turn
red.
4. There is no need to charge your new eCab batteries for a super lengthy period of time. When the charging
light turns from red to green, your eCab battery is fully charged and ready for use (this takes about 2 hours
if the battery is completely drained).
IMPORTANT:
The following precautions MUST be exercised when charging your Ovale eCab batteries:
