Ismoka eLeaf Mini User's Guide
The iSmoka eLeaf Mini iKit is a great little e-cigarette especially for people who don't want to have to push
a button and who want something that is roughly the size of a tobacco cigarette.
Although the kits come with a user's manual, it's not the most detailed manual you will ever read. Hopefully,
this user's guide will make using your eLeaf Mini iKit a bit easier.
Charging the Batteries of your eLeaf Mini E-Cigarette
Although many people think that a brand new e-cigarette battery should be completely charged before it is
ever used, this is not based upon 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 these
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. 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. Still, we always just use them out of the box until they are drained. Then we give
them a good long charge the first time to make sure they are fully charged for our next use.
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 a 220 mAh eLeaf Mini battery. Fortunately, these lithium ion batteries have circuitry in them to
prevent them from being totally discharged, so you can't really fully drain them. The batteries will shut
themselves down before they get to that point.
When an eLeaf Mini 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
battery.
The eLeaf Mini is unique because it is charged via a pass-through cable. A pass-through cable allows you
to continue using your eLeaf while it is charging. In fact, if you are always plugged into a USB port while
using your eLeaf Mini, you'll never drain the battery at all!
Connecting your eLeaf Mini to the USB pass-through cable and charging the battery is pretty simple:
1. Attach the USB pass-through cable to the USB port on a computer or any other device that has a powered
USB port.
2. Take the free end of the cable (the part not attached to the USB port) and touch it to the tip of the battery. It
will magnetically attach to the battery and will immediately begin charging. You can use the e-cigarette
while it is charging. It takes about an hour to charge a fully drained eLeaf battery.
TIP:
If you do not have a computer or powered USB port, you can purchase a USB-AC E-Cig Wall Charger.
You plug one end into an AC wall outlet and the other end has a powered USB ports that you can plug your
eLeaf Mini pass-through cable into. Keep in mind that the USB-AC Wall Chargers that we sell come with a
charging cord for 510/eGo batteries. You can discard that cord if you have no use for it.
IMPORTANT:
The following precautions MUST be exercised when charging any e cigarette batteries:
1. Only charge e cigarette batteries with the battery charger that comes with the kit. Using chargers with
incorrect voltage or current can cause a fire or permanent failure.
2. Never leave a charging battery unattended.
3. Never charge a battery overnight while you sleep.
