I want to ask you... did your kit come with charging instructions regarding your initial charge ??
Unless things have changed with the Joye510 batts right out of the box (meaning, that the seller has precharged them for you), I've always followed the instructions which stated to "initial" charge them for 6-8 hrs regardless of l.e.d. indicators on the charger.
This has always worked well for me with not having any battery "short life" issues.
Just thought I'd mention it if you were unaware of the norm.

That's a tough one. All Li-ions are partially charged from the manufacturer when shipped (not fully) as that's the nature of the technology. It's hard to say exactly how all e-cig chargers work, but Li-ions are not to be trickle charged once the proper 4.2V upper limit is reached (for 3.7V batteries).
It's also important to be careful when trying to use different chargers for various e-cig batts. A good example is the 'charger' supplied with the popular disposable 510 kits floating around. It's not really a charger (which would denote some sort of circuit to determine when to stop), it's just a power supply and even though standard Joye batts fit, it will destroy them if left on too long. It would appear the disposable batts themselves contain the shut off circuit. I believe M401 batts function the same way.
The same can be said for cell phone 'chargers', they aren't chargers, they are simply power supplies that supply power to the charger inside the phone.
