Vibe SE 2: Green light stays on and device stops charging
Written by Vape & E-Liquid Team Last updated
The green LED stays on and the device stops taking a charge. This is the over-charge protection cutting in, not a fault.
Why this happens
- Over-charge protection activated: the built-in protection halts charging automatically once the battery is full, leaving the green light on as a fully-charged indicator (manual LED codes: Over Charging)
How to fix it
- Disconnect from the charger as soon as the LED stays green. A solid green light means the battery is fully charged; the device has stopped charging on purpose.
- Do not leave the device plugged in indefinitely. The over-charge protection will halt charging automatically, but removing the cable promptly is the correct practice.
- Note the LED behaviour after disconnection. The green light will turn off after approximately 10 minutes once unplugged, which is normal.
- Check you are using the correct cable. The manual specifies a Type-C cable; using a different cable type may cause unexpected charging behaviour.
- If the green light stays on well after disconnecting and the battery does not appear to hold charge, contact Vaporesso support or your retailer, as the protection circuit may need assessment. Do not attempt to open or modify the device.
Other Vibe SE 2 problems
- Battery-colour light flashes 5 times and device stops working The battery-level indicator light flashes 5 times and the device cuts out immediately when you try to fire it. This is the device reporting a no-load or high-resistance condition at the pod contacts.
- Device stops working and LED cycles green–blue–red The device cuts out mid-puff and the LED flashes green, blue then red in sequence. This happens when a draw or button press has lasted 8 seconds or longer.
- Pod leaking e-liquid E-liquid is escaping from the pod, either around the fill port or from the base where it connects to the battery. This can happen during normal use, after filling, or when travelling.
- Red light flashes 3 times and device stops working The red indicator flashes 3 times and the device cuts out completely. This is the built-in low voltage or over-discharging protection triggering to prevent battery damage.
- Red light flashes 4 times and device stops working The red indicator light flashes 4 times and the device cuts out and stops producing vapour. This is the built-in high-temperature protection activating.
