USB Passthrough Issue

[BriDog67]

I have a USB Passthrough for my 510 that suddenly stopped working today. Prior to that it seemed weak at times. I pulled the battery out and put it back in and it worked for one hit and died again.

Could this be the battery and if so, is it the same as a rechargeable AAA battery or is there something special about it?

Why does this thing have a battery in the first place?

Nevermind folks, I found the answer in another post.
For those interested it basically said chill out and give it time to catch up.

The battery regulates the voltage so you don't blow your USB ports out and also if the battery wasn't inline when you unplugged the device it wouldn't hold a charge therefore it would no longer work after you unplugged it so it serves some kind of a dual purpose.

the other "passthru's" don't have batteries

[tribalmasters]

The ones that don't have battery require a high powered USB port to vape well. USB from a computer gives us a not so vape tastic 500mah but our atomisers want 1000 mah. The way round it is a mains USB adapter with 1000mah output such as the ipod battery charger or a Kensington USB battery pack! With the handy 510 passthrough any USB port will do even the low powered laptop ones!

tribalmasters: when my ipod charger quit working right(i never used it for my ipod anyways), I found a charger for something in my junk box-i cut the usb end off my usb passthru -cut the end off that charger and spliced(?) them together-works great-just plug it into the wall (and the cord is longer now since its the length of both spliced together.) the charger said 5v output-2000ma. Yeah, I think it does work better than plugging into the usb port on my pc.

The Joye-510 passthrough is a piece of junk, pure and simple. The amount of power it draws is so low it could not hurt a USB port. A real passthrough doesn't need a battery. Most users I have heard comment do not like the Joye-510 passthrough. It just doesn't supply enough power to perform properly.

I hope you meant that you are waiting on the PS PT? That is a real product. I'm waiting on one of the new versions myself.
