Leaving the pass through plugged in?

[MikeMac]

I've had mine for a few days now. Though I have it plugged into a USB2.0 hub that has it's own power block. I can even shut down the computer and use it since the hub is always powered through it's own brick.

I would think that plugging it into your keyboard port (like on a Mac) or into the front or back of your PC could cause problems since there is a maximum power load it can handle. Which incidentally is why USB hubs come with power bricks.

I got mine and it made an unsatisfying vape, my USB ports only output 500ma but the atomiser likes to have twice that power. Luckily I found my old ipod mains charger, it plugs into the mains and provides an amp via its USB port, works perfect now! I'm waiting for my USB battery to arrive and had the idea of getting me a USB splitter cable to allow the power of 2 USB ports to power the ecig much like some portable hard drives use. I leave it plugged in and powered on all the time, I am sure the crusty old ipod charger doesn't care

OK, so I've been experimenting with my USB passthrough and reading all these posts about a USB Hub not having a minimum of 1 amp.

So, I sit at my desk all day long anyhow. I don't need it for the car or whatever. So I scrounged around my electronic components and found a power cube from some old router or drive or something (don't know what it came from). Nevertheless, I read that it puts out 5VDC @ 2.5amps! Sweeeeet!

So I proceeded to hack off the USB plug on the passthrough and directly wired it into the newly found power cube.

So now I plug into the wall and straight into my vaporizer with cartridge! It works GREAT!!

I just noticed. It does heat up a vaporizer real quick (all that power ya know). So I best not be constantly hitting on it. At least not too much.

I think it works maybe TOO good! NOT!

Wow you must be getting a great hit--but I think that would fry any atomizer!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look out

2.5 amps seems rather high, you may possibly end up frying your atomizers much sooner.

But if you wish to be a guinea pig, then let us know how it works out after using it a while

Oh ye of little faith!

It hits strong and hasn't missed a beat. Been using it every minute or two since I last posted. Dripping 2 small drops every 10-15 minutes. This thing KICKS hiney!

This is too much fun!

Wait, I'm think I'm feeling a little whoooosey...

Just kidding!

I'll let you all know tomorrow how it goes.

I bought a USB portable power block for mine so I can vape anywhere with it and I never take it off unless I need to recharge the power block. I get 2 full days of heavy vaping with the usb battery block before the block needs recharging and a much stronger hit. Goodbye batterys!!

If this will power the Janty Classic Kissbox, via the USB connector, I want one! Could some kind soul post a link to one, preferably in the UK?
