E-Cig.co.uk Classic USB Passthru Batt ?

[MrFog]

I just ordered a pass thru for my mini and it works well, but speaking of customer service, they accidently sent me 15ml of Riskee rather than the 50ml I ordered and once I contacted Simon he said he would send out the 50ml and I could keep the 15ml as a good will gesture.

Electronic Cigarette | Free Yourself... | e-cigs Welcome is a consistently good service and Simon is a top bloke.

I got a USB passthrough from PS. It really worked great...initially. After several days the darn thing started staying ON! If you scout around this forum you'll see that the "suction switch" can be problematic. If juice gets in there or whatever, it will stick or not make contact. Pretty crappy design (not PS fault). So I proceeded to make my own out of a AC/DC power cube, flashlight and switch. Now, no problems! Also keep in mind that USB can only deliver so much power. Check your USB config setting to see how much amperage can be used. May work better plugged into a powered USB hub, power battery or adapter. There are tons of posts here in the forums.

Happy Vaping!

That's some good info Mike, nice one. I reckon a good soaking in isopropyl alcohol overnight should loosen things up. Juice is bound to get in the battery area a little and once it evaporates it gets sticky and clogs the switch.

Oooooh, I don't know about using alcohol. Could ruin a battery or switch. It is conductive ya know. Best just to try to keep the juice out of the thing.

Has anyone tried a USB splitter cable to allow the power of 2 USB ports (2 x 500 mah). These splitters are used for many hard drives.
