Pass-Thru not working? - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I just received my pass-thru yesterday. It's a 901 manual. I plugged it in immediately and it didn't work. Does it need to charge first? Or is it broken?

Thanks for any help.

well, first is it sending power to the atty?

boxhead · 10-30-2009, 03:33 PM

to check, use voltmeter or tip of toung, if yes then try different atty.

I touched my tongue to it and nothing happened (no shock or tingly feeling), tried two different atomizers and still nothing. I'll email the vendor and see how he wants to proceed. Thank you.

then there is the staple mod to get power from battery case to atty: Staple Mod - Filling The Center Conductor Gap On Penstyle Atomizers

Does it have an inline battery? Sometimes the battery isn't charged when it arrives and you need to leave the passthrough plugged in to let it charge up or put it on a charger if you have one (not a standard battery charger...) the same as what comes with the cigar kits.

No tongue tingles = dead usually

but could also mean the usb source is underpowered...

tribalmasters · 10-30-2009, 07:18 PM

It would have to be wayy too underpowered or not plugged in not to tingle, one must assume that the passthrough found its way to a USB port, multiple ports and devices tested

My last passthroughs failed in unusual ways the penstyle one made a buzzing sound and got hot near the cord but only when having a vape indicating a short was not in the cord! The other 901 one just kinda started flashing its LED in unusual ways until the switch died! I don't trust them to live long or indeed at all sometimes.
