Cash's upcoming usb - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I'm an honored beta tester!

I received a USB "bat" for my 901 from Cash a few days ago, black with a red led. I've been using it at work on my old-ish computer with a USB 1.0 port. It does not have a manual switch, so it activates just like a normal bat.

So far, so good. Used it all today and Yesterday at work. It performs just like an almost fully charged bat - all day long.

Probably would work even better with USB 2.0...

The only dicey part are where the threads connect up to the atomiser. They're a little loose and wobbly - but no big deal. I've been assured this will get fixed very soon.

I'm told they're going to available from PureSmoker.com - Your #1 Source For ECigs, Parts, & Accessories! within the next 24-48 hours for the 901, pen, and peewee.

PS: Before you even ask, I don't know the costs.....

If he keeps this up, we're gonna need a direct pipline to Georgia!

Just like at the drive thru banks - money gets sucked to California, and e-cig stuff comes back... Just have to wait for that vacuum cleaner noise...

Thanks for the review, sixstring. I'm definitely looking forward to finally getting a usb battery.

I was also a beta tester for Cash's USB, except mine was for the "Classic Atomizer". As sixstring says the USB I received was all black with a red LED. The wire is secure at the end. The ones I have tried from e-cig.com were loose and you could actually move the wire around. This wire seems more secure.

After I initially tried it at home on my laptop, I put it in my purse to try at work. For some unknown reason Monday morning when I left for work, I forgot my extra batteries and chargers, don't know what I was thinking when I left.

Anyhow, I remembered Cash's USB. The draw on my atomizer was a little different than when it is connected to a battery. It was much lighter. It was nice. I used it all day wth no problems, except I dropped it a couple of times because I was not use to being wired to my computer - LOL..

I then decided to use it again yesterday while at work. No problems. So I will continue using this at work as my main e-cig to see how it holds up.

Will post with any updates.

Sounds interesting, the USB black with red LED, if there is a pic will be better

Rockbassray · 12-11-2008, 12:16 AM

Yes how and where would a LED be placed on a USB connection for the E-cig? the line going to the USB connection replaces where the LED would be , DNAKR can you post a picture of this led.

Sounds interesting (hope the UK suppliers are reading this thread).

Just one thing - I wonder if the USB is weaker? I've 2 USB setups - the Janty and one I made after one of Bastage's early videos. Both rigs are okayish - a little on the limp side / like a dying battery. Some might like this - I don't.

I think the issue is that a computer USB doesn't provide the power that batteries do (albeit briefly). Later mods have battery setups. At first I thought the idea was to lose the wire but I wonder if it was also to do with delivering more power?

Anyway - I'm rambling. Does the USB behave as well as a good battery?
