I have a bunch of usb to barrel-plug cables, USB wall warts, and usb car adapters that I have been using with no problems to charge my PCC. USB has a rather standardized output at 5v or so and usually 500 or 1000ma, so in general it should work, but it's always worth double checking.

I'd rather end up with a dead battery and being unable to charge it because my equipment isn't compatible then end up risking killing a battery and leaving me unable to vape until I get a new one.

yeah I have so many cords of this type from past equipment Razr, 2 bluetooths, 2 cameras, Rizr(ztv), Rio (mp3) that I never have to worry about not having a way to charge my pcc. It was great having so many things that used the same cord when I used them all. Now most of it just sits in a box in the closet.

I would love to see the day all of our gadgets & vaping accoutrements can be charged on a powermat.

I use my Razr car charger as a PT for my Janty Stick while driving.

That may be a little different. The JS is made to run/charge off a USB port. The JS is just looking for a power source. A USB port is not a charger, but a regulated power supply. The JS itself will further regulate the voltage (should be 4.2V for Li-ons) and the mAs it's battery needs and know when to stop.

When I look at my Motorola 'charger' with the mini USB all I see and all it claims to be is an AC POWER SUPPLY that outputs 5V @ 550mA. Hard to tell if it's regulated though. By that I mean if you grab a typical wall wart and actually check the voltage they all seem to output at about 12V, regardless if they say 4V, 6V, 9V whatever.

An actual charger is a power supply + the necessary circuits to determine the correct mAs and voltage (no more than 4.2V for Li-ons), and when to quit.

Don't forget the PS3 controller chargers! Come to think of it, the USB passthrough would be perfect for long gaming sessions
