How do they tell? Via IP ?

Good idea, but got it handled, daughter jusrubl is ordering and so is bro and sis... so we will be getting everyone what they need.

I don't need more than one as I already have a spare of another brand, and I have my favorite battery supplier also !!! he he...

I ordered mine from fry's last night at 5:30 pm. It was at my door at 3:15 pm when I got home from work today. Less than 24 hours from Ohio to my casa. How the @&$% do they ship that fast! Amazing!

Just got my usb passthrough from Steve yesterday (Thanks Steve!) and my APC today. (It's charging) Can't wait to try it! Being caught out with a dead battery has been my biggest fear. This should solve it.

Thanks for all of you for the info!

i don't think i saw this mentioned...the apc pack comes with a 5v 1.0a usb wall adapter for charging. i assume the passthrough would work plugged into it. anyone try that?

i don't want to spoil your excitement,but have in mind that these passthrough devices also have a switch and a chip.
it's actually a battery without the battery,but with everything else plus the cable.

3 of 4 batteries died on me the last month, it was either the chip or the switch that went bad. in another thread i opened,it seems that it is common for these parts to fail before the actual battery loose it's charge ability.
that said, i suggest you get a spare passthrough device just in case.

The wall adapter has a 1.0a USB female connection on it. The supplied cable has 1.0a male on one end and a mini usb male on the other end for charging the unit. With the charging cable hooked up to the APC there is a 1.0a female port on the unit itself to plug the e-cig bypass battery into. Very slick that you can use this usb charger as a passthrough. It also has 4 white LED's that tell you the state of charge. I'm still waiting to try it out as it is only half charged right now. Will update on performance in about 1.5 hours.

Here's the link to view the instruction manual:

Thanks you guys. I save this for later use. Now maybe I should say something nice? about NJOY? I got an email from Customer Service. Sending the batteries out today. Must have been some invisible scouts around with my downing the product.

Now I'm stuck with the gizmo cause my 30 days is up the 11th. I needed the batteries now and really can't afford them. Just spent 1K on a pooch.

What did you do??? For a dog??? Ya, well as soon as he's old enough, I get $500. to $1,000. for stud service. I'll get it back. I didn't get him for that but it will cover his costs each year. Take a peak on my site if you want to see him. He also has a gene that can give you a rare white Yorkie that runs 5K and up.

That's when I'll probably die from e-cigs.

That's why I'm going to stock up on a bunch of them from China. Then I have them around and not go through what I did today.

Have fun with your new toy.
