I bought the USB passthrough from puresmoker and the APC Mobile Power Pack from the local computer store, but you can get it on the internet.
I charge the APC Mobile Power Pack overnight.

Peachette I just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I did get mine from Fry while it was on sale. I wouldnt have known about it if I didnt see your post.
Thanks again.

BTW, here's the equation for converting Wh to mAh...

mAh = (Wh / V) * 1000

So for the APC device...

mAh = (10 / 5) *1000
mAh = 2000

Let's examine the specs of each...

Amstron Compact Solar Charger
Rating: 5.5V 1350mAh

APC Mobile Power Pack
Rating: 5.0V 2000mAh

It is readily apparent that the APC is superior in both voltage and mAH. Going higher than 5V is probably a really bad idea since this amount already heats up the atomizer quite a lot! They're designed for 3.6V so a full 1.9 more than that is pushing it way too much IMO.

And now look at the storage capacity (mAh), only 67.5% that of the APC. Meaning it won't last as long before a recharge is needed.

So...not the best choice.

That's a pretty cool looking thing there Stack. Unfortunately, in Central NY, we rarely get 10-15 hours of sunlight...LOL

But I like the fact it charges in 5 hours AC. I wouldn't like one that takes longer than that.

BTW....do you think this matters? I was looking at a device one time but it was for a mini usb...and that wouldn't work:

The SOL-10 is designed for use with Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, or any Mini USB cell phones; additionally it charges your Digital Camera's PDA, MP3/MP4 players.

Hmmm....I thought it was the output rating that mattered and that's why the 500 mah didn't work...not enough output to power the thing.

I could be wrong but from my limited understanding of how electricity works, I'm pretty sure you're right -- it's the amps, not the volts, that determines how hot the coils get.
