Question about USB power pack & battery voltage - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

whatagem · 07-31-2009, 08:21 PM

Sorry if I'm in the wrong place but I thought the modder's forum would be best.

Someone suggested a USB power pack to deliver an extra punch to my 901 habit. As I understand, it's all about voltage. Possibly with the right combo of volts & good liquid I can kick cigs. I just need some clarification....

1. With a standard 901 battery, what is the voltage? (so I can compare)

2. If I simply got a 901 USB passthru for use with desktop PC, what would be the voltage used?

3. I was told a USB power pack is also available in 6 volts. The only other thing I've ever used is GG Nano, 3.6 volt and it's OK but too heavy. Am wondering would 6 volts give me the hit I need to put down cigs? By opinion, of course, but all replies are appreciated.

you sure are a gem whatagem,
I wonder how many threads you need to start to get one question answered.

1. With a standard 901 battery, what is the voltage? (so I can compare)

ANSWER- 3.7 volts.

2. If I simply got a 901 USB passthru for use with desktop PC, what would be the voltage used?

ANSWER- Around 5.25 volts

3. I was told a USB power pack is also available in 6 volts. The only other thing I've ever used is GG Nano, 3.6 volt and it's OK but too heavy. Am wondering would 6 volts give me the hit I need to put down cigs? By opinion, of course, but all replies are appreciated.

ANSWER-USB is always around 5.15 to 5.5 volts, so no, 6v not form USB.

Since you don't want anything heavier than your regular 901 battery, but still want more power , just what i answered on your other thread about the same subject, your only option is a USB power pack.
The other solution i suggest is that you LEARN how to properly use your 901 with the original battery and get some high nicotine juice (24 mg)?
I am almost certain you are doing something wrong, since most users can get huge clouds of vapor from it and with the right nic juice you really don't need more power. It is up to you, but all i can add is that if you just keep thinking about it instead of taking action,things will never change for you.
