the usb from bestecig has led on the end,
the usb wire comes out thru the grey plastic - ash -
which is the led light cover.

yes, these little usb things are cheap,
but they certainly do the job....
I havn't used a battery in 4 days !!!

I am dying for the new usb with switch from David
I wish we could just do a sci-fi instant beam in from china, the waiting is excrutiating.......

usb output =500mA
e-cig draw >1000mA

what protection is in these to prevent your motherboard going BANG !!

that's the reason Janty have the battery !!!

Exactly Apostle! A computer USB does not deliver the power required by a e-cig (or not in my experience). A couple of examples:

The Janty USB setup is via a battery box. The battery powers the e-cig, the USB recharges the battery. Toking on the e-cig discharges the battery faster than it's charged and the performance is poor.
A direct USB to e-cig link brings up a warning window on my laptop - but not on other computers. I've checked the circuit and all connections are fine. It performs around the same as the Janty/USB/Battery setup - a little better.

I've tried using a mobile phone recharging battery pack instead of a computer - but it's no better. I guess the power output is set to match that of a USB - makes sense since anything else would have MP3, mobile and camera customers very unhappy.

The best mods posted here (that I know of - not wanting to insult others!) are from Trog, Madog and Bastage. All three use custom battery arrangements.

I'd love to be wrong about this.

even mr.Yangs USB pen goes down the battery box option.

see a piccy here

not to be negative here , but I sure as hell wouldn't trust an unprotected bit of chinese wizardry messing with my £150 motherboard.
maybe Cash could shed some light on it ..

Cheers, I was originally taking that photo to put in this thread, but decided I might as well write a whole review of it. You beat me to the linking
