Default All day battery via USB cable

Thought this was cool
Now you have the e-cig tethered via USB cable to the battery which sits in your shirt pocket. I might just do that and solve all my battery problems at one time. I could carry a 901 a pen and a cigar and just have one battery for all of them.

Hold on deewal! There's another thread going on around here about what adapters work best with the usb ecigs. Maybe we can finally get it straightened out before any more unnecessary purchases are made!

Once I get this car and wall adapter issue figured out, then I'm going to look at the battery packs. I did purchase a battery charged usb port but as the others, the usb cig didn't work with it. It was suggested I get rechargeable batteries...which I did look into.

But after thinking about it....the idea behind the usb cig (for me anyway) was so I didn't have to recharge and switch batts around! That is exactly what I would be doing with the rechargeables.

I bought the one I did because I thought it ran on just regular household batteries and when I needed them, I could just pop in somewhere and buy them...and never worry about a dead battery when away from home. I don't know if this is ever going to be possible but I'm going to see before I buy a portable charger.

But thanks rob!

BTW....how is this thing charged?
