Innokin VV V3 - Charging - "Standard MICRO USB Cable" POWERED by Computer OR Wall Adapter?

[Fast and Furious]

"The iTaste VV V3 is charged through a Micro USB Port. You can recharge it with any standard MicroUSB cable. It can also work as a pass-through device for simultaneous vaping and charging."

I see it comes with the "Micro USB (Space Saving) Compression Charger" which attaches to a USB port.

I also have read it is not advisable to use the computer USB port. So - confusion.

Would it be "safe" to use a JoyeTech AC/DC Wall adapter and plug the USB cable in it? Rating says: 4.2 Volts DC @ 420ma. on the adapter.

Thanks ......... I have NOT purchased it yet; just looking.

I have the itaste V3 (in chameleon)

I have been charging using retractable USB charge wire (came with V3) + separate wall plug (USB slot/mains) that I bought from the same vendor.

I did ask about laptop charging on here and was recommended against it, basically to protect the laptop if anything does happen.

hth, the V3 is awesome btw!

I actually use my Samsung Galaxy S4 charging cable along with the wall adapter. I have been doing this now for 2 months with no issues and was told this was fine when I purchased it.

I've used my laptop to charge both my ego spinners and my vv3 with no problems.
Caveats:
1) Some laptop USB ports (or powered USB hubs) may be underpowered so you won't reach a full charge (but close enough)
2) Don't leave your batteries plugged in and unmonitored for long periods.This goes for the wall warts as well.

This. Best option is an USB/AC wall adaptor.

Every USB port can output AT LEAST 500mA which is more than the Joyetech adapter can deliver.
So I'm not sure what the others have based their answers on.
