12v car battery passthough?

[captainbrianbeard]

So im thinking it would be neat to make a 510 passthrough that connects to the cig lighter in my car using the 12v power of the car battery. Would this be possible using a high voltage atomizer? Or is 12v too much for an atomizer to take? Just an idea.

12v would be way too much, even for an HV atomizer. I know there is a thread on here somewhere where a guy actually used the cigarette lighter AS the atomizer. Myself I would just use a cigarette lighter adapter for a normal usb passthrough.

Yup. Agree. Get a 2.0 amp or better 12v-cig-lighter to USB adapter. Use either a 3.7 volt PT, or direct 5v PT per your preference. Then you can use the PT with a mains AC->USB adapter as well as car 12 volt.

im sure someone else may have thought this up.... BUT if not...

how about a pt that plugs into a 12v source..... thats VV, maybe even juice fed? a drivers best friend on long trips
im sure this can be done on the cheap

I believe scubabatdan as a similar design posted somewhere.

 

[captainbrianbeard]

if im using a 5v PT but my wall/ciglighter adapter is not 2.0 amps or better, will it not perform like it should?

 

[bstedh]

No, depending on the type of PT it might not even do anything at all. My 808-PT from LeCig will not do anything unless I have at least 1.5A available to it.

my pt is a madvapes 5v 510. and for some reason im getting better hits on my 3.7v mod. The wall to usb adapter is rated at AC 120v .15A and DC 5v .5A. pretty sure thats my problem. can i get 2amp adapters locally or do i have to get them at ecig suppliers?

Look around, I have found them for things like the Ipad but they seem to be a lot less expensive online. Plus stay away from smart chargers that will prevent over charging and such as they also will not work right. For our use the cheapies are the best because we don't want that fancy protection to kill our vape=]

i have one from my iphone and its better but is still only putting out 1A. guess ill have to look around

Nice one. Easy to make too.

On your device would it matter what PT i was using? would a standard joye pT and my madvapes 5v perform the same when setting it to 5v? I was thinking of doing something similar but not using the usb and hardwiring in a home made PT with a project box, a switch, and an atty conector

Walgreen's sells a variable voltage cig lighter w/ USB cable for $9.99. I think it's 2A. Works well because I like 4.5V. It has 8 increments between 3-12V. Look near the flashlights and such.
