2nd Review of the 902

[auTONYmous]

Noob here, with a shopping cart all lined up full of 902 goodness, ready to push the "buy it" button, but I have a couple of burning questions (no pun intended):

1) I read in the first post, "No Leaking"...does that mean no liquid in the mouth, or you can basically vape it in any position, lay it fully assembled on the table, and not see any leaks? (I'm reading the 401s, 510 and the sideshow/l88b models will leak, and those are my backup choices, behind the 902)

2) I'm happy about the manual battery. What I'm not seeing (or haven't read far enough) is there a USB passthrough for the 902?

3) Is the 902 battery/atty compatible with other carts (say blu/sideshow/revolver/510)

4) I'm assuming the battery is a tad too big to ride fully assembled in the PCC, right?

I'd appreciate any responses. Thanks for helping out a noob!

I meant to ask "I'm not seeing the passthrough available on the site for purchase"

Thanks again!

(hmm...ECF needs a "edit post" button, or at least us noobs should have it)

BTW, Tony: My buddy just bought a SideSho, so you'll have a couple orders in SE Michigan today/tomorrow.

I don't experience any leaking form either carts 902/sidesho. Overfilling the carts with juice will make them leak. If you fill the carts properly, you will not have any leaks on either model.

I have a few 902 passthroughs left, I will post the new batch when it comes in probaly on the site next week.

3) Is the 902 battery/atty compatible with other carts (say blu/sideshow/revolver/510)

You can only use 902 carts with the 902 atty. You can use any of those batteries you listed with the 902 atty/carts.

4) I'm assuming the battery is a tad too big to ride fully assembled in the PCC, right?
Correct

Thanks, guys. I agonized over the choices for about 10 hours, and you made it easy in one thread!

I don't own any 5v mod, if the passthroughs are really at 5v then I don't have any problems.

Chefdeuce- have you tested the passthrough to see what the volts are?

I haven't personally tested the Volts (won't even know how) but I was under the impression that all passthroughs run at 5V. Heres a post I found in ask the Experts.

Hi Jeff,

The USB passthoughs run at 5 Volt with as opposed to the stock batteries running at 3.7 Volt so there is a much more consistant and higher voltage using a passthough. It is great if you do not mind be teathered to a wire all day. But sitting at the computer, I never really saw that as a drawback. On the go is a different story.

what would be the best portable powerpack that has a usb port so i can rock my 902 on the passthrough at 5volts while on the go?

 

[neonerz]

@chefduce: some USB passthroughs have batteries in them, that would drop the voltage down to 3.7. Can you use the USB passthrough while its not plugged in? If you can, its def not 5v. Just because you can't doesn't necessarily mean it is 5v, but I would say it *probably* is. Using a multimeter would easily tell you what voltage the usb passthrough is. Just put the positive side onto the contact inside the battery connector, and the negative side onto some kind of ground. I never seen the USB passthrough's Tony has, but if its anything like the normal batteries, the metal casing is a ground.

@auTONYmous: just one comment. Overfilling either will cause leakage, but with the 902, I've NEVER had leakage into my mouth, and the only time I leak out the battery side is when I EXTREMELY overfill it.

@crippledbazooka: I'd either make one, or see if a modder on this site would make you one. I'm pretty sure any 5v portable USB charger that would last you any amount of time is going to run you a pretty penny. A quick google search showed up ~$60

2 Neonerz,
I can't use the passthrough when not pluged in.
I still assume it is 5V because of the performance.
I could be wrong. I don't have the proper tools to check it out though.
I would be intrested if someone does.

 

[VictoryNotVengence]

what model of passthrough will work with the 902?

WHat model of Manual Battery passthrough will work with the 902? Tony sent me an auto batt passthrough with a juice order but I absolutly despise auto batts.

 

[kaeo773]

those were sample passthoughs I sent you for free, I have manual ones coming for both the 902 & sidesho hopefully this week.

 

[deitra]

I have the 902. After I received my 901s I put the 902s in my drawer. Mainly because my 901s came with the 100 carts I ordered. This has been several months ago. I pulled it out yesterday and took a puff. After months is was still charged and hit great. It has a very smooth draw, great th and makes lots of vapor.

 

[GoodDog]

Tony hooked me up with a 902 and I look forward to getting it. I'm so tired of the problems with 510 attys and carts!

 

[enigmad]

I'm really excited to start vaping and from the reviews I am really anxious to start on a 902. Really hoping to get one on order soon. ;D!

 

[2112]

I just ordered my 902 the other day. Thanks to Chef for the great info and advise, and to Tony for as far as I can see A great Product. This is my first time trying vapeing and I am very excited about it! thanks all!

 

[Garnoch]

Good luck!

 

[2112]

thanks mate! I ordered the 902 with some E juice Monday night. My room mate who works at a fish store is picking me up the blue foam tonight as well! Now I just an waiting on the package to arrive . Still says it is processing, but I figure it to be a popular item so it may be in low stock atm.

 

[2112]

Biting my tongue already! Tony keeps his promises! I went to cook some dinner after my ast post and by the time I got back to my computer the 902 starter kit and E-Juice had shipped. Thanks Tony I'v already recommended your site to a friend who was gonna go with Blu cigs.

 

[Garnoch]

Great news. You'll love it once you get used to dealing with the ins and outs of an ecig so stay with it! The worst part though is simply waiting for the package.

LOVE your avatar, 2112!! But I think you should put on Vapor Trails when you get your 902
