I have both but I only use the RN. I ordered a bunch of extra atty's and have yet to use them. I have noticed that if i flood it it doesnt give a good throat hit at all just alot of liquid in my mouth.so I only drip the cart and very rarely drip into the atomizer.
That Kensington power pack is a good unit--but reports have been posted that the draw can exeed the 1 amp or in the alternative it is shorting out--try a different pack--the best ones have a .5 mH with a max of 1amp output so as to not overload the atomizer---Sun
Uggggggg I just spent over $40 on this one and everyone else seems to have no problems that I've seen here. Could it be that I'm drawing to hard and heat it up too much?
Lucy --you tried other passthoughs and the draw is not the issue--the posts are on other forums as well and there was the same issue with the Apex one here a few months ago. There should be a warranty on it--but I would not use that one till you get a replacement. That will take care of the issue---Sun
I just bought the Kensington too. I haven't really used it because my passthrough doesn't work. What brand should I get instead?
Queen, others haven't been reporting these problems with the Kensington and I don't think mine is defective. I'm wondering if it just is the 4075 attys and I get them too hot and draw too hard. I don't know. I slapped on this best e cig one and we'll see how this goes. If it's toast in a week I don't know what to do!
Queen--I have been using this one since Jan and it is a beast to say the least--3 days inbetween charges and only 6 hours to charge--Comes with Auto adapter as well--Sun

Lucky --the nicocrome coil can handle at least a good 30 second draw without issue--you can not see the short in the powerpack--only the result--which is a dead atomizer--suspect that power pack as these things are not reliable--nothing is in this deal----Sun
So this one puts out less power than the Kensington to not fry attys? Is that what you are saying? What is the primary difference? $16 for shipping? OMG a little steep!
Lucky--the shipping is a little high but at 3000mAH--it lasts forever--the
USB Output: DC 5V 0.5A(1A Max.), 20Wh
Is key as it does not overload the atomizer and it has indicator lights to tell you how low you are. It really is worth the price--I bought 2 of them as you never know when they will stop selling them--it is a much better unit then the Kingston for sure and should sell for more---Sun
The only difference, Sun, is the 3000 mah that it will last longer than the Kensington, as it is 1800 mah, so I see your point there, but the other parts are identical, has DC 5V and 1A MAX on it. So there is no other differences in the unit except for the one you have lasting longer. So you are basically saying the the Kensington may put out MORE than the 1A max and that the one you bought is better because it is not doing that. Correct?
Lucky--the Kingston is having the same issue the Apex did some months ago--it's output is askew and shorting out the atomizer. These powerpacks are notorius for this instablilty where a sensitive current draw is required. I have never scene a bad report on the unit I reccomened and I will buy it from you Lucky if you buy it and it does not meet or exceed your expectations!!!!---Sun
Okay, Sun, I'll do it, but I have to check with Best Buy that they will refund my money because it says you will receive a CREDIT for your purchase if it meets the return criteria. So I don't know if they will give me my money back or they want to give me a store credit. I need to clarify. Yes it's worth spending the extra money because I've went through 4 attys now so I'd make that up in no time.
Yes, we have 30 days to return the Kensington and get a refund, so I'll order that one Sun and return this one. Not really spending that much more money either.
Lucky--glad to hear about the return policy--let me know how you like the

when you get it!!!--Sun
I will. If you've been using it since January and not frying 4 attys a week, it has to be better. Plus I will like the longer charge time. That would be great.
