5 volt pass thru question

[Bandu00]

Okay I know this might sound like a stupid question and it probably is but I'm gonna give it a go.

I know how the pass thru works and everything but if I buy a 5v one for my 510 attys does this mean is pretty much the same thing as using a 5v mod? Because I'm usually around a usb port lol (office and home) so I would love to actually see how good 5v vaping is. So this mean I can get to experience this for less than 20 dollars? If it is that would be awesome. Also I hear I shouldn't use low res attys with 5v is this true? What is the suggested ohm on an atty for 5v? Thanks for all the help.

Bandu out!

Yes it is 5v if it has not got a battery on it and i think it would be the same as a 5v mod . I use a pass through 801 all the time with standard resistance atomizers . I drip . Good vape .

Yes it will be 5v regulated just like a 5v mod if you use an adapter and not a computer USB port. You need a usb/ac adapter rated at 2 amps or more for the pass through. 3.7 pass throughs with inline battery are ok to use on a computers usb port but with a 5v pt the amperage draw can be more than the port is designed for. It could harm your computer, port or at the very least you likely won't be getting a full 5v vape from it.

AC Adapters are not expensive and will also allow you ot use the pass through when your not around a computer which is a big plus for me personally.

2 amp AC to USB Adapter, ideal for Passthroughs

Running a passthrough without a battery directly from a USB port will toast your 'puter. The USB ports aren't designed for that kind of power draw. Get an adapter.

Ditto on the A/C ->USB adapter.

I use joye 510 3.0 ohm atties at 5 volts. That's 8.33333 watts. PT's and mods. Keeps me off cigs. None of that lame slow draw stuff, or "simulating HV" with LR. Just go 5v IMO. Good Luck.

I don't know if they've made improvements on the design but they die easy. I went through 3 PTs in a very short period of time.

I read a while back about people putting tape around the cord/device connection to prevent it but hopefully they've fixed this issue by now.

That's a good point Phayah. OP the tape is on the end for cord strain-relief since you pull on it as you vape. The other end of the cord is the USB connector.

Another issue is getting juice in the button... bad...very bad. Particularly if you are a dripper like me.
