Why do you need a battery for a pass through?
I though the whole idea of a passthrough was that you didn't need a battery?

I just thought I would ask that question again as I made a mess of it the first time, so why do you need a battery for a pass through?
It's seems Moonbeat doesn't know, is there anyone who does?

IMHO, it's inaccurate to call it a USB passthrough if it has a battery. But the idea is to allow the USB power to recharge the battery when you're not actively vaping. Also, the battery reduces the voltage - USB is 5 volts, but the 10440 batteries are 3.7 volts. 5 volts straight from the USB power would burn-out and/or shorten the life of an atomizer designed for 3.7 volts. That's the idea, anyway. I have seen mention of modders who remove the battery and thus get the full 5 volts.
Also - I'm not sure of this part - the battery may supply more and/or regulate the amperage. USB gives either 500ma (powered) or 100ma (unpowered). On a 100ma bus you'd have a very had time with an e-cig. 500ma is good, but some USB/AC adapters will supply 1000ma. It's possible that 1000ma will also burn-out and/or shorten the life of atomizers, so the battery may also help in this regard.

CAn we just clear this up?
Does a USB have a battery in it or not?
I though it did away with a battery altogeather, even if less than 5 volts is required it would not be hard to reduce it to 3.7 v either by just 'wasting' 1.3
volts somehow or by use of a small step down transformer?
I bought my passthough to save on batteries, if it doesn't I expect I will be sending it back and demanding a refund.
What is 'unpowered' I didn't realise you could get 100ma unpowered, other wise you break the laws of conservation of energy?

Some USB passthroughs have a battery. Some do not.
The one I have has a battery, for my 510. The battery lasts twice as long as a standard 510 battery (360mah vs 180mah).
Even though it has a battery it still saves on the more expensive e-cig batteries, and it makes for a better vaping experience overall because it provides more consistent power. The battery inside mine is a 10440, which is fairly available, and fairly cheap ($3.49 on this site, just as an example: UltraFire 10440 AAA Li-Ion 3.6V Rechargeable Battery 500 mAh FLAT TOP CR10440 Lithium Ion)
You could even buy more of these batteries and use such a USB passthrough "on the go." It does not have to be plugged into a USB port - the USB port recharges the battery, it does not directly provide power to the e-cig.
Concerning "underpowered" - if you plugged a non-battery passthrough into a 100ma USB port that would probably not be enough power to heat the atomizer enough for a decent vaping experience. This is generally only a concern when plugging into non-powered USB hubs (ie; a hub without a power pack AC-DC converter).

As I said: some do, some do not.
We can't help you without info about the one you bought. So go check with where you bought your from, or provide info about the one you bought (web site, their part number, picture, link to the one you bought, something). With that info then maybe someone here can provide the answer you're demanding.
Moonbeat does know but Moonbeat has a full time job and Moonbeat had to go to said job and check on this thread when she gets home.
That said, I do appreciate the info guys. I can go order my batteries now.

510 TITAN Electronic Cigarette - USB Passthrough - White & Black
It's one of the above I think I got mine from the electronic cigaretet company but their site seems to be screwed at the moment.
Anyway it has a battery box.
I will be annoyed if it does not work without a battery,
Is this the case??

It will not work without a battery, since this will break the electrical connection.
But why will you be annoyed? This battery, a 10440, will last longer than a 510 battery, and it's much cheaper if you ever need a new one.
Really, try it and see. I find it to be just fine, as do many others.
If you really don't want the battery just run a wire from one battery lead to the other and be done with the battery.
Or get a PureSmoker passthrough, which does not have a battery. It's reputed to be fantastic. It's also $40.

I am annoyed because I though it did not need a battery!!
Imagine if you bought a mains addaptor for a radio to save on batteries and then the salesman said "Would you like some batteries for it?"
I tell you something I would knock his block off, I am really ...... off.
I cannot access the electronic cigarettes companies site as AVG tells me the site is infected.
Anyone else get that?
It does come with a battery, so that's a bad analogy.
You're annoyed because you bought something without researching it? I just can't understand why you would think that the battery even matters. What does "USB passthrough" say about not having a battery. Did you ever think that it means that the USB power PASSes THROUGH a battery? And yes, it most certainly DOES mean that you won't need any more 510 batteries. That's still true.
If you're still ......, knock your own block off. Next time, read the freaking page:
"The 510 Titan USB Passthrough is a Titan battery that is attached directly to a USB port through a cable. "

Are you a supplier or what???
There may be a solution here.

Titan 510 Manual Switched passthrough
The Manual switched passthrough is a USB device to power the atomiser.
Eliminating the need for batteries while at the PC or any device with a suitable USB socket.
That is not from the site I got it from but it did say that on it.
They have remmoved the passthrough from the site now too.

Also seems comes up with a virus on my computer but I can get arouund it,

No, I'm not a supplier, nor am I affiliated with one.
I just know to research things I buy.
And I mentioned that solution already, in Post #12. Dang, you just don't read stuff, do you?

It doesn't matter that it has a battery, it requires no extra effort. Its only there so you can pull the 2+ amps that you wouldn't have directly through a computer usb port. The battery is perpetually on charge when plugged in.
Thats not the point, if it does not work off a USB port they should sell it and if they do they should point out it's inadaquacies.
It does work off a USB port, and they did say that it has a battery.
Why do you continue to claim that it's their fault? You screwed up. Admit it, deal with and stop your whining.

Wel you certainlty sound like a supplier, if I had known that I could not vape with out batteries I would not have bought it.
As it happens the unit supplied is faulty, the button to activate it is missing
(I suppose that is my fault too?) so it is going back. Infact I may send the whole lot back.
I should be able to power this from a power source to save on batteries and it seems I can't.
It is telliing that the Chineese site does not supply a passthrough for the 510.
As I said you sound like a supplier talking up an inaquate product.
Furthermore the site is flagged up for viruses when I try and acces it.
I suppose that is also my fault?
Overall it don't look too good does it?
Furthermore I am pretty dammed sure I ordered a black passthrough but they sent me a white one, which as I said is faulty as it is missing a button.
