510 passthrough questions

[silkakc]

Hello,

Will these 2 items work with a standard 510 atomizer? The battery is attached so I wouldn't use my real batteries?

2 amp AC to USB Adapter, ideal for Passthroughs
MadVapes 5 Volt 510 Manual USB Passthrough

And what does it mean when it says the wall charger will not work with V4L passthroughs? Their passthrough is NOT a V4L one?

Thank you,
Lori

Yes, the PT should work with any 510 or adapter if you wish another connection.

Your wall charger question is appropriate - the data on the website is confusing - especially since at least one of the reviewers specifically says it works great with their passthrough

Stay away. Don't buy any of this crap from mad vapes. Mine was doa. Bad supplier.

The important info is "2 amp AC to USB Adapter"
Some plug-ins and PC USB ports just don't have enough power, you want at least 2 amp.

Another option is a USB hub from the local computer store, just be sure it's 2 amp.
I bought one because my PCs kept trying to install software drivers for my PV,
and I can just plug in anywhere there's an A/C outlet.

Pass throughs are useless if I can't run it off my notebook. None of that information was made clear to me at the time of purchase, and it did not come with any documents or instructions. No users manual. I won't buy from that supplier again.

Everything I bought from Vapor Kings came with documentation- a user manual. Not so with Mad Vapes.

I got it - sorry you had a bad experience -

I know how frustrating these things can be - I bought a 750 mAh PV from another supplier - it died prematurely but not within their waranty period of seven days

I don't know anything about MadVapes, but I bought my passthrough (looks identical) from LiteCigUSA, and it was the best thing I've done to deal with the frustrations of 510 battery life. I use a powered USB hub I had lying around, but the AC adapter you linked to would be fine. (Note that the adapter LiteCigUSA sells does not work with their passthrough, and they state that clearly in its description.)

LiteCigUSA advises that a 1 amp output is required. I've seen recommendations of 1.5 and 2 amps.

If you want the 5 volt passthrough you'll need a high amp power source. If you can live with 3.7 volts. get one with an inline battery. They don't require the high amps.

Mine came with an in line battery, which is detachable. I have not been able to get this battery to fully charge. It came with no manual or set of instructions. I'm not shopping at Mad Vapes again and I recommend that you buy your pass through from some other supplier.

To the OP:

1) the 2 links you have ... those work together just fine.
2) they work with a standard 510 atty (close to 3.0 ohms)

V4L is Vapor 4 Life - a particular model/vendor. Like I said in #1, that combo is fine. Now, some (including myself) have had issues with that particular passthrough. I had a button issue after about a month. Others have had no issues. Meh.

It is a direct 5 volt model, and needs the 2 amp power supply, and has no battery nor does it need one. The other type of PT is a 3.x volt battery driven model. The battery driven 3.x volt models need less power, and can be easily used by computer users (I don't normally recommend using a computer for any PT, but that's me) due to the lower drain.

To the others.... MV is one of the more well respected suppliers out there. It is frequented by modders and others, most of whom know what they are doing. Of course, they only resell this stuff. If you have questions, just ask them in the MV forum. Hoogie is a great guy and helps the community out quite a bit.

All this echos posts 4, 8 and 9

It was poorly packaged. It was cramed in a small box with about a hundred bucks of e-liquids. There was no user manual, no information on the website. I'm not happy with this purchase and Hoogie will not recieve any future orders from me.
