510 USB Passthroughs: PS vs. OEM

[Trypwyr]

So I really want a USB passthrough, as I sit a desk for the good majority of the day. Is the PureSmoker PT, at $39.95, worth the cost? From what I can tell, this is about double the cost of a PT made in China... The upside that I can see is the ability to get different adapters so the same PT can be used with multiple attys? Or am I wrong there? Also, I can't tell from their pic... does the PS version have a battery, or is it straight 5v from the port?

Thanks all!

Spend. The. Money.

I've been through countless Chinese passthroughs, and I've broke 'em all. The Puresmoker PT is built like a brick sh-thouse, outputs around 5v (4.6v I believe Steve said?), and does NOT have a battery you have to screw around with. It's the last passthrough you'll ever have to buy, even if you switch brands (as I did, to the 510). Could not recommend it higher.

I didn't have a problem with passthrough for either 901 or 801. They were your standard generics I guess.

But stay away from a 510 passthrough WITH BATTERY. I have two of them, from different places and they are a complete garbage, never work when you want them.

If I was to buy a passtrough for 510, the only kind I'd buy is without a battery. Jon mentioned Puresmoker -- I think that is probably the only place that makes one for 510 that doesn't use battery.

I hate to sound harsh but if you get anything other than the puresmoker passthrough you are an idiot. It is THAT good.

P.S. My Chinese 901 passthrough lasted a week before the automatic switch became almost impossible to light up. Just plain junk.

Well, that pretty much solves it eh? Guess PS will be getting another customer...

As always, thanks everyone!

I don't use a battery in my 510 passthrough.
And offer a 12 month RTB warranty with them.

The puresmoker looks a nice bit of kit though.

Debra......I just recieved a 510 passthrough today from eastmall also.....If by chance I have problems with it within the warrenty period(30days)I would be contacting Ed for a replacement.At $15 compared to $39.99 at PS it seemed like a good choice of passthroughs for me!Working fine as of day one...LOLThe Wiz!
