6 Voltage Vaping with 510...

[vapomike]

Is there anyway to do this on the cheap side like say $50? I think it is ridiculous I can get a kit that has 2 batteries included for $35-45 yet I can't get what essentially is battery holder with an e-cig connector/adapter depending on the set up. Then some of these setups are on back order or just simply have a long waiting list. I mean for $75+ for one of these setups I'm sorry but I expect batteries included and quick shipping at the prices they are expecting. I could see paying the $75+ if it included the batteries and an atomizer. Though I just can't justify paying that for what amounts to a shiny battery holder with a connector/adapter, no matter how pretty it is. Also what is a usb pass through considered vaping at? I'm sorry for sounding like a cheap <insert expletive term here>, but it irks me.

Actually, if you can deal with being wired, the PS passthrough might just solve your problems and give you 5 volts at least if you plug it into the wall or a battery pack (but then you're talking more money with something like a Kensington).

 

[vapomike]

Well I found the manual pass through on litecig for 17.95 shipped and already have usb power adapter. Is this what your talking about bears?

 

[bearscreek]

No, not if it has an inline battery (a little black box). I think your best bet is probably the $40 PureSmoker passthrough. The one with the battery on it runs at the normal 3.7 v and actually isn't as good as a normal 510 battery to me and some other people (my opinion).

Well I can deal with that. I mean that is only 40 bucks and I only wanted it for at home anyways. Thanks for turning me onto that. Arrgh 2-3 week waiting period.

Yeah, I was a cheapo and got the $20 passthrough from elsewhere, and I'm not even using it. The only thing about the $40 one is that the cord is very thick and might be a bother, but it will probably last forever and take some abuse. It looks like it anyway. A few people have taken these cheap ones and cut the battery out and rewired them. That's another possibility. I'll probably do that simply because I'm not even using it the normal way. I'm not saying for sure that it would be perfect every time someone does it, but... The $40 would probably last longer, though. The wires on the cheap one are SO, SO thin. This is all just my opinion and my understanding of things, though.

 

[bearscreek]

To be honest with you, if they have those in stock, which I guess it looks like they do, it probably wouldn't be 2-3 weeks, even though it says that. Remember that you may not want to use that on your computer's USB and you need something that cranks out enough power to run it.

 

[vapomike]

Yeah I got a 2 amp ac to usb adapter that should pull it easily.

I tried ordering a PS Passthrough today and they're completely out of stock. I can't even place a pre-order.

It should just manage it. 2 amp is pretty much as low as you can go for a 510 at 5v.

 

[bearscreek]

Tecratk, that sucks.

Nuck, it doesn't really have to be that high, does it? If that's the case, my Kensington power pack wouldn't even work, although it works fine on another model of e-cig.

Guys
let me show you what I think is unbeatable on the front line of vaping.

1. A prodigy pass through allows any voltage to flow freely through it.
In theory and in practice this means you can vape at any voltage you like.

2. A kensington power pack. This device will output 5 volts, and lasts a very heavy vaper 2 full days minimum. $49

3. A variable voltage powerpack for $79. Tekkeon MP3300.
This is a beast. It allows you to vape at 3~14 volts. I do not recommend over 7.5 volts.
This variable powerpack can be used to charge a multitude of things, and the battery lasts for a week without a charge.

5. Be112 801 atomizers work really well with this pass through, or ng with a 510 at 5~6 volts is amazing also. I do not use 901 so i cant comment.
