? about passthrough.

[medman1234]

I use a passthrough that has no battery,it is the same size as a oem 510 batt.Is this 5v?
I bought some LR attys to go with some high voltage juice from Xhaler and then read not to use them with a pt with no battery.Will this fry my pc?I actually have my PT plugged into my CradlePoint MBR1000 router.I can't find the specs on the usb output from the router,but I can tell it is more than the pc.I also have a USB Y adaptor so you can plug it into 2 usb ports at the same time,will this double the amps?

If there is no inline battery on the PT, then it's a 5V. However, what you read is correct. LR attys should never be used with a PT because they aren't designed to handle the load produced. Will it hurt to use it on your computer? Maybe and maybe not. I've connected my 5V to a USB port, but found that it works better when it's connected to a wall wart. That's what I would advise you to do, just to be on the safe side.

It sounds like a 5 volt. I assume that's the only thing you use to vape, otherwise, a noticble difference between the battery and the passthrough could confirm what you have. I don't know what your router's power supply is rated for, but 2 amps is recommended for a 5 volt passthrough with standard resistance attys. LR atties would need much more than that. It also seems likely that you're setup isn't really giving you 5 volts if you feel the need for LR. If your current power supply can't keep up with a standard atty you should consider getting a 2 amp wall plug with usb connection. I don't think using LR on your current setup would be a very good idea. To be honest, I don't think it would be a good idea even with a wall plug. I haven't heard of anyone vaping LR at 5 volts.

I've been posting this a lot lately, but it's relevant and will help you out here:

What Are These LR and HV Atomizers

Dang WomanOfHeart, could you please type a little slower. I always go to answer a thread without an answer and when I post, you've beaten me to it. At least make your answers a little less informative so I serve some usefullness

I am using a pass through with all my LR. The voltage that I measured was 4.4 V. Recharging the batteries using my USB takes about 10 hours, so I changed to wall plug. Perhaps my PC is different than yours. The pass through is working wonderfully and saves my battery's life. But I do make sure I make shorter drags and not to cause over heating. I use two, sometimes three, pass through and use them alternately. This will give some time for the atty to cool down before it is rotated again. I also timed my vaping so as to prevent overheating on any of the atty. They do last long.

I can't help it! I'm in front of a computer from the time I wake until I go to bed most of the time (tech support and gamer girl...go figure!)

I'll tell you what. I'll make more typos so I have to edit a couple of times...but just for you.

Have you ever known her to be slow?

Out of curiosity, how many ohms is your atty rated at? Also, is the 4.4 volts loaded or unloaded?

LOL, well now I feel guilty and useless. But thank you.

4.4 v unloaded. As for the ohms, it is not rated. There is something wrong with my meter. Ohms is measured at 0 which is impossible. I will try to find my old measuring device.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around this. At first thought, using LR on a passthrough seems like a bad idea. A 1.5 ohm atty at 5 volts would give about 16.5 watts, 2 ohm about 12.5. Of course passthroughs don't really give 5 volts. At 4.4 volts, a 1.5 ohm atty is just shy of 13 watts. That's still pretty hot. A 2 ohm atty would make more sense, being just under 10, within the most commonly accepted 8-10 watt sweet spot. If your unloaded is 4.4 volts though, and there's a pretty good voltage drop, say to 3.9 or 4 volts, you're not really all that high, even with a 1.5 ohm atty. I'd be worried about the load you're putting on the power supply, but the vape would probably be pretty nice.
