I'm planning on building a simple Altoid tin box mod, which consists of a single 18650 connected to a 510 connector and a momentary push button. I'm considering incorporating a micro-usb passthrough feature to this mod as well. What is the best way that I would go about this? I've seen the micro-usb chips offered with the dna 30 Evolv chips, but I do not want to build a DNA30/20 mod, I just want it to have a passthrough feature.

This is the style that I like to use. Has double connection on the output, works as a pass-through. Just remember it is limited, don't try to operate it as a pass through for very long, you'll blow it since they are only .5 to 1 amp.

Many mod setups are not true passthroughs; they are simply able to be used while recharging. If this works for you, then any charging chip will work. I have done this on four DIY mods and the convenience is a big plus. It never actually bypasses the batteries for vaping, however.
This is easy to add to an Altoids box.
Yea, I didn't mean it was pass-through. Meant you operate it like a pass-through for a short time.
Thanks for the link for the charger board, never know what you need til you look around

This is what you want to do and it is basically how many bought devices work, if it was an true passthrough you would need a much better power supply, this uses some of the power from the wall but makes up for shortages by tapping the battery.
