Where I usually am
just wondering if anyone has used the 3.6 volt passthrough ?
also would like to know if you have used other passthroughs ( 5v or 3.6 ) and can compare them.
I think I want a 3.6 that way it is closer to the 808 batts as far as temp and hit.

1 last thing , have you used it on the Volt 1.5 wall adapter , or other 2.0 wall adapter or Powered USB Hub , I would really like imputs on that too.
Hello:) The Volt USB I got from SI Months ago is 3.6 volt and works great with SI cartos. I use it every day! I'll give you warning, I used an adapter on a 5volt battery and tried a Volt carto and :shock: Nasty! I'll never do that again... My point is, is that the SI products are built for each other. I gave up mixing diff brands with others;)

I haven't used the USB charging hub:blink: from the looks of it with the amount of power it puts out, I'd say it would be handy to have,....specially if the power goes out:)

I have one of the older SI auto PTs. It works great and I use it with a powered usb hub, as I don't yet have the 1.5amp wall adaptor.

It's nice if you're going to be sitting in one place or driving and have the car adaptor. I don't use mine that often as I prefer the mobility I have with the regular Volt batts. My opinion is that it's a nice accessory to have in addition to at least three of the regular batteries. That would give the most options.

I only have the 2 batteries that came with my V2 starter kit , but since I am home all day , I think I would Use a PT more. The batts would be nice outside the home , but not thrilled with having one on the charger while using the other.
The more I think about it today , maybe my Marb. Menthol Lights soot me better. Going to have to think some more about this.

In your case a PT could probably work out well. I don't quite understand the part about waiting for a batt to charge while you vape another. All batts have to be recharged and once you plug them in no more effort is required until you unplug them.

Your Marb. Menthol Lights might be easier, but don't you think your health is worth the little extra time and work involved with vaping? Plus, if you keep your hardware and liquids to a reasonable as-needed amount, you will save money.

guess I am just having a bad couple of days. I am going to "try" and stay off the forum for a few days, ( I know that will make a few people happy ) and just way out the options.
Thanks to those that posted with good quality info and sorry to all for my stooping to the low level of others on some other threads.

It's always a good idea to sometimes just stop and think things out so you can put everything into the proper perspective. In the end the choices we make are ours to live with, so I wish you luck in making good ones.

It'll get better.. I was paranoid about only have 2 batteries.. much easier with a passthu and just using batteries as needed lol.. once the silver batteries get stocked up I'm getting a couple more but that's mainly to go with the silver cartos lol.

Dang it, all this talk about the PT benefits is causing me to consider a purchase. grrrrrr
Do you often feel like you're being followed??? :)
You heard about the new tech SI's coming out with, right? It's like a combo batt-passthrough thing, but not quite like the Trifecta...

I wouldn't worry too much.. forgive and forget.. people have their bad and their good days. I know I certainly do.. people at my work have seen that.. sometimes daily.. hehe.

LOL my very own stalker :lol:

That's right, I forgot about the VoltTrifectaThatIsn'tReallyATrifecta. (wink wink nudge nudge) Always hated that name anyhow :p
Maybe it will be available in time for the St. Patricks Day Sale :)
