I am looking to purchase the best 5 volt 510 P/T there is, any suggestions?
Do take note if you want a True 5V experience from your PT you will need a 5v 2amp USB wall plug. Plugging into a Ipod charger or your trusty Laptop/PC usb outlets is only gonna supply you 1amp MAX and it will only produce 3.3-3.5 Volts. So what you would experience is just a consistant regular 510 battery vape. just my 2 cents![]()
I believe my logic is correct on this, but I'm open to comments. A 5V device running with a 2.5 ohm atty draws 5/2.5 = 2 Amps of current. So the port that it is plugged into must be rated to 2 Amps. With my Boge cartos, which are around 3.5 ohms, it would need to be rated to 1.43 Amps. If a port is not rated to the draw of the device, it will either fry...or maybe it limits the voltage somehow. Not sure on this point, but perhaps Madshock can speak further to this. Is there sometimes an internal voltage regulator?
Another issue is the cable. I have fried several USB cables with my Bartleby, which is a 3.7V fast charging PT, essentially. Went through a bunch of cables. Some PTs that USB recharge an internal batt can draw a lot of current. The Hello Sit and Go 510 PTs, which are very nice devices, and are true 3.7V PTs, draw only 300 mA, which was a big plus for me, and these should be computer-safe.
Don't use a computer port with a 5V straight-wire PT...there have been several here that reported mother board frying!![]()
Seeing as this is a Joye 510 forum let's run some of your numbers.Do take note if you want a True 5V experience from your PT you will need a 5v 2amp USB wall plug.

First they won't actually supply a full 2A to the atty. If we use 1900mA that will power a Joye 510 at about 4.2V, maybe. 1A won't even fire a Joye.if you want a True 5V experience from your PT you will need a 5v 2amp USB wall plug.

The Joye unit sold by cignot appears to have a battery pack inline. If that is the case then it is probably NOT a 5V PT. Can anyone clarify?
Battery Inlines are 3.7 volts PTs![]()
Right, so, who is actually selling 5V PTs? People seem to be totally mistaken about what they're actually using.
You are wrong. 1A will not fire a Joye (2.2Ω). Using Ohm's Law we get 2.2V. A Joye atty will not fire at 2.2V which is not even close to the 3.2V you erroneously stated. 3.2V would require at least 1.5A (50% more). To get the 11 watts you mention you'll need about 2.2A to the atty.1A WILL fire a joy. but likely you will be at the 3.2V range.
Idealy speaking, when a person wants to vape at 5 Volts. they are aiming for the wattage somewhere between 10-11 watts. so.. if you can do the formula.
you should get the current needed to fire your atty with 2.5ohm at 5volts with 2A.
And yes, the wallplug WILL NOT supply 2A straigth off. It depends on the Voltage and resistance to get that current value. thats why the ratings you see on plugs is stated 5V 2A MAX= VAriable.
BTW 1900ma Definately can fire and atty.![]()

Unloaded volts mean nothing. 5V@ 50mA will still read as 5V with no load. If you want 5V, while vaping (loaded), with a Joye 510 you need 5V @ 2.3A.... period. To call a PT that doesn't come with a power supply, that can supply the correct current, 5V is disingenuous and misleading.Lot of vendors actually have them. I cant confirm this, but most PT that has the USB cable directly into the PT should be 5v. Unless otherwise stated.
