I have no idea what model your is and I suspect most members here don't hence no answers. But here is some general passthru info for you. Perhaps using the Google search from the main forum header instead of the forum search for "passthru PR101" and "passthrough PR101" will turn up some info that's buried in all the info that's in this forum.
Some general passthru info for you. They come in 1 or 2 designs. Either with an actual battery or without.
Those without a battery run the atomizer at a higher voltage. They apply the 5V from the USB port directly to the atomizer which means it burns hotter. Many people feel that the higher voltage means the vape tastes better, some don't. The atomizer requires about 1000ma to work so a current limited or a just to spec USB port or power adapter will not provide enough current since the spec specifically limits current draw to 500ma. So you may not be able to use your computer port to run the passthru. You can purchase 1000ma or better power adapters.
The passthru with a battery works differently. It uses the USB power to charge the battery and then applies the battery power to the atomizer. So the atomizer runs at the same voltage it does with a normal battery. The passthru can charge the battery from just the normal 500ma so any USB port or power adapter should work. It won't work correctly at first, you must wait for the battery to charge. Once the battery is charged you can use the passthru without being plugged into a USB port although the battery doesn't last as long as a normal battery.

been using this PT for a few weeks now and it's GREAT!!! Joye 510 High Powered Passthru
I have a Premium PR101 similar to the KR808 D
I am wondering what is the best Pass through for me to get? and Can you not use these if you buy your own juice and fill the Cartomizers?
I am such a noob.. sorry in advance.. for being so no nothing.. I am trying..
My pass-thru is from V4L, based on the kr808. These are used instead of a battery. It doesn't matter if you fill the cartos or buy them prefilled. I don't know what supplier you bought yours from, but your supplier probably has a subforum on the last part of this ECF forum as well; try posting your supplier brand specific questions there, as they know their product line better, I would say. Welcome to vaping

Anyway thanks to all of you for the replies. took me a while to get back here..
But in the mean time I just today have seen things called a CHUCK...
All I know is my batteries go out way to quick.. takes me three batteries every day so I constanly have to be charging one.... Do you all have any experiance in the chuck I am talking about??I am at the pc all day that is why I was thinking about the pass through but now that I am seeing this maybe that would be a better bet.. but I just found them and started to try to find more info on them.. So much to learn so much to want to try.. so much money... I WANT I WANT I WANT... LOL story of my life..
..So if you all have any quick thoughts for me on this I would appreciate it..
what do you plug this into? I am wanting to plug it into a power strip as opposed to the usb or a usb hub...
Thanks
You can get a passthru for less than $25. Only caveat is the high power requirement so you may need to also get a power adapter. I'd argue its still simpler than using any battery based device if you're in front of a computer all day long. You'll never have to worry about charging batteries.
Having said that a big battery based PV is nice for plenty of other reasons so you may want to get both a passthru and the Chuck (or any other mod).

Correct I want one of everything please.. LOL
But I need to know what I need to go by to make it (USB Passtrough) on the powerstrip.
this is what I ordered
Vapor Nine - USB Passthrough (vape without your battery!)
But am trying to figure out what I need to use it not on my PC..
thanks....
Bye the way my E cig is a PR110 not a PR101.. eeessshhh

good eye my man....i have been wishing for one of those for a while.
but i will settle for any 5v 2 amp source for my passthru
I love my usb passthrough. I also have the one from V4L based on the KD808. Mine is a manual battery with the button and it works GREAT! I have only been vaping since May '10. This is my 1st post. Looking forward to learning more about e-cigarettes and meeting members.
The Bat1, I have the same question as you. I still can't find an answer, lol. I want to use my powerstrip not my computer for the passthrough (I still haven't ordered one as I am too confused).
If you read this, please let me know how your situation is going. If anyone has an answer for a person (me) that does not understand the basic language of electricity and such please feel free to comment. LOL

most passthru's are USB powered, and will not plug directly into a powerstrip. if you want to use a passthru on a powerstrip you will need an AC converter/transformer to USB, to plug the passthru into.
for instance there are several powered USB hubs that will provide enough power to heat up a passthru, and plain transformers at a few merchants. some passthru's come with them too like from vaprlife.com, hope that helps a little

My powerstrip has a USB port on it for power. Is there a chance of damaging the passthrough by using it?
it is possible to damage one, but i am speaking of my 808 VK PT, too much can damage it.
USA built passthru are much less susceptible to too much power.
at this point you need to check the rating of the strip to see if it is rated at 5V 2amps max for the USB output but it also needs to be MORE than 1.5amps minimum. there should be a label on the strip that will tell you this info.
1amp will NOT do.
