Brand new Vapor King accident with passthrough

[ElectraGlide]

Okay, so I brought the thing to work today and hooked it up to my computer to sneak a few puffs here and there. I laid it down on top of my computer tower which sits under my desk and went to lunch. When I came back from lunch, I noticed my 555 cartomizer was melted at the top with the hole completely fused to the washer underneath. Somehow, the button must have activated thus running continuously for a loooooooong time. 8-o

I tossed that cart, put on a fresh one and everything seemed good. My question is, have I damaged the passthrough irreparably even though it seems like it works just fine? I'm pretty sure these things are not designed to have current running through them for that long, correct?

Thanks in advance

Naw, your passthru should still be in perfect working order.

Just remember, as it says on the passthru, UNPLUG when not in use, or at the very least, unscrew the carto.

Thank you - I concur, it seems like it was not affected one bit. Whew!

I did that the other day by accident. I was sitting my .... here, glued to ECF, as usual, when I started thinking, 'hmmm, my backs feeling a tad warm..wait a second, gotta respond to this post though'. Then I realized I'd was leaning back against my V4L passthrough! It was REAL toasty! But it seems to be working ok. But now I don't have anymore blank cartos for my A.C.

Definitely unplug your passthrough when it's out of your attention. I respect mine more than a lit cigarette. (Batteries too, I remove the cartos and keep the batteries in their case when their out my attention.)
