Charging Ego with USB socket adapter?

[Hanz Ketchup]

I recently picked up an Ego battery for cheap from my friend who was replacing it for a Vamo (he doesn't remember what kind it is so :\). It works fine, battery life is good enough for how often I vape - but I have a bit of a problem charging it. Due to the way I built my computer, I have to use both of my USB ports, one for my external hard drive and one for my wi-fi receiver. I can still unplug one of those things and charge it, but it's not ideal. So I had an idea. I have an HTC One, which charges using this little adapter that plugs into a wall socket, which you then plug your USB charging cable in. Could I replace the phone cable with my Ego's and have everything charge fine?

More often than not, a decent wall charger designed for usb devices will work with an eGo charger.

Best to look at the sticker on it that gives the information about power/output etc.

I charge some of my batteries using usb-mains adapters. They are 500mAh output. I bought a 1A output adapter for i-devices, I don't use that one....

I do this all the time with my HTC charger and Ego batteries - for months and months now - so I'd say everything is fine.

If I remember correctly the Ego-C Passthrough Upgrade is meant to charge with a five volt output from the source. Whether that's your computer or a wall adapter, it's fine either way. As long as the source is x volts and I'm pretty sure its five.


Happy Vaping Everyone!

Thank you for the replies! I will try it out and report back.

Yep works fine - fyi, 99.9% of all usb charging adapters charge at output4.2v-5v which is what your ego needs.
