Direct 5v wall charger?

[thoqub]

Ive been thinking about this for a while and, as far as I can figure, it would be much easier to make this because all you would need is a housing for the atomizer and a switch. Pretty simplistic idea and IDK if this counts as a batt mod but feel free to move it. I already have a wall charger that says 5v----0.7a. Has anyone tried this? Would it work?

Just to add to the idea for you. Check out the TruPower UCS outlet.
An easy to install replacement outlet with two USB power ports built in...

Just in case you do run direct, you don't have to sacrifice a 110 outlet...

So let's see, lamp, laptop power supply, USB pass-through, and my iPhone. Sounds like my bedside outlet will be getting changed out for one of these.

WOW. never thought of that! but I wanted the 5v POWER. i dont know much about usb could you enlighten me? Plus I would have to buy a passthrough and, lets face it, I am broke!

my 5 volts PT is like that , I don't use my computer USB ports, that's something very easy to build and works great just that I only do 5 volts when I can't stop the craving.once every month

In the USB specifications it states that it is to be able to supply 5V +- .25V so that part is fine.
I am assuming that as long as it has a USB plug on one end (like most pass throughs that I have seen) it should be within the specs of any USB power port.

Now, I am no expert with pass-throughs. There are probably many people around here that can give better information about them. However, the ones I have used have a smaller capacity battery in-line. I am assuming that is to give the amperage necessary to get the atomizer fired up. Then when you aren't using it (in between drags) it recharges the battery. Again, I may be wrong, but that is how I see it.

Please, someone correct me if I am mistaken...

0.7 amp is enough for that, do you have a 510 PT right?

 

[thoqub]

ok... were getting a little off topic here. im talking about MAKING a 5v ac passthrough. If thats what you are talking about, but Im confused.

 

[Liscab]

you can use ac to feed an atty, but any device with an usb out put should be dc.IMO.MY very first tes were using an ac power supplier

Here is the power supply and adapter I use for an AC to PT

Power supply 4.5vdc 1600ma (Can only get in stores):
4.5V/1600mA AC-to-DC Power Adapter - RadioShack.com

Adaptaplug™ for USB A Adapter:
Enercell™ Adaptaplug™ for USB A - RadioShack.com

I think 4.5vdc is the sweet spot for 901's, 801's, and 510 personally. This is just a sugestion as an alternative. I have stopped using 5vdc from the computer and AC adapters as anything below 1A in my opinion does not have the wattage to push a good vape. But they that is just me. This is just information, use it or don't up to you.

BTW I found 5 of these 4.5vdc adapters at my local radio shack for 4.00 a piece and bought em all.

Hope this helps,
Dan

oooh-i just got one of those 4.5 adapters (radio shack), they only had one left-and I like it so much better than the 5v one I had. (801 user)

That's a nice PS but for a Joye 510 atty it's a little light at 1.6A. You'll be at about 3.7V and 5.9W. For a few dollars more this will run a Joye atty at about 4.6V (9.2W).

You really need one rated at at least 2A if you're gonna run a 510 at 5V.

Just basic ohm's law. Take the voltage and divide it by the resistance of the atty and you have the current it will draw.

I'd recommend going over by at least 500mA, especially if you're getting one that's more compact. Heating coils really do a number on these things.

My 2 Joye 510 atties are 2.2 and 2.3ohms. Using "Just basic ohm's law", E (voltage) = I x R:

2A @ 2.2 = 4.4V

2A @ 2.3 = 4.6V
