I know there are some thread out there already, but I'm wondering if my situation is a little different. I purchased a USB passthrough from madvapes and then realized that my USB ports weren't putting out the needed amps...

madvapes requires ~1.5A.
USB 2.0 puts out ~0.5A.


Has anyone made any USB passthroughs for scenarios like mine or is it not ideal?

You need a good 2 amp USB/AC adapter.
I just bought one mail order from Walmart to power my 5v manual passthrough from MadVapes.
Works great, been using it for about a week.
Walmart is out of stock right now but I found the same unit on Amazon for about the same price.
Amazon.com: Iq Pst15u Power Dual Usb Charger Power Adapter 5volt Usb Port: Electronics
Has two USB ports - Price $9.62.

MadVapes has a single USB/AC adapter which I also own.
2 amp AC to USB Adapter, ideal for Passthroughs
Its on sale now for $6.99.
It works fine but I like the Amazon unit, much better quality
