Do I have to Charge my USB Passthru??

[jessiesuniverse]

I just got my 510 kit from Cignot...I got the one with a passthru, YES it has a battery...Do I need to charge it???

I know this has probably been asked a bigillion times-sorry

No, it just draws its current from the USB port - which i believe is 5 volts.

Actually, I do believe you have to charge it a bit (but I believe they are pre-charged from the get go). The one I got with my kit (from Cignot) did have a battery that acts like a power buffer that is always charging as you use it.

That said: I could not wait and only let mine charge for like 20 minutes before using it. That was enough and all was well. So I say, go for it, but if it seems a bit weak or something just give it some time with minimal vaping until it works better.

Edit: An after thought. I unplug mine from my PC any time my PC is not actually on and charging. I figure it will probably sort of back-draw power and lose charge if I don't. Anyone know if that is accurate or just paranoid?

If it is giving you weak vapor then yes, it may need to charge a bit before it gets to full strength. Sometimes the battery comes with enough charge to work just fine, and other times you will need to let it charge up for a few hours before it will work optimally.

Ok....I used my 510 pass thru...YAY!!! So much better than my Blu that I started with a couple weeks ago!!!!

It is a bit bigger/thicker than my Blu so it feels weird to me But I'll get over it!!
It puts out so much more Vapor than a BLU ...OMG!!!

Yes Very happy with my new 510

My hubby has decided to switch to e cigs as well...I'm glad..but now I have to share ....sigh

Most batteries come with some form of a charge on them, li-ion batteries do not have a memory feature so it is safe to use them so long as they do have a charge. With the passthrough plugged in it is charging and the passthrough opperates on the battery, not the straight voltage from the USB port. And the battery is charged in turn from the usb port.

The passthroughs that do not have a battery are mostly 5 volt while the ones that have a battery box are 3.7 volt.

Sorry to hear about the sharing, I have done that before and it is very nice of you to let it happen

Hope that gives you a bit of information.

Nonsense! It just gives you an excuse to upgrade to an ego/Tornado!

If you have the funds Id recommend NOT using your PC but getting a wall adapter - much safer for your PC
Madvapes sell them - I think cignot do as well but the madvapes ones can take a higher charge so you can use them with a 5v PT.
Also be careful not to run over your PT cables with your chair - I have killed at least 2 PTs doing that /sigh.
