I want to go with cartomizers and I also want AC charging, being very tech challenged. I don't actually understand how or where a USB charger works. But all the KR808D-1s seem to come with USB chargers, while the Joye 510s seem to all come with AC chargers. So I was thinking I'd get the KR808 PCC, but they don't say if it charges from USB or AC, no help on the site (CigEasy), and pic just not clear enough to tell. Aarrgghh!! Yet another day with no order placed. Can anyone clarify? Thank you so much!

Just wanted to stop in and clarify that the 510 personal charging case (PCC) comes with a mini usb female connection at the bottom of the case. I use my amazon kindle usb to ac wall adapter to charge from the wall. My personal opinion is that you can go ahead and order, I'll explain in detail the info you are seeking.

USB (short for universal serial bus) is a connection used between computers and devices to communicate. For E-Cig applications, these connections are only being used for the ~5 volt power connection that is standard to these. No specific knowledge is needed in the mechanics of these, as no one has yet created a E-cig-Arduino mod yet, although I have contemplated it. All you need is a computer or laptop with a USB Port (the socket the USB cable connects to.) Other then that you don't need to know anything else except it will only charge the device when there is power going to the USB port (the computer is on or the motherboard supports always on USB.)

As you are on this forum, I'm going to go ahead and assume that you have a USB port, but in case you don't, like I mentioned before you can always use a generic "AC to USB adapter". Walk into any Electronics store/walmart and ask for the item I put in quotes if the inept clerk needs more guidance tell him/her you need to charge a usb device from a wall outlet, they should set you up.

Good Luck,

Thank you all - I don't leave my computer on at home due to our bad power in the area and rarely even use that one as am on 40 hrs week at work, so I'll get an adapter and charge from the wall. (And I guess I can charge from the USB here at work!)


don't know what kind of computer you have, but on my laptop unless I shut it all the way down, which I rarely do, the usb ports still have power.

My KR808 came with an ac charger. I purchased from ecsiinc.com.
