GG and wall adapter

[imeothanasis]

The GG wall adapter is made for 2 ampere so please dont pull more ampere because you will kill it for sure. Some people have already killed their adapters as Rob told me and we replaced them but we understand what is going on.

If you put an atomizer with a resistance less than 2,6 ohm then you will kill the wall adapter because current that goes through it is more than 2 amperes.

So what atties are safe to use with th AC and which one's are not?

Usually 901 are good because their resistance is about 3-3,5ohm Emonty.
801 are also good because they have about same resistanse.
Some 510 have a very low resistanse so they get burned easily even if you smoke them with 3,7 batteries and they can burn wall adapter too, so it would be good to avoid them with passthough.

The best tactic is to meassure them, but only a few people have a multimeter. A multimeter costs 10 dollars and its useful to check if an atomizer is really dead. It has some other options too like meassuring voltage to batteries etc., so I suggest one to all of us

Thxs Imeo for the info, yes I have a multimeter

Thats very good emonty. With analogs we didnt need those things but we have to do it now. We will all be modders

This is good info imeo.... thanks. I wonder if an inline fuse would help with this problem? One rated at whatever the adapter amps are....

 

[T-Hefner]

Yeah, I got my trusty fluke clamp, fluke multimeter....but I dont expect everyone to have one, since they are pricey and thats what I do for work, HVAC service tech...

Huh. Are the passthroughs outputting 5v, or more?

There's variance in atty resistance, but 510s should be right around 2.5, which at 5v would pull 2A. Kind of surprising the transformers are dying at what it very likely just above 2A at best, unless somehow atties are shorting out? In which case, there really should be a fuse inside the transformer somewhere.. ?

Mine AC is giving 5,45 V, I used it also with 501 atties, no problems here, still working fine.
