I will burn mine at 1 amp? Help!8-o8-o8-o
Hefner is right sweety, its life is very short
stormy,
The wire on your adapter will melt and maybe cause fire...your overloading it because of what atty draws amp wise..I think Imeo said the atty can draw 1.7amps at max...and the adapter your using is only good for 1 amp...It may not happen to you, but its a risk your either gonna live with or not.

I cant come there friend I have to go to entertainment park with my daughters
Why not come to New York and meet many of your fans.
Then you can tour the US.
Sound good?
its more than good Big. Do you think that I dont want to travel to my friends and around the world? Its my dream but I am not alone here. I have a wife that dont go on plane. She is afraid.
I am getting average of 1.5 amps from a standard 901 atty and 808 cartomizer.
510 atomizers are slightly higher and I have one here that pulled 2.6 amps as it began to glow red.
I'm testing this using one of my 5V 2A car cigarette lighter to USB adapters.
I'll do some more tests later.

Just because I didn't see it in thread anywhere... (If I'm off on the atty resistance, someone pls correct me)
average 901 atty resistance: ~4Ohms
average 801 resistance: ~3.2Ohms
average 510 resistance: ~2.5 Ohms
Current (Amperage) = Energy (Voltage) / Resistance (Ohms)
Given a 5v power supply:
901: 5v/4 = 1.25 Amps = 1250mA
801: 5v/3.2 = ~1.56 Amps = 1560mA
510: 5v/2.5 = 2Amps = 2000mA
At 6v (which is really usually higher, fresh at ~7.2vDC):
901: 6v/4 = 1.5 Amps
801: 6v/3.2 = 1.87 Amps
510: 6v/2.5 = 2.4 Amps
+ or - 10% or sol in tolerance is reasonable on these atties, meaning a 901 atty may really be between 3.6-4.4Ohms, etc, so it's fairly easy to go over 2Amps, especially with 510s, and most 1Amp power supplies really are marginal even on the 901 atties at 5v. Note that most USB hubs only output .5A/500mA per device, or sometimes 1A for an entire hub..
Note: I'm unsure if resistance goes up or down as the atties warm up. I would expect they probably go down, but... ? (which would mean the current goes up)

it is my understanding that nichrome increases resistance as it heats up.

@Rob - thanks, I couldn't remember which way it went, and my DVM is buried somewhere.
The two formulars to remember (@vapn), that let you get others that are useful for e-cigs, etc:
E(volts) = I (current, *not* in amp-hours, but momentary in circuit draw) * R(esistance)
P(ower/watts) = I * E
I usually remember them as 'EAR' (ok, EIR), in the traditional Ohms law 'circle' with E on top, and well, just PIE.

The unloaded voltage on the pass thru I got is 5.5v
The unloaded voltage on the pass thru I made is 3.2, 5.2, 6.2, 6.7, 7.2, AND 7.7v
I have it hooked up now with the i6 at 6.5v and it is hitting very very nice...... couldn't be happier....
