GotVapes eGO Variable Pass Through 510 - 3.2/3.7/4.2

[Joanr]

Has anyone tried this yet? I keep going to the site almost adding it to the cart, but I usually won't buy a thing without reading some reviews. The price is right, and it would be a good way to see if higher voltage is something I would like, but the key attraction would be, does the new Ego Mega DCC fire up without fiddling with the connection pin? I've got 20 of these cartos here and they are really awsome on my ego 900 but would like to try it at different volts. Not wild about having to be plugged in, but for 25 bucks it's something to consider.

Thanks for heads up, that was a close call, got the last one, or so said the website. Worth a try, we'll get back here and review after we try them out.

again your gaurenteed against doa so no worries, plug it in the blue light flashes, thats 3.2, press button to fire, press button 4 times to change to 3.7 which turns pink, press button to fire or 4 more times to go to 4.2 volts and thats a red led.

Thanks for the info. I'm curious when the description says it will only work when plugged in. I was wondering if that just meant the VV capabilities or the unit as a whole? Seeing how the power cord looks hardwired into the unit, that might explain it. ??

It has no battery of its own, so it can only be used when plugged into USB.

I also have one enroute, and of course some time shortly after that, I'll have a full review posted here and on my site

Well that explains it, thanks! So it will work plugged into any USB, even my PS3 USB port? Which is always right in front of my face these days thanks to Netflix and Black Ops.

 

[StotheK]

I believe it requires a decent amount of USB power, 5 volt and 2 amps, which not all USB ports do. I'm not sure what the PS3 outputs.

Ok, got my ego VV tonight but no joy. The batt connection is so far down that it will not fire off any of my 510 attys or cartos etc., is there a way to fix this? I measured with Fluke and it's out putting the correct voltages but the center pin/connecter is like an eight of an inch lower than it should be for 510. What to do?

if its pushed in, you can use a pin to raise it then it will be fine, use a pin or small tool to go on the side of the pin and raise it slightly on 2 sides so it lifts, then you shoul dbe good to go, i told the factory to keep an eye out for the pin.

That worked, thanks Chris. Didn't want to void the warrenty on this with tweaking it too much. HAHA hubby wanted to take it all apart...no way. Also you may tell the factory that the USB cap keeps sliding on and off travelling down the cord when you unplug it from a port. But, it's a handy little device and fires up my EMDCC just fine. I like it so far.

I just got mine today (the mail is SLOOOOOOW around here). Only used it a few minutes so far, but no build issues on mine. The cord cap is solidly affixed, the pin is in the right position. Also, I intentionally plugged this into a low power USB port and it seems to work just fine.

I'll play with it some more over the weekend and might have the full "Impressions" treatment published on Monday

The center post keeps slipping down on mine, guess I got a funky one but they are going to exchange it for me. 3.2 is not going to be used much but 4.2 provides a nice warm vape with the mega dccs. Every once in awhile the led will start flashing at me while depressed. I know that's not battery dead since it doesn't have a battery, so what would that mean?

 

[harmonic]

i think the ohms change a little and sometime it trips the protection circuit my epower does the same thing now and then

 

[Joanr]

Makes sense, it would have a protection circuit. Just glad it doesn't dectect the Dccs as a short like a few devices will.

I'm loving mine. I wish the cord was longer but thanks to eBay, my problem will be remedied. I ordered 2 x 3ft extensions so I don't have to sit slouched in the chair.

I've been using mine for 5 days and so far so good....lovin' them.

 

[Joanr]

I'm going to order a true 2 Amp car adapter for mine also. The one I have is not giving it enough amps. I like the extension idea, I'm going to order one too, slouching over the laptop too much.

What color it flashes? Blue? And then resets back to the lowest setting right?
