By the person earlier in this thread asking if this idea would work for a Provape PT, I learned that there are VV PTs larger than the 1200mah SLB Mega. The 1200mah was the only suggestion I got in a thread I made asking what the largest mAh VV PT is and had a few sort of OT posts after it didn't say anything larger existed. So, that kind of solves everything. I can get a VV PT MOD with a 3000mAh 18650 and that will usually be more than enough when not passthrough'ing to my wall/my car (or I'd need to carry those adapters too). I knew I could just get a dual 18650/26500 box MOD too, but the portable USB PSU's so cheap and I know something will probably come out right after I buy a big pricey MOD that I wish I waited for. Plus, I wanna figure this out.
The Power Baby (name of MOD in link, not: The power, baby):
"Due to protection circuit in this device, it will not work with low resistance atomizers rated under 1.8ohms or dual coil cartomizers."
Maybe it could run dual 1ohm coils though?
Power Daddy:
"One of the USB outs is 500mAh for e-cigs and cell phones and the other USB out has a full 1 AMP rating to charge iPads and tablets."
The Baby has a 510 port but the Daddy doesn't. The Baby doesn't say what amps come out of the 510 but says it's 5V, so any tank attached is 5 volts unless the VV adapter's added. Besides the 510 connector, the Baby has a 1amp USB output, but it doesn't say to not use a PT that has it's own battery with it, which is supprising they don't point out because the protection circuit it notes having might conflict with the protection of a PT battery. I think most people would think they can just plug a PT that already has a battery (protected) to the 1amp output. Maybe I'll email them since the Baby's made for vaping but the Daddy just looks like the eBay things I linked. That would answer if a protected portable USB PSU would work with a protected PT, unless only the 510 port is protected and not the 1amp port, which would mean a PT with it's own battery would work with the 1amp port , but that's highly unlikely since the 1amp port's 'for charging tablets and electronics'.
You might say just get the 5,000mAh power baby for $60 (no extra cost for charger and it's a VV PT) and use the 510 connection and case closed, but it's likely that the only VV it can use is the small adpater it includes which jumps in incraments too large for fine tuning volts. Hopefully they make a better VV coupling soon. The power Daddy's $30 for 5,000mAhs, but likely has the same workings as the 12,000mAh PSU I linked in the OP for $8.
The Daddy has a 500mAh (.5amp) output for e-cigs and says the 1amp USB is not for e cigs.
This makes me think that the Daddy's unprotected and supposed to be used with PTs that also have their own battery, but I sort of doubt that it's unprotected. PTs without their own battery need 2amp, which is probably what the 510 connection on the Baby puts out. The Baby says it has protection and can also have the VV adapter put on it, so I assume that the $15 battery-less VV ego PT will work with the protected ebay batteries I linked in my OP because the Baby's protected, so I guess that's solved.
The Daddy has a 500mAh (.5amp) output for e-cigs and says the 1amp USB is for ipads and tablets.
This makes me think that the Daddy's unprotected and supposed to be used with PTs that also have their own battery (because it instructs to use the .5amp for PT), but I sort of doubt it's unprotected. Or it means that only the .5amp output of the Daddy is unprotected and the 1amp 'for charging ipads and tablets' is protected, which I doubt.
The Daddy says to use the .5amp output with e-cigs and not the higher 1amp, but doesn't it make more sense to have more amps running into the e-cig so that it doesn't overdraw power (like how the Baby says don't use dual coil cartos with it), but it doesn't matter because the power drawn is taken from the battery of the PT e-cig plugged into it. Which makes me think that either the Daddy's unprotected or that PTs that have their own protected battery will work with portable USB PSU eventhough the link in my OP to another forum's thread about this shows that the manufacturer of the USB PSU in that thread says to not use protected devices with the already-protected USB PSU or it will "burn the powerbox".
The Cylapex VV-PCCP has an eGO to USB adapter I don't think most have seen before. It says that either it's 1amp or 2amp ports can power phones and/or ipads etc and both can power the e-cig, which I assume means only the provided eGo to USB adapter with a tank screwed on it. It says "The USB-510/eGo adapter is specially designed by our engineers, can only be used on our VV-PCCP power body and work well, if put on other normal power bank USB port, the adapter would keep working without stop, and this would destroy any of your atomizer/clearomizer easily." So why would their USBs be different and not burn out atomozers?
All of the above devices give only vague instructions which most people would assume also refers to a PT with it's own battery. Lawsuit? Recall?
