I feel bad for the OP, and I keep trying to come up with a reasonable response, but I can't. I can't think of any situation where I would need this. Why not just have several batteries and rotate them out? If you must use a passthrough, why not get a power strip with USB outlets?

On a side note, it did get thread of the year, though - or at least of the day.
It reminded me of having a useless idea and then creating a need for it.

Sometimes that works and can make you a millionaire. Look at pet rocks. :blink:

What if someone made a vaping device that used a huge powerpack and could be easily disguised as an oxygen tank???

That would be a good vape coming out of those mask deals. Would freak people out though they would think your tank is on the fritz, with the "smoke" coming out and what not.

People are sheep. All you would have to do is tell them it was oxygenated steam therapy.

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?

Or should I just stage youtube review accidents with all of the above devices and sue everyone because they give no warnings and only vague instructions which most people would assume also refers to a PT with it's own battery?

By all means, go for it. Don't forget to pull out all your front teeth to add to the realism of "this mod blew up in my face."

I still don't see the need for this kind of device. There are high mAh batteries out there that will run a mod for at least 18 hours, no matter how much you vape, without the need for a pass through. Or if you really need a pass through, there are plenty of reasonable alternatives out there that don't require their own power pack (which doesn't look all that replaceable to me) so what are you going to do when it won't hold a charge anymore?

I guess all the tech heads are at Vapefest showing off their soda can MODs and dual 18650 Extended Vamos but the skeptics are here bashing the thread hoping it won't work. Just kidding, I know vapefest's more than that.

You show up here and start a thread about this thing that may or may not even work. Some of the best posters on this forum start roasting it due to your arrogant thread title and you somehow feel you have the right to tell posters like Baditude and EricHill78 and others with thousands of posts how they should respond. You are lucky that MaDeuce is actually taking you seriously. My post which caused one of your response posts was a serious question, not thread bashing. One more time for you, rookie:

My 18650 lasts me all day and then some. I vape up to 8 mls a day, which is a substantial vape level. You can dismiss me as a basher, or address that serious question many other vapers will ask. Why mess with your device/theory when my device does not have the issue you describe?

I can assure you I will not be likely to see it if you respond. You have posted on this forum 50 times and yet you have the cheek to tell those of us who have been posting for much longer how our etiquette is lacking.

Good luck with that. I bet this is not thread of the year.

EDIT: My reading of the remainder of the thread forces me to revise that position. The subsequent exchanges between the animals on this thread have actually given this thread some value, one of the funniest I have seen in some time. God bless the hijackers!

Umm, I really hate to say it because I've personally had nothing but nice replies from the forum users since I've been here. But, sheesh. I'm starting to have flashbacks from other forums I've been to in the past. Frankly, I'm kinda taken by surprise. As horrible of an idea as it might be, I never expected the poor fella to be targeted like he has been. He has every right to be upset, in my opinion. Almost every one of you did nothing but mock him and then derail the thread into utter uselessness.

I dunno. I guess I'm so shocked because I never thought some of you would behave in such a way to another forum user here.

Man, I went to bed too early last night! How's this for a thread merge:

The movie opens with the ghost haunting a vape shop run by Halle Berry. He's developing a mind control juice. The new Ghostbusters fall under it's power, and the original Ghostbusters save the world with the Ecto V2.5 that has a 20000 mah battery pack.
