I got bored and make a pass-through toothbrush

Just thought I'd share this with you, been using it for a couple weeks now and I like it . I decided to take what I learned from ecigs and turned a cheap electric toothbrush into a 5v pass-through. The motor in it can handle more power than its given from 2 AAA's, so its a good bit better at cleaning your teeth, and no gum damage yet.





I got a cheap $6 electric toothbrush and soldered its battery connections to a Usb cord, than hooked the usb cord to a ac>usb adapter from a old cell phone. Works a good bit louder, and you don't have to worry about changing battery's (can get kinda gross).

I have a rechargable Crest Spinbrush Pro. It comes with a charging base. I think I spent $20 for it @ Walmart. No cords to get tangled in, either.

+1 for ingenuity

-1 for wasted effort

Congrats lol!

I'm sure there are many things that you COULD make as a passthrough, but that doesn't necessarily mean you SHOULD...
Toothbrush is OK, but don't go giving ideas to anyone!

 

[OMG!]

Can you vape while brushing your teeth with it?

Haha, I wish. Guess the title could be a little misleading . Owell, time for my teeth to recover from analogs.

Don't listen to the haters! This is awesome!

Looks familiar. I got bored last year and built this one. Love the inductive charging!
