So yes I am sure this is an idiot question but hey I am new so I'll just go on out on the limb and ask. Can you take the volt x2 batt passthrough off the cord or does it always have to be plugged into a power source?

That is so cute and a good question.
Your X2 battery should have a plug in at the tip of the battery that plugs and unplugs if it is a normal X-2. You can use it unplugged from the tip. The battery functions like a passthrough but is a free floating battery. If that battery gets too low on juice, you have to plug it infor a little while before using it as a passthrough. Basically, it is charging while you are not hitting on it. It quits charging while you take a puff. Then it starts charging again when you are not puffing. Did that make any sense?
The other thing is there is an actual X-2 passthrough battery that does not unplug from the tip. That one you should not try to pull apart to use
thanks for the fast respomses! I do not have an X2 but I am on the SI website looking at these

ooo.. I see you're in Alabama.. I am in what should be southern Alabama.. 17 miles from the border in N Fla. If you're in southern Al.. there is a panhandle/gulf coast vapers group - just started and had the first meet last weekend. I'll dig up the link if you're interested.
That's what I use. I've become a past master at standing up and breaking the link to the charger with two fingers, dropping the battery in my pocket and walking away.
Yes, they work away from the computer/charger (I'd actually recommend an external charger as there's a remote chance you could damage your computer). How long they work is dependent on the one you get. Roughly, 100 mAh is equivalent to 1 hour of vape time on average. I'm not average and chew through it faster than that--I get 10 hours or so out of the 1,300 mAh. I'd get around 4 hours out of the 650.
It's slightly better for the battery if you unplug it when it's fully charged and use it for a while before plugging in again. Lithium batteries don't particularly care to always be at full charge, it's a bit of a stress. I try to do that but I'm not all that great with it.
Thanks again for the info because you just answered all my other idiot questions I was about to blurt out lol. I do have one more though. About how long does the batt last like months years ect. I know it is a ball park figure but i just dont want to get this if I will have to replace it ever two months or so.
I'm not sure, actually. My six month old (well, within a few days) batteries are still working just fine with no noticeable degradation of battery life. If you beat them up and drop them constantly and step on them and run over them with the car and leave them in the hot car in summer...lifespan will be quite short.
Treated well, with only the occasional drop (which we all do), my guess is a year on average. It could be more.
Don't forget that fun time when it slips off the lanyard and right down into the garbage disposal or toilett!!
Lithium based batteries generally last about 300 charge cycles. Since they are lithium they can be safely recharged even if they are not actually in need of a charge. There is some evidence that doing that can actually extend their life cycle. All that being said, I have three X2-650s that get daily use that are now seven months old. They only get charged maybe once a week, but still, seven months ain't too shabby.
