I'm back... battery/charger question + intro

Hello. Some background.

I've been a pack a day smoker for over 10 years (does time really go that fast?)... about 4-5 years ago, when the Joye Ego was coming out, I switched to vaping, and it did wonders. But that only lasted 3 months before I got rid of it, because I had some difficult situations, and had to sell it.

Fast forward to now, I picked up a Innokin iTaste 3 vv/vw from a local vape shot, and instantly stopped buying analogs, which was my goal all along.

I used to have an account here, I believe my ID might have been Acclaim99 (can a mod check into that ;))

I'm glad to be back. I love my itaste, but would like to go the mech mod route, and have been reading up a lot on building coils and what not.

I do have a newbie question, and since I can't post in the appropriate forum, I'll ask here.

Today, I was given a Kocaso 2600mah power pack. The information according to the website are as follows:

Capacity: 2600mAh
Input: DC 5V 500mA
Output: 5.5V 800mA

I just want to make sure that plugging my itaste into it won't damage the battery. Because, I must say, having a smallish portable powerpack for the itaste, kind of turns the only real downfall of the vape.

Thanks in advance.

Argh, this is the 4th time I had to type this part:

P.s. can anyone walk me through where the add signature option is? I've read the FAQ, generated the sigbanner, but cant find where to add it to posts on my cell phone. Thanks.

The Innokin VV3 has a built in charger. As long as the source for the 5VDC can provide adequate current - and those specs you list for that power pack are adequate - it should work just fine for that side of the equation.

I'm a tad concerned about the 5.5 volt rating on it's output, though. USB2 is specified at 5, not 5.5. Too high a voltage could be a problem. Unless you have the means to test that voltage under load, I'd hold off on using it.

That is exactly correct!
