Info on Car adapters

[dohsma]

Hello,

We have been getting some questions on the new car adapters that are for sale on the site. I think the root of the issues is that the factory put the old stickers on the new car chargers. The sticker says 5V 200mA, but they are in fact rated at 5V 1000mA. The best way to tell if you received an old charger or the new one, is that the new ones will come to you wrapped in plastic, and the old ones don't. The old one will charge a battery but not power the PT, the new one should power the PT.

Yeah, the one I got powers the passthrough just fine - good to know. Thanks Mark!

Thank you so much for the heads up. I now have mine ready to go into the car.

I have two, and neither works on the PT. Ah well...

Did you receive one that was wrapped in a plastic bag? I have test quite a few of the newer ones and they all worked.

No, they came in little boxes. Does that make a difference?

We probably just put them in a box for shipping, if they weren't wrapped in plastic they are the older ones that will not power a PT.

Ok. Whew! Thought my two cig outlets in my car were both out! LOL!

The new car adapter works with the PT, do we need another part?

is 1000mA enough for 5V vaping? with a 3ohm atomizer at 5v's you really would need more like 1666mA and thats at 100% efficency!....is there a reason to use a adapter so underpowered for the ecig?

Have you guys looked into 2000mA adapters? That Might give a little head way and enough power to properly run the Atomizers at 5v's

IMO 5V is too much for a cartomizer anyway. The car adapter that we are selling powers the VK passthroughs with no problems (that I have experienced)

I don't think 5 volt vaping was the issue, I believe we are just making sure what we need to power the PT or battery in the car.
