I love using my 801 and 901 passthroughs w/ the computer but want to grab one of these badboys just for the portability factor. And I know from experience that Kensington makes some sexy gadgets. Will definately pick up one of these during the weekend. :D


Yeah, using my passthrough on it's own is great, but the NOMA power pack thing aint cutting it. I have a Prodigy on the way so the whole issue might be moot :)

I had been using the APC powerpack then the Duracell powerpack powering USB manual switch passthroughs which were a real step up from batteries..! The Kensington must be as great!

PS But once we made the battery mod (AA box with 14500 batt and manual switch ) there is no going back!..full day of vaping with manual switch no wires.. total heaven..!
I haven't use a regular battery nor a power pack in 2 months!..
going to try Youfillintheblank's mod 6V next..!

I should have my first 801 DIY passthrough (juicy box with a USB instead of bats) complete today while I wait for my bats and charger from China. Can't believe how much fun it is to make your own. I feel like a kid with a new model kit.

I can't stop thinking about all the possibilities with modding. I understand why some ppl get so obsessed with it.

WOW!
Been using the passthrough and the kensington for 3 days. This set-up is awesome. I use it full time when I'm drivingv(3 to 4 hours per day) and just put it on the charger tonight. Excellent steady vapor quality. Now I really know when its time to drip!:)

I would recommend this to everyone :thumbs:

Help me PLEASE!! Pretty please!!
I asked on a different thread about these devices but then got completely confused when I read the thread they gave me.
I have a 901 usb that I hook up to my computer but from what I think I am reading on the threads is that some of these usb pass throughs have a battery inside and some don't??? Is that true? Mine is really light so I don't think there is one in mine.
And the big question, the most important one I wanted to ask you is, what e cig and usb pass through are you using with the kensington? I just want to get one cause these three batteries I have aren't charging and lasting me long enough. I am like a pup nursing on my usb to computer. I wish to wean myself. Help! :lol:

Hi Moonlighter,

As far as I know the 510 model is the only USB passthru that has the inline battery(its an actual little battery box in the middle of the cord).... Your 901 shouldn't....

Some people are not happy with their Passthrus when they connect them to their comps ( not enough power)...So they will get a battery pack = the kensington... You can pick one up at bestbuys store or online....They usually have them on sale every other week for 39.99 ( normally like 59.99)...There is also another power back that Sunvapor had suggest that's less expensive, works just as good but, I cant remember the name of it right off ( anyone else know?)

You'd do an initial charge on your kengsinton... Then you plug your passthru into it, screw on your atomizer.. the kensington is very portable..You could pick it up and carry it around...It also has 5 little blue lights on it- that signify's how much power you have left on it... you press a button to see how much power you have left/how many lights light up...I recharge mine if only 3 out of the 5 light up..

You can use any ecig USB passthru with the kensington...Hope I helped and didn't just confuse you more...I neeed coffee lol.............Ivy

Hi Moonlighter,
You can use any USB passthrough ecig with a power pack like the Kensington (as long as output is 1A )
As far as the confusion between USB passthroughs with or without batts:)
All passthroughs have what looks like an ecig battery at the end of the wire to screw your atomizer in it - but it's not a power source.
In a regular passthrough, whatever you plug your USB port in...ie computer or power pack directly powers your ecig .

In the other kind of passthrough (like David Yang manual USB or Janty kissbox) there is along the length of the wire mid way , a small rectangular box with a 3.6V lithium battery in it.. hard to miss. With this kind, the powersource your USB port is plugged into ..charges the 3.6V batt inside that box rather than your ecig directly, and this small almost AAA size battery then is the power source for your passthrough. You can always walk around without plugging the USB port into anything as the little battery is the main power source. It lasts for about 5-6 hrs until it needs recharging.

Hope this help!!
