Do you know if this was just a random sale at your local store, or if it's available at any RadioShack?
i don't have a clue its not on the online store ill check a diferant one probably today.
here's an update on how the mod works it works good but.... if you have a messed up atty it will throw a safety in the board some where and it requires you to plug it in to reset it.

I assume so, and that's primarily why I'm looking at it. Heading out to RS now to see if it's a chain-wide sale or not.
yes it works great as a power supply for a pass through i just attached my pass through to it.
My local RadioShack didn't have the PPUMINI-K, but they had the PPUMINI-M. It says 5VDC, 500mA max, and 2.5wH, so I guess it's the smaller version? It was on sale for $12.99. I picked one up, but it doesn't seem to be as good a deal.
Actually, I'm wondering. The power pack says:
Capacity: 2.5Wh
Input: 5VDC, 500mA max.
Output: 5VDC, 500mA max.
Does this mean that it's equivalent to a 500mAh battery? Or something else?

Well what does it say on your device for "capacity," "input," and "output?" I'd at least like to know if my numbers are bigger or smaller, since the price tag was bigger.
Sorry for my ignorance- In its un-modded state what is this used for and how does it tie into e-cigs
also- why would you want to mod this? (no sarcasm- Im trying to figure out what you could mod this thing into) is it used for mods for the usb?
After reading my post I sound like a total idiot- but hell I won't know unless I ask>

it is a cheap easy way to get a battery pack with a charging circuit. the first mod was easy take the cast off solder wires on to the usb out port drill hole in case and glue usb pass through to it. last a long time. 2nd mod was a lot harder still in testing.
Un-modded, it doesn't really relate to e-cigs. You could use it as a battery source for a passthrough, I think, but that's about it. It's meant to be a backup charger for cell phones. It has an adapter for an iPhone, as well as a mini-USB adapter, and I believe you can order more from the company that makes them.
I'm trying to figure out if the guts are slim enough to fit inside a 2xAA box, because then you'd have a cheap and easy way to make a USB rechargeable box mod.
I think I've gotten to the bottom of this. It seems that the PPUMINI-K works as a 750mAh battery, and the PPUMINI-M works as a 650mAh battery. At my local store, the K was $20 and the M was $13. The bigger unit wasn't on sale here, so I guess it's just your local store, cod. Now I have to pick up another one and see if the smaller unit is capable of powering an atomizer for a full day.
I was at RadioShack today picking up the last of the clearance rcr123a 3v 400mah batteries and I saw the pack you guys are talking about (I think) they were 12 bucks- not sure which model- I was in a hurry. Anyways- so did you guys have success modding it? I would like to give it a try- but my modding skills aren't that good- (Ive built a NicoStick- thats it) Could a novice mod this?
i have had good sucess with this 2 mods made it is a tad wider than 2 AA batterys so a 2 AA box probably wont work. radio shack has a box fits it prity well. if you can get the unit apart then modding it is nothing just solder 2 wires from the + and - on the usb out port you can leave the port or take it off. the ones i got are all 500mA.
