Looking for a 5V 510 PT????

[Pyloric Thinker]

I'm having trouble finding a PT that runs at 5V. I've been looking around at different PT's and I can't seem to find any specifics as to what the voltage being run is. I know you can only get about 4V from a PC, but my main concern is a lot of these models have batteries in the cord which leads me to believe they're 3.7V units. I'm not sure if PT's have become less popular due to longer battery lives or people investing money in mods instead, but I'd like to find a PT that runs a consistent 5V for nighttime vaping.

I'd really appreciate and suggestions irt suppliers and maybe someone can answer whether the joye 510 PT is 5V or not. I can't seem to get that question answered. Thanks!

Well it might not be that much help after all, not many listed
I do know you will need a 110v USB power source to get 5v for any PT

The reason for the battery is because while USB ports supply a full 5v, they only supply 0.5 amps, which really isn't enough for most atomizers. Really, "pass through" is a misnomer. They're fully battery operated PVs, that have a permanently attached charging cord. The reason for doing it this way, is that it allows changing the voltage and amperage to something that will work properly in a very simple manner. There are other ways to accomplish it, and I've seen a very small number of passthroughs that don't have any kind of battery, but they tend to be more expensive and don't burn the hottest from what I've heard.

In 808s, full, real, Passthroughs are common.

Generally running right off a PC port isn't recommended, if only because you won't want an atty short taking out your motherboard. An AC USB power supply rated for 2A output (enough to drive 2.5 ohm atomizers/cartomizers at 5V) runs abut $10.

I've run an 808 PT off a Dell docking station and it worked OK until I got my 2A wall power supply.

Here's one site claiming a true 510 PT:
510 USB 5v Passthrough

I've not used their products before.

My Vapor Store had them,not sure now though.

WordupEcig might carry them. As far as I know if the passthorugh has a battery in it it's 3.7.

If this is what your are talking about the answer is NO.

And neither is this. Even though vendors call it an eGo PT, Janty does not.

The Janty eGo USB battery allows the user to vape while charging the battery. This USB battery includes an astounding 5 foot USB charging cable allowing

And things like this have no voltage, they are simply adapters.

The volts will be determined by how much current is available and you atties' ohms.

In general using one of those no battery PT's with common AC USB 2000mA adapters will drive a Joye atty at about 4.1 vaping volts, tops, you won't actually be able to get the full 2000mA to the atty (wires, connectors etc. add resistance). Do note though that is almost 60% more watts (heat/Power) than a standard Joye ecig batt.

Although I have no experience with it, according to the specs this should run any standard atty at a true 5V, and a LR 1.5Ω atty at about 3.4V.

Thanks to everyone for their response! I have a follow-up question for WillyB.

Although I have no experience with it, according to the specs this should run any standard atty at a true 5V, and a LR 1.5Ω atty at about 3.4V.

I think I'm confused, but LR = less voltage? Voltage is a representation of the electric potential energy per unit charge. If a unit of electrical charge were placed in a location, the voltage indicates the potential energy of it at that point. In other words, it is a measurement of the energy contained within an electric field, or an electric circuit, at a given point. Why would having less resistance = less voltage? You'll have to forgive me as I've only had one class in physics and am still learning the difference between a volt, a watt, an ohm, etc. Thanks!

I think I'm confused, but LR = less voltage?

Yes, because our current in this case is capped/limited.

In this case we are using 5V power supplies. So our limits are 5V with either a 2A or 2.4A current limit.

Just use this to make life easy. Note you will be getting theoretical numbers, real world numbers will be different due to additional resistance and/or the manufacturers' overstating true output of their adapters.

Online Conversion - Ohm's Law Calculator

Try 2A and 2.1 (we'll use this for a Joye atty) = 4.2V, then plunk in 2.4A = 5V (the cap on our 5V supply).

Now 2A and 1.5Ω (LR) = 3V, 2.4A = 3.6V

You always see the warning not to use a LR atty on a so-called 5V PT makes no sense (unless you have a 3A+ power supply), just because vendors these days call any PT without a battery a '5V PT' doesn't make them anything but an adapter whose voltage will be determined by the power supply they are plugged into. Most of these vendors who offer an AC USB adapter only offer the usual 2000mA ones, and as the calculator shows a PT plugged into a 2000mA adapter provides less amps and voltage than an 18650 battery.

Mad Vapes has some.

If you can get 1,the BB passthru from AltSmoke is 5v.I have a 5v,2amp wall plug and mine shows 5.5v at the atty connection.
It ain't cheap,but it is really well made,with a 4-5ft.power cord and plug in that is heavy duty and made to last.

As I've noted it's loaded, vaping volts that matter, any USB port will read ~5V unloaded as that is what the spec calls for. As I've said your 2A wall plug will only drive Joye atties at 4.1V, not even close to your 5.5V figure.

Thank you all for the help! I've been boning up on my physics and this all is making a ton more sense. I realized I was approaching my equations with the wrong numbers in place! I can test resistance and voltage to see what current I'll need to produce it! Thanks!
