Looking for a quality usb battery pack to power my passthrough

[Dan Stull]

Hi title says it all... I'm scouring the internet for a cheap battery pack with the required 5v 1000mAh output to power my usb passthrough while im at work.


My only other question would be if it would be more beneficial to just use the usb power pack i have now which is 5v 500 mAh output with a newer usb passthrough with the detachable battery. I read that I could efficiently keep the battery charged while it outputs the proper mAh if I just bought one of these instead for 20$. Rather than spending the 40-60$ on a new usb battery pack.

Input would be AMAZING thanks a ton.

I have a $75 New Trent 11,000mah Portable USB Charger - requires 7 hours of charging. I think it only puts out 1 amp which would be sufficient for only a passthrough with an inline battery in it. Not sufficient for a plain electrical passthrough - those need 2 amps.

I think you should buy the passthrough with the inline battery. Of course that will be the voltage of the battery (3.4 for and Ego, and you may be able to find 3.7). Then you can use the pack you have or the one I use or any pack that puts out 5v and at least 500mA.

I like the pack - when a big storm is coming I charge up all my stuff and the pack so when/if we lose power I can recharge something while vaping something else. I also took it along to an all day outdoor event and charged batteries with it in the car.

Depending on what carto/atty you are using a 2amp (2000mAh) power supply might be needed. Better off getting a wall adaptor for the one you have. Will cost you around $10.

I bought one of these Kensington Portable USB battery packs from a friend in Oakland. I took it on vacation, it worked great!

Ok I don't need a wall charger as I have 3 of them. I also have batteries etc... everything possible. I need a way to charge my PT through 12 hours straight of work while I do my rounds. I cannot stop at an outlet and smoke. I cannot constantly be charging and changing out batteries either.

Please if you have any input direct it to a affordable usb power pack.

And im using a generic Joye atomizer.

Whatever you get, you want 2amp output if you plan to use a plain electrical passthrough. 500mA+ is enough for an inline battery passthrough because it's just charging the battery while you vape it.

Do you know of any with a 2a output cause I can't seem to find one... If so I would just buy a PT with a inline battery

 

[Dan Stull]

Well since I don't want to spend that kind of 60+$ on a pack.

I was curious if myPVshop Electronic Cigarettes - The Joye510 Electronic Cigarette
This is a passthrough that would be sufficient. I have scene newer models where the Pt has a detachable end (rechargable) wondering if anyone knows some sites that sell those.

 

[sanjosse]

Dan,

Glad I could help. I like the idea of the solar panels, but 20 hours to fully recharge… in direct sunlight… not so practical.

How about this it's output = 2A, unfortunately they're sold out tho;

VLUSBBPV39 Voltaic V39 USB Battery, 10 Watts Output Power

Or this one;

BTW - with the proper adapter you could hook a PT up to the cigarette lighter in your vehicle. I think there are 2amp lighter to USB adpaters. And if not, get a 500mA one and use a PT with inline battery.
