May have found the solution to Volcano's USB passthough issue.

If you have ever owned a Volcano USB passthough, and have had it work intermittently, than you are not alone.

I received two of them,and both of them quit working, and then worked intermittently for a while.

It appears that the "staple" trick works wonders with getting these working %100 again.

Also, Blu Attys seem to work better with no "staple" mod.

Effectively, the "staple" mod is this..

Take a single staple(used to bind papers), Bend it and clip it as such.

Make sure the to "T" part is not bigger than the inner section of the connector.. The longer, single wire coming from the bottom should be cut short-ish and placed in the center hole... as I (horribly) illustrated.

Thanks to breakfastchef, who has saved my ..... (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-center-conductor-gap-penstyle-atomizers.html)

Effectively what were doing is making a connection from the center pin of the battery, to the center pin of the atty... which is apparently not happening from stock.

Also, .... jokes welcome.
