This are 2 of my mods of a mod.
I have purchased several commercial mods and in general they turned out to be pretty reliable and/or well designed.
This is NOT a review, but i need to explain the reasons why they don't work.
In this case, i had 2 pass-throughs sitting in a box for a while and finally decided to fix their flaws.
One was only $10 and i was expecting it would not last very long (and it didn't), but the other one was $30 and it was a pre-order which got me to wait 30+ days after paying for it, just to find out it had the exact same design flaw. At first view, it seemed to be real sturdy in design since it has a thick USB cable and a hard rubber end that grabs the cable so it does not brake.
To make the story short, it turned out that the thick cable is what caused the problem.
The cable is so stiff (impossible to tell from a small pic), that you can almost hang your clothes to dry on it.
What this causes is as you move the pass-through on your hand while vaping, the cable forces the switch casing to gyrate inside and at times forcing the switch into the notch that holds it in place in such way that it keeps the button pressed down without you noticing and obviously frying your atomizer.
In my opinion, all pass-throughs have basically the same problem...the cable.
I always wondered why use attached cables on anything, but I guess it is about generating more profits. (it breaks, you need a new one)
Here is my simple solution to the cable nightmare:
USE A DETACHABLE CABLE.
I added an RCA jack, a manual switch and an RCA connector to my USB cable.
Now when the cable fails, I can either repair it or just make another one with spare parts.
