Need a Good USB AC Adapter for my V4L Manual Passthru

[costeve]

I just bought a V4L Manual Pass Thru - I need a good quality USB AC Adapter to plug the pass thru into. I've heard some say you need a 5v -1000 ma (milli-amp) USB AC Adapter.

Some others have said a 5v - 2000 ma is even better, but a few say 2000ma runs too hot and 1000 ma is enough.

Can anybody give me a brand name of a good one they're using with a V4L manual passthru and where i can buy one?

Thanks
Steve

Here is a link to one that was on the forums months ago. I bought 3 and they work great!!
I just checked it and they are all sold out but you can still use it for the specs. Hope this helps?

I believe the Apple iPad AC Adapter (5.1V/2.1A) works great with the PT.

Some others have said a 5v - 2000 ma is even better, but a few say 2000ma runs too hot and 1000 ma is enough.

Unfortunately, "some others" don't understand how electricity works. If the device draws 1000 ma, a 100000000000000000 ma power supply is only going to provide 1000 ma to the device. It's what the device can _source_. That's it.

Some of the low resistance premium cartomizers can source up to about 1.8A when cold. So a 2000ma power supply should be considered the minimum. Some of the 1000 and 1500mA units are actually "down-binned" 2000mA (2A) power supplies, and work fine - but that shouldn't be relied upon to be generally true. Buy 2A (2000mA) or higher and you're fine.

PM206, does it work well? Did you buy it from the web site you posted? I don't want to buy one from China Thanks.

I was skeptical about ordering from China, but I ordered this adapter from this Ebay seller cause I really wanted one. Expected to wait a loooong time for delivery, but it arrived in less than 2 weeks. Works great and it is a really good price. Thanks, Adrenalyn.
