Need wall charger for PT

[sal997]

Hi Folks,
I need a USB wall charger to run my PT. I Can't seem to find one that is 2000mAh which is what I read is needed. Appeciate any advise on what to buy. Thanks.

There's one on newegg.com that works very well with V4L's pt Sal (sir correct?), when I get home will post the link...

Otherwise, the IQ dual USB at Walmart online works well: Walmart.com: iQ-Power Dual USB AC Power Adapter: iPods & MP3 Players

Newegg.com - Griffin PowerBlock Wall Charger for iPad, iPod or iPhone (2A x 1 USB) NA23094

Here's the link Sal997...

I'd stay with the IQ, at $10 (I have been using them for about a year, no issues. 2A total available, across the two USB ports, I've run PT with 2.6 ohm cartos without a problem, though it was a pretty hot vape.)

I use the walmart one too, and it works great. You can order online and pick up at store for no shipping charges.

The griffin one actually puts out 2.3a max (at least the one I own does), which is great if you have some wow cartos that come in under 2.5ohm...

I have an original iPhone USB wall adapter and that works also.

Morandir ....i am stupid about this but what is the point of having a wall charger for the PT ? me confused ..i use mine in the car ...not even computer ....what else is there ?

 

[gman1000]

He may not have USB port handy all the time, or maybe all his USB ports are in use, it does come in handy, you could use it for charging batteries or other USB devices. Better to have & not need than need & not have.

Case in point, I have an outlet above my dresser next to my bed. I can vape & watch TV in comfort. No need to use a battery I could be charging.

If you want to use the pt inside Ms. Nancy, a wall adapter is a must. You really don't want to put that strain on your mother board, and most times the usb ports on a computer top out at 1 amp. Personally only use mine in the car as well, but understand how some are addicted to the 5v output of the pt.

Hey folks,
Thanks so much for all your input. You've been a great help. I saw both of the recommended ones while shopping bur wasn't sure if they would work, now I know they will. Morandir Sir, I am a Sir also. I read all your posts and thank you and Snow for all your advise. You don't know how much it helps all of us. I read this stuff every day, mostly waiting for some VG Coffee 36 to come in. I'm stuck on Coffee and Cappuccino, good stuff is hard to find. Thanks again all of you.

Sal I like the Cafe Mocha VG very much. I just checked & they're out of it right now but you might like to try that in the future & see if might be a good substitute for when your other favs are out.

Sal sir you're more than welcome.

I didn't know this either...coulda fried my 'puter right on my lap

 

[Morandir835]

Sadly it's a risk Ms. Nana, 10 watts of power is alot of strain on a standard usb 2.0 port.

OK...thank you .I am only using it in the car

Well Folks, The reason I asked for some advise is because I just had to buy a new computer. The mother board was fried and I know it is because I used the PT in the USB port. I'm a real dope because I've read many posts from Morandir and Snow telling us not to use the USB's. But noooo! mine was working great until the screen turned green. Thankfully I was able to get all my stuff off and transfer it to the new machine. When these guys say something, LISTEN, they know what they're talking about. I'm plugged into the wall now as per Morandir's advise. Thanks for all your help.
Sal
