$10 USB Power Outlets Sound Like a No-Brainer - Usb power outlet - Gizmodo

I can think of a few dozen outlets in my home that will be getting a makeover soon.

Wow! That is awesome!

I'm so happy that they are going to be starting them out at a reasonable price. I hope they are making a lot of them.

But the USB ports are only rated @ 600ma. Not enough to power a PT.

Wow! x 2.

I'm literally salivating. Great idea. I'm not an early adapter though so I'll keep watching until more is known about the quality, energy usage, and any hazards of these outlets. Thanks for pointing it out.

@Pawpaw well we are just going to have to figure out how to make one that does support a PT.

Belkin Mini Surge 3OUT Wall Mount 75K 918J with USB Charger. Found this in one of the posts.

Has anyone tried this adapter with the PT? What is the minimum power requirement for the PTs? I'm on a mission.... my laptop doesn't have enough power for the PT's, but I LOVE vaping with one.

 

[Pawpaw]

The minimum current you'll need for a PT is 1000ma (1A).

The one I posted is at amazon, it will work with the PT. I have 4 of the $1.95 ones and they work great. (there's a thread here somewhere about those)

I found a USB mini-hub lying around the house that works GREAT! Thanks PawPaw and Sheryl!!

I got a Belkin F8Z121 adapter from Ebay for about $9.00. Works great at 1amp output. If I tried I could easily incinerate a cartomizer with it.

FWIW and IMHO, the perfect one would be a portable unit that has 2 usb ports and is powered by rechargeable AA batteries (but has an A/C plug to recharge the AAs and let you still use the usb ports even if the AAs are being recharged). That's what I've been looking to buy for the last 6 months and can't seem to find anywhere.

The shipping's a bit of a bummer, but if you order two (or five) it evens out!
