Pass through vapor less than battery KR808

[dgr]

The Kr808 pass through doesn't have a battery in it. I've noticed my pass through doesn't put out as much vapor or TH as my batteries. I have it plugged into a USB port on my computer. Anyone else experience this? Anyone try a higher amp wall adapter to USB and, if so, did it make a difference?

Thank you

Yes, and yes! Many computer USB ports do not have sufficent power to supply
the pass thru fully. I have a 4 port USB hub rated at 2.1A that works great.
And you can vape anywhere you can find a AC wall outlet.!!

You also want to make sure your usb port is 2.0. Using an older laptop or computer with only usb 1 will not provide the full power you want.

You'll be very happy with it once you've plugged it into the wall and are vaping with full power!

Enjoy!

If you are on a laptop you will have less power to the USB than a desktop.
Its just the way most of them operate.
I would try a low resistance atty to see if this helps.
Some LR attys will not work on passthroughs but some will work just fine.

I got a 4-port USB to AC adaptor at NewEgg (Roswill brand or something like that). 2Amp = 2000mA total. So it should theoretically be able to charge 2 normal batteries (at 500mA each) and run a PT (at 1000mA) at the same time.

This is it - free shipping too

You guys ROCK! Get your answer, get a pointer to exactly what I need, all in the blink of an eye.

I am currently using a 5V pass thru, its vapor is excellent.

purple pup,
Connected to what?

I would not recommend that Newegg unit -- the detailed specs say "Max output of each port is 0.5 Amp=500 MA."

Likewise do not try an LR on a passthrough if you're starting from not current available from the power source -- you're inviting a failure (best case it doesn't work at all, worst case things go bad, up to and including toasting a PC).

The IQ dual AC USB adapter has a full 2A output, and can output all 2A on one port (enough to drive a 2.5 ohm carto at 5V). Walmart has them online, or an even better deal is: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...138754-iq-power-dual-usb-ac-adaptor-2amp.html

(I use two IQs, one at home for general stuff and one at work with a PT and cell charger -- they're solid. I did have issues with getting my original order in, but the postmark showed it was a USPS error, twilight zone delivery, not a vendor problem.)

I had a good amount of vapor when I used any of the 5-volt passthroughs I have, but I had them plugged into 2amp AC to USB wall adapters I bought from madvapes.com for just under $10 each. When I plugged them into my computer, the power wasn't enough (at .5amp), and sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't work. The vapor is dependent on the battery power and how much VG you have in your liquid.

Reporting back. Picked up a 2 amp dual port A/C to USB adapter. It specs 2 amps for a single port/1 amp per port when both ports are in use. I'm guessing that it is simply 2 amp max and that is shared as needed between the ports. It's made by Rhino as was under 10 bucks.

I would say it definitely vapes better than the USB port on my laptop. Plus it will charge my PCC at the same time.
