Pass-Thru not working?

[Synthesis]

I just received my pass-thru yesterday. It's a 901 manual. I plugged it in immediately and it didn't work. Does it need to charge first? Or is it broken?

Thanks for any help.

well, first is it sending power to the atty?

 

[boxhead]

to check, use voltmeter or tip of toung, if yes then try different atty.

I touched my tongue to it and nothing happened (no shock or tingly feeling), tried two different atomizers and still nothing. I'll email the vendor and see how he wants to proceed. Thank you.

then there is the staple mod to get power from battery case to atty: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-center-conductor-gap-penstyle-atomizers.html

what is it pluged into? computer? ipod charger? decated usb wallwort? usb big battery pack? and and the only "store bought usb pass-thru" that has a battery is 510, is there a led in it?

 

[Hellen A. Handbasket]

Does it have an inline battery? Sometimes the battery isn't charged when it arrives and you need to leave the passthrough plugged in to let it charge up or put it on a charger if you have one (not a standard battery charger...) the same as what comes with the cigar kits.

No tongue tingles = dead usually

but could also mean the usb source is underpowered...

 

[tribalmasters]

It would have to be wayy too underpowered or not plugged in not to tingle, one must assume that the passthrough found its way to a USB port, multiple ports and devices tested My last passthroughs failed in unusual ways the penstyle one made a buzzing sound and got hot near the cord but only when having a vape indicating a short was not in the cord! The other 901 one just kinda started flashing its LED in unusual ways until the switch died! I don't trust them to live long or indeed at all sometimes.

If the 901 PT is like the 801 PT it should have a led on the end.

Question is, does that light up when you plug it into the usb (means you have power) and does it then light up when you push the button (circuit inside is good)?

if either about is false then you have a bad usb port on your computer (very possible). Try plugging a USB mouse or something into it.

if the above is true and nothing on the voltmeter/tounge tingle, then you have a bad connection inside.

 

[tribalmasters]

Your right it does! Usually it will flash maybe 4 times when plugged in to indicate its got some juice from the vape-ess-bee port it will however still flash as normal even when the port cannot give enough vape power and will seem to dim when that happens.

Try the iPod or other USB wall socket adapter it provides an excellent vape and is extremely useful!

we sent ours back and found it was the bat that was dead.

will a rechargeable battery from radioshack work with a 510 usb passthru?

will a rechargeable battery from radioshack work with a 510 usb passthru?

I would like to know also but maybe a boost with the power.

Mine died after a few days of heavy usage. I replaced the battery and it worked again for a few days of heavy usage.

I don't think there was anything wrong with it, I just think it never got the chance to recharge much with continuous vaping, the battery never gets to charge up very much so eventually it just dies.
