Hey Jays1fan, sorry that the v2 that I was selling didn't work out. On the plus side, my friend is just about smoke free.
I really liked the V2 product. Really great for what they are intended for, which is to get people off of analogs and to have a relatively problem free experience. That, for me, was only good for about a month. Reading through the forums and researching (looks like that's what your'e doing also and are at the point where you're asking the right questions and I hope my response isn't TOO late but let me try to help you with what I've learned.
1. The v2 passthrough puts out 5.1 volts. It's solid, bulletproof, didn't damage my usb port on my computer, yada yada yada...the problem is that it is 5.1 volts. In order to have a favorable experience at 5.1 volts, your atty needs to be at about the 3.0-3.5 ohm range (or even higher) otherwise, the liquid will burn. What I've found is that I like atty's in the 2.4-2.8 ohm range and the passthrough was just too powerful for those atty's.
2. Yes, it is an 808 connector but if you are interested in the 510 threaded atty's, you can always get an adapter for it, an 808-510 adapter. Many places sell these and it works just fine on the passthrough.
3. Honestly, I am assuming though, I think you are at a point, especially if your hardware is V2cigs, your batteries run at 4.2 volts. Still a little high, in my opinion to open you up to the world of the many different types of attys out there. My suggestion and this thoroughly worked for me is to get a usb VV passthrough. I picked this one up from gotvapes:
GotVapes Cyclone eGo Vornado 3ml Bottom Coil Cartomizer VV KIT [gv-cyclonevornado-KIT] - $27.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more
and thoroughly LOVE IT! It gives me a range of 3.3, 3.7 and 4.1...and you can taste the difference it makes AND it also is bullet proof. This particular package comes with to of the Vornado tanks (don't do well with 100% VG juices but with a little bit of a modification, it works GREAT). Works well with blended pg/vg mixes.
Hope this helped you out.

I and many vets do not agree with this point. Many of us vape at or near 5 volts and use attys/cartos in the 2.5 - 2.8 ohm range without any problems. Your liquid will not "burn" but you will get nice warm vapor and good throat hit even on lower nic liquid. Many of us use 1.5 ohm dual coil cartos in the 4.5v - 5.0 volt range.
And every computer is different. Most USB hubs are .5 amps. There have been posts on ECF from computer repair guys who have stated not to plug a 5 volt PT into your computer and other posts where people have damaged their computers. It's not worth the chance.
Hi Again Jays1fan, I see you are still on the search. Have you thought about a standard eGo pass through with a 510>808 adaptor. This will allow you to get the pass through you are looking for+, Much larger battery life++ and also open you up to the second option of trying out the other popular thread and ohm load options available that would otherwise not be ok on your standard 808+++. Just My opinion. By the Way I'm glad to see you have made it throught those first growing pains of vaping. Good Luck. Happy Vaping.
Hi there! I actually got something in today I am very happy with! Its a 901t tank/arty comb. Makes that 12mg VG juice dance!
I even placed a 2nd order. This should do me till next month until I can decide on either the Volt 3.6 passthrough and getting a wall adapted or powered Usb hub OR just add a couple of batts. Very happy with the 808 now. Happy vaping and thanks for the tips and juice!
