I am thinking of getting a passthrough but see most are 5v.
but I found 1 that is labeled 3.6v
Pass Through - Black (Maxx Fusion) 3.6V from bloogplanet.com

Has anyone used this ?
Has anyone used this AND a 5V one ?

I love my V2 Cartos and looking for something that is just like the 808 batts. Did I find the right item for me ?
Is there any other brands that are about this voltage and are 808 threaded.

Thanks !
Scott

In the reviews it seems that these seem to have a relatively short life for a lot of people. I am looking for a reliable 5v passthrough with 510 connection so everything is compatable. If this needs to be moved to a different forum or a new thread please let me know. Don't mean to hijack the thread just interested in OP experience as well as the 5v 510 good passthrough. thanks

That's a 510 not an 808. Plus madvapes has had some bad reviews lately with credit card fraud problems, so I wont be buying from there.

I buy from MadVapes regularly. I wasn't aware of a problem and have not had a problem myself. If you have more information that would be good to know.

Pass-throughs are just a step above being disposable. That's why they are so cheap. Puresmoker use to sell a heavy duty pass-through with a warranty but I think they stopped making them.

If you use a straight pass-through (one without an inline battery) then you must use a 5 volt/2 amp USB to AC wall outlet adapter ($12) and not just plug it into your computer or you could easily damage your computer. Plus you will not be getting true 5 volt vaping without the adapter.

check out the neg. reviews board about the Charge Card problems.
I think I am going with the V2 brand Passthough. even though it is 5volts , it works off the computer. Wanted to try the Bloog 3.6 volt one but no one will return an email on some questions I had , so snooze you lose.

I think you'll be happy with the V2 notebook, I know I was.

Was ? or am ? lol . V2 is great for me so far in general , but was interested in the Bloog because it was 3.6 volts.
The $10 difference I am not woried about because with V2 you also get 5 prefilled cartos , which I use.

I find that my current batt system does not venture far from my hand. I have a 5v pt with a tank on it by my recliner. But I also find I don't use it as much as I thought i would. Might just be the tether to the wall thing. I also don't find it any more satisfying than my other systems at lower voltage. But that's me. Sorry can't speak to voltage or unit you want info on. I have also ordered many times from MV and have not had an issue. I believe those type issues are a personal responsibility. They do have decent pricing and shipping. Still its your choice. Here's hoping you get the answers you seek!

I'm not familar with this one, but if it does not have an in-line battery built into it, I would NOT plug it into your computers USB port. There have been a number of posts where people have hurt their computers and even fried their mother boards by using a pass-through directly plugged into their computers. The power pull is just too high.

WAS! Like I said in my post on your first page, I wanted all my threading to be the same, so I went with 510 threading and ordered passthroughs to match. I tried ordering one of those little adapters to fit a 510 carto on an 808 end, and it didn't work AT ALL! The adapter kept the end of the carto from reaching the heating part, so I wasen't getting any heat or vape from it. But anyway, what's wrong with the other option I found for you? The Smokeless Image.
