Passthrough Question

[HighHeeledGoddess]

Why is it that my passthrough has to be soaking wet (ie - liquid practically pouring into my mouth) to hit? I have tried it with different atomizers, and do not think the atomizer is the culprit. Is this normal? I can put a wet cart on my battery powered e-cig and vape away, but my manual has to be soaked. I feel like I am wasting my liquid, but I like the superior hits, (and lack of work) I get from my PT. Any suggestions?

your over dripping...

I dont get really any hit out of my PT.

You need to find out what your PT is putting out.... Watts is what counts here..

Your USB is 5V, but at what amps? USB 2.0 ports are good for 500 ma. So for watts thats:

5V * .5A = 2.5 Watts

Your battery is 3.7V. The max amps put out in this case are goverend by ohms law amps = volts / resistance:

3.7 volts / 3 ohm = 1.2 amps, 1.2 amps * 3.7 v = 4.4 Watts

As you see from this example, the battery, although lower volts, allows for a greater wattage and more vape.

Some of the usb batt packs like the kensington put out more amps and give a better hit from the passthru.

Might also try a wall adapter for usb that can put out 1+ amps.

yes, you need at least 1 amp for it to work as well as a batt.

BAH! Bad electrical analysis.

If your pass-thru doesn't have a battery (and many do), then it needs to get all of its instantaneous power from the USB port.

If your USB port can only put out .5A (500mA), then it will never get your atty to 5V, it won't even get it to 3.7V. Ohms law (the correct application) says that with a 3 Ohm atomizer... you'll only get 1.5 Volts... less than half of what you'll typically get from your battery.

If your pass-thru has a battery though, none of this applies.
