Passthrough safety

[TechnoDestructo]

I am wondering if it is safe to plug the passthrough in to my iPhone charger and then just plug it in to the wall. Then vape like that?

A tasty vape and a nice 110 buzz all in one shot? Could be an electrifying......nope, can't even bring myself to say it.

I'm curious as to the answer though.

I could be wrong, but I think that is recommended over plugging it into your computer. I've heard they can short out your motherboard! I live on the wild side though and just plug it into my computer I tried using my phone charger, but the amps aren't high enough (only 1A) and it just wasn't enough! But I bought the car usb connector and it work amazingly with my PT!! I l am running out of uses for my batts! I'm always using my PT!

Oh, and I tried using my husbands iPod charger plugged into the wall, but again not enough power to make the PT work. Although someone said that the iPad charger has 2A and works great!

I've used my iphone wall plug usb adapter several times to vape with.

I use my iphone charger with my PT all the time.....works just fine!!

Whatever the source.....to power the V4L passthru requires 2 Amps.

Hmmm I wonder what my HTC is....too lazy to walk 20 feet to my car...

Technically it can Jmpublius sir, though it's more of an issue on older mobos than the new ones. How old is your comp?

 

[jmpublius]

I should be fine then. Like most college kids, I used my student loans as an excuse to buy a new laptop.

I am not a tech person, just want to let every one know, first hand, yes you can burn out the usb ports in an older computer. A few weeks ago a friend gave me his old laptop, it is about 6 yrs old. Was using the passthru on it and fried the ports. Thankfully there are 2 more usb ports for the mouse, and I did not burn out the motherboard. I had been using the passthru on hubbies computer with out any problems so I didnt think about it and just transferred to the new to me computer. Live and learn.

I use an ipad usb charger port all the time with my PT, it's probably safer than a PC port. Any 2amp AC/USB adaptor will work, and so will the car adaptor. Most AC/USB aadaptors are not 2amp so make sure it is before you buy it or it's only good for rechargeing batts.

Disappears, vaporizes into the sunrise/set.
