Ok, I am having trouble with passthroughs not working, Tony sent me replacements which I just received but they do the same thing. when I plug them in they blink 3 times, cool, and if I press button they light up, but when I screw an atomizer into them and press the button they nano blink once when the button is pressed and once when the button is let go and that is it. I have tried every usb connection in the house, LOL, I am able to charge with my computer ports and all the wall chargers work great so I am very stumped as to why these won't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. To me they act like something is faulty with the circuit at the atomizer connection. If I unscrew the atomizer to where it doesn't make connection the led will light up but as soon as the atomizer connects there is nothing. These are standard atomizers not the LR versions. Has anyone else had these problems. Thanks everyone

Did this happen right from the start? Or did it work for a little bit and then happen? Are you dripping?
I had issues one time where apparently too much liquid got in it. When I pressed the button, the PT would shut off. When I let go of the button, it would stay on.
After I cleaned it, it's working fine and hasn't had a problem since then.

This is right out of the package. No dripping. Since I been using blue foam in carts, no need to drip. I am pretty mechanically and electronics inclined so I am stumped and this is the second set he sent me. Like I said they light up when there is no atomizer attached. Its like once the atomizer makes contact it shorts. Go figure
we tested both of them before they went out and they worked fine. I wonder if you computer is putting out enough power to work them properly.

My guess is you are plugging into the front, there should be some in the back too, try them if they aren't already used. Front and back are usually on different controllers inside the machine and may be the difference. I've been working with computers for 15 years and have only seen 2 or 3 instances where USB ports weren't putting out enough voltage, but it does happen.
If you have a 902 or Sidesho, you should have the Wall Adapter (AC to USB) adapter to charge the PCC. Try plugging it into that and see whether it works. If it does then your computer just isn't supplying enough voltage to run it. If that works then you may just want to pick up another wall adapter and possibly a USB extension cable at any local computer store.

I use a wall adapter and possibly a USB extension cable for my 902 Passthrough works wonderful and leavs all the USB ports open on the PC. I have one next to the easy chair as well.
Yes, but what do you do while you're moving from the computer to the easy chair? huh?
Welcome to Usb.brando.com You know you want it. Oh yes, you know you do.

Thanks everyone for the help. Tony and I troubleshooted over phone and am going to try car adapter and see if they work on it, hopefully this will narrow down the problem. I was using my old m401 wall chargers and computer and they must not give enough power to run passthrough. I will post findings so this might help others. Thanks again
I am a business owner and work from home it’s about a 10 second commute to the easy chair
, when in the car I use a USB adaptor for the Analog lighter, My Pass-through go’s with me everywhere.I have seen the USB Wrist Band Battery somewhere on the ECF was thinking of getting something like that for camping and fishing this summer.
**** Kicking back on the boat feet up on the rail Vaping on some MV Cherry 24 mg beer in hand with my 902 Pass-through **** That's going to be a good day. Fish or no fish. LOL

OK, problem solved. Passthrough works fine in car using car adapter. So this means the usb wall chargers and my computer do not put out enough juice to fire the passthroughs up. Tony told me they work with his wall usb adapters so I will soon be in business, Yeah! We both thought that any usb charger would work but seems like not all will and I use computer to charge my batteries some thats what really stumped me but they sure fired up in the car. Cool Cool, I would rather use a wall adapter anyway. I had already purchased two nice 10 foot usb extensions on ebay for 10$ a piece delivered and they are really high quality ones so I will be in business soon. Thanks everyone for the help, hope this helps anyone who experiences the same thing, so if you are going to get a passthrough I would highly recommend buying wall adapters from Tony just to save one from the headache of trying to guess why they aren't working. It is really nice to have a place like this to go and find nice folks to share and pick brains with. Good Day
