Passthroughs, LR Atomizers and Lap tops?

[grants1]

Is it no good?

I've read some talk of concern in reference to LR atomizers and passthroughs on a USB port on a computer.

Should I stick to regular 901 atomizers instead?


EDIT: Think I've answered my own questions!

Yes. However..... in a pinch... IF, and that's a big important IF, the PT is a 3.x volt PT with a battery in it... it's probably OK in a pinch. The issue comes in with 5 volt no-battery PT's that try to draw too many amps from the port. If it has a battery, you vape from the battery like any normal e-cig, it just trickle charges from the USB port.

The LR thing applies to all e-cigs with mosfets (power circuitry) and specifically to 1.5 ohm stuff causing over amping of the circuits and possibly frying the circuits with heavy vaping. Many do it anyway. Some stay with 2.0 ohms or higher.
