Passthru Problems

[yppan]

So i've been vaping for about 3 months now with no problems.

Just recently i received a 510 USB passthru from cignot.

The first few days all went well... but today i successfully burned up 2 atomizers and 1 cartomizer using the USB passthru.

The reason i say burned up is because they actually caught on fire. I looked down into the atomzier and their were embers and smoke coming out from it.

I read somewhere that the USB passthru puts out 5 volts. Do i need to purchase special high voltage atomizers for this to work without burning up all my accessories?

make sure you are not using a low res atty. Id recommend using 3 ohm or higher. 5 volts will pop them every time. Consider cisco brand atty. You might want to try the 306's as well. Some people like them over the 510s ,some dont

I'm not sure what resistance these atomizers are, they came with my starter kit.

Could you link me to the cisco brand?

You should only use the standard attys on your PT. 510 PT's are NOT meant to be used with LR or HV atomizers ever. Are you positive that what you saw were embers and smoke? If it actually caught on fire, then something is seriously wrong and you should stop using it.

If it's a 5V PT then there won't be an inline battery. If it's the one with the inline battery, then it's a 3.7V.

If inline battery means the little black box with the blue battery inside, then yes, i have that one.

I'm positive it was smoke, embers, and a horrid chemical / motor oil / cat piss smell came off of it.

Happened on both my atomizers, and on my cartomizer i could smell it but not see it.

Yup. You have an inline PT. Well, maybe not anymore. If this happened with two atomizers and a cartomizer that you have used before without any problems then your PT is probably shot.

it still works when i unplug it from the USB port...

i'm no expert, but wouldn't that mean the inline battery portion is still doing its job?

 

[WomanOfHeart]

Yes, that means the battery is still working, but is it still burning up attys and cartos? There might be a short in the actual PT portion. There could also be a problem with your USB connection.

 

[yppan]

there goes another cartomizer lol

 

[yppan]

i guess i'll try and return this thing... if not well it was 17$ wasted -_-

 

[WomanOfHeart]

That would depend on how long you've had it and who you bought it from...
