Portable USB Chargers + Pass Through?

[navyblew]

Hello All!

I was wondering if anyone had simply used a portable USB charger (like a duracell or a tekkeon or whatever) and just plugged in a pass through to vape?

I know people build mods out of the tekkeon, but let's say I just wanted to throw an un-modded USB charger in my coat pocket, and thread a pass through up my sleeve and use it like that, any thoughts?

Also, anyone used anything other than the tekkeon? Thoughts on that?

Thanks everyone!

Anyone have any information on this?

There was a bit of discussion about this in another thread in the modder's forum: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/130018-look-what-i-just-found.html

The main concern when using a USB battery charger is the Amp output of the device. Most are only rated for .5 amps out and a USB PT needs a minimum of 1.2 amps out to function properly. Theoretically, if you could find a USB battery that had the proper output, I don't see why it couldn't work.

This is my understanding of it at least. I thought the same thing as you, but was corrected in the other thread.

Does the Tekkeon USB charger already output 1.2 amps? Or is it specifically modded to do so?

According to Tekkeon TekCharge MP1800 Battery Pack for MiFi 2200, Overdrive & More! : EVDOinfo.com The Tekkeon TekChargeMP1800 outputs 5V at 2 amps.

So let's say I didn't have money for a tekmod, it looks like I could use a stock Tekkeon MP1800 with a pass through and it would work?

Not to mention charge my DROID phone, which needs charging 3/4 of the way through the day anyhow.
