Portable USB PT option?

[Unperson]

Was viewing this and thinking it wouldn't be too difficult to rig it to accept a USB PT. You wouldn't need a long cable since it connects right on your wrist. Maybe rig an open clamp to dock the e-cig on your wrist as well.

Am I going to far off the deep end here? Thoughts?

That has got to be one of the most awesome things I've ever seen, even a great D&D reference name (I know, I'm a dork LOL)

Niiice, noticed it on thinkgeek too, love that site but I'm still not sure about this. It runs at 5.5 volts, but doesn't list the amps... 1+ amps should be suitable for at least custom passthrough use. If we had a little more information, I think you may be very right!

What I'm envisioning is a 6" mini-usb cable with a RCA male connector that plugs into a RCA female connector with a small manual switch leading to a 510 female battery head. That keeps the unit very small. Maybe have the atty and cartridge snap into a ring you can wear on your middle finger with the wire running along the back of the hand. Not sure how to place the switch. Maybe have it on the inside of the ring (on your middle finger) so you can press it with your thumb to take a pull from the cartridge.

Technically, it could be a hands-free PV; so to speak. It's attached to your hand, but you still can use your hands for most functions.

Or.. ..rig the unit so the atty and cartridge are connected directly to the wristband with an open clamp and you can draw by bringing your wrist up to your mouth.

Hmm...

The specs don't list the output. Many such devices output far less than what atties need. If it's about 1000mA it's not much use. Even 1500mA will only drive a Joye 510 at about 3.3V.
