as per PawPaw I picked mine up at Walgreens about a week ago for 7 bucks (i-XT) it works great and yes, its a dual port
PT didn't work in car

I had this same problem. There are many good suggestions here, so I suggest picking one of those. I bought mine online and I can't remember where. 2000mA is more than enough for any PT on the market. Most of those only put out a real output of 1500mA, but still more than enough.
I have notice a different taste with my PT than with batteries. It has to do with more power. I have seen PT's with inline batteries. Purpose of this is wattage control. It seems kinda redundant at first, but here is why its a good idea.
A PT is a direct draw off of whatever it is plugged into to. So if you are plug into 1300mA, you get that delivery to your atty or carto (appx 6.5 watts) with 2000mA its a whopping 10 watts. (stick your tongue on it, it will shock the crap out of you!)
The inline batteries limit the flow of electricity to what the wattage capacity of the battery is. Reason this is good is it lowers the flow to what the atty is designed to handle. Some PT's just kick power and can burn up or influence the taste and flavor. You may get more vapor, but the taste is crap. You are basically burning the juice.
That said most PT's operating at 1200mA to 2000mA are generally ok, depending upon the juice. Some of my juice tastes horrible through the PT, but awesome with just batteries.
You will burn up some attys faster with a PT, but if you are using cartos, it does really matter (I have burn up 2 m401 attys quickly on my PT). Flavor is key. If the flavor is good, light em up. The vapor production is always better with a PT.
My 2 cents. Hope it was helpful!

Well not exactly. The device pulls the amperage it needs not the rated output of the supply. If the device needs 2000ma it will pull it. if it needs 1500ma it will pull 1500ma even if the supply is 2000ma.
Same as light bulbs. A 60 watt doesn't pull the same amperage as a 100w bulb. Even on a 20 amp line.

im hoping that v4L has 2 different adapter options as i obviously received the lower one...
i cant vape in the car

wonder if V4L is taking notice of this issue??? is it the adapter or the pt that is the culprit??
I believe they are aware,I also believe Its being sold as a charging adapter,not a PT adapter.Im not sure,its just how I read it.
you are correct. we are not using it for its intended purpose. which means that i need to purchase one of the suggested items above.
as a suggestion to V4L, they could emphasize in the product description that PT's will not work with it.
The filament in a 60 watt light bulb draw 60 watts because the filament acts as resistor. A 20 amp line with 110v service provides about 2200 watts of power.
A passthrough is nothing more that and "outlet" for an atomizer and will pull the wattage provided. If you don't believe me get an electrical tester and test it. On my lap top the pass throughs I have pull about 1.3A @ 5volts or 6.5 watts. On my 2a car adapter is pulls 9-10 watts on 5volts
Maybe some PTs have a resistor or capacitor built in, but the two that I have do not. If there was a capacitor present, it would work on a lower amperage outlet, because the capacitor would store up the electricity. That was the point I was trying to make about the in line batteries on PT, they provide a consistant current no matter what you are plugged into. The battery acts as the resistor and capacitor.
The car adapter I rec'd from V4L works okay with the manual PT in my car. And its rated at 200 ma I think.
You got one of the older (but not oldest) adapters. Even though it is marked "200ma", that is wrong. Its really 1000ma.
Apparently, there is a newer batch that are marked "1000ma". I think those are the ones people are having trouble with.
