Q: Organizing my chargers

[wdave]

Okay, I'm coming down the home stretch to make vaping a no brainer

I hope this is the final obstacle. I'm trying to figure out how to mount the chargers for my 510's and 901's on a wall, side of desk, etc. so the electrical chords don't move around and break.

A 510 PCC won't work for me, though my wife is carrying one in her purse.

I already ordered a Kensington 4-port USB wall charger and USB chords for the 510. One port for the PCC and three ports for 510 batts. Adding one additional 510 wall charger and three 901 wall chargers for the 901, the total is now eight wall chargers.

Please help

And I can't add either...the total is five wall chargers...I think

I actually just ordered a couple of spare wall chargers for my 901 and 510. I am just going to make a little box out of some MDF with the chargers mounted inside. Drill a hole for each charger and a small hole or two out the back for the AC lines and just put a power strip behind it. I then plan on using a label printer to identify which hole on the outside is for which ecig. I think I am going to run a Mini-USB to the top of said wooden box as well so i can put my PCC on top to charge it. Basically a smallish 'vaping charge station' I will put up some pics in a few days when the rest of my stuff comes in.

Maybe you guys should consider another type of device? Like a Janty stick? It'll let you get rid of all your chargers because it has a built in USB charging/passthru connection. Just saying.

Try a mod, 1 charger, 2 batteries,5-10 hrs on each battery. Battery replacment cost about 2$.....Problem solved

I am putting together a NicoStick for both my 510 and my 901 as well. I tend to be out and about a bit more often than some where having my traditional e-cig batteries would be easier and draw less awkward attention. Nothing wrong with having a whole arsenal of supplies, right?

What's a NicoStick?

Being 53 years old, I'm "sparing no expense".

I have a large picnic basket that has a double lid. I just put a surge protector and power strip in there and keep everything in the basket. It looks pretty neat. The cord comes out the back and plugs into the wall. I keep all my chargers in that basket.

One more example of how I can't see a simple solution when it's right in front of my face.

IKEA here I come

Stormy.....what a great idea! I have cell phones & e-cigs plugged in everywhere in my kitchen + an occasional small power tool. The basket mod would work beautifully.

Thank you!!!!

Can't post a link but do a google search for executive Charging Valet at amazon.

When I take a trip I have a bag set up for all of my chargers. I have a surge protected power strip in there and every thing is plugged up inside the bag. Not all motel rooms have enough plugins. When I leave it is all in the bag. This way nothing gets left behind and everything gets charged.

Im looking into splicing a cell phone car charger and a USB cable. To my knowledge, USB cables run around 5v?

Just curious, dont wanna burn out my m402 while driving


or if anyone can point out a cheap USB car charger thatd be cool too

You could consider using one of those valet stations with the built-in power strips.

I am new, so I can't post a link, but just google:
charging valet

There are many different styles to choose from.

Looks like I missed matsucg's post up there.

It was recommended to me to go to Amazon and search for a Kensington. They make an adapter for just about any application. As I can't see staying in a car long enough to charge a battery, I like the idea of a USB passthrough connected to a simple USB to cigarette lighter adapter. There is a Kensington adapter for this. I've yet to get the setup and paid the price of not having it when camping in the rough, where I could have at least sat in my truck while I vaped

Hope this helps,
Dave
