Question about my passthrough

You might have read about using an AC (wall plug) adapter. An AC adapter rated at 2 amps or more, like the iQ-Power Dual Adapter, will give your passthrough more power than a computer's USB port.
In general, it is always a good idea to tell us exactly what the PT model is, and what atty threading you are using, like 510 or 901. There are a lot of different PTs out there.
Amps are how much current the devise draws from the power source, such as the battery, if it is a PT with a batt-box, or 5V mains if it is a straight-wire into the USB. One can draw more current by using a lower resistance atty. If you are using 510 threading, there are low resistance attys available from many vendors. A regular 510 atty is about 2.5 ohms, on average. A low resistance atty is around 1.8 ohms.
Amps = volts/ohms. So a 5V PT will give 2 amps with a 2.5 ohm atty, and 2.8 amps with a 1.8 ohm atty. This is actually too much for most attys and or USB ports or AC converters, and something is likely to fry.
But an LR atty on a 3.7V Hello Sit-n-Go PT does quite well. This is why it is hard to answer specifically without knowing the actual model of PT.
I do now know of any adapters that will increase current draw, but perhaps another vet does.

A 5V passthrough probably will need a 2 amp A/C USB adapter, such as the one menthollight recommended:
Another is this one-port adapter from MadVapes or MyVaporStore
That's the one I have. I like it because you can charge two USB connected devices simultaneously. [NOTE: When both are used, it is one amp per port.] IndyVaporShop also carries it.
