question about passthrough

[jiff]

Now, I've read a few different things on passthroughs... First I've heard that a usb cord on it's own puts out 5v, and that makes me think it could be wired straight to a switch and atty and be good to go. Other places I've read stuff about "dummy batteries"? Not sure what that means exactly.

Basically I'm asking what set up there needs to be to make a passthrough device.

Thanks!

Yes if you take out the battery you can wire past and get 5 volts. The only reason the battery is there is to run 3,7 volts off of. I made my own. It's a 510 connector with switch and usb cable in a housing.

Ok, thanks.

Jiff, take a look here-http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modders-forum/91860-dart-small-usb-mod.html. I'm using it right now with an APC usb power supply & a 510 carto.

If you are a Joye 510 user and want 5V you need a 5V@2.5A power supply.
