Welcome!
You might be better served using a wall adapter. Probably a 1000mA, but I think you can go up to 2000mA. My personal preference is to get a dedicated charger, but I do charge batteries in the mod on occasion.
Should be 1000ma so I guess you could. I do highly suggest you get a charger and use it. If cash is an issue you can get nitecore's pretty cheap. illumn.com
Yes, you can use a wall wart to charge the Alien with. Just please make sure it's a decent one, and not a $0.99 cheapo from a convenience store. They're notorious for poor wiring (big surprise at the price point). That would go even more for something more expensive like your cellphone. It's just not the place I would try to save one or two dollars.
Simple answer: "yes", absolutely.
Just don't use a cheap one... use a decent one from a decent brand. A cheap one can heat up, not provide stable power.
A 500mah will charge at the same speed as your laptop, while I believe that the Alien can charge up to 1Ah, so if your wall adapter is a 1Ah, it'll charge faster.
If you have a 2Ah (usually for tablets) adapter, it will still charge at 1Ah, it's the device that controls the incoming power.
Note that lithium batteries prefer slow charges (the harder/faster you want to charge such batteries, it will shorten it's life) as it keeps the batteries cooler.
Second note, as the mod is in series, one battery will eventually have a bit more power (as in series, the power follow through both batteries so one battery get more power/pushed through the other) so every once in a while, it's a good thing to flip them to keep them balanced.

Welcome and glad you joined. Sounds like everyone has an opinion. If this mod were mine, I would first send an email and see if Smok customer service will answer. Years ago, the wrong electrical charging specs could produce unwanted outcomes.
