Smoking from a wall outlet~! (?)

If your adapter puts out .5 amps and your PT needs 1.5 amps you're likely to have a problem since there's not enough current. If your adapter puts out 2 amps and you only need 1.5 you have some extra that doesn't get used and it's ok.

It's kind of like a water faucet. You can turn it on full blast, but you don't always have to. You don't want to turn it all the way on to get a small cup of water, but to fill a bathtub that takes a lot more water you put it as high as it'll go. I hope this analogy makes sense?

Yes! This analogy makes perfect sense to me. I'm on my way to find a 2amp adapter. I will try the local stores like Radio Shack and Walmart before resorting to online mail order ...
Thanks!

Won't this increased power risk burning out the Atty?

Yes, at some point it would, but then that is why people go to PT, to experience higher power vaping (that extra warmth and vapor is a nice thing). People who go to a real LR atty, a 1.5 ohm, at 3.2V are doing so just to get that extra power -- around 7W, though they're drawing over 2A on the battery while doing so. I'm purely a carto person, haven't had any carto failure issues running my 2.6 ohm cartos on a PT though they frankly run a too hot for me, so I really haven't used them that often. I find that my 3 and 3.3 ohm cartos are generally pretty nice, 3 ohms for many things and 3.3 ohms for some of the gentler flavors that get a bit "burnt" at 3 ohms. Interesting side note, a Riva kit that I recently got had one atty at about 2.4 ohms and the other measured 3.4 -- the 3.4 is way too high for the Riva battery, but likely really nice on a PT.

for odds and ends electronics, cables, and power outlets and such check out monoprice.com they have ridiculous prices on this stuff, and good quality stuff at that.

You better have a power supply.........120 VAC will not work u need a power supply to step down the voltage and convert it to DC usually 5 VDC. Make sure it is 2A or 2000mah. That the specs for a kr808/901. It works great.

Also in the car.........make sure you have enough mah or its useless. A pc only puts out 500mah or .5A not enough.

Go to madvaped 5VDC 2a or 2000mah.

2A = 2000mah

Enjoy

That's incorrect. The eGo USB battery doesn't need many mA (there is no 'h') at all to power it's built in charger. It's still just a battery device. A computer port provides more than enough current @ 500mA to feed it's charger.

And FWIW Janty never calls or describes the eGo USB battery as a pass through.

Okay folks, here is what I bought: (2 things)
#1:
A wall adaptor that has 4 USB ports.
On the back it says:
DC Output: 5V / 2A
AC Input: 100V - 240V
50/60Hz 280mA

The insert for the AC to USB says this:
Allows you to charge up to 4 devices.
Short Circuit protection and overload protection.
Indicator light: Lights when power is connected. Blinks when overload.
NOTES:
Using one port yields the full 2000mA, two ports yields 1000mA per port, and all 4 ports yields 500mA per port.

#2:
A car cigarette plug that has 1 USB port, 1 plug for an electrical plug, and 1 plug for a cigarette-type plug.
On the back it says:
12VDC to 115VAC Power Inverter
Input: 12VDC Nominal, 11-16VDC range
Output: 115VAC/150 W continuous
Peak Power: 300 W
USB Output: 5VDC 500mA (max)

So, if I understand everyone correctly, the AC to USB will be able to charge 4 Riva/eGo batteries all at once.
But it will only power the eGo passthrough if it is plugged in by itself OR with just one Riva/eGo battery.

For the cigarette plug:
I can charge a Riva/eGo battery but NOT charge the passthrough (because it only will power 500mA and the passthrough needs at least 550mA)

Am I correct?????????
If so ... here's a question:
Could I plug in my AC to USB adapter (that normally goes into a wall outlet) into the electrical plug on the cigarette plug adapter and THEN plug the passthrough into that?
