What's the voltage on the BB passthrough?
Did the e-cigar take other batts or was it one of the built in ones?
The exploding battery issue has got me scared, what USB PT options do I have?

Not sure what battery the Darwin uses but I want something that doesn't have a battery involved. From readings, it charges the battery than you vape from the battery. You're still going through the same charge/discharge cycle.
Being picky but I don't mind spending the extra cash for what I want. If not I just keep buying more batteries and cycling through them. It just seems very anti-environmental when I'm junking 5 batteries a month. Also getting annoyed at babying charging.
Oh, just wanted to add this link for people who might be unaware:

Blah, was hoping for a 3.7 or a VV.
Wow, I hope we find out which model it was. I thought all the built in batts were relatively safe though I have heard of eGO's blowing while charging.
Doesn't have info on the newest one. Where did you read up about the e-cigar?
LOL Well, there are some ego passthroughs that might work for you. Although, the built in batts are the worst. Since there isn't anywhere for the gas to escape. So, there's a higher risk of the whole thing blowing up on the person that is using it. Although, it's also the same case with mods that have no vent hole. The link I provided above has a lot of information as to what to look out for when trying to avoid this type of disaster.
It has it for Jan 2012 which is the most current information that has been compiled. As for the e-cigar, I heard it from a friend. So, I'm not 100% certain about that.
Yeah, can't seem to find one that doesn't use a battery to step down.
Thanks for the heads up but I've read that a long time ago (during one of the smaller battery scares, also made me buy a Pila charger back in the day).
Eh, only the paranoid survive.
I went through all of candlepowered battery information before jumping onto big batt mods. They have quite a few more recorded explosions than ECF.
New incident Feb 13. Unless I'm completely wrong.

Thought the Jan explosion was due to stacked CR123's.
Back on topic:
Anybody know any higher end PT's that do 3.7 without a battery to step down? Or VV?

Bump, thought more people would be looking for PT's.
Blah maybe just get a cheapo.
For anybody else indyvapor seems to have 3.7v PT's.
Seem to be the cheapo. All of the 5v's seem blah. If somebody made a quality 3.7 or VV PT mod, I would pay for it. Heck a wooden PT mod would be great.

If you want a nice 3.7v that holds less risk go with the epipe. The battery is sitting in the open and if it explode the risk of it hurting you is slim. Take a look at the design and you'll understand what I mean.

You shouldn't be worried about this.. Nor should anyone. You're fine with what you're using.

I got a battery-less passthrough that is variable voltage so I could try out v.v.. I had to get a 2amp ac-USB adapter USB AC adaptor $7. Both are working well and no problems so far. The passthrough I received has four voltage settings instead of three as listed- maybe newer stock?? USB Variable Voltage Passthrough $19
That looks cool. I was searching around for the OP but didn't find much. I might try one of those just for the heck of it.
If you read my posts, I already went through a battery blow out (non e-cig related) before and that freaked me to the point of phobia maybe. I junk 5 batteries a month just due to rotation. I check charge/discharge cycles and junk when its half way its rated lifespan (I don't trust batteries to be fresh or even legit, I've seen quite a few bootleg batteries in my life).
I do this to further minimize risk. I would like a PT so I can limit the charge/discharging I do on my batteries.
Why is it so hard to understand, I just want another safety net? I'm not going to stop vaping. I just want to make it safer for myself. I'm most stationary right now so why take extra risk when I don't need to?
And people saying not to worry are the people who worry me. Batteries explode. Even protected ones. Only the paranoid survive.
Well I'm going to contact modders and see if anybody wants to make me PT with VV.
And to the cell phone thingie, yes I do but I keep it away from my body (usually in a bag). Monitor its charging and either get a new phone or swap the battery before its rated lifespan is up.
And to the guy who mentioned the Jazz. I already own one (plus I stopped being a carto guy). Just want something for when I'm stationary.
Thanks, just ordered one! I saw this last night but the never heard of that vendor.
Arnold, I mean Eric, at DV seems to be a nice guy...very honest, open, and down-to-earth. I have made 3 orders there so far and am very pleased. Low prices, fast shipping, and the Organic Tobacco I got yesterday is my new favorite juice. I ordered 2 more bottles and one bottle with vanilla.
use as passthrough, they're pretty awesome. Saves a lot of time charging too, but you always get a good hit.. I doubt they would ever explode.
Gargh how do you pay this guy? I want to give him my money but he doesn't have anyway for me to pay online?
