UPDATE: I've going to do something kind of crummy.... Two of my friends asked me to get them atomizers too. One has paid, so that one is sacred, and I CANNOT touch it. The other one has not yet reimbursed me, so I'm opening it up and claiming it; desperate times call for desperate measures. I'll try to get him another one.
Rolland & XP 3 - No, the popped coils (if that's actually what I did) are on the 'mizers that came with my eGo-W.... they're different.... and I think I've been rolling the dice with them as I take them apart for cleaning and the coils are a little more brittle each time.... might have to stop doing that, though I got over 3 weeks out of each of them, so that seems to be within reason. And thanks, I'll monkey with the Stardust a little and see if it'll come back to life... but for now, I'm puffing on my "appropriated" 'mizer
catoliver - thanks for the encouragement. It was a 911 moment, as my crazy neighbor (who knows better) rang my bell at naptime and as a result my little boy woke up JUST as I was laying him down, and has been on a crabby rampage all afternoon. Something had to give! So glad the stuff I ordered for them was already in so I could pilfer it haha!!
Oh thank God! Hey, a good friend would understand. Desperate times call for desperate measures. A nicotine deprived mother with a sleepy, crabby toddler is a CRISIS!
Glad you didn't need to go to the store for a pack.
This is where i get to add my confusion to all this Two ego pass through's one is a standard ego c pass through (standard 5 pin usb), the other is a ego pass through vv i won from ljs e-smokes (odd proprietary usb -- and i have seen more then my fair share of different ends)
Four different wall warts:
1) Motorola 5-pin charger: 5V 550mA (i take it this is not good to charge the ego-c?) I think this was from a old blue tooth device
2) kindle charger: 5V 0.86mA (take it this is ONLY good for the kindle)
3) cubed blackberry charger*: 5V 750mA (this is not good to charge the ego c or ego vv pass through?)
4) Boge Revolution 2 charger*: 5V 500mA (this is the only thing that takes what feels like days to charge either ego and is ok?)***
*When i was living in Calgary that old beat up blackberry served me while. Alas the stress of the move was too much on her, and she has passed on to Silicon Valley. Her present of her wall wart remains. I can still her ring tone, like it was yesterday......
**As a bottom feeder it really did not preform well (for me) but as a box mod usb it rocked. Alas i was using it to drip and juice got in there, ~poof~ she too went to Silicon Valley.
***I have used this charger to charge two stealth batteries i had won. Oddly enough the stealth ego's will take about two to three hours to charge, and give me six hours use (for 350mAh and a heavy vaper that is aces!), when i charge the stealth batteries up via computer usb port, charging is about fifteen to thirty minutes, and still gives about six hours vape time
As long as the wall wart is 5V and has a mA output greater than the 420mA ego charger it is ok. The wall wart can provide up to X mA but the ego charger will only draw 420mA. This post explains it a little more.
I have a nook wall wart that is rated at 5v and 1 amp and I wouldn't hesitant to plug my ego charger into it if I needed although I haven't.
The usb 2.0 port on a computer can output up to 500mA, this doesnt mean it always puts out 500mA, just that it can. My optical mouse on the back says it is a 100mA device. When plugged into the 500mA max usb port it only draws 100mA.

thanks
Where i like to sit the outlet is to close to the wall, so have to try something like the blackberry cube charger, but did not want to risk it going to try it now and have a few vapes while it is chargingi just read the top of the last thread I posted. Someone has no issues using a 1 or 2A walwart.
Vaporkings recommends a 2A walwart for the passthrough.

Double check this, I bet it is .86 A which is 860 mA
If those are all wall warts, any of them should work for an ego 420mA usb charger. Remember 5V and greater than 420.
S0me passthrus require more than 420mAh, not sure about the ego vv passthru, but it should say on it. The wall wart has to put out more than the device requires for it to work.
There are pass-throughs and also pass-through batteries. If it has a mAh listing, then it is a pass-through battery. The pass-through battery ones send the USB power to the battery and when you vape it while charging, the power comes from the battery. A simple pass-through only has the USB as a source of power.
Either one is best served by a 2A (2000mA) wall wart because of the extra power required to vape. The charger for a pass-through battery is all internal, so the mA rating is not usually known. The connection from the pass-through to the USB connection is only a power cord.
A 2A wall wart is usable by all rechargeable e-cigs because it only makes the 2A available to the device, it doesn't force that to the device.
That was VERY helpful, and I'm printing it so i can refer back! Helps me better understand my other small electronics as well as my vaping stuff. MUCH appreciated
It's been a good and bad day.
1. Juggy's package arrived: very very good.
2. Coil on last working tank/clearo gave up the ghost: very very bad
3. No idea when replacements will arrive: bad
4. Ditzy neighbor (who knows better) rang bell JUST as I was laying crabby toddler down for nap: BAAAAD
5. Crabby toddler is now on rampage and refuses to nap: bad!
6. Only other atomizing device I own is the clearo that tastes like hot plastic: *sigh* baaaad
7. Said clearo was rinsed clean BEFORE other coil went.... so now I'm frantically trying to warm-dry it for use: kinda crappy
8. Crabby toddler's mood is contagious, and combined with nic-craving (defcon 3), momma's kinda edgy: not good
9. Convenience store with familiar brand of darts is within eye-spy range of my front door: NOT good
Might be in trouble here......
3 things:
1. Rolland is correct - have backups of your backups of your backups;
2. In case of dire emergency, I have a tube of 4 mg nicotine lozenges in the medicine cabinet. I use them when I have to fly, as they actually work very well and quickly; and
3. Don't beat yourself up if you do slip. Just get back up and keep going

I ended up appropriating an atty I ordered for a friend. As one person here put it, I needed it NOW, he'll need it eventually. The good news is that I got my pack of ten replacement tank'mizers in today's mail (happy snoopy dance). the lozenges are a terrific idea! I think I might have to look into those.
Thanks for the advice and the encouragement
Great advice found here.
I have an nicorette inhaler for extreme emergencies that I never ended up using because of my pack rat tendencies.
But, I do think it is a good idea for anyone who is stuck to go with a nic replacement, than a pack of stinkies.

You can buy disposables to vape at the convenience store.
Hope your weekend gets a lot better.

Disposables in Canada don't have nic.
First time I heard a cigarette called a dart!?Thanks Rolland..... appreciate that kindness, 'cos I'm donning my jacket right away.... I'm so new, I hadn't had time to back up my back ups yet..... orders are placed, but not arrived.... and I might have let that clearo get too warm, as now I can't seem to pull ANY air through it! It's just locked right up!
I think in many circles, the term 'dart' implies there's more than tobacco in there , but it can also refer to a tailor-made. There's even an e-cig company in Canada that uses that term in their name!
I've got one on order from the US.... it was a freebie, so I sent for it! Figured I'll either gift it to someone who wants (needs) to try vaping, or I'll put it away for just such emergencies as these...
If I had a toddler, I'd disable front door bell. Also I'd probably hang myself in the barn. Anyway, good thinking with the friend's order.
