That's the first time I've ever heard that as well- just thinking about it for a second, there is a *remote* chance that if you did something insanely stupid- like dropping your battery, with the power button taped down in the on position, into a bucket of saltwater...or if you exposed the positive and negative leads on the usb cord and either crossed the exposed leads, or dropped them into saltwater...
...actually, now that I think about it, it would be nearly impossible to screw up your pc, unless you use faulty equipment OR your battery melts down and you don't disconnect it *at all*. Or, if you do something as insanely stupid as what I mentioned above.
I am vaping on a passthru right now on my laptop, have been doing the same for 3 years with multiple PT's and multiple PC's. I'll continue to do so unless I am missing some piece of information that I can't figure out...
You might be right.
I've never had a problem, but when I read about some peops on this forum that did,
I decided I couldn't afford to take the chance. I have the power supply right by my
computer, so it's stupid for me to take the chance.
Monkey, you can get an adapter if you want and plug it into an AC outlet/strip/whatever
in the same way you do the computer.
I'm glad for you that you got a passthrough without the battery. I want to get one,
probably the same one. That's because the passthrough I have with a battery has
a problem after a while. The connection gets worn because of vaping it, and it no longer
gives/gets power - one or the other, not sure which. I have to carefully hold so the
power chord doesn't jiggle and where out or where the battery connection out.
