Kensington - Portable Power Pack for Select Mobile Devices - Black - K38021
Hi I use a kennsington w/ a 4 post usb and 3 passthrus at a time
901 passthru 801 passthru and the peewee ( 4081 ) passthru and have no concerns or problems I have gone thru a few passthrus over a bit of time, They are kinda cheap, ( the way they are made, not the cost)
the mobile is a must have
I would suggest, one for walk around and a car mobile as well
'that is where you can buy an APC, it has an USB port and a 110 outlet so you can vape and charge at the same time
Okay what is the diff between the kensington and the APC? And what do you mean by a car mobile? Can't I just take the APC in the car with me?
This is what I bought, it works and its cheap. (just like me
)

Wow how funny, what a hoot. So when you have fully charged batteries and you plug your passthrough into this, does it last all day?
Yea, I charge them up the night before. Put them in and they last at least the day. Don't know how long it will last cause as a creature of habit, I charge daily.
I bought the Kensington USB portable power pack at bestbuy.com (on sale $20 off - woo-hoo!) and it works great with my 801 and 901 USB pass-throughs!
Thanks to everyone who recommended it! I'm fully-charged and a-going portable now.

Lucky, I LOVE my APC and I was actually going to start a post about it because it's great. I just bought it and I bought three new usb passthroughs for three different models. A 901, an 801 and one for my 4081. Well, I was smoking my lady pipe and my 901 exclusively because I couldn't stand my 4081 from npro. .. weak, it seemed.
Anyways, I am walking around with this battery pack smoking my Npros now! The power I'm getting is just great. I'm getting so much vapor, such a good hit. .. I can't even believe it's the same e cig. I used the same usb passthrough in my usb port on my computer and it's not great, but on that APC, it's just perfect. It's a great power source and less expensive than the Kensington. I charged it earlier today and it's been running for about 3 hours with no loss of strength that I can tell.
Kendra, where did you purchase yours? Also, I'm trying to find a passthrough for my 901 but it has to be someone that sells the 4075 parts because I orderd a passthrough before and it didn't work and I'm wondering if there are 2 different kinds one for the true 901 and one for the 4075. Thanks for the info. Let me know where you bought your mobile power pack.
This thread might help you on the problem you are having with usb pc port.

Specifically Cellmeisters comments.
I was told the problem is with atomizers. Some work with passthroughs some don't. I was told of a work around for them to work if you dont have enough atomizers. If you have enough, You can use the ones that work for passthroughs and the others for battery.
Yeah, see this is the problem I had. So what I'm wondering is if there is an actual 4075 model and a true 901 model, depending on who you order from regarding which parts they buy. You know what I'm saying? Cuz all my attys are 4075's.
I dunno, maybe a supplier would know but I was told that getting any atomizer to work with any passthrough is a crap shoot.
Here's a few I found on DX....cheap too.

This one is cheap, works great, and comes with batteries. I have two.

I got my passthroughs from vaporguys who delivered in two days. They do have the 901 but I don't know what kind it is. I'm having the same trouble you're having with my 801. I don't find the 801s to be compatible.
Thanks for this advice. The back usb has the same result as the lower-power front usb. I also have a high speed usb port attached with a high speed cable, and even that one is the same. But, on the 4081 Npro, even their own batteries aren't so great. After they're fully charged, it works and sputters, gets a bit of vapor, gets more, sputters. .. it's just not a perfect e-cig. But, using the power pack it feels like a real cigarette. Blows through liquid now, but it's still much better to vape.
I['ll have to search for this wall one.
So, now I have 6 batteries I'll probably never use. But this is my usb-powered one of choice for now.
I just realized that I have tried that and it does work. The new APC I bought can be used this way, too. You can plug it into the wall and use your device at the same time. So, it can charge, it can run as the battery without being connected to the wall, and you can run your cig while it's connected to the wall.

I love my APC ... worth every penny, i use it all day. No more crappy batteries for me
Agreed, my Kensington still going strong, both 801 and 901 smoking like crazy and it lasts me 2 days before needing a charge!!
