I know with the passthroughs it needs to be 1000 mah (as opposed to 500 mah). I don't know about the usb chargers though.

anyone have any more info about this. i've tried looking on the packaging to see what kind of mah they use but it's not on there or on their website (Griffin or Belkin).
I would just rather be able to pick one up at the local store than order online.

I think Gabby just said she purchased one at walmart that worked. She might have more info. She just posted that too.

just curious...were you talking about a battery pack? I'm looking for info on car adapters that plug into the lighter thing in a car. I'm not sure if the mah matters as far as adapters go. any idea?

Yeah, I posted the info on the one I just bought in my "help with USB passthrough" thread on the tech problems section.
I am under the impression they do need to be the 1000 mAh and 5V. I found one at Walmart for $10. I posted the details on it in that other thread. If you can't find it, PM me.

thanks Gabby. I PMd you earlier but just saw your other thread. thanks for the info. i wish this freakin' manufacturer's would post the mah on their products...all I can find is voltage.

it does matter because you need the enough power to make it work. I'm still waiting for my Usb Cigarette charger from walmart, it's the scosche 2 usb charger($5.00). I should get it tommorrow in the mail, So I will let you know as soon as I get it if it works.
But on ebay if you type in 1000mah usb battery or 1000mah usb charger there are some very cheap ones on there for less than $5.00 with shipping included

thanks Duke! I actually just got done chatting with Gabby and you both gave pretty much the same info. I think I'll be heading to Wal-mart tomorrow to hunt down this elusive charger. haha.

I tell you guys what, if there's more than one of you in the car or if you have a small car, you'll be needing to crack a window! LOL!

Ever since I can Remember smoking My Regular Cigs I had my window cracked a little bit.
Now That I'm vapin in the car I feel like I have to crack the window still.
I guess I still have that smokers twitch , who knows.

Computer USB ports are actually only capable of supplying 500mA, so since the USB chargers and passthroughs are designed to work with those, I'd conjecture 500mA is all you'd need.
I'm curious if this'll work though and hope you guys report back on your findings

Mine works GREAT on my USB 2.0 Macbook Pro, but wouldn't light up at all on 2 other laptops (which I believe are USB 2.0 as well), so maybe there is some other factor at work? Mac is extra good for vaping?
equaz,
If you look around, you will see many report the 500 mah adapters do not work. Nobody seems to really know why that is; we speculate there is not enough power for some reason. My LEDs got a little red section lit but it just wasn't enough to vape with. The entire LED just wouldn't light up....that's all there was to it.
Others here told me to try the 1000 mah and that worked like a charm so doesn't this seem to speak for itself?

If they're usb 2.0 then that is a mystery... but if they're usb 1.0 then that would explain it, since 1.0 doesn't provide any power at all.
SambucaLu, yeah the evidence doesn't lie, but it sure is confusing. Perhaps there's some other number we're overlooking.
a USB-HUB with external power supply could do the trick.
the multiple usb port hubs have usually a external power supply,
so there will be enough power if all ports are beeing used.
what's left to check is, if each port has a amp-draw limit.
if not there will be 2 amps available on a 4 port hub if only one is used!!!

something like this
7 Ports Powered USB Hub
thinking out loud....
the same power supply can be used to power the usb cig directly from the wall...
