Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I am looking for a USB hub to charge all of my PVs and other devices.

I've tried a couple and what I've noticed is that with each device you add, it supplies less power, and ultimately stops charging.

I am basically looking for one hub that will let me charge 2 PVs (808s and ego style), power my passthrough and charge my iphone.

I don't need to actually transfer data to/from computer.

I've searched online, but other then super pro "charge 16 ipads" devices, I am not sure what to look for in product descriptions.

Any help greatly appreciated!

You are basically looking for something that for the most part doesn't exist, USB hubs are basically computer peripherals, not dedicated charging devices. That said there are 4 port hubs out there that use a 2A power supply, so basically about ~500mA per slot.

Why not assemble one?

You could start with something like this.

New USB High Speed 4 Port Power On/Off Switch LED Hub for PC desktop C | eBay

And power it with this.

New 5V DC 3000mA 3A Switching Power Supply AC Adapter Charger 5.5mm x 2.5mm 2A | eBay

The two ecig chargers would pull about ~500mA, leaving a full 2000mA available for the other two ports.
