usb mod help

[mlkeyballs23]

so i bought mod parts from mad vapes and i made a 1650 mod box, came out great and i got a extra pre wired 510 batt connector just in case.After i seen what i did with the 1650 mod i figured id make a usb pass through with the other connector.I spliced the usbb wire and have 4 wires white green black and red so i used red as my power to center of connector and black as neg to outside.I plugged it into the wall and everything looked good till i put my atty on.Once i screwed the atty all the way on my wall adapter lit up red and green.
Can any 1 tell me if the prob is me or my batt connector?

Welcome mlkeyballs23...best bet for you is the Modding Forum for your answer...after you get 2 more posts, I'll move this over there for you.

 

[classwife]

...you left...ok....me too....

 

[BluSwatch]

Uhhh ..... ..... lost me .... post a couple of replies and it will get you to the mod forum like classwife said. I'd love to help, but ....

People in the Modding section of ECF will know. But you can't posts there yet.

Get 2 more posts or replies in New Members (with content, not spam - for example, greet or help 2 people). Then one hour later you can post in the Modding forum.

hi thanks alot

 

[mlkeyballs23]

is their a e juice that you recommend for a decant price?

ok, mlkyballs23...gonna move ya over....hang on....



edit: Moved to Modders Forum

You have the wires connected correctly:

What kind of 'wall adapter' are you using? If it's for charging cig-style e-cigs or eGo style e-cigs, these won't work for a passthrough - not enough current coming through. You need a wall adapter that delivers around 2A or greater.

wooooooooooooooow 5v is off the hook

If you have a powered USB hub, this should work; you want to be careful with plugging a 'non battery powered' PT into your computer. Most computer USB ports are only rated for 0.5A, there is a possibility of damaging the motherboard.

Unless your computer is a throw-away, don't plug your 5V direct passthrough into one of its data ports. It can't support the current demand. Some computer USB ports will shut down if overloaded and provide a warning on-screen, others simply shut down the port, and still others don't do anything and just let the computer's motherboard burn up. As TomCatt said, use a powered USB hub at the least. Though, it's still sketchy since they are typically not designed to provide that much current either, but at least you won't potentially fry your computer or at best, burn up one of its data ports.

The best thing to use is a USB wall adapter with a minumum 2A output capability. Even then, you'll get a lot of voltage sag since the adapter will be heavily loaded. You'll probably be vaping somewhat under 5V, but you'll still be getting way more power to the atomizer than you would with a regular battery powered e-cig.

Even with a hub or computer data port, you'll get the limit of what the port can provide which is still probably more than you'd get with a standard battery-powered e-cig, but it stresses the port to the point of failure.

A good, but obscure way to go is to tap 5V directly off your desktop computer power supply by making a Molex to USB adapter. That's the white 4 pin one used on the old PATA hard drives. It's actually an obsolete connector, but most computer power supplies still have them. Probably not sojmething you'd be interested in doing, but desktop computer power supplies can output large currents. The current demand of an atomizer is insignificant for one. You would get the full 5V at the atomizer.

Bonjour,
La solution la plus simple et la moin cher,c'est d'utilisé un chargeur de PSP 5V/2A et d'adapter les fiches adequat.
De plus le fil d'alimentation est tres long!!!et c'est tres efficace,sa se trouve pratiquement dans tous les magasins!!
Ne vous servez pas de vos port USB d'ordinateur comme alimentation!!!c'est dangeureux sans batterie tampon,la carte mere ne va pas suivre car elle ne peu debité que 0.5A et nos atomizeur reclame minimum 2A.

Hello,
The simplest and cheapest is to use a PSP charger 5V/2A and adapt the plug fitted.
Also the power cord is very long! And it is very effective, it is practically in all stores!
Do not use your computer's USB port as power supply! Is dangerous without backup battery, the motherboard will not follow because it does not output only 0.5A and our atomizeur reclame minimum 2A.

oops i did it already and it was working fine i wont do that any more thanks guys
