It is just the USB device no atomizer, I placed a large order. I have several of my family and friends wanting some stuff so we went in together on an order.

Since you needed to order at least 12 of these, if you happen to have any extra, I would be happy to purchase one off you... PM me if you're interested in selling one :)

this to me looks like a charger, not a passthrough.

there are no threads to fit an atomizer onto it. I think the battery is there just to show how it works. there looks to be an LED at the end.

There seems to be a major problem with terminology on this thread. An ecig is comprised of 1) a cart 2) an atomizer 3) a battery or power source such as the usb passthrough. That is what an ecig is....all three of those put together. Yes, some ecigs combine the atomizer into the cart but the point is....you need all three to have an ecig.

You don't screw an ecig into a usb passthrough. You screw an atomizer into the passthrough.....or if the atomizer is included in another part, you stick the cartridge on the passthrough.

If I carry around an atomizer and cartridge, that is not an ecig....so why do people keep saying you screw an ecig into something?

Look at that picture. Where you would smoke from...the LED???? Doesn't that battery sticking out look exactly the same as when you are charging it from a wall charger? It's a usb charger...they carry those on other sites too.

Smarten up peeps before you start spending a lot of money on things that you only think you're getting.

And quit calling an atomizer and a cart an ecig! Gawd! :-x

Can I screw my 401 ecig into a passthrough? NO!!!! But you may be able to screw your 401 atomizer into one if they ever sell them somewhere.

Sheesh!

Not bad for English being my second language...is it? ;)

Smarten up, Lu. This is informal discussion, not one of your star trek conventions. We don't need to be 100% technically accurate, even assuming your definition is as established as you'd like to think. If people want to refer to an atomizer/cart as an ecig for the sake of brevity, then that's their prerogative. Most people including you will know what they mean.

Look at that picture. Where you would smoke from...the LED???? Doesn't that battery sticking out look exactly the same as when you are charging it from a wall charger? It's a usb charger...they carry those on other sites too.

Groovn made a mistake. It's been pointed out by three people and he's already addressed it. I don't see the need in pointing it out yet again, especially with your implications about intelligence added on.

Using proper terminology is useful for the newbs equaz. They are still learning what the various parts are/do...why confuse them more? When you go to a new site, don't you appreciate learning correct terms so when you are talking with other knowledgeable people, you don't sound dumb?

You may not mind sounding idiotic equaz....but others might. My post was for those who would like to sound like they know what they are talking about. It's quite apparent you don't.

I think we're past the point where I could count on my fingers the number of posts where you assess other people's intelligence as being inferior to your own. Makes me think you've got your own intellectual inferiority complex.

I don't think you're equipped to say what the correct terminology is in this case. I don't think anyone is. Again, to repeat what I said in my last response, there's no established definition such that you have the right to call someone else an idiot for using one that contradicts yours. These are really just opinions. To you, an ecig is all three components. To others, an ecig might be just the atomizer and cart. Until the dictionaries catch up with this technology, it's anyone's pick.

And it's not me who would be sounding idiotic according to you. I said:

A complete cig consists of a cart, atomizer, and power source.

So it's not me I'm concerned about. You're calling other people idiots. And that bothers me. You can continue to call me and everyone else dumb if that makes you feel better. But you'll still be a rotten human being.

No, not everyone...just you.

A rotten human being?...LOL

Why thank you! ;)

Lu

Re-read my last post -- you're calling other people idiots, not me.

And I use the term human being very loosely.

Your malice towards me specifically I've already addressed, you might've missed that. Or ignored it since you didn't have an answer. Anyway I hope it makes you feel better to get back at me via name-calling for making you feel stupid.

You're both ridiculous.

You could be correct there. I do like to argue, even over trivial things. Lu appears to enjoy it too.

Still though, within the scope of the argument, the exchange has gone something like this:

Me: Here's why you're wrong, etc etc...
Lu: I realize I am wrong so I will just respond by calling my opponent an idiot.

How can you not love that?

Maybe it's the new yorker in me. I have a taste for arguing with people, especially when it's this easy to win and my opponent doesn't English speak well :)

I've not heard of one for the 401 I'm afraid but if you're a handy type person you might want to try modding your own. There are threads on the tips and tricks board about converting batteries for USB connection.
Kate,

I found one at esmokershop and was in vapor heaven for about 2 weeks when it uncerimoniously died. I tried to go to the web site for warranty info but apparently he has temporarily shut the site down due to some border problems.
It worked great while it lasted though!
