Yeah they are both the USB PassThrough but the one on litecig comes as a little kit with an atomizer and cartridges where as the one on puresmoker is only the USB device.

Sorry... I didn't mean to fuel the fire guys... I was just trying to help :cry:

I do have a question about this USB PassThrough device though if anyone can answer it.... Does it ever need to be replaced like the batteries do?

We seem to all be in agreement there, even though Lu prefers to keep "arguing" :)

I've read about some passthroughs that aren't very well made and did need to be replaced... however so far, I haven't seen anyone say that about the one from Puresmoker.

Don't worry about fanning the flames. SambucaLu and I actually really like each other. This is just our way of showing our affection.

Let's see....

At 6:40PM, Danny comes on and says (note the bold):

Actually I know what your talking about (the 2nd device that isn't the USB passthru battery).

In your reply 15 minutes later, you agree with him.

Then Danny comes back and says (note the bold):

Yeah they are both the USB PassThrough but the one on litecig comes as a little kit with an atomizer and cartridges where as the one on puresmoker is only the USB device.

And then you agree with that....saying we are all in agreement but I'm the one who wants to argue. Good Lord!

You said:

......one a complete cig and one an attachment that goes in place of a battery.

What replaces the battery is the usb lead equaz. If you want to say the usb lead is the battery, then it is the same with both. One comes with the atomizer already attached (somewhere) and the other doesn't. Period.

Either you are completely dense or just stubborn. I just saw you are doing the same thing on the green juice thread. People have already said they have put the juice in the fridge since day 1 and it still turned green. You say you are going to put yours in the fridge and "Hopefully that'll do it."

Dense or stubborn? Eh...I'll let the readers here decide. Meanwhile, I'm done with this debate. I don't have time for such silliness.

Now to answer your question Danny. Some say the wire on the lead will eventually wear and unless you can duct tape it or something, the whole thing would need replacement. Someone also reported that after 6 weeks (I think it was 6...or maybe 5).....his died but it was a cheaper version he had gotten from China (as I have as well since mid Nov and none have died yet).

I don't think (and certainly hope not) that they will have to be replaced like the regular ecig batts but really, only time will tell how durable they really are.

Hope that helped.

I would get one back-up though, just in case it does die one day... :)

My main problem with the usb-pass-throughs that I have (not being puresmokers, just to be clear) is the wire ... it's really just too stiff on the ones I have... they will break very soon: mostly at the device-end, but also at the end where it enters the powerpack or hub or whatever.
Could anyone in the knowledge of what is good, perhaps point me to what kind of wire is fit for a usb-cable and would not have chance of breaking each few days or weeks?
(And a link to an online-store where EU-customers can buy would of course be just great!)

Again, nothing I said contradicted that. We're still in agreement. You may just have to trust me on that, since mastery of the English language doesn't see to be among your greatest skills.

Calling me names doesn't prove your point. That's just a show of immaturity and proof of a weak argument.

Here's mine:

I said one's a complete cig and one an attachment that goes in place of a battery.

The USB "passthrough battery" is an attachment that goes in place of a battery on an existing e-cig. That's one device for sale. A USB device to power your existing e-cig.

A complete cig consists of a cart, atomizer, and power source. The power source in this case is the USB attachment. That's the second device for sale. A complete e-cigarette, with atomizer, power source, and carts.

Danny: Actually I know what your talking about (the 2nd device that isn't the USB passthru battery).

You agree...

Then Danny comes back and says (note the bold): Yeah they are both the USB PassThrough but the one on litecig comes as a little kit with an atomizer and cartridges where as the one on puresmoker is only the USB device.

You agree again...

If you're trying to say that those two claims are contradictory, and that I'm dumb for agreeing with both, then not only have you misunderstood... but, you're saying that Danny is an idiot too. After all he's the one saying those things I agreed with.

What's more likely? That everyone else is wrong, or that you're just misunderstanding, due to your deficient English skills? Think about it.

One more thing:

No, I never said the USB "lead" is the battery. The USB device is definitely NOT a battery; it's just called a battery by the company. A battery is a device that stores power and then provides it independent of the original source -- not a device that channels power from an existing source. Again: The USB "passthrough battery" is NOT a battery.

Take a look here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...usb-passthrough-battery-m401-2.html#post75240
You: "There is nothing that screws into an ecig in place of the battery."

Me: "Well if the USB passthrough screws into an atomizer and cart, then that IS in place of the battery... isn't it?"

You: "The end of the passthrough looks like a battery..."

Me: "Yes, it looks like a battery, but it's not..."

Heh. It was after I pointed out your blunder that you got all nasty and defensive. I guess maybe I shouldn't have done that, or else we wouldn't be in this mess. I'm not always sensitive to other people's sensitivities.

Now that I'm thinking about it more, it all makes sense now. I was mystified as to why you were acting this way towards me when you seem so nice to everyone else -- yeah even to inexperienced people.

After the incident I just recounted where I pointed out your mistake, that's when you started looking for "inaccuracies" in my statements in other threads.

I pointed out your mistake, you took it as an insult, and you looked for a way to "hurt me" back, by pointing out my "mistakes".

Like here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...discussion/4923-usb-charging-2.html#post78673

And here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...discussion/4923-usb-charging-3.html#post78795

Most of the things you tend to point out are things I just didn't know yet because I haven't read as much of this forum as you have. And in the case of the first link, something that I didn't know you had experienced cause I... can't read your mind.

Like that Johnson Creek refrigeration thing you just pointed out in this thread, that had nothing to do with the discussion, but is yet another example of something I didn't know yet cause I didn't read it yet.

I'm new here. It doesn't make sense for you to be nasty about those things to a newbie. The only possibilities are that you're either a jackass, which I doubt since I haven't seen you act that way with other people (...though I am new here so I may just not have seen it yet) -- or I hurt your ego and you needed to get back at me.

It all makes sense now! Fascinating. :thumb:

I am going to take a risk and go allllllllllllllll the way back to the origanal post.

USB passthrough battery for M401

The USB Passthroughs for the M401 are avalible in black from Royalsmokers. They show white in the pic but they said they all were black for the M401. I ordered some, so I can update here when I get it and try it out.

I looked on Royalsmoker before and think I saw those, I'm pretty sure they're USB chargers for the 401 battery, not an actual USB passthrough. Could you post a link though? Thanks.

They have them both, the charger and passthrough. The passthrough is listed as a charger though, they have that part wrong on there site.

Accessory Electronic Cigarette Portal Accessory

Yeah that's what I saw. Looks like you're right, it does look like it's a passthrough. It's not clear if it comes with the atomizer etc or if it's just the USB device.

Please do let us know about these when you receive them, I'm very curious! The lack of a USB passthrough is a big problem for me with the 401.

How did you get around the order minimum at Royalsmoker, by the way? Or did you actually order enough to make the minimum? I'd order one of these now but needless to say I don't want to spend that much at the moment :)
