usb passthrough battery????

i'm going to get a usb passthrough & i'm wondering what it means if one has a battery & one doesn't

USBs run at 5 volts. If there is some kind of inline battery (aka. a little black box), I think it's a 3.7 volt model. I'd recommend a the 5 volt since it's a great way to try out higher voltage for a cheap price. Around $15. Did that answer your question?

BTW There are a few models out there that are a kind of hybrid. The battery has a USB mini plug at the end where there is usually a LED. This works as a passthrough you can unplug and take with you once charged.

so if i get one without a battery is that better? also do you know where they sell them cheap? (without battery if that's better)

This is the model I got and I love it! Tastes are subjective but 5 volts gives more vapor and better flavor in most people's opinion.
510 DIRECT PASSTHROUGH (NO IN-LINE BATTERY BOX)<--5ft cord

Just make sure you're using a 510 model.

Depends on what you've already got -- if you use a KR808D-1 right now, probably look for an 808 pass-through (so you can use the same cartos). If you use a 510, then a 510 passthrough, etc.

Madvaps have good prices on passthroughs and usb 2amp wall chargers. The wall charger can be use to power your passthru if you don't want to use a computer. I find the longer (5') passthru allows more movement around than my old (3') one did.
