usb passthrough/charger

please lemme know how it goes, mr kuya dave!! if you come across any new idea keep us posted! i think it would take a while to fully charge a 18650 but the idea for me would be to keep the battery as fresh as possible so I can keep that sweet 4.2V. i heard it holds its charge for quite a while... i got some 5V booster from TI today and if this idea works i might not even use them.

5v booster?
huh?
im looking into the indulgence also.
perfect mod for me for normal usage
besides my juicebox once it arrives
& trying to figure a small unit to use to give 500mah to charge faster.

I also agree with keeping it topped off.

Ain't gonna happen.

why not? care to generously explain? is it the 510 charger output to low? would it make any difference if i buy that ebay one that comes from china that the guy states it being 400mah?
i mean. if i full charge the 18650 on my wf-139 and use the build in charger to vape pt style and let it charging while not being used im gonna be draining lot less and it should at least improve the darn thing, right? thanks and sorry if im a bit confusing.

Yea, "Ain't gonna happen" is good to know, but so are the details of why it ain't gonna happen.

I think he was talking about the boosters. I've heard from a few places that they can blow up batteries. Something about them pulling too hard off of them.

Sorry for the flippant response.

I should have explained, what you will be doing with the charger is keeping 'that sweet 3.8V vape'.

To actually get to 4.2V while vaping you'd need a real PT with a power supply than can provide about 1900mA assuming a Joye 2.2Ω atty.

WB That is accurate also.
I was thinking the booster. LOL
Only way to maintain Is to have psu that Can maintain that voltage under load.
My thought for charging is a slow charger for while your in vehicle or to charge over night.
Nothing like driving & find you forgot to charge your backup battery
