USB passthrough help needed, for 510 & 901

[MisKate]

First off, I got a 510 kit from Eastmall, and it came with a USB passthrough that I didn't know I was getting. However it has a little inline battery box, but no battery in it. Can I use this without a battery in it? (haven't tried)

Secondly, I really love my 901's and want to get a USB passthrough for that model. But I'm confused! I've read (or think I have) about them with and without the manual switch battery...and possibly with and without the inline battery. I know nothing about what features I should be looking for. Nor do I know where to purchase or how much I should expect to spend! I've searched the forums but haven't come across the needed info. There's so much to read! Help please Thanks

The 510 passthrough needs the battery or there's no electrical connection. There are several good suppliers listed at the bottom of the forum page. I personally go with altsmoke.com because he's my son but I do know he gives very good customer service and would be more than willing to help you with any questions you might have.

Thanks for your reply, Malyden. I kind of figured that the 510 passthrough I have would not work without a battery.

Hey, I love the honesty there! haahaa But I'll admit, your son Rob is a good supplier to deal with. He is on my preferred list!

Well, he's not my son nor anyone I have ever met personally, but he has been of immense help to me twice. The first time was with my first order off of his site. He saw what I was trying to do, called me to clarify (about 20 minutes after I put in my order after normal working hours), and sent me what I was really trying to buy (2 complete kits when only one was showing as available on the site). The second time was a few days ago when I sent an email saying that my wall charger had stopped working and I was so hooked on my 510 I didn't want to vape my other ecig (LOL). He sent me a PM on this forum and had what I needed to me in less than 48 hours.

He's definitely high on my list for anything he carries.

I also recently ordered a 510 USB pass-through but from the Totally Wicked store, and like you it did not come with a battery which confused me at first. However, all it took was 1 quick e-mail and Louise from Totally Wicked replied saying that they would take care of it - a small jiffy bag arrived the next day containing the battery This is why I will continue to shop at that place, great customer service should always be encouraged/rewarded.

Yes the 510 USB pass-through does require a battery, it is basically a glorified USB battery charger rather than an actual "pass-through". When the battery eventually reaches the end of its life, you will need to get a new one...
